The 25 Best Heavy Metal Bands - List Of The Day

21) Pantera - wtf they should be more like top 5

8) Does the author know the meaning of Heavy Metal?????

5) Jimi Hendrix - great music, but not metal.

Terrible list.

 

[Aaron Jacobs]

There were a few bands I wouldn't list as heavy metal in that article.

 

[ISUKyro]

Bands I feel that should have been on the list:
Slipknot
Otep
Disturbed
Soulfly
Drain S.T.H.
Rammstein
White Zombie/ Rob
Shadows Fall

 

[CycloneWarrior]

thunderstruck by AC/DC is my favorite football pump up song

 

[SeattleClone]

Sorry, GnR does not belong behind Spinal Tap. I mean, I know their amp goes to 11, but come one!

 

[Cyclone62]

I'm not even sure anyone in the top 5 should be considered "Metal" beside Black Sabbath, and I consider that to be borderline. Slayer doesn't even crack the top 10? Lamesauce.

This was a list of the crappiest bands of all time correct? Cause they did a great job on that.

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is ponderous. That's a good joke.

Blasphemer!

So would some of these acts be considered Hard Rock instead?

"Killed By Death" is one of my favorite Motorhead songs.

 

[Cyclone62]

I'd go with just "Rock" for Led Zepp, Aerosmith, KISS, Jimi, and some of the others.

No, GnR WAS on the list, just not high enough.

 

[whirlybirds]

GWAR might of not made this list, but they would put any band to shame in a live performance

 

[Darth Cy]

Killed by death an absolute best.

I can't believe no megadeth in the top 25. When you look at the list I think you need to put those bands in perspective to when they were at there peak. Bands like Zeppelin and Hendrix in the day were considered Heavy Metal.

A band I can't figure out is how did Aerosmith even get on this list. I know I am thinking of there most recent stuff but to consider them Heavy Metal. I put them more with rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

keine Skorpione und kein rammstein? der Kerl ist ein Idiot

Yeah, what he said Whoever made that list is an idiot. Most of them aren't heavy metal.

 

[balken]

Every time one of these clowns puts a list like this together, they throw in some "controversial" item to get people talking about them. I am surprised he didn't throw Neil Diamond in at #18 just to stir the pot.

 

[Bobber]

I think I see the generation gap at work in this thread.

 

[06_CY]

Bands I feel that should have been on the list:
Slipknot...

They would easily make the worst list!

Alice in Chains should be closer to #1.
