If you're going to nominate a Slipknot song for great metal, then it has to be from the Iowa album.
The greatest Metal song of all time?

Small callout: metal has given us some awesome album art, with Master of Puppets being high up the list.
Nah, not hard, kids had already heard the wolf howl in 1968 (not much metal, I guess, but on digital, you can hear a whole lot more than we used to on vinyl...)
Best Metal. This should be good. I'll jump in soon. Looking forward to listening. Metal is not my favorite but there are some good ones.
The best lyrics by any band has to be Steel Panther. Diverse and thoughtful.
Pretty good choice. Cant' say I liked some of the vocals, haha, but great musicianship thruout!
Vocals are always the hardest thing to find solidarity on IMO. He's just using what God gave him.
I think I know what metal is, and heavy metal, the latter I don't really care for too much. Here is one to consider. It's more in the Rock genre but with Eddie VH there is metal going on! And I'm sure EVH inspired a lot of metal bands.
I'm not anywhere close to picking my 'best' metal song yet. Don't know enough.
Its definitely their heaviest. Hardcore Slipknot fans will tell you this was their best album, but its not for everyone.
Yes I've heard that but I just don't see it. Left Behind is awesome but the rest is kind of monotonous to me. I think their first album is best.
Truely a great progressive rock mostly instrumental! A classic.
Not quite the metal sound however.
"Turn the level knob up enough so that the volume sounds the same whether the pedal is on or off. This is called "unity" gain and you are now at a neutral position to start tweaking your tone. Turn the gain/drive/distortion knob up until it sounds "metal" enough for you."

I suppose this song gets pretty close to some early punk rock metal! If so, it will be in my Top 10.
Here is the Van Halen version
This one from VH is better because it includes some more of his "eruption" solo, and in a better quality.

This seems like a thread where people are posting their favorite songs and not really the best Metal song or the list would look like this:
1) Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath (Dio on vocals)
2) Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
3) Cemetery Gates - Pantera

A few lesser known songs from popular artists that I've always felt are metal as hell. Not the best message if you are a believer. Pantera gets my vote for best metal band of all time. Good mix of tough sounds with tough vocals. not a big fan of cowboys from hell though. sounds like they were trying to bring the hair metal crowd into a tougher sound. never been a fan of noodley electric guitar solos and high pitched vocals in metal (for the most part).

I saw someone post about Suicidal Tendencies, I totally forgot about them. I still have the Lights, Camera, Revolution cassette.
