  1. Purple: Highway Star, Space Truckin’, especially My Woman in Tokyo (live version)

    Rainbow: Man on Silver Mountain, Since You’ve Been Gone (okay, a little poppy but great guitar)

    How about Hendrix and Zep? Come on, if you make a list, you owe us a better effort

  2. Man on a Silver Mountain! I forgot that one! Hendrix, Zep, KISS, Aerosmith coming right up as well 🙂

  4. That’s a brutal list dude! If I was compiling my favorite songs of the moment, my list would change considerably too though 🙂

  5. Maybe this goes to how old I am but I have never heard a single song by any of the bands on Chris’s list and I’ve only read the word Slayer before! Damn.

    Hey, at least there’s a new Springsteen release in 38 days!

  6. The amazing thing is some of those bands are really old Bill. Venom in particular is one of the originators of an entire genre – death metal. Slayer is a Venom baby 🙂 Venom and Slayer definately deserve a place on my list. “War Enseamble” is amazing. But I really like “South of Heaven”. Whadda riff!

    Forget Cradle of Filth–From the Cradle to the Enslave, Once Upon Atrocity,

    Iron Maiden–The Clairvoyant, Two Minutes to Midnight
    The 69 Eyes (Helsinki, Finland)–Wasting the Dawn, Gothic Girl, Crashing High, Stigmata, Helsinki Vampires

  17. dream theater, probably one of the most talented bands of all time.. yeah thats right

    metal but really progressive

  18. Where the hell is VAN HALEN on that list??? That band kicks serious ass and Eddie is one of the best guitarists of the 80’s

  19. You guys are all mentioning the flavours of the month.

    Go to the start, and look forward. Who do you see standing tall? For more than 3 years?

    Iron Maiden
    Judas Priest
    Metallica
    Megadeth
    Iced Earth
    Alastis
    Ozzy Osbourne
    Slayer
    Led Zeppelin
    Stratovarius
    The Greatful Dead

    These are only a few, but I think I made my point.
    My addition to the “Greatest Metal Songs”?

    Only one I need to add : Judas Priest – The Rage.

    PS – Yes, I do own Rammstein and MuDvAyNe and Slipknot. They are good, but they didn’t help build the metal scene to what it is today, the merely helped to expand it a little.

  20. The greatest Metal song of all is HELL AWAITS by SLAYER other sick songs are

    Cannibal corpse- Hammer Smashed Face
    Six feet under- The day the dead Walked
    Slipknot- Wait and Bleed
    Dark Funeral- Arrival of satans empire
    Cralde of filth- Lord Abortion
    Gutted- Death before Dismember
    Iron Maiden- Hallow be thy name
    Possessed- The Exorcist
    Venom- Black Metal
    Sepultura- Roots Bloody Roots
    Sinister- Bastard Saints
    Carcass- Maggot Colony
    Cryptopsy- Slit Your Guts
    Sodom- Tapping The Vein

  21. duh, you guys are forgetting Barbie Girl by Aqua! Tisk tisk… I expected better from you people

  22. Midnight Train To Georgia – Gladys Night & The Pips
    Midnight At The Oasis – Maria Muldaur
    Walking After Midnight – Patsy Cline
    Moonlight Feels Right – Captain Hook
    I Love A Rainy Night – Eddie Rabitt
    Night Fever – Bee Gees
    All Night Long – Lionel Ritchie

    The darkest songs I have ever heard.

  23. True METAL songs:

    Black Sabbath – War Pigs
    Black Sabbath – Sweet Leaf
    Black Sabbath – Paranoid
    Judas Priest – Hellbent For Leather
    Judas Priest – Breaking The Law
    Judas Priest – You’ve Got Another Thing Coming
    Iron Maiden – Rime of The Ancient Mariner
    Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name
    Iron Maiden – The Trooper

    Thrash metal / Speed metal:

    Metallica – The Four Horsemen
    Metallica – Fight Fire With Fire
    Metallica – Master of Puppets
    Slayer – Angel of Death
    Slayer – South of Heaven
    Slayer – Seasons In the Abyss
    Megadeth – Peace Sells
    Megadeth – Holy Wars

    From here you can branch out again to death metal, thrash hybrids, and so on and so on…

    We all see things differently. Led Zeppelin was never “HEAVY METAL” imo. They were the lead in the path down “HARD ROCK” with some heavy blues riffs and rock arrangements. Bands like Guns ‘n’ Roses have Led Zep to thank.

    Black Sabbath imo was the FIRST true metal band. Of course you had more obscure bands like Diamond Head during the NWOBHM, but Iron Maiden and Priest were more visible.

    Keep in mind the original poster asked to list best heavy metal “SONGS” and once again I’m like many who have gone off on a tangent comparing bands and styles.

    In fact, most of the tunes listed here will suffice as great rock/metal tunes. Of course ymmv.

  24. What about Yngwie Malmsteen? Okay… so he’s “neoclassical”, but it’s innovative stuff. Besides, the guitar work kicks ASS!!

  25. AC/DC is the best metal band of all time!
    Hells Bells
    TNT
    Dirty Deeds
    Thunderstruck
    Shoot to Thrill
    Back in Black
    And my all time favorite song
    You Shook Me All Night Long

  26. AC/DC rocks
    Springsteen kicks ass

    and I don’t car what anyone says styx and boston are great bands

  27. hey dudes…appreciate most of the lists…but, heres my own collection..not includin’ metallica and the other old big guns coz thats understood..heres some slightly newer music..all those who think i rock, tell me:P
    startin with saliva..always, bleed for me, rest in pieces, lackluster, my goodbyes
    3 doors down: kryptonite, when im gone, here without you, duck and run
    and how about meatloaf’s “i wud do nething fer luv”???? whered that go?!! evanescence’s “bring me to life”..and “not enuff” by our lady peace..thats ok fer now…get these..ull love me fer life!

  28. One word, Dream Theater! They’re awesome.
    Erotomania, Fatal Tragedy, Strange Deja Vu, The Dance of Eternity… they’re all good.

    Old Metallica rules too.
    ( Kill Em All to and Justice for all )
    Harvester of Sorrow and The Four Horsemen

  29. There’s one songs that defines metal to the EXTREME. The name sounds and looks as if it some big p***y song but trust me, download this one and there’ll be months of headbanging and moshing in your own pad.

    LESLIE GORE – SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS & RAINBOWS

    Peace out.

  30. Metal is serious and grave. Why not put up Metallica

    Carpe Diem Baby – Reload
    Where The Wild Things Are – Reload
    Devil’s Dance – Reload
    King Nothing – Load
    Outlaw Torn – Load
    The House Jack Built – Load

  31. I think the 3 best metal bands are from Europe:
    In Flames, Stratovarius and Children of Bodom. The song Clayman from In Flames is the metal song of the past 10 years. And Speed Of light of Stratovarius seriously kicks ass !

  55. All the bands here look good, everyone…but if I may recommend something to you all. If you want a metal album as epic as the greatest story ever told (whatever it may be), and a metal album that will entice you and chill you from beginning to end, please make it a point to purchase Blind Guardian’s “Somewhere Far Beyond”. This album has been nothing but a blessing to me.

  56. God im glad that im not alone…..there is so much shtty music now, shit i dont listen to the radio unless its playing some old thrash (haha slim chance in hell)….and im glad i dont have Satellite anymore or id be exposed to even more crap. actually that show URANIUM, has some pretty good shit sometimes. anyway…..thse bands nowadays, nothing but a bunch of chumps….no concept of music. what the fuck happened to the solo? I truly believe the last guitarist to stick true to his roots is Dimebag Darrell…..fuck nu-metal, ska, punk, hardcore, and all that other shit. Im sorry to break it to you, but uhm….haha, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Evanescence, and the other bands already listed….well, THEY ARENT METAL!!!!!!evanescence is some new wave shit. Led Zeppelin is Hard Rock…I listen to a little Led, and to some Nirvana, but if i hear someone call them metal, im going to hurt you….serously, get a clue.

  72. One band that seemed to get overlooked here, is Hammerfall. I recently got hooked on these guys. While the bands mentioned so far are great, Hammerfall is worthy of inclusion to this list.

  73. hellz no this is the list

    slipknot- the heretic anthem
    slipknot- spit it out
    slipknot- wait and bleed
    slipknot- interlopers
    hell anything by slipknot and linkin park

  74. im a slipknot and linkin park fanatic and u people dont no metal that much c’mon lets get some new aged bands in here like disturbed, slipknot, korn, and u people overlooked black sabbath they have hits like paranoid and children of the grave some of the bands u mentioned i never even new existed!!!

  75. slipknot and korn can get stuffed, thats not metal man thats crap. Definately more roses is needed man, deep purple too.

  76. its is so fuckin surprising that only one of u mentioned “Manowar” hell n wuz that poo pie talkin bout n’sync. Ozzy is the king of metal he’s god for the rest off all metalheads n the bands

  77. What The Fuck Is Wrong with you people? Yeah you got some pretty good songs there but holy fuck people PANTERA!!! PANTERA PANTERA PANTERA!!! There one of the best fuckin Metal bands ever… WALK, COWBOYS FROM HELL, FUCKIN HOSTILE.. Fuck yeah.. they kick ass man

  78. IRON MAIDEN DOESNT GET ENOUGH CREDIT HERE, yea maybe a few songs u’d list here or there but thats all their hits, when u get into the real maiden then ur a real metal fan
    Lord of the Flies
    Montsegur
    The Prisoner
    Phantom of the Opera
    Strange World
    Invaders
    Killers
    Murders in the Rue Morgue
    Moonchild
    Sanctuary
    Out of the Silent Planet
    AND MANY MORE
    of course i am not to forget the hits such as the trooper, notb, aces high…things like that are just amazing too

  79. cant wait til slipknot fades…see when u use a double bass trigger and incomprehensible guitar riffs, yea its brutal but its not as strong as the true metal like metallica maiden pantera and the rest of the crew. slipknot is just easy to pick out from a crowd, too bad no one can understand their music, o and those people who say they can are lying, they just want to seem tough because they listen to retarded music played by pussies in masks and jumpsuits

  80. I can’t believe more people aren’t mentioning Slayer, the best Speed Metal band of all time.

    Best Slayer songs:
    Angel of Death
    Postmortem
    Raining Blood
    Seasons in the Abyss
    South of Heaven
    Dead Skin Mask
    Die By The Sword
    Show No Mercy

    of course almost all Slayer songs are good except for ones after Decade of Aggresion.

  81. POOOOOOOOO POOOOOOOOOO! I FLING MY POO. POOP POOP POOP POOP POOP IS A FUNNY WORD. POOP IS A GREAT WORD. IF I HAD A BAND I’D NAME IT POOP. I’D PLAY SONGS LIKE DOWN WITH THE POOPINESS, DOWN IN A POOPHOLE, AND POOP AND MASH POTATOS. NEXT TIME YOUR HAPPY, SAY POOP. IF YOUR SAD SAY POOP, IF MAD SAY POOP AND IF SURPRISED SAY POOP, TOO. IN FACT EVERYONE SHOULD SAY POOP MORE OFTEN. SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD. POOP!!!

  82. The best metal bands are:
    1. Megadeth
    2. Metallica
    3. Slayer
    4. Death
    5. Black Sabbath
    6. Ozzy
    7. Pantera
    8. Black Label Society
    9. Napalm Death
    10. In Flames

  83. Skid Row, Thin Lizzie, Slade, Warrent, DAD, And Van Halen should all get a mention. But my I think Ozzy tops the lot.

    1.Rammstein
    2.In Flames

    Ugly Kid Joe – Tomorrow’s World
    Get out of your easy chair….
    Korn – Hollow Life
    It’s not just you who suffers….
    Oomph! – Das Weisse Licht
    Some things will never be explained….
    UltraVox – Vienna
    Nothing Matters….

  86. NU METAL CAN SUCK MY COCK !
    the best metal is METALLICA SABBATH MEGADETH MAIDEN 70’s 80’s and early 90’s ……….. how can u call nu metal metal when theres no soloz ??? bullshit

    compare any new metal song with MEGADETH – SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION And METALLICA – FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS or METALLICA – ORION and ull see what real METAL is

  87. first of all…WTF is rammstein and saliva and disturbed doing on this list…they are garbage (and definitely not metal)…they all suck too.

    secondly, it took way to long for anyone to mention led zeppelin.

    and last, what about dream theater?…better musicians than most of these bands put together…and if you disagree, you have no clue what the hell good music is…metal or not.

  88. I wish I had never seen Simple Plan on this page… especially not with Blink and Good Charlotte. WTF?

    Ok 3 doors down isn’t metal, it’s not even punk, it is pop rock with little grunge influence but it is NEVER going to be metal. Neither does Nirvana who everybody knows is definetly grunge.

    My fav. metal band definetly is Children of Bodom. Songs Lake Bodom, Downfall, Everytime I die, You’re better off dead… and I guess Metallica isn’t bad, the first albums were real good (kill em all was their best, along with master of puppet, Seek and Destroy being my fav. song intro). Plus I want to add that Manson’s music is NOT really good metal, it’s just commercial stuff. And Rammstein isn’t such a good metal band after all. Slayer got pretty good solos (though really chaotic), and I want to add that yes, Led Zeppelin defined the name (and forged it) Heavy Metal. Yes, like punk, and sadly, rap, it has evolved. Maybe not always for the better (like these 2 examples) but it has evolved. You know Grindcore is an evolution of punk music? It must of walked a long road (and litterally forgot how to use a guitar) from the Sex Pistols to Fuck I’m Dead and Captain Cleanoff, but it shows how music can dramatically change. So yeah, Led Zeppelin was metal. It does not meet recent criterias for metal music, but it was metal when it came out. Music is like drugs: when you take your first puff, you might get high right there (depends on the person and the quality), but slowly people (no matter who) get a better tolerance for the drug and the puff you took years ago wouldn’t even have an effect on you after years of intense use. Like people thought the Beatles were rebel when they started, today, no one would complain about it if it was aired, except to say that it is lame and boring.

    I wouldn’t qualify slipknot of being a metal band. More of a noize army. A band of 20 people isn’t a band anymore, it’s an orchestra, but an orchestra is supposed to be harmonic, or melodic, or both. And Slipknot isn’t really, more of a circus than anything else.

  89. No, of course Led Zeppelin was not metal, maybe heavy metal along with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – 2 bands also soaked in blues. But Led Zeppelin lit the first torch. Ask your mummies and daddies to play you mid-to-late 60s music. You’ll hate it. Then buy Led Zeppelin Remasters and listen to “Dazed and Confused” recorded in 1969 and listen especially to this section: min. 3.27 – min. 4.46. With that said, they did nothing else after that as they went softer and more mellow.

    Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, In Flames, Opeth, Blind Guardian, Kreator, Carcass, Sodom, Pantera, and (when the fire still burned inside them), Metallica (1983-1991).

  90. If you are going to have a greatist “METAL SONGS” list, you have to first know the difference between “METAL” and “HARD ROCK.” But eather way,you can’t have a greatist metal list without “JUDAS PRIEST” especially “LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT.” With that said, it,s still a great list. Good job!

  91. FUCK ALL OF YOU THAT SAY THAT THE NEW-METALLICA SUCKS!!! I admit that load and reload aren’t nearly as good as for example master and lightning. But theyr’e still good albums. And St. Anger is GREAT!!
    And then how can anyone say that Led Zeppelin is not a real metal band?!?? They’re 100 % metal. Stairway to heave is one of the greatest metal songs of all time.
    And Nirvana, one of the greatest bands ever. Kurt Cobain is a fucking legend.
    You wanna know what kind of metal sucks ass… well of course all nu-metal bands, not to speak of death metal.. Slipkont sucks ass!! And of course dimmu borgir, cradle of filth…and so on… Slayer’s music is pretty good until their singer opens his fucking mouth…and only crap comes out.

  92. Bring me to life- Evanescence
    Sunrise- New Order
    Highway song- Blackfoot

    Metal Island Music

  93. First of all, I pity the fools who call Marylin Manson, Evanescence, Slipknot, and Warrant metal (not that I don’t like Warrant. quite the opposite actually.) Second of all:

    Cannibal Corpse
    Slayer
    Samael
    Children of Bodom
    Dimmu Borgir
    Anateus
    Iron Maiden
    Darkthrone
    Opeth

    are all kickass awesome. I also wanna put Soundgarden on that list, since their early stuff is quite metalish. Megadeth is okay. The rest everyone else has mentioned 5 billion times and you certainly don’t want to hear me talk about them too.

  94. slayer-seasons in the abyss…megadeth-hook in mouth…metallica-for whom the bell tolls…judas priest-the rage…iron maiden-holy smokes,wasted years…black sabbath-megalomania,the writ,snowblind,the thrill of it all…and of course Quiet Riot-Bang Your Head…………………………………………………………………………………….nuff said

  99. Metal is simply what I call the art of playing good music that puts you in the atmosphere of the song. I don’t consider Linkin Park and all nu-metal bands as playing real music. Looks like rap or hip hop but with power chords on guitar. There is not even just a little solo! it’s what gives the color to a song! Sorry for people who like this, but you’ve gotta wake up!!

  105. Ok, One guy mentioned Opeth . . . AS FOR THE REST OF YOU FUCK HEADS, YOU MAY BURN ETERNALLY. SO HERE IS MY LIST OF GREAT METAL FOR YOU FAGGOTS:

    1)OPETH EVERYTHING

  106. Enter Sandman would have been better if Jason Newstead got a say in the writting! Fuck the new bass player . . .

  107. It is so amusing how all the older metal heads or ones that are specifically into old metal are so scared of up and coming bands. I myself am a huge fan of classic metal, but one has to notice the amount of bands that have been around the past 6 years that are just starting to get the attention they deserve. Bands such as Soilwork, In Flames, and yes look out world, Australian metal is on the rise: Daysend, Frankenbok, Psi-Kore are going to kick ass! And I do agree that Opeth rule, and the epic “The Drapery Falls” should be an inclusion in the list.

    wherever i may roam
    nothing else matters
    until it sleeps
    outlaw torn
    fuel
    the memory remains
    no leaf clover
    st.anger
    invisible kid
    the unnamed feeling

    iron maiden-

    run for the hills
    hallowed be thy name

    ac/dc-

    hells bells
    back in black
    thunderstruck

    guns ‘n roses-

    welcome to the jungle
    knocking on heavens door

    sublime-

    date rape
    smoked two joints

    rush-

    closer to the heart
    tom sawyer

  123. Joanne I’d just like to say a few words about your definition of “new breed shit”. Now in your comment you said that your list is “proper music”. Now I have to give it to you, almost all the bands in your list are good, brilliant infact. But with your grouping of Slipknot with the likes of White Stripes and Sum 41, calling them not proper music, and including Drowning Pool and Soil in your list it is fair to say that you have little or no idea what you are talking about.

  124. This is a list of “proper” and great bands:
    Slipknot
    Cradle Of Filth
    Dimmu Borgir
    Arch Enemy
    Devolved (Australian)
    Mudvayne
    Killswitch Engage
    The Haunted
    Slayer
    Metallica
    Fear Factory
    Korn
    Sepultura
    Hatebreed
    AC/DC
    Pantera
    Black Sabbath
    Iron Maiden
    In Flames
    Soilwork
    Nevermore
    American Head Charge
    Rammstein
    Skinlab

  125. Here is a short list of songs and musics that every guitar player have to hear:

    Emerald-Thin Lizzy (my favorite song from this band)
    Beat it-Michael Jackson (the solo)
    Hallowed by the Name-Iron Maiden
    The Trooper-Iron Maiden
    Child in Time-Deep Purple (love that song)
    Highway Star-Deep Purple
    Blue-Yngwie Malmsteen (extremely beautiful to hear)

    There’s a lot of other good song, but I wrote those ones cause i’m workin’on them and that long lists are too boring.

  135. Hey guys!! You’ve got to make the difference between Metal, New Metal and Black or Death Metal!!!!
    I play guitar, so I do listen and play many different kinds of music, maybe I’m not the perfect person to say something about metal but I’m shocked, theres not a lot of people that see the differences between each and every kind of metal music you’ve just talked about.

    Mily

  136. alot of you ppl have mentioned bands like blink 182, sum 41, n load of other shite nu-metal bands, and you continue to mention these bands and commend them as if theyre better than the likes of KISS, guns n’ roses, aerosmith, black sabbath, rolling stones, and alice cooper and loads of other revolutionary bands that have influenced probably 90% of thses pathetic nu-metal bands. you should have at least one KISS song in all thses lists, after all, hardly any bands have the title of ‘the hottest band in the world’ and can live up to that title. and theyre also the number 1 gold record champions of all time. all u nu-mwetal fanatics should listen to songs such as rock n roll all night, god gave rock n roll to you, unholy, i pledge allegience to the state of rock n roll, detroit rock city, god of thunder, shout it out loud, creatures of the night, domino, strutter, deuce, psycho circus, i love it loud, love gun, cold gin, war machine, an dractically every other KISS song.

  166. All the obvious ones that are household names but I’m suprised how few Scorpian fans there are. Dynamite, Blackout etc are some of the best damned metal songs ever made period!

  167. I must say that garageinc2 has the best taste.
    in the end to all nightwish and blind guardian are the best to my taste. Hail to the bards of metal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  168. I would vote for Grim Reaper’s See you in hell as coolest song ever, then every thing by Pink floyd and Kurt Kobaine.
    I am a genius.

  169. Maybe there are a lot of people who will find my choice far too commercial. But I will give you my personal top 20. Not all really Heavy Metal, but the best of metal and fine hard rock:
    1 Sepultura – Ratamahatta
    2 Guano Apes – Open your eyes
    3 Rammstein – Feuer frei
    4 Alien Ant Farm – Smooth Criminal
    5 Metallica – The struggle within
    6 Linkin Park – Numb
    7 Linkin Park – In the end
    8 Hoobastank – Crawling in the dark
    9 Calibre – Calibre (Belgian real good metal)
    10 Senser – Age of panic
    11 Machine Head – Message in a bottle
    12 AC/DC – Thunderstruck
    13 Ill Nino – What comes around
    14 Bodycount – Born dead
    15 POD – Alive
    16 Limp Bizkit – Nookie
    17 System of a down – Chop suey
    18 Slipknot – Wait and bleed
    19 Guano Apes – Lords of the boards
    20 you can fill in this number yourself

  170. Well Piedjay how very confused you are. Sure this is a discussion of the greatest metal songs of all time, and only metal songs should be included. But alas, the differences between hard rock and metal are sometimes non-existent. Thus, bands that some classify as metal, but others as hard rock, are included. Quite fair, and hold a genuine place in the discussion. However, your so called “fine hard rock” is beyond this and is an insult to this site. Alien Ant Farm? Linkin Park? Hoobastank? POD? And the greatest profanity in the English language, Limp Bizkit? Do not get me wrong, some of the aformentioned bands have some quality songs, but none that I would classify as metal or even hard rock.

    Limp Bizkit do suck ass though.

  171. So far garageinc2 has had the most accurate and broad view of some of the greatest metal songs ever. I have to give you two thumbs up for the Speed of Light mention. Awesome song. If we are talking Stratovarius, I would put that and Black Diamond as their greatest songs.

  172. Metallica is the greatest heavy metal band ever.

    Top 5 Metallica Songs

    1.Fade to black
    2.Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
    3.ONE
    4.For Whom The Bell Tolls
    5.Master of Puppets.

    If you have any others you want on the list contact me at edwards4106@sbcglobal.net

  173. Don Dokken and AC/DC are the best metal of all time i dont know one bad AC/DC song my other favorites are

    Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar On Me

    Megadeth – every song

    Iron Maiden – Prodigal son

    Iron Maiden – killers

    Black Sabbath – crazy Train

    Van Halen – Right Here, Right Now

    Judas Priest – Painkiller

    Don Dokken – Every Song He ever Made

  174. Megadeth – Holy Wars…… The Punishment Due

    Alice In Chains – Them Bones
    Black Sabbath – Heaven And Hell
    Motley Crue – Dr. Feelgood
    Deep Purple – Burn
    Slipknot – Duality
    Pantera – Hollow

  175. My personal faves are

    Disturbed- down with the sickness

    foriegner- hot blooded

    Def leopard- pour some sugar on me

    Rob Zombie- living dead girl

    Guns n roses- knocking on heavens door

    meatloaf- let me sleep on it

    Drowning pool- bodies

    system of a down- I-E-A-I-A-I-O

    Chevelle- closure

    cold- stupid girl (there is a great story behind that one)

    metallica- trapped under ice

    12 stones- broken

    pantera- this love

    aerosmith- walk this way

    poison- talk dirty to me

  176. OK…so a few people put new metallica up as “greatest metal songs”… from black album on, they weren’t even metal man. what is this wolrd coming to? new metallica is shit. the first four albums kicked everyone’s ass eighteen times at least. shit man. i cry to even think anyone thinks there new stuff is metal.

    and as for zeppelin, which i see many many times on this list: THEY ARE NOT METAL. i love zeppelin, but they aren’t even generally considered hard rock. they paved the way, but black sabbath is widely considered the birth of hard rock/heavy metal because of their dropped key in the guitar riffs. the reason for a dropped key? some of dio’s fingertips were cut off (i can’t remember the exact reason, how many, etc. – somebody help me out with this), so he had to drop down the key to be able to play fast.

    anyway…i’m lovin the classic metalheads i see postin here
    maiden, priest, metallica (OLD SCHOOL!), etc.
    bloody genius chaps

  177. Motorhead – Ace of Spades
    Whitesnake – Here i go again
    Staind – Outside (acoustic)
    Lenny Kravitz – Fly Away
    Black Sabbath – Paranoid
    Guns n roses – welcome to the jungle
    Guns n roses – sweet child o mine
    Steppenwolf – born to be wild
    Puddle of Mudd – Blurry
    Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Scar Tissue
    Red hot chilli peppers – californication

  180. For all the people that are listeing Nirvana,Zeppelin,Kiss,Guns n roses……i thought this was the greatist meatal songs of all time not the greatist rock songs of all time!?!?
    Here are some of my favorite **METAL*** SONGS!
    1.Pantera-Revolution is my name
    2.Pantera-This Love
    3.Pantera-Mouth for war
    4.Pantera-Drag The Waters
    5.Pantera-Message in blood
    6.Metallica-And Justice For All
    7.Metallica-Seek And Destroy
    8.Metallica-Blackened
    9.Metallica-One
    10.Metallica-For Whom the bell tolls
    11.Pantera-Immortaly Insane
    12.Metallica-The thing that should not be

  181. Ladies and Gentlemen ((though I suspect this is generally just gentlemen),

    Nirvana – no, they weren’t metal, but let’s face it, what they did was change the face of metal if not for all time then for a decade at least. Don’t bitch on them, they rock, no question, they don’t use what we’d all call classic metal beats and they don’t widdle out like Satriani, but you can’t diss them for clearing out a lot of the dross. Believe, if it wasn’t for Nirvana’s breakthrough you’d still be suffering huge doses of hair metal with your MTV and rock radio. So, if you don’t like them give them the respect they are due.

    Nu Metal – Yeah it’s new, so what are you doing trying to include lists of nu-metal only bands in a ‘greatest metal of all time’ list? I suspect those who have listed these bands haven’t been buying records for very long, certainly not for more than ten years. Give it time huh, maybe in ten years time you’ll still think they’re classic. Maybe you’ll think a lot of it is dated shite…

    Metallica – Sorry, I was there, by the time they’d delivered the black album they’d gone off. Remember, this was a band who once claimed they were thrash metal, then backtracked a few years later and claimed they’d never said that and that they were a metal band, and then went on to later say they’d never even said that and that they were a rock band! Jesus, get it right. Besides, you can’t forgive a man who used to be heavily into tape trading (ah, old boys, remember the days of trading tapes with like minded metal heads around the world?) suing music fans for downloading thei music. As if downloading isn’t another way of taping off the radio or swapping tapes with mates! Anyway, the point is, Metallica died afrer And Justice For All.

    Finally Metal. What is metal, what isn’t metal, take it from someone who learned the hard way, don’t close your mind to music, any music, at all. YOu might not like one band, but that doesn’t mean you should dismiss the entire scene. For example, is it a sin to like 50 Cent and Gorgoth? Is it wrong to listen to Pink Floyd and then stick on some Carnivore? Should I throw away all the funk and soul I have because it’s not metal? Have I sold out? To who? The man? What are you on? Tell you what, come back here after 20 years of metal record buying and then tell me I can’t listen to this or that coz it’s not proper music. Dumb dumb people.

  182. Turisas – battle one more

    Turisas – land of hope and glory

    Einherjer – crimson rain

    Ensiferum – Guardians of faith

    Korpiklaani – journey man

    Korpiklaani – hunting song (video out somewhere)

    Mithotyn – Lord of Ironhead

    Falkenbach – When gjallarhorn will sound

    Thyrfing – going berserk

    Amon amarth – death in fire

    Finntroll – trollhamern (video out somewhere)

    to name a few viking/pagan/folk metal songs go check em out and be enlightened!

    and offcourse good old slayer, priest, tallica etc.

  183. There’s many kinds of metal, but they are all METAL. Meaning it’s not just Zepplin or not just Metallica or Slipknot. It’s all of them! Jeez. I’ve seen so many people just whining that they’re metal is ryte and everyone elses isn’t. IT’S STILL METAL!

  185. 6 letters
    R A C E R X.

    best band ever. Paul gilbert rulllles.
    metallica, pantera, slayer, iron maiden, children of bodom, dream evil, dream theatre, yngwie malmsteen, AND DONT FORGET MICHEAL ANGELO, HE RULES AND IS THE BEST SHREDDER EVER.

  186. can anyone tell me the name of the song :
    ” I am the way
    I am the light
    I am the dark inside the night ” ?

  187. I’d really appreciate that someone submit The calling By Leatherwolf lyrics, because I haven’t find them any where and there are some expressions I just can’t understand. Could anyone help me with that?, please. I thank you in advance.

  188. For Cuzco.
    As far as I know the name of the song is “Alone you breath” by Savatage from the album “Handful of rain”, 1994. Hope it helps.

  189. Well folks, it certainly has been a while since I last checked this list. I notice that there has been not much added, however, there have been some very honorable mentions. Well I’m just going to put forth a few songs that I have discovered since I was last here that may or may not “deserve” a place. I think that they are great songs though. I will also put some others here that I see fit.

    Devolved – Fallen Cities
    Mayhem – De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
    Dark Tranquillity – Insanity’s Crescendo
    Sonata Arctica – Wolf And Raven
    Lordi – Blood Red Sandman
    Kamelot – The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)
    Dragonforce – Fields Of Despair
    Rhapsody – Agony Is My Name
    Dark Tranquillity – Lost To Apathy
    Opeth – Deliverance
    My Dying Bride – The Prize of Beauty
    Hammerfall – Dreams Come True
    Opeth – Benighted
    Cradle Of Filth – Cradle To Enslave
    Type O Negative – Bloody Kisses (A Death In The Family)
    After Forever – Beautiful Emptiness
    Dream Theater – Stream Of Conciousness
    In Flames – Jotun
    Soilwork – Sadistic Lullaby
    Opeth – The Night And The Silent Water

    Well there is some. I welcome all comments.

  190. How about some old Scorpions? You only mentioned one Rainbow song. What about “Rainbow In The Dark”? I think that song kicks ass! How about “I Want Out” by Helloween? I like some of the nu-metal, but I absolutely love 80’s metal!!! Nobody really plays that kind of music anymore, and that is a shame. 80’s metal totally kicked ass! Now that was music!

  191. Gee,let me see what is missing here. How about one of the fore-fathers of Metal. That would be Blue Oyster Cult. Are you kidding me. They created a completely new vein of Metal. Not to mention putting American Metal on the map. Most of the today bands listed (slipknot,Korn)and the like are more skater punk from the likes of Black Flag and the Misfits. Than from metal roots of Sabbath and B.O.C

  192. Dying Fetus-One Shot, One Kill
    Cannibal Corpse-Hammer Smash Face
    Suffocation-Funeral Inception
    Cephalic Carnage-Lucid Interval
    Exhumed-In My Inhuman Slaughterhouse

  193. I must say this is an admirable list of Musak so far. I like:

    Curve: ‘Chinese Burn’ (lunatic calm remix best IMO)
    Judas Priest: ‘Excitor’
    The Cult: ‘She Sells Sanctuary’
    Laibach: ‘Sympathy for the Devil’
    Blondie: ‘Detroit 442’ or ‘Rip Her To Shreds’
    —these are just for starters,

    oh, and look up the band Quagmire.

    K (interesting site here)

  194. Metallica and Slayer own all. And Leper Messiah only got one mention?! It kicks ass. As does Enter Sandman.

  195. I think When Worlds Collide-Powerman 5000 and Let The Bodies Hit The Floor-Drowning Pool rock as far as the songs, but admittedly neither band has had any other good ones.

  196. Way to throw in a huge varity. And even being the huge classic rock fan i am, i dont like kiss and they dont have any talent what so ever.

    Try throwing in more bands then just 2 or 3. Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and Black Sabbath rock, but what about bands like Scorpions and Tesla? + I cant believe you actually only put AC/DC songs from Back in Black and Highway to Hell. If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap are much better in my opinion.

  197. Where the fuck is tool in all this they are the best creative metal band of all time they are unlike any band that came before them they are uniquely beautiful..

    FUCKIN ROCK ON

  198. soilwork – A Predator’s Portrait
    Dimmu Borgir – Puritania
    Within Temptation – The Dance
    CARCASS – Go to Hell
    Cradle Of Filth – Her Ghost In The Fog
    Cradle Of Filth – Nymphetamine
    Cradle Of Filth – From The Cradle To Enslave
    Poison the Well – Torn
    Tristania – Beyond the Veil
    Lamb Of God – Black Label
    Papa Roach – Getting Away With Murder
    Sepultura – Attitude
    Sepultura – Territory
    Children Of Bodom – Everytime I Die

  199. hey guys why are you mentioning all this gay metal songs like metallica and judas preist thats just to soft for me i like hardcore stuff like aaron carter and britney spears oh and that really crazy shit NSYCN

  200. Hey Rock Lovers what is happening in the house i have been downloading porn you should check it out it smokes the shit out of gay metal, but i suppose you anal rimming rockers love jerking off to metallica and judas priest but i prefer porn so seeya

  201. new metalica can go fuck themselves them sell out fucking wanks. Old metalica fucking rocks. WTF nirvana? that lil bitch couldnt take it so he blew his head off. fuck rap, fuck pop, fuck main stream. papa roach can go suck a dick too. CKY they suck cock, H.I.M. sucks CKYs cock.

  203. Hey Preston you fucking cocksucker i think your the one that sucks your own cock and CKY and HIM are fucken awesome so go fuck yourself you faggot

  204. hey guys, I got to say the list is for sure incomplete. But I think it should be kept to more classic metal. If you bring newer bands and recent rock, it goes into death metal, and the list will become convaluted and crappy.

    Anyways, I see you have black sabbath, but what about the song, Black Sabbath by them. That is the original metal song. Not Satisfaction.

  205. huh and what about helloween? someone already mentioned them… i think they play good metal so why not them?

  206. THE BEST METAL BAND IN THE FUCKIN WORLD IS AS I LAY DYING IF YOU LIKE INSANE CRAZY GUITAR RIFFS LOTS OF YELLIN DOWNLOAD ELEGY-AS I LAY DYING AND 94 HOURS-AS I LAY DYING AND THE BEGINNING-AS I LAY DYING

    Sanitarium,
    The Unforgiven,
    Damage Inc.
    Seek and Destroy,
    Metal Militia,
    Creeping Death,
    Battery,
    Whiplash,
    any song before the mid-90s.

    Them Bones,
    Sea of Sorrow,
    Would?,
    No Excuses,
    Down In A Hole,

    Iron Maiden:
    Two Minutes to Midnight,
    Run to the Hills,
    Number of the Beast,
    The Evil that Men Do.

    Led Zepplin:
    Achilles Last Stand,
    Battle of Evermore,
    Houses of the Holy,
    Kashmir,
    Stairway To Heaven,
    Rock and Roll,
    Ten Years Come,

    Soundgarden:
    Get On The Snake,
    Nothing To Say,
    Flower,
    Loud Love,
    Black Hole Sun,
    Fell On Black Days.

    Some other noteworthy songs:
    Peace Sells-Megadeth
    Raining Blood-Slayer=soundtrack of hell
    so many more I’d list….

    one song that nobody ever seemed to mention was Disposable Heroes by Metallica. Personally it is my favorite. Why? I find Disposable Heroes (DH) to be as intense and hardcore as Master of Puppets(MoP). Much like MoP, DH has a very hard hitting intro and that makes you go holy shit! Another thing that makes me love it so much is the kick-ass chorus which similiarily to MoP has 3 parts to it. The first time I heard DH I thought, man this is one fuckin hardcore ass kickin song. When you thought the chorus would end, it would just continue to drive you deeper into the onslaught on metal mania, then came that amazing solo. I tend to liken Disposable Heroes to that of a journey. With that one high point in the solo as the apex or “climax” of the story. Whoever said metal is for idiots made by idiots is a fuckin idiot themselves. The way DH and MoP where written and made makes them seem as if they where 2 songs made to compliment each other and be the high points of the Master Of Puppets album.

    it’s to bad metal these days suck’s so much ass.
    oh, and punk sucks ass too you faggy ass good charlotte, green day, blink 182 loving pussies.

  213. Some of the best metal is definitly out of the eighties. But some of the 90’s and new millenium stuff is amazing. There are so many different types now, compared to the old days.
    Death, Melodic death, goth, nu-metal, thrash, progressive, symphonic, doom, industrial, black etc. These are my favorites of each, I would name my favorite songs, but it takes too long. I like to put my favorite songs from each category onto seperate cds.

    twisted sister
    tesla
    skid row
    just to name a few.

    There is actually a lot of good songs from these hair metal bands. Could be a fun, if not heavy, cd to make. I definitely prefer the heavier shit, especially Nile, In Flames, Old Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Fear Factory.

  214. newly converted metal fanboy here..thx to your help ive made a CD compiling the best of metal, id like to make a vol 2 but havin trouble finding more songs..any recommendations

    3 Inches of Blood
    Athiest
    Demilich
    Gorguts
    Therion(earlier stuff kicked ass)
    Ildjarn

    There’s probably plenty more, but those are the only ones that came to mind right away.

  216. Slipknot is a peice of shit band that cant play for shit so they have to play the same shitty powerchords over and over again while screaming into the microphone and singing the shittest lyrics ever thought of so all you wankers that bone slipknot why dont you just die, and maybee you should start listening to proper bands for example.

    metallica,

    megadeth,

    iron maiden,

    judas preist,

    slayer,

    anthrax,

    Black sabbath,

    Peer gúnt,

    Diamond head, and

    saxon

  217. if anyone wants to no a awesome drum to guitar intro listen to juads preist, painkiller its fucken good and if you want to turn gay and start sucking your mates cock listen to slipknot,korn,linkin park,marylin manson and all those other peace of shit pack of freckle punching faggots that try to call them self a band.
    ps.i have a huge cock

  218. who tha fuk is Peer gúnt, i heard of slipknot and they arent crap, go tha metallica & zepplin

  219. oooh u dis linkin park, u die a fiery death….no one ever can dis one of tha most influentual bands of today, u are just an idiot who has had a good life and nothing has eva gone wrong, Go Slipknot, Linkin Park, Evanescence and Disturbed

  220. \Music is subjective;
    \\Listen to what you like
    \\\Elton John and many other bands listed ARE NOT METAL!!!
    \\\\Old Metallica is the shit. If you don’t think so it’s probably because you weren’t alive or into metal yet
    \\\\\Slashes are the new hawtness

  221. Onto my favourite bands. (Won’t list individual songs) In NO particular order

    Metallica
    Megadeth
    Slayer
    Iron Maiden
    Judas Priest
    In Flames
    Cradle Of Filth
    Children Of Bodom
    Dark Tranquility
    Rammstein
    Soilwork
    Stratovarius
    At The Gates
    Iced Earth
    King Diamond
    Merciful Fate
    Rhapsody
    Manowar
    Sepultura
    Anthrax

    There’s more, but lots I consider Rock/Hard Rock bands now Like ACDC, WASP, Cinderella, Poison, Black Sabbath, most of your 80’s/90’s radio rock actually. Not metal in my opinion.

    /peace

  222. hair of the dog – nazareth – wasn’t mentioned here – it is one of the best – can’t believe more people don’t realize this – it has it all ; probably better than Zeppelin’s Black Dog – listened to them back to back – Nazareth’s Hair of the Dog came out on top believe it or not; it simply is one of the greatest heavy metal songs of them all and never seems to get recognized for the outrageous beauty it IS – it’s very hard to BEAT.

  223. FIRST OF ALL JIMI HENDRIX,BOB DYLAN ROLLING STOUNES AND BLACK SABBATH ARE NOT METAL BANDS SO YOU ARE WRONG.
    Lemmy Kilmister is fucked up!

  224. ok we all know that nirvana is not metal, it is grunge. Hair metal just sucks. now a couple of these bands arent considered as “metal” but with the list some of you people got going would rip them apart.

    1. Trivium
    2. Slpiknot
    3. Mastodon
    4. It Dies Today

  237. Opeth listed 3 times ?
    Somethings not right. That or no ones heard of them.

    Opeth’s Black Rose Immortal is a masterpiece that transcends the metal genre. It’s the absolute peak of the metal genre along with The Drapery Falls, April Ethereal, When by Opeth and the album’s Focus by Cynic and Whoracle by In Flames. Although Whoracle is a lot more straight forward than the aforementioned

  238. man, what about opeth? the whole still life, morningrise, my arms, your hearse… Masterpieces!!!

  249. bands like megadeth should be known more for what they have acheieved in the metal world, megadeth don’t advertise themselves unlike metallica who don’t get me wrong are exellent but im just so pissed off that little people know of megadeth. You the man Dave keep the good stuff comin’ Deth to all!

  250. A few more songs that may deserve a mention:

    3 Inches Of Blood – Deadly Sinners
    My Dying Bride – My Wine In Silence
    Strapping Young Lad – Detox
    In Flames – Ordinary Story
    Opeth – Beneath The Mire
    Amon Amarth – Death In Fire
    The Sins Of Thy Beloved – Partial Insanity
    Dark Tranquillity – Therein
    Manowar – Brothers Of Metal Pt 1
    Carcass – Heartwork

  251. Listened to some Slayer thanks to this site. Thanks. “South of Heaven” has a really cool riff. To me heavy metal is primarily about the riff. That’s what makes Sabbath and Metallica so awesome. Obviously there are other factors in metal, but would anyone care to post the songs with their favourite riffs? I’ve yet to hear an album that tops “and justice for all” in this area. Every song has three or four riffs. Really great.

  252. iron maiden-the apparition
    iron maiden.-weekend warrior
    deep purple-perfect strangers
    whitesnake-still of the night.
    stratovarius-kill the king and bloodstone(cover)
    gamma ray-heavy metal universe.
    dream theater-the mirror
    dream theater-lie
    angra-carry on.
    land of free -gamma ray
    peace sells-megadeth
    symphony of destruction
    almost all judas priest songs are cool
    breaking the law,you’ve got another thing comin..living after midnight they rock!
    children is really good too,
    arch enemy-angelclaw
    stratovarius-speed of light
    anthems of the world
    hammerfall nice too

  253. the last 2 and half minutes of coma by guns n roses has to be one of the greatest ends to a song of all time

  254. Dragonforce
    Black Sabbath
    Behemoth
    Cryptopsy
    Jungle Rot
    Cephalic Carnage
    Asrai
    Fuck… I’m Dead (Grindcore)
    Slayer
    Arsis
    Machine Head
    Cripple Bastards
    Immolation

  255. Andrea. Downloaded Gamma Ray songs “heavy metal universe’ and ‘land of the free.’ Both have nice inflections. Thanks. Am in process of downloading those “dream theatre” songs.

    Your Mum. Downloaded Coma. The riff that runs through it is great. Need to listen to it a few more times (ten minutes of listening every time!!). I was expecting a more frenetic last two minutes (like “one” by metallica). Good stuff though. You recommend “nightwish.” Any songs in particular?

  256. wow. wtf is everybody on…
    priest fuckin kicks all…
    i am amazed.
    not to say any of the other bands arent awesome also, like OLD metallica, or maiden, or any other nwobhm but imho priest rocks.
    there are no mentions to any of these amazing songs:
    a touch of evil,
    diamonds and rust,
    freewheel burning,
    green manalishi,
    hellrider,
    ram it down,
    rock hard ride free,
    the sentinel,
    turbo lover,
    love bites…
    the list goes on and on and on…
    i think you get my point tho – priest is underrated and overlooked.
    thanks to all who mentioned priest in a good way, and to anybody who dissed them, everybody can have an opinion. except you so fuck off. just kiddin…
    i went to the priest concert last month… absolutely fuckin amazing concert with anthrax as special guest
    anyway guys… see ya’ll later ps how do you get text formatting… 😐

  257. Nemo was great! I’ll get hold of some other Nightwish. Of course, there are probably a lot of metalheads out there prejudiced against pianos and female vocals. . .

  258. monad, another good nightwih tune is nightquest, who gives a shit if there is a woman and a piano in a metal song. at the the end of the day a good songs a good song.

    good to see someone appreciates this talented band.

  259. your mum – ok I’m sold. Downloaded planet hell (brilliant) and angels fall first (not metal but who cares, like you say a good song is a good song).

    Sorry, didn’t get around to listening to coma again – I was too busy with nightwish.

  260. a few great metal guitar solos and riffs:

    megadeth – tornado of souls (epic, man).

    megadeth – symphony of destruction.

    megadeth – vortex.

    megadeth – polaris.

    children of bodom – bed of razors.

    children of bodom – silent night bodom night.

    children of bodom – mask of sanity.

    children of bodom – hate me.

    couldnt say enough about c o b. theyre getting some good press lately and theyre a great contemporary metal band. check them out because they have some really good songs and alexi laiho isnt afraid to use his guitar

  261. most of u r fucked up wat about PanterA i am 14 and as soon as i heard PanterA i knew they were the best power metal band in the world there music is a vulgar display of power vinnie paul and dimebag are the best music team in the world i play guitar and i know that dimebag is the best guitarist in the world there best songs are:

    PanterA:
    domination
    cowboys from hell
    psycho holiday
    heresy
    cemetery gates(great guitar and bass)
    shattered
    clash with reality
    the sleep
    the art of shredding
    mouth of war
    a new level
    walk
    fucking hostile
    this love
    hollow
    5 miutes alone
    i’m brocken
    planet caravan
    the great southern trendkill
    war nerve
    13 steps to nowhere(great progressive drumming)
    suicide note part. 1(great volcals)
    living through me
    floods(great guitar solo)
    the undergroung in america

    thease songs are from the albums (cowboys from hell(1990)vulgar diplay of power(1992)far deyond driven(1993) and the great southern trendkill(1996))PanterA is the best band in the world and will allways be.

    PanterA:(#1)
    Phillip Anselmo:voacals(#1)
    Dimebag Darrell:guitar(#1)
    Vinnie Paul:drums(#1)
    Rex:bass(#1)

    R.I.P Dimebag Darrell

  262. The humpty dance is your chance to do the hump!

    Ooops, this is the metal room:

    Okay…obviously the big four are metallica, megadeath, iron maiden, and judas priest…and i have been checking out a lot of these new bands that you mentioned- some good some unknown for a reason.

    Opeth- pretty different, but talented.
    Hammerfall- I dig it!
    Children of Bodom- I will be downloading more of these guys.
    Stratovarius- not bad
    Malmsteen- cool!
    Cannibal corpse- no way
    Morbid Angel- no talent
    Dragon force- what the fuck ever!

    I noticed nobody mentioned my favorite band…Hed PE- they arent quite metal but many of you guys got off topic here.

    Anyway, thanks for the new bands…be sure to check out JUDAS PRIEST if you’re a young metalhead- they are truly talented with unique and memorable songs. PANTERA is food for the pissed off soul. DANZIG- although more rock than metal is a god. Also check out his other band- SAMHAIN- it’s hit or miss with them but Lords of the Left Hand was a step in the right direction.

    AND ONE MORE THING- FUCK HIP HOP, RAP, POP, AND THE PUSSIES THAT MAKE IT POPULAR!!!

  263. My fave songs, which you may or may not consider metal. Sorry — I think a song’s “metal”ness is in the eye of the beholder (ear of the listener?)…
    In no particular order…
    1. Metallica – Fade to Black, One, Master of Puppets (their other songs are all great, but these are the ones whose melodies stick out)
    2. Static-X – Push It (Yes, it’s “nu-metal,” but it’s a good song. “Wisconsin Death Trip” is a little too screamy of a song for me.)
    3. Papa Roach – Getting Away With Murder, Scars, Last Resort (Yes, these too are the dreaded nu-metal. Whatever, they’re good to listen to.)
    4. Deftones – My Own Summer (awesome song, especially because it is loud and powerful without overdosing on the harsh screams.)
    5. Rammstein – Keine Lust, Mein Teil, Reise Reise, Du Hast, Ohne Dich, Sonne (German, yes!)
    6. Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name (Excellent guitar riff, whose catchy sound is lacking in Iron Maiden’s other great hits.)
    7. 3 Days Grace – Home, Drown, I Hate Everything About You, Just Like You (Not perfect heavy metal, but good songs nonetheless.)
    8. Megadeth – Symphony of Destruction (Go any further back into the 80s or 70s, past Iron Maiden, and it starts sounding a little too dated, like NiN. Sorry, Reznor fans!)
    9. Anthrax: Anti-Social, I Am the Law (Metal/Punk, this group can be mistaken for Metallica sometimes, though of course Metallica is much better!)
    10. System of a Down – Toxicity, Chop Suey (Their sound is very unique, but the “Down”-side is that it gets old fast.)

    And some other cool songs that aren’t really metal at all…
    1. Offspring – Self Esteem, Come Out and Play, Gotta Get Away (Offspring rules.)
    2. Flogging Molly – Rebels of the Sacred Heart
    3. Straylight Run – Sympathy for the Martyr, Another Word for Desperate (Emo?!?! Well, I think it’s hardcore enough with lyrics like “On my knees, choking, gasping, dripping spit.” Give these 2 songs a try, especially the 2nd, which has an awesome screaming chorus.)

  264. I know its not fashionable to like Metallica after Black and some reckon they sold out after Justice. Anyhow, Load and Reload are the only Metallica I don’t own. I never even listened to them. The other day I heard “king nothing.” Thought it was really great – maybe not all time classic Metallica – but a really cool riff. Then I listened to “aint my bitch” and thought that was quite cool as well. Did I just happen to hit on the only songs worth anything on these much maligned albums – or does everyone out their think these songs are part of the reason that these albums suck (apparently)?

  265. THIS IS IT PAY ATTENTION!

    mushroomhead – solitaire

    sod – prison song, sugar, spiders, chop suey

    static x – i am, i’m with stupid

    pantera- floods, walk, fucking hostile, badge, cemetary gates, this love, i’m broken, cowboys from hell, 5 minutes alone, hell’s wrath, war nerve

    Anthrax – indians, alpha male, among the living

    slipknot – surfacing, wait and bleed, spit it out, liberate, snap,

    six feet under – the day the dead walked, sick and twisted

    cannibal corpse – hammer smashed face

    machine head – davidian, ten ton hammer, the blood, the sweat the tears

    soulfly – back to the primative, prophecy

    sepultura- roots, refuse-resist

    stone sour – get inside, bother

    metallica- fade to black, green hell, seek and destroy, and justice for all, one, where ever i may roam

    megadeath – train of concequences

    american head charge – pushing the envelope, never ge caught

    tool – aenema, sober, stinkfist, h, parabola

    devildriver – swinging the dead, end of the line

    coal chamber – sway, big truck

    mudvayne – dig, not falling, death blooms

    loco – demolition

    fear factory – shock, replica, decent

    Deftones – 7words, bored

    alice in chains – would, nutshell, no exuses, man in the box, rooster, grind, sunshine, don’t follow

    type o negative – black no.1, christian woman, electrocute

    Mastadon – march of the fire ants

    E concete – mandibles

    sevendust – bitch, black, waffle, home, too close to hate

    Damage plan- fuck you, caged in a rage, same me, breathing new life

  269. the best metal band ever without a doubt metallica. well before black album anyway. master of puppets greatest song ever. fade to black creeping death, one, ride the lightining,the four horse men, welcome home, dyers eye, battery,from whom the bells told theres to manys songs to list that arnt brilliant. iron maiden and black sabbath also kick ass and megadeth also has some awsome songs liek holy wars, hanger 18 and tornado of souls they would have to be my top four bands

  270. hey guys from being there at the scene 25 years of music,the first ” metal song” was The Beatles Helter Skelter ya ok but just listen to also no one said
    Nebula
    Kyuss
    Overkill

  271. i am 16 and am just getting inot the older metal im really into slayer now they are fucking awesome like Seasons in the abyss. Angel of death. raining blood. hell awaits and. south of heaven also metallica are fucking unreal the newer metal stuff is slipknot only their new stuff their old stuff was jus screaming not lyrics with exception to wait and bleed and KoRn are fucking awesome too

  272. LISTEN 2 ME! the only good metallica iz their first 5 albums…nothing else & that disturbed, slipknot & limp bizkit can suck me cuz that shit aint metal. the best new metal (not ‘NU-metal’ cuz it sux) iz children of bodom, shadows fall & my guitar techers band Flatstick & a few others thats it the line ends there…O yeh & 4 the record…van halen should top that with runnin with the devil, eruption & panama. same with pantera but with a lot more than 3 songs.
    I KNOW MY METAL…KNOW YOURS!!

  273. Kill Em all and Ride the lightning are the best metallica, new metallica is a load of crap thats not worth shitting on, slipknot are the worst peace of shit band that has ever been named “metal”. if u call children of bodom Nu metal your a fuckstain that should die because its new metal and its fucking awesome, and the only reason its good is because it sounds old exept for the singing. anyone that mention linkin park or any of those softcore homosexual anthems should start growing balls and listen to proper metal like madien,old metallica and COB

  274. all you people saying new metallica is shit, it isn’t its just not metal anymore (although st anger. isn’t very good) new metallica probably fits under the category of hard rock
    anyway i like just about all metallica (except anger)

  275. wheres all the def leppard???????? and y do people like slipknot there fuckin shit!they just scream.
    iron maiden r the greatest band ever
    and yes the new metallica music sucks
    wat do u people reackon r the top ten heavy metal songs of all time?

  276. I figured I’d go ahead and thrown down a few names on this.

    Yngwie Malmsteen
    Joe Satriani
    Steve Vai
    Vinnie Moore
    –> MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO <–
    Buckethead
    Chris Impellitteri
    Dream Theater
    Jason Becker
    Joe Stump
    Nuno Bettencourt
    Rusty Cooley
    The Great Kat
    Tony MacAlpine

    Now here’s a list of some serious talent. Of course, I’m not trying to discredit the other bands…

  277. wtf did i deny slipknots earlier shit was screaming u piece of shit i said their newed shit isnt screaming and u wouldnt fucking know that if u had of listened to it dumbfuck i never mentiones pussy bands like linking park or limp bizkit nor did i say nething about st anger cuz thats shit

  279. Cmon fellas, lift the bar a little. Theres some bullshit comments getting around about linkin park, limp biskit even guns and roses. Yeah okay i can see ozzy’s contribution but sepa, seven dust, deftones, soul fly, system of a down, FUCKING RUBBISH. Yeah i can listen to them when Im at my mates house, Im not going to argue with the tracks he puts on, its his house, but i would never be cought dead listening to that shit at home. Its Time for An Educational lesson Gentlemen. Here are the Top 20 Songs created by man.

    1 Break on through/The Doors
    2 Sanitarium/Metallica
    3 Cant hear me knockin/Rolling Stones
    4 Orion/Metallica
    5 Highway to Hell AC/DC
    6 Sunshine of your love/Cream
    7 Smells like teen spirit/Nirvana
    8 Hallowed be thy name/Iron Maiden
    9 Wasted years/Iron Maiden

    17 For whom the Bell tolls/Metallica
    18 The Gift/INXS
    19 Killing in the name/Rage against the machine
    20 The Razor’s edge AC/DC

  280. The guy who reckons ACDC is a redneck band must have his head up his or someone elses arse. They are from Australia you dimwit, there are no rednecks in Australia. They arent all that good a band anyhow, compared to metal from other countries. My favourite band is blink 182 (NOT!!!!)

  281. meagadeth wat a band i cant say enough good things about them and y hasnt n e 1 said wasted years by iron maiden its 1 of the best songs ever weather u like it or not

  282. Sweet name some gay punk bands on the greatest metal songs hahahah what is this a joke????

  283. Early Metallica’s gotta top the list, guys. Anyone who’s ever cranked up songs like Motorbreath, The Four Horsemen and For Whom The Bell Tolls can’t argue with that. Painkiller by Judas Priest doesn’t get half as much recognition as it deserves…War Ensemble’s got to be one of Slayer’s most under-appreciated songs of all-time…am i the only one who’s ever heard Iron Man? Sabbath all the way, my friends…I leave you now with 3 words : FLIGHT OF ICARUS!!!!!!!!!!!

  284. sum guy said up there meagadeth is 1 of the greatest bands ever i agree behind metallica of course and then he said iron maiden – wasted years was a great song i had never heard it so i gave it a try and wow thats quality currentley my fav song thanks who eva rote that up there u a legend
    killing is my business …. and business is good

  285. METALLICA – (81 – 88 + s&m and St anger(whats wrong with it they are just trying somethin different))(dyers eve)
    MEGADETH – more meaningful metallica (their songs mean somethin to the band)(in my darkest hour, mechanix(original 4 horsemen)
    DEEP PURPLE – started it all (black night)
    ZEPPELIN – started it all (all of it)
    OZZY/SABBATH – started it all (iron man)
    MAIDEN – continued (new frontier, the fallen angel)
    PRIEST – continued(painkiller, ram it down)
    SLAYER – although inspiration for bullshit like slipknot etc. started true thrash metal (paul bostaph cant drum though KEEP DAVE LOMBARDO)(war ensemble, postmortem)
    FINNTROLL – folk/metal its good coz its different (trollhammeren, elitryes)
    KORPIKLAANI – folk/metal once again good coz different (hunting song, wooden pints)
    IN FLAMES – one of the few good melodic death metal bands (gyroscope, moonshield)

  286. oh and i nearly forgot
    OLD MAN’S CHILD – another good melodic death metal band (doommaker)
    BUDGIE – whoever said them before is a legend. Budgie all the way!!! (panzer division destroyed, napoleon bona part 1&2)
    EXODUS – good thrash metal. Great comeback album aswell (blacklist)
    PANTERA – just plain good (fuckin hostile, walk)

  287.

  292. Guys, chill out. Everybody has a different opinion on what metal really is. But when u hit things like simple plan and green day u know uve gone to far. And also, who cares if some people like nu metal or woteva everyone has different tastes, this thread is about ur opinion on what good metal is. you dont have to criticise people for their tastes.

    imagine if everyone liked exactly the same bands as you. thered be no variety and ud have faggots crawlin around everywhere goin “Look at me! Im a hardcore pantera/metallica/iron maiden/judas priest fan!!! *retarded laugh*” thats what mainstream radio and pop music is for. keeps the fags away from the good shit

  293. Kind Diamond arnt to bad you guys should try listening to some of there songs. for the record Punk fuckers,slipknot and new metallica are fucken shit.

  294. Pantera:
    Walk
    Cemetary Gates
    This Love
    Cowboys from hell
    Domination

    Motorhead:
    Ace of Spades
    In The Name of Tragedy
    Mean Machine

    Metallica:
    Sad but True
    Master of puppets
    Seek and Destroy

    Slayer:
    Dittohead
    In da gadda da vida
    Bloodline

    Those are just my personal favorites that i listen to at the moment. Theres some more but i just listened to them too much already so now they dont sound as good anymore.

  295. tool – schism,

    tool – parabola,

    alice in chains – them bones,

    alice in chains – heaven beside you,

    metallica – dyers eve,

    metallica – damage inc.,

    metallica – battery,

    metallica – motorbreath,

    megadeth – symphony of destruction,

    megadeth – peace sells,

    motorhead – ace of spades,

    slayer – skeletons of society,

    slayer – live undead,

    sabbath – war pigs,

    sabbath – paranoid,

    zeppelin – black dog,

    zeppelin – dazed and confused,

  296. half the shit u guys listed isnt even metal…simple plan ??? WTF

    next. one mans top 10 is gonnab e different to another, you can never agree as music is personal preference there is no “good” and “bad” music just what u think is good and bad.

    as for the person who said if u dont like dream theater then u have no idea about music ?? idiot

    i personally love metallica from kill em all to garage. but i dont say if u dont like it then u dont know music. the simple fact is music may sound good to your ears but not someones else’s

    i spose one mans trash is another mans treasure can be applied to music e.g dream theater for me to you

  297. Black Sabbath – Headless Cross
    In Flames – Only for the Weak
    Slipknot – Before I Forget
    —————————-
    THE BERZERKER – Corporal Jigsaw Quandary
    —————————-
    Judas Priest – Screamin for venagence

  298. i just want to know if everybody is doing this just for entertainment or just for the amusement? look, metal is metal. doesnt matter if it’s nu metal or death metal. just listen to the fucking music. Slipknot is bad fucking ass, Deicide is the best death metal band i’ve ever heard. Metallica is king of thrash. just please stop bitching and listen to the music

  299. I agree. I cannot believe how locked into certain bands people are. Most of the stuff recommended on this site has elements of metal. I get the impression that if “Fade to black” was on Load or Reload everyone would think it was a crap song, just because its not distorted riffs all the way through.

  300. can anyone mention any good songs from european pagan/viking bands like Ensiferum and Turisas

  301. You forgot some of the best metal songs of all time, including: “Bark At The Moon” by Ozzy (the king of metal, in my opinion), “Over the Mountain” by Ozzy, “Rainbow in the Dark” by Dio, “Looks That Kill” by Motley Crue, and “Dr. Feelgood” by Motley Crue. Also, how about some Quiet Riot or Faster Pussycat. And I happen to like the Rolling Stones a lot, but I wouldn’t consider them heavy metal at all. That’s like saying the Beatles are rap.

  302. listen guy i think Sabbath should be at the top for christ sakes man they are the ones that made metal what it is today dont get me wrong the ozzmans solo career was awsome but you cant beat the Sabbath days

  303. Black Sabbath-Snowblind
    Ozzy Osbourne-I Dont’t Know
    BLS-Genocide Junkies
    MEGADETH-count down to extinction
    Slayer-Seasons in the abyss
    g/z/r-Xodiak man half you guys come right out of a comic book this bass player invented distorted
    bass so why not include.

  304. Noboby but Nobody can play riffs like Tony and Nobody but Nobody can bend the strings like Geezer and Nobody but Nobody can bang the drums like Bill and Ozzy is God!!!I want ya listen,i’m trying to get though,Yea i’m talkin ta you!!!So you children of the world listen to what i say,when you ask the reasons why they just fill your head all full of lies.So let me explain the facts in a way you might just understand for those of you who come right out of a comic book!!!Sabbath made a road through a very thick forest with hardly any tools and needing help from no one at a time when things were extremely difficult,now isn’t it strange that so many people want to claim that they can make this road better and quicker than Sabbath when they now have all the lastest technology and plenty of help,well the simply fact is these people are just not smart enough to make their own road so they follow the original masters who made many more roads that will”never”be matched in this world.”God Bless Ya All”

  305.

    AC/DC – Ballbreaker
    AC/DC – Inject the Venom
    AC/DC – Big Gun
    AC/DC – Flick of the Switch
    Annihilator – King of the Kill
    Anthrax – I am the Law
    Black Sabbath – Supernaut

    Xandria – Ravenheart

    ** These are just songs I think are good, not “the greatest of all time” (with the exception of a few songs).

    *I know, Danzig is probably hard rock, but I threw it in there anyways.

    I listen to a wide variety of genres in music, Xandria isn;t going to be all that heavy, since its goth metal, but this IS a metal fourm after all.

  311. why arnt pantera mentioned enough on this stupid forum please all you litlle metal heads listen to pantera songs such as walk , imortally insane cowboys from hell and lett dimebag darrel rape you with his ultimate shredding guitar solos p.s METALLICA ………..

  312. I swear, some the people that post on here have the IQ of a fucking peanut.

    For Example:

    ” why arnt pantera mentioned enough on this stupid forum please all you litlle metal heads listen to pantera songs such as walk , imortally insane cowboys from hell and lett dimebag darrel rape you with his ultimate shredding guitar solos p.s METALLICA ……….. “

    1. Plenty of people posted both of those bands.
    2. THINK before you type.

    Alot of people do this “U ASSFUX DONT HAVE ENOUGH OPETH! ALL OTHER BANDS SUX “.

    I doubt anyone’s even going to read this.

  313. hi fuckers,
    all those who said nirvana sucks shud suck my cock i kno they r not metal but kurt is god period
    even led zepp n floyd r not metal but if u really wanna kno what is guitar,riffs,vocals u should listen to it
    my fav metal bands r
    black sabbath{especially wen ozzy was there}
    iron maiden{all}
    venom{all}
    deep purple{all}
    slayer{rainin blood}
    deicide
    i don giv a fuck if u don like them but they r the ones who produced wat u fuckin cal real metal
    n for all those pussies who think blink 182 sum 41 are metal kiss my ass
    ps : though acdc ic great band even they r not wat u can say true metal

  314. You all should be ashamed to call your self metal fans. Especially the ones dont add judas priest to their list. AS in the priest that every one from iron maiden on down list as their influence. Everyone is blabbering about true metal.

    First off lets look at some groups who built the path to metal:

    Deep Purple
    Cream
    Steppenwolf

    Now lets give Black Sabbath mention.

    Now to give a mention to the band that brought you metal as you know it. Judas Priest. How can most of you even have a metal list with out them is beyond me.

    Congrats to those who said Victim of Changes.
    which is critically still one of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time.

    One song even the ones that know what their talkin about forgot though is:

    Beyond The Realms Of Death.

    This song shine over any Sabbath song.

    This is why Many critics consider Priest the unofficial fathers of Metal.

    Songs Like:

    Victim of Changes
    Beyond the realms of Death
    The Ripper
    Breaking The Law
    You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’

    small taste of what they got.

    Not only did they create the metal image, of leather and studs. But they practically invented Riffs, and defined what was ment by dual guitar attacks.

    Please if Your going to make a list give proper credit:

    Judas Priest
    Black Sabbath
    Queensryche
    Iron Maiden
    Helloween
    Dio

    Slayer
    Anthrax
    Pantera
    Venom

    Metallica
    Megadeth

    This is an example of Many great bands.
    Anyways my point is when you make a list that includes Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Slayer,
    Any one who anything about Metal knows to put Judas Priest right up there.

  315. ac-dc are proper Rock n’ roll not metal,
    n’ you should check out motorhead- Dogs of War

  316. my few:

    All That Remains, For Salvation + Regret Not
    Atreyu, Bleeding Mascara.
    A7X, I Wont See You Tonight prt 2
    Billy Idol, Rebel Yell. (too much of a classic)
    Chimaira, Implements Of Destruction.
    Clutch, Mice and Gods.
    KoRn, Throw Me Away
    Pantera. Domination.
    Rammstein, Nebel + Hilf Mir + Kuss Mich.
    SOAD. Plastic Jesus + Nuguns + Forest.
    Tool, Schism.
    Trivium, For Whom The Bells Toll + The Storm + Requim + My Hatred + Demon.
    Velvet Revolver, Dirty Little Thing.
    Wednesday 13, Bad Things + Rot For Me.

    Now sme knows that most of those artists are on your lists.
    But those songs, to me are, at the moment, the definitive or their songs.
    I also know Billy Idol has brought out a single and to be honest its pants anthems like Rebel Yell, he should just keep those under his belt and thank to god he is somewhat praised over here in England, so yes Rebel Yell works in that list because it is truely an anthem, and you knows it.
    I know most of those songs are newer rock, but thats mainly because I listen to newer acts more than I do older ones and older acts I listen to are Pink Floyd, The Who and Thin Lizzy, they kinda dont look right in the list as this is mainly metal music.

  317. Ok, first of all, to all the stupid fucks who think THEIR taste of music is the correct one. You are all wrong. So stop the caps and the swearing, damn retards.

    As i see it there are two things that affect your opinion of music: Quality (Yeah, Music have quality) And personal taste.

    This may not be all Metal,
    but its Artist / Songs i like:

    SOAD – Most of their songs

    Nonpoint – Orgullo, Rabia, Truth (Cant believe nobody mentioned this band)

    RATM – Renegades of funk, Gerilla radio.

    Monster Magnet – Space lord, Powertrip

    Taproot – Poem, Calling

    Guano Apes – Alot of great songs

    Porcupine Tree

    Chevelle

    Pretty soft list in comparison with others.

  318. I’ve listened to alot of this and I think the top 5 best metal bands by far are:

    1. Metallica
    2. Iron Maiden
    3. Megadeth
    4. Pantera
    5. Godsmack(say wateva ya want godsmack kicks ass and u no it)

  319. WOW You are all weak. Where’s Black Label Society? Shadows Fall? Opeth? At The Gates? Right on with Pantera, one of the greatest. Godsmack is not Metal, is it queer trend rock. Any one of the bands I have listed will retard you “metallica is the greatest”, coming from a musician the only talented person in that band is Kirk Hammet. If you want to test me listen to Shadows Fall – “The Light That Blinds”. Man, you guys need to look away from MTV for metal. It doesn’t exist there!!

    seriously, for all you people who never mentioned about children of bodom, get a life. learn what real metal is :>

  326. You Guys Are ALL Dumbshit’s bigtime Zeppelin or nirvana wasnt metal And The Creators Of Heavy metal Was Metallica,Motorhead,Iron Maiden, And Black sabbath You Idiots Add Me At Frantical_Freak@hotmail.com If You Think Otherwise

  327. Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever. Bruce is a great operatic SINGER and Steve is a wonderful lyricist apart from being a superb bassist. Their songs are crystal clear, even every guitar note for that matter.

    All of their songs are nice, but “Number of the Beast” stands out.

  328. If you call frantically raping your guitar, screaming incoherently in to a mic and hitting drums as fast as you possibly can for the (AWESOME BLAST BEAT),talent then you are more fucked up than miriah’s career after doing glitter. This is not metal!!!!!! Metallica,maiden,preist,motorhead,sabbath,ect just to name a few is real fucking metal if you beleive otherwise give your fucking head a shake. Just cause it sounds heavy doesnt make it metal. It needs substance too. WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!! For you real metal fans rock on fuckers

  331. Is it just me or do ALOT of people have twisted views on what “Metal” is. Granted, everyone is different and have different tastes, and to each his own. But after reading this, it sickens me to see some people consider Linkin Park metal?!?! Sorry to say this, but Led Zeppelin is not metal either. Classic rock, very very good band, timeless songs. But not metal. When I think of metal, the majority of songs I think of come from the 80s, with some 70s and some 90s. No one can deny that Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and last but not least, Judas Priest were truly the mainstream pioneers of Metal. It is foolish to disregard some bands such as Slipknot, Mudvayne etc.. just because they are “nu metal”…20 years from now, people will look back at these bands as great metal bands as well. Pantera, Megadeth, Sepultura, Quiet Riot, Dio, and even Van Halen are all metal bands and good ones at that. Nirvana?! Sorry, no. I don’t even think of Godsmack as metal. Disturbed, in my opinion are way overplayed and have a rock sound.

    May not be worth much but the 10 best metal songs in my opinion (No particular order):

    Fade to Black – Metallica
    Peace Sells – Megadeth
    Walk – Pantera
    Hallowed Be Thy Name – Iron Maiden
    Metal Gods – Judas Priest
    Hell Awaits – Slayer
    Bang Your Head – Quiet Riot
    Everything Ends – Slipknot
    Iron Man – Black Sabbath
    Whip It – Devo

    Of course that last one is a joke..Again, personal preference and view’s. Keep bangin heads!

  342. Although im a huge AC/DC fan, they arent really heavy metal. Certainly not Bon Scott era anyway (R.I.P.).
    The first true heavy metal band is Black Sabbath definitely.
    Current fave Sabbath songs
    1. Sabbra Cadabra
    2. Children of the Grave
    3. War Pigs
    4. Black Sabbath
    5. Hole in the Sky
    Also Ozzy on his own is immense, Randy Rhoads is the most obscenely good guitarist ever (R.I.P.)

  343. KSE and Lamb of God are the best new metal by a mile. and they both kick serious ass.
    top 10 bands
    1. Metallica (always will be)
    2. Pantera
    3. Children of Bodom
    4. Slayer
    5. Killswitch Engage
    6. Slipknot
    7. Van Halen
    8. Iced Earth
    9. Iron Maiden
    10. lamb of God
    others. blind guardian, dragonforce, sonata arctica, scorpions, sabbath, alice cooper, megadeth, tbe, anthrax
    would be missing a few.
    classic metal song – strapping yong lad – far beyond metal.

  344. operation mindcrime is the best album ever, closely followed by machine head by Deep Purple and hell bent for leather by Judas Priest.

    Best song ever, im tempted to say sign of the cross by iron maiden.

    interesting views here….

  345. hey, not a bad list of metal songs, but u only seem to list a few metal bands, blk sabboth, maiden, dio, kiss, ac – dc, metallica, ect. all the basic metal bands. a good list though, im glad you didnt have any nu-metal bands on there or anything. btw, no van halen!!! haha.

    email me
    ironmaiden1427@aol.com

  346. of the top of my head
    the trooper: iron maiden
    dance of death:iron maiden
    hellrider:judas priest
    painkiller:judas priest
    fury of the strom:dragonforce

  347. “You all should be ashamed to call your self metal fans. Especially the ones dont add judas priest to their list. AS in the priest that every one from iron maiden on down list as their influence. Everyone is blabbering about true metal.

    First off lets look at some groups who built the path to metal:

    Deep Purple
    Cream
    Steppenwolf

    Now lets give Black Sabbath mention.

    Now to give a mention to the band that brought you metal as you know it. Judas Priest. How can most of you even have a metal list with out them is beyond me.

    Congrats to those who said Victim of Changes.
    which is critically still one of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time.

    One song even the ones that know what their talkin about forgot though is:

    Beyond The Realms Of Death.

    This song shine over any Sabbath song.

    This is why Many critics consider Priest the unofficial fathers of Metal.

    Songs Like:

    Victim of Changes
    Beyond the realms of Death
    The Ripper
    Breaking The Law
    You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’

    small taste of what they got.

    Not only did they create the metal image, of leather and studs. But they practically invented Riffs, and defined what was ment by dual guitar attacks.

    Please if Your going to make a list give proper credit:

    Judas Priest
    Black Sabbath
    Queensryche
    Iron Maiden
    Helloween
    Dio

    Slayer
    Anthrax
    Pantera
    Venom

    Metallica
    Megadeth

    This is an example of Many great bands.
    Anyways my point is when you make a list that includes Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Slayer,
    Any one who anything about Metal knows to put Judas Priest right up there.”

    Well-said, well-said.

    Greatest Songs.
    I can’t sequence this…
    ANYTHING on Painkiller – Judas Priest

    wait… Any song on any Judas Priest with rob album is good. Yes EVEN Turbo (taken a recent liking to the 80’s pop metal)

  348. Just though i would say… You cant tell people to put Judas Priest on their list just because they created metal… They didnt exaclty created with some great songs, + some of the newer bands are creating some kick ass tunes thats outrate judas priest 10x…

    Dont put Judas Priest on your list just because they created metal… Put it there if you actually like their songs

    there all truly the 2nd best metal band ever
    after Led Zepplin

    i luv any songs that hav wicked riffs and solos

  354. what about bleeding through? It dies today? Haste the Day? Anal Cunt? As I lay Dying?

  355. atleast one song by every single band mentioned on this fuckin place has a good song so all of you shut the fuck up..everyone is different and has their own opinion…every band is good in someones eyes or they would have never made it to your ears for you to even talk bad good great or horrible about them..so my advice is listen to all songs all bands..all of them have their strong points

  356. Pan-fuckin-tera, bitches. And if you’re a fan, check up on Down and Superjoint Ritual (Phil Anselmo’s other bands) and Damageplan (Dime and Vin’s other band) R.I.P. Dime, we miss you brother!

  357. Black Sabbath have all the best riffs…for example
    Heaven and Hell
    Iron Man
    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
    Children of the Grave
    Into the Void
    SABBATH RULES!!!!!!!!!

  358. wtf wheres pantera quiet possibly one of the most influencual metal bands of the 90’s they have plenty of songs that are worthy to be included in your list. how could you have sepultura with out pantera? dont get me wrong sepultura is good but they are no pantera. also no rob zombie or damage plan?

  359. yeah i agree with harvester of sorrow even though he spelt harvester wrong. a metal list with one pantera song should be considered incompleted. nirvana should be considered lithium and smells like teen spirit i mean come on

  360. yeah ppl need to name some pantera and other thrash metal bands from the 90’s, because thrash metal is like one of the best kinds of metal.

  361. ..what the fuck is going on here?is marilyn manson a metal anti-hero?no,guys,manson is something like britney and madonna,a superstar,nothing more…i suggest: katatonia
    darkthrone [hail norway!]

    black sabbat:…tsss they are a metal band? they almosta are the beatles

    finish

  367. Metallica is by far the greatest heavy metal band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  368. So much on this page is PURE shit….and allow me to address that last comment regarding Sabbath- Beatles? Go back to sucking on your milk-bottle buddy, as being a baby is the only excuse for your ignorance.

    Slayer- South of Heaven
    Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss
    GWAR- Bring back the bomb
    Black Sabbath- NIB
    Opeth- Ghost of Perdition
    Lamb of God- Omerta

    Dark Tranquility- Hedon
    Cannibal Corpse- Hammer Smashed Face
    Metallica- For Whom the Bell Tolls
    Manowar- Manowar
    Black Label Society- Battering Ram

    Yes, it’s an ecclectic list….sue me.

  369. d00d Led Zeppelin is not metal, stop saying it is. its like blues/rock and some stupid ass rock.

  370. You are an idiot. Led Zeppelin is possibly the greatest metal band of all time. They have one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time (Plant), one of the best/most creative metal guitar players (Page) and possibly the ABSOLUTE best drummer of all time (Bonham). Granted they did experiemented in all types of music, including folk and blues, they were, however, writing some of the earliest and still narliest heavy metal licks of all time. Not only were they the very first ones doing this (60’s), but they were the main influence for the best metal bands that followed, including Sabboth and Maiden. If you don’t think songs such as Achilles Last Stand and Good Times Bad Times are heavy, you don’t have a true appreciation for metal music. You listen to the guitar solo in Dazed and Confused and you try telling me that isnt metal. Just because a band experiments with other types of music doesn’t mean they can’t be a metal band as well, especially the group that is widly considered the first “super band.”

  371. For me 10 greatest song of metal are

    1.Metallica – Master Of Puppets
    2.Slayer – Angel Of Death
    3.Iron Maiden – Hallowed be thy name
    4.Metallica – Fade To Black
    5.Pantera – Cemetery Gates
    6.Judas Priest – Beyond The Realms Of Death
    7.Testament – Ower The Wall
    8.Megadeth – Tornado Of Souls
    9.Slayer – Raining Blood
    10.Iron Maiden – Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

    Well there are much more good songs but I think these are can I say Best.On this page I saw too many shit.

    and best metal bands are:

    Metallica
    Slayer
    Pantera
    Sepultura
    Testament
    Iron Maiden
    Judas Priest
    Black Sabbath
    Megadeth
    Antrax

    Glenn/KK
    Dave Mustaine

    You are shit you don’t know anything

    king diamond!!!

  372. Fucking idiots. AC/DC is not metal. Guns ‘n Roses is not metal. Nirvana is not metal. 3 Doors Down is not fucking metal, you shitbricks.

    Led Zeppelin may not be what most people would consider “metal”, but consider the fact that them and Sabbath laid the foundation for the NWoBHM, and that pretty much every metal band in history would have them as one of their top influences, so they have to be at least somewhat classified as metal. Some of their songs were metal, some weren’t, but what they did for the genre is amazing.

  373. Metallica’s new stuff owns most of the new shit out there. Their covers are mostly better than the originals. Their old stuff deserves a list of its own. If you say ‘metal’ and don’t recognize the 80’s, you don’t deserve to be born. I’m not commenting on the new acts. They have their place in the halls of respect, a good deal of them.

    All you ‘new metal only’ fags can bite me. Your music would sound like Poison and Cinderella now if you didn’t have the heavy shoulders of the past to rest on, from the 70’s and 80’s.

    Slayer, ManOWar, Motorhead, Sabbath, Pantera, Maiden, and Metallica (and a few notable but unlisted others) paved the way for anything heavy today, from Soundgarden, to Celtic Frost, to Korn, System of a Down, Tool, Zombie, and even some of this shit that I don’t know where the hell you’re getting it from… Fucking Nickleback?

    Anyway, I can’t speak to a lot of this shit on here, especially the obscure ‘Cephamongofightus’ type shit. Cannibal Corpse and Cradle of Filth and Carcass, don’t know shit about them. But anyone who puts Chevelle and Puddle of Mudd on a Metal list needs to slit their wrists. Not to say that shit can’t be good, but I wouldn’t put the Grateful Dead on a fucking Metal list, either.

    Die in a fire, posers.

  374. Hey faggots listen to real music like old shit from the 70’s and 80’s not homo shit like slipknot a bunch of ugly cunts with faggot masks to hide there cumstains on there lips that cant play music for shit if you wanna hear real metal listen to Johnny Cash And Britney Spears

  375. Best Metal Bands ever:

    1. AC/DC
    2. Megadeth
    3. Guns N’ Roses
    4. Metallica
    5. Led Zeppelin
    6. Black Sabbath
    7. Ozzy Osbourne
    8. System Of A Down
    9. Nirvana
    10. Iron Maiden

  376. how any of u lot can say that gnr aint metal should have their heads examined. gnr brought back metal in its truest form if it wasnt for them shitty electronic keyboards may still be around. fair enough every album apart from appetite that they have done has not been a metal album but this band gave kids a glimpse of what it was like to live in the glory days of the late seventies.any of you listen to appetite for destruction and tell me that is not old skool metal at its best should go fuck themselves.

    and for all you cunts that keep writng in about slipknot and bullet for my valentine, please stop polluting this site which pays tribute to some of the greatest bands of all time, they should be comapared to all this new metal bollocks

  377. white zombie- thunder kiss 65′
    white zombie- more human than human
    rob zombie- dracula
    Iron Maiden- aces high & flash of the blade
    Dream Theater – As I Am

  378. Whoever put “nirvana” on their list … nirvana was in NO way metal. they were grundge

    Airut – Lyijykyyneleet (http://airut.info/main.php?language=2)

  381. ok, i agree all of these songs are great. but what about avenged sevenfold. maybe one of the best bands out right now. those guys are one of those bands you never get tired of listening to.

  382. how about we vote for the best metal song. list up the ONE SONG you think is the best, and why.

  383. Dude, you have gotta give props to the fuckin Black Label Society. Zakk Wylde is amazing. Him and Dimebag are/were the last of a breed because we all know what happened to Dimebag Darrell. Thornley is a great newer band but probably not the best of all time. In my opinion, the band that rocks the hardest is fucking Metallica. How bad ass is Kirk Hammit?

  384. kirk hammet, dimebag darrel, or eddie van halen?

    too tough to make adesicion, but they each kick fuckin ass in their own way. rock the fuck on

  385. some songs i like:
    Pantera- becoming, 5 minutes alone, I’m broken, fucking hostile, walk,cowboys from hell, cemetary gates, goddam electric.

    Cannibal corpse- listen to the last two albums: “wretched spawn” and “kill”

    Lamb Of God- Hourglass, Laid to rest, Now you’ve got something to die for

    Cradle of Filth- Born In a Burial, Her Ghost in the fog, From the cradle to enslave, Hollowed by the name (iron maiden cover)

    Nevermore- This Godless Endeavor the whole album is great.

    Metallica- Everything is great but st anger sucks

    other metal bands:
    Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, you guys are forgetting about manowar, kreator and arch enemy

  386. Hey! i dunno if anyone mention this band i didnt read all the comments but HELLOWEEN is fucking awesome is power metal, the best. anyways my favorites of all time

    Metallica Trapped under ice (regardless of what some ppl say)
    Megadeth Hangar 18
    Iron Maiden KILLERS!!!
    Judas Priest Painkiller
    Helloween Ride the Sky
    Black Sabbath Die Young
    Savatage Gutter Ballet
    Iced Earth Dracula
    Motorhead Overkill
    Guns N’ Roses You could be mine
    Led Zeppelin Dased and confused
    AC/DC Thunderstruck
    Dream Theatre Pull me under

  387. Megadeth are such a brilliant thrash, and sometimes progressive, band. I can’t explain in words how much ass they kick.

    Tornado of Souls
    Angry Again
    Kill The King
    Hanger 18
    Sweating Bullets
    Train of Consequences(Oh what a brilliant song!)

    Actually I think I’ll stop there. Coz all of their songs rock harder than, uh….. Metal!

  388. Train of Consequences uses a brilliant harmony of nuetral pentonic riffs against major vocals, which really shouldn’t sound right. But for some reason, by defying all musical laws it fucking does!!! It maybe on a newish album(Unfortunately Megadeth follow the same road as Metallica on this one. Maybe it’s got sumthin’ to do with Dave Mustain???) It stills deserves a place on their mantle of awsum songs. Actually, I think the best idea is to just get one of they’re compilation albums. They’re usually chock full of the songs that you really would love to listen to.

    NU-METAL SUX!!! MAY THE PAST TAKE OVER THE FUTURE!!! LIKE SUM CRAPPY SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE TIME PARADOX!!!

  389. Man im sick of ppl calling Metallica sell outs just because they changed their style. I agree, their newer styles arent as good as the thrash metal that they started out with. But honestly, who gives a fuck? they have the right to change their music if they want to, and you dont have to like it. But damn, based on their first 3 albums alone Metallica kicks as much ass as pretty much any metal band out there. Metallica is undeniably a top 3 of all time band, along with Iron Maiden and. they have so much awesome stuff.

    Led Zeppelin is not metal, btw.

    I wont even try to make a list, because Id forget too much.

    btw, check out “One” from the S&M cd if you havent already. Its a song that as good as it already is, its so much better on the live CD.

  390. Megadeth is way better then matallica. Just listen to Hangar 18, Tornado of Souls and Hook in Mouth.

  391. Megadeth is way better then matallica. Just listen to Hangar 18, Tornado of Souls and Hook in Mouth.

    Thats my thoughts on this, and i don’t care what anyone says, but Megadeth just can’t compare with Metallica(with Cliff)…Metallica is ten times better and Dave Mustaine sounds sorta dumb when he sings.

  393. You can not seriously make this list without Judas Priest and Megadeth. anyone ever heard of Beyond the Realms of Death by Judas? Fucking awesome song.

  394. I can’t believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $57775. Isn’t that crazy!

  395. Hey,

    I just found the site, and see these argguments go back to 2002 to today about the greatest metal songs of all time! Thats crazy.

    Im kinda new to metal but in my opinion here are my fave top 10 metal bands (in no particular order as i cant pick a fav!)-

    1. Pantera,
    2. Iron Maiden,
    3. Black Sabbeth,
    4. Alice Cooper,
    5. Van Halen,
    6. Motorhead,
    7. Slipknot,
    8. Megadeath,
    9. Led Zepplin,
    10. Metallica.

    I also like these bands but think they come into a different catorgory….

    Classic Rock-
    Guns n roses, Aerosmith, ACDC, Kiss, Queen.

    Goth-
    Marlyin manson, Cradle of Filth, Nightwish.

    What do you think?

    Tessie x x

  396. here are some other goodies

    Devo
    Men without hats
    blondie
    paul young
    and my all time favorite william hung

  397. devo is my favorite metal
    also i like the gogos as light metal/rock
    and lastly lets not forget duran duran oh gosh so great

  398. Well, I think that Kill ’em all is a legendary album. Seriously, all metallica’s greatest songs are on that album. But unfortunately, unlike some idiots, I think the greatest power/thrash metal album of all time is, “Rust in peace” By Megadeth. Just too fucking good to compare. I mean, I think that Metallica’s fight fire with fire is one of their greatest songs. Aint’ seen no-one mention it. Such a brilliantly synchopated riff…… Oh man. But god, Tornado Of Souls??? Brilliant to the fucking max. Now if someone else could sing it…..

  399. Welcome to the jungle should of been number one on that list and anthrax sucks!!

  400. Iron Maiden is the best of all time!! They have never played a flop show and they have 3 albums in the top ten of all time!! Even their 1st album rocked! Have you head ‘No More Lies’? No one has probably given attention to it. It’s in their dance of death album. I think AC\DC is no.2. Black Sabbath no.3 and Slayer no.4. I am only 13 and haven’t been a metal fan for very long so I’ll just give my top 5 bads. Not that i don’t know the bands but i just never heard their music.

    1.IRON MAIDEN
    2.AD/DC
    3.BLACK SABBATH
    4.Slayer.
    5.Deep Purple.
    6.Judas Priest.
    7.Led Zeppelin.
    8.Metallica
    9.Guns N Roses
    10.Megadeth

    Iron Maiden,AC\DC and Black Sabbath are in all of your lists. Thats means they ARE the best of all time!!

  401. First of all a message to the people that dis all of the old bands, without Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden etc Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet4MyValentine and all the other newer metal bands wouldn’t even exist!!!
    Here is a list of bands and their classic that i personally think make up the genre of rock/metal:

    1)Black Sabbath – Iron Man, Paranoid, Snowblind

    2)Led Zeppelin – Heartbreaker, Kashmir, Good Times Bad Times

    3Deep Purple – Black Night, Smoke On The Water

    4)Ozzy Osbourne – Crazy Train, Suicide Solution, Over The Mountain

    5)Alice Cooper – Schools Out, Poison, Elected

    6)Iron Maiden – Pretty much all of their songs but Holy Smoke, Run to the hills, number of the beast stand out as gr8!

    7)Megadeth – Hangar 18, Angry Again

    8)Guns N’ Roses – Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Mr. Brownstone

    9)Motley Crue – Dr. Feelgood

    10)System Of A Down – Psycho, BYOB, Toxicity

    11)Avenged Sevenfold – Bat Country, Chapter 4, Betrayed

    12)Metallica – (RIP Cliff!!!)Enter Sandman Trapped Under Ice, Master Of Puppets

    13)Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name

    14)Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back In Town, Emerald, Cowboy Song

    15)Motorhead – Ace Of Spades, Orgasmatron

    16)Hawkwind (yes an old band but still classic rock) – Hassan I Sahba, Motorhead, Psi Power

    17)AC/DC – Highway To Hell, You Shook Me All Night Long, TNT, Back In Black

    18)Steppenwolf – Born To Be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride

    19)Van Halen – Running With The Devil

    20)Anthrax – Caught In A Mosh, Indians

    24)Judas Priest – Breaking The Law

    25)Twisted Sister – I Wanna Rock

    27)Jimi Hendrix (RIP)- All Along The Watchtower(Dillen Cover), Crosstown Traffic, Purple Haze

    I know I have left a lot out, there are too many classics, if anyone thinks my views of rock is wrong then so be it!!!

  402. LONG LIVE METALLICA!!! Anyone who says metallica is shit is proving their ignorance of true metal. forget about the hits like enter sandman, the true metallica lies in songs like orion, to live is to die, and call of the ktulu. I have never come across another heavy metal band that can pull off a 8+ minute instrumental with such incredible grace and power. R.I.P Cliff Burton

  403. Ok..wots the deal with death metal…it’s shit! How can it b classed as a genre..its just noize!
    LONG LIVE THE CLASSICS!

  404. Yea i agree..death metal sucks…bands like Zep, Sabbath have a higher place in metal standards…Slipknot is shit 2

  405. U immature shit..this is a metal chat not a bollcoks one u shit…
    OZZY IS SWEET!

  406. megadeth holy wars
    pantera by demons be driven-walk
    dream theater pull me under
    iron maiden gates of tomorrow
    Black Sabbath [reunion]war pigs
    tool sober
    ozzy suicide solution
    diary of a madman
    i dont want to change the world
    miracle man
    paranoid
    blessed hellride stillborn

  407. Hey guys great lists! I agree with all of the bands metioned with the exception of one. And that band would be KISS. (gasp,cough) Yes, I know some of you make be thinking I’m smoking crack but let me expand my thinking. Although they have produced some good rock songs I don’t consider them metal because they are sissys. They are more about marketing than the music itself and Paul Stanley shakes his ass too much. I blame them for Poison and the phrase Hair Band. To reference what I am talking about listen to the CRAZY NIGHT album from start to finish. It’s easily the worse rock album next to Winger.

    Call KISS glam rock but they aint metal.

  408. Led Zeppelin is not heavy metal… but they are a mix of Hard Rock/Rock/Blues/Metal.

    without them, there wouldnt be most fo the bands you know of today.

    Same thing goes for Iron Maiden.

    Best Metal song is

    Hallowed Be Thy Name – Iron Maiden

    but compared to Led Zeppelin… Musically, Led zeppelin were better.

    Led Zeppelin can count as Metal… You could call it “early Metal” if you like, because that explains it.

  409. Judas Priest – Painkiller
    Iron Maiden – The Trooper
    Iron Maiden – Aces High
    Black Sabbath – Heaven and Hell
    Pantera – Cementery Gates
    Rainbow – Stargazer
    Metallica – Fade to Black
    Metallica – Master of Puppets
    Megadeth – Hangar 18
    Megadeth – Symphony of Destruction
    Dream Theater – Metropolis Part I
    Dream Theater – The Dance of Eternity

  410. Megadeth vs. Metallica

    I would pick megadeth because they change theyre style of music, and dont use the same cord to play with. Dave mustaine in my opinion is just a musical genious. i mean he has wrote basically all of megadeth’s awesome lyrics and music. megadeth is actually going to come out with another album its being recorded in london actually right now and is set to be releashed later this year. Metallica only wins because they have sold more records, but if record sells mattered then britney spears would be the greatest artist of all time.

    Great Megadeth songs:

    Devil’s Island
    Holy Wars
    Angry again
    99 ways to die
    symphony of destruction
    back in the day
    blackmail the universe
    peace sells
    When (not talked about although i find it a good song and believe the lyrics are pretty good.)

    lots of others i just dont feel like naming alot of them

  411. Hey, just found the site. I’m a straight metal head all the way. Metallica beats Megadeth in every way, even though Megadeth is awesome ( love Hangar 18 and peace sells). I mean come on. Megadeth doesnt have any master pieces like …And Justice for all or Master of Puppets. Seek and destroy is also better than any megadeth song. On a different note, I love metal of all ages. Metallica is best band ever, and i hate death metal, but have any of you heard Embrace the Gutter by The Autumn Offering? The singing is “Death Metally” except for the chorus, but THE GUITAR IS AWESOME! The guitar is crazy fast and heavy, but is is harmonized and sounds really cool. Also, the solo reminds me of 80’s thrash metal. That song is one of my favorites, check it out. I’ll post later on the REAL best bands ever.

  412. This site has sparked a new interest in metal music among friends and coworkers I’ve directed here. Everyone has metioned some great metal songs. I wanted to respond to the writer who asked why there wasn’t more Motley Crue on some of the lists. I think most people think about how they slid into pop towards the end of their career. Metal is music that offends and scares people who don’t understand it. I think Shout At The Devil is a good metal album. And Livewire ( I need more cow bell) is a good metal song. But the Crue were never as dark or good as Megadeth or Metallica. The one thing that I respect them for is paving the way for other bands who are on the lists here…..

    Albums recently undusted:
    Metal Church – The Dark..
    Armored Saint – Raising Fear

  413. I haven’t read everyone’s post, because there are way too many. However, I’ll take a moment to say this. In the history of rock and roll, there have been a few select bands that have been so devoid of talent and yet so obnoxiously overrated that their music has had a crippling effect on their entire generation. They are, in order, with #1 being the worst…

    1) Nirvana
    2) Marilyn Manson
    3) Limp Bizkit
    4) Cradle of Filth
    5) Avenged Sevenfold (Never heard of them? Your 14 year old son and daughter probably have. Do the world a favor… sit down with them and set them straight on what real rock and roll is really about.)

  414. This is the list of my fav metal songs – that I can think of right now, ’cause there are others (this is a PERSONAL list so don’t jump at my throat if you’re favs aren’t here :P)

    METALLICA (up until the Black Album; they went downhill ever since… )
    The Four Horsmen
    Seek & Destroy
    Creeping Death
    For Whom The Bell Tolls
    Fade To Black
    Master of Puppets
    Sanitarium
    One
    …And Justice For All
    Wherever I May Roam
    The Unforgiven

    IRON MAIDEN (great band and great songs; you can even learn a bit of history/mythology by listening to them :P)
    2 Minutes To Midnight
    Can I Play With Madness
    Fear Of The Dark
    Heaven Can Wait
    Iron Maiden
    Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
    Run To The Hills
    The Number Of The Beast
    The Trooper

    JUDAS PRIEST (good, but not as good as Maiden imo)
    Breaking The Law
    Electric Eye
    You’ve Got Another Thing Coming

    AC/DC (although they’re more hard rock than metal)
    Back In Black
    Hell’s Bells
    Highway To Hell
    Let Me Put My Love Into You
    TNT
    Thunderstruck

    GUNS N’ ROSES (not 100% metal either)
    Nightrain
    Paradise City
    The Civil War
    The Garden
    Welcome To The Jungle
    You Could Be Mine

    BLACK SABBATH (some say they’re the first metal band; anyway they sure did have influence)
    Children Of The Grave
    Children Of The Sea
    Heaven And Hell
    Paranoid
    Sabra Cadabra

    LED ZEPPELIN (again not exactly metal, but they had a lot of influence on it)
    Black Dog
    Communication Breakdown
    Immigrant Song
    Stairway To Heaven
    Whole Lotta Love

    OZZY OSBOURNE (the man is good; or at least was good)
    Killer Of Giants
    Shot In The Dark
    Suicide Sollution
    You Can’t Kill Rock And Roll

    QUEEN (they’re probably the least metal band in the list, but they do have a great legacy)
    Bohemian Rhapsody
    I Want It All
    Innuendo
    One Vision
    The Show Must Go On
    We Will Rock You
    We Are The Champions

    and then of course you have Anthrax, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Billy Idol, Gary Moore, Pantera, Twisted Syster, Van Halen, Lynard Skynard, Def Leppard, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, KISS, Slayer, Aerosmith and I can go on forever 🙂

    For me the best period for metal (and rock in general) was the ’80; the ’70, late ’60 and early ’90 also produced some good songs.
    However I thing that in today’s music the word ‘metal’ is mostly associated with bands that have very little in common with true metal (and even rock in general). You hear a lot of noise, screams and grumbling voices, but no guitar solos, no real instrumentatuion, no personality and no talent.
    Today kids talk about metal, but they have no idea what metal is all about. They think that the world of metal is reduced to Manson, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot and the likes. If this is supposed to be called evolution than I think I’ll say pass on it. ‘Involution’ is what it’s called and I don’t want to have anything to do with it…

  415. what about the kings of thrash MEGADETH ‘set the world afire’, ‘in my darkest our’ and ‘rust in peace are the best fucken songs ever

  416. METAL — METAL — METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    PANTERA
    SLAYER
    SOIL
    SOILWORK

    IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR ANY OF THE SONGS I HAVE POSTED ON THIS SITE — (WELL ANY METAL SONGS) I HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING!!!! NO JOKE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRADE THROUGH MSN I AM WILLING TO BUT ONLY FOR A GOOD TRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  422. Metallica, Slayer and Pantera obviously. No details necessary.

    Don’t want to get into the arguments about what is and what is not metal. So this is for all those who just like good music that is part of the metal heritage – even if nowadays it doesn’t sound particularly heavy.

    Compare Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) with Gates of Babylon (Rainbow).

    Compare Black dog (Led Zeppelin) with Still of the Night (White Snake).

    Check out early Queen:March of the Black Queen, Ogre Battle, Great King Rat, Liar, Son and daughter, Brighton Rock, Flick of the wrist. Also News of the World (rated by Slash as the best Queen and most guitar oriented Queen album) – for those who object to this Queen mention – yeah i know they’re mostly commercial -but remember that Metallica opened the Mercury tribute concert and covered Stone Cold Crazy (and that was before Load).

    Remember early Uriah Heep: Easy Livin’, Look at yourself, Magicians birthday – pretty tame these days, but back in the early 70s…

    Notice somebody mentioned 21st century Schizoid man (King crimson). That song was ahead of its time – nice Greg Lake vocals – check him out on Knife Edge (Emerson, Lake and Palmer – back in the days when they thought an organ could be heavy – cool riff – Karn evil 9 1st impression deserves a mention!)

    Black Sabbath Volume 4 for the most consistently high quality riffs – probably ever. Tony Iommi at his best – great Ozzy melodies.

    Deep purple – Burn, Into the fire.

    ACDC- Razor’s Edge

    Oh incidentally, can any guitarists out there tell me how the hell Dimebag plays that awesome riff in Becoming – I can’t find the high note.

  423. In Flames – Scron
    In Flames – Trigger
    In Flames – Only for the weak
    In Flames – Resin
    In Flames – Egonomic
    and so on…

    Himsa – Anathema
    Himsa – Kiss or Kill
    Himsa – Pestilence

    Hatesphere – 500 dead people
    Hatesphere – Deathtrip
    Hatesphere – Sickness within

    Crowbar – Dream Weaver
    Crowbar – My agony
    Crowbar – Will that never dies

    Arch Enemy – Enemy Within

    3 Inches Of Blood

    Trivium

  424. please shut up with lordi … there making money on crappy musik cus they entered the eurovison so the world saw them…. think of all those brilliant talentet metal bands working there asses off never reaching the top when they have so much more talent that fucking lordi … not fair… i hate that..

    ppl of the world look for undergroud and small bands of metal some great starts out there !

  425. Death metal is okay, thrash is the best, NWOBHM is pretty cool (Maiden and all that).

    Nu metal can suck my dick. Bands like metallica are getting engulfed by Slipknot as we speak. The old bands like Slayer , Anthrax, Megadeth, and especially Metallica are starting to suck horribly.
    Fux u Bob Rock, or should I call you ‘Rob’ Rock.

  426. First of all, death/black metal is shit!!!! It all sux, whoever listens to that shit doesnt have a clue in their asses!!! all that shit sux!!!!
    who wants to listen to shit that just sounds like noise????? you wont find one single hot babe at one of those concerts!!!! its all a shitty trend and i wish i could personnally fight all of you who listens to it cause yall are pussies anyways!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE HAIR METAL YOU BITCHES!!!!!! Bands that know how to have a good time!!!!!!!!

    POISON
    MOTLEY CRUE
    RATT
    VAN HALEN
    CINDERELLA
    SKID ROW

  428. Good ,you are ozzy and sabbs fan just like me.
    But your list is too sublective , there are many great songs pose ozzy and black sabbath 🙂
    but its good!

    greets from Poland!

  429. What about stuff like GWAR, Angel Witch, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Dimmu Borgir, Slipknot, Superjoint Ritual,Cannibal Corpse, White Zombie, Damage Plan, Black Label Society, Diamond Head, Megadeth, Tool, God Forbid, Killswitch Engage, & Devil Driver….Trust me i could go on.

  430. Well , King Glen certainly told us where we went wrong. And with the power with all that is Poison he is going to kick some ass. While still learning how to type and being king of his very own trailer Glen did bring up Van Halen so all is not completely lost.

    I’ve read most of the posts on here and the vast majority are thinking in the same vein of things. Metal is music that has been dark, raw, evil ,angry,loud and underground ever since a rock critic called Black Sabbath’s music “metallic sounding” back in 1970. King Glen tells us that death metal is a “shitty trend” and calls it “noise”. That sounds like someone who doesn’t even
    understand what metal is.

    Just to further the point- Back in 1987, Glen Danzig (The Misfits) and James Hetfield (Metallica) were being interviewed by Hit Parader magazine. They were asked about other bands music and Danzig replied “I can’t stand the glam shit that’s popular right now. Bands like Poison and Warrant make me want to puke.” Hetfield said ” Metallica isn’t about making videos and looking like crossdressers. That isn’t what metal is about.”

    DThe2nd

  431. DUDES!!!

    I can’t believe how many people have said new stuff is crap. blah blah blah. Without new stuff there wouldn’t be anything! Metallica n shit were all new at one stage and here they are now being amazing!

    I also think ya’ll should be putting more MARILYN MANSON up there. He rocks, he changed my life!

    Correct me if i’m wrong but i have spent hours reading through everything above and there seems to be no DRAGONFORCE!!!! Come on dudes! I mean they rock!

    What do you think?

    xx

  432. I’m going to see Dragonforce and Lacuna Coil in July. From what I’ve seen and heard it should be a good show.

    DThe2nd

  433. Alright alright, i was alittle harsh.. im sorry… that dude that put me down has a point.. i just wanna say one last thing: There are many metal bands out there. Not every one is gonna like the same bands, but ya gotta give props to every single band on this fuckin’ list(no matter how much i hate some of them) props… It takes a lot of work and effort to get it right and do something that people like and to get big…

    but i would like to point out that i am right about how hair metal/glam metal bands(my favorite) have gotten more girls and money then all that stuff that i dont like will ever get… but of course that is not the point…

    im just alittle mad that i didnt see any
    POISON
    MOTLEY CRUE
    RATT
    VAN HALEN
    CINDERELLA
    SKID ROW
    and all the other hair metal bands of the 80’s!!!!!
    on this damn list….

    stay metal everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  434. wheres dream theater??

    As I Am??
    Honor Thy Father??
    The Glass Prison??
    Thew whole Train Of Thought album???

    Geez

  435. OH MY GOD!!!

    DThe2nd where r you going to see DragonForce and Lacuna Coil? I so want to go!

    xx

  436. okay these are all good but the number one sons off all time are: Enter Sandman by Metallica
    Eruption by Van Halen
    Sweet Child ‘o Mine by G n’ R
    She Fuckin’ Hates me by Puddle of Mud
    Crazy Train by Ozzy

  437. I agree with Steph. Puddle Of Mud is bad as Nickelback. (The new Winger) It’s like they said “Hey, we should make up a catchy song (with stolen riffs) and say fuck alot and then we will be edgy and cool.”

    DThe2nd

  438. yeah, they are just as much metal(at least on that song) as queen(there’s a song from them up there)

  439. I have to agree with charby. That one song by puddle of mud is metal. and if you guys actually listened to REAL metal you would know. I’m not sayin they are full metal all the time, in fact i hate them, but that one song is. and queen… not metal, EVER

  440. thanks Drew.. to be honest it seems like it is only us who are actually talking sense. I mean Puddle Of Mudd are hardly metal, they have only just ever so slightly got into the soft rock genre which is still 2 good for them lol.

    Steph xx

  441. But steph, isn’t this true for all bands that turn metal, slowly and gradually making SONGS THAT ARE HARDER(MORE METAL) THAN MOST(FOR EX. sHE FUCKIN’ HATES ME)

  442. That are harder then what? (metal?) if u meant metal then erm well i dont get what you mean.

    Steph xx

  443. DragonForce, Between The Buried & Me, and Lacuna Coil are all bands that are playing The Quest in Minneapolis because Ozzfest was cancelled in Somerset WI. The new Lacuna Coil album is really good and who could back down from a hot chick lead singer with a voice like that?

    I guess there are a few people that like Puddle Of Mud out there. They haven’t put out album in a couple years so maybe that fad has passed. I’m sure glad no one is defending Nickelback or some severe heckling would ensue…

    DThe2nd….

    2 Good Rips:
    Bonescraper – Fear Factory….
    Strictly Diesel – Spineshank

  444. Yer that sounds fantastic! Where is Minneapolis?? a few of my favourite bands are Marilyn Manson, Lacuna Coil and DragonForce! lol

    Steph xx

  445. And that is where? I live in England… I’ve lived in lots of other places including Germany and The Falkland Islands but no where near Minnesoota?!?!?!?

    Steph xx

  446. cum on! what you did so far is great! but missing too much. kinda like a lot of compilation albums these days. but u need more judas priest, megadeth,anthrax (among the living is there best song!), i think you got most of the good iron maiden songs. but i advise you to add “iron Maiden”, “Wicker man”, “fear of the dark”, “Infinite Dreams” and maybe “Wrath Child”. the songs you covered for metallica are pretty good. you need “battery”, “wherever i may roam”, “One”, and “Nothing else matters”. u covered a lot of good songs so i won’t ttly bag on u. well, u should make a list by hand instead of naming songs off the top of your head. is that what you did? cuz it sure looks like it.

  447. Hey Steph. Minnesota is one of the United States Of America. I figured you for a Brit because Lacuna Coil is Italian, and Dragonforce is from the UK I think. I was in Oxford for 6 months during the first Gulf War. I worked with the British Royal Air Force when I was in Kuwait after that. I enjoyed my stay in the UK quite a bit and the Brit GIs that I served with were some sharp chaps.And by the way, I do like Manson’s music. “Beautiful People” makes me drive fast.

    DThe2nd

  448. Wow dude! You rock… yer i think “the beautiful people” is the bets song from manson by far, he is so talented but im sad now because he is an actor instead and im not a big fan of films. He looks totally different from before but oh well, he is still as sexy as ever.

    I don’t mean to be rude but how old are you? (20s, 30s, 40s etc?!) because im actually 13 thats why i was suprised to hear about when you were in the UK because i didn’t know your age.

    Steph xx

  449. Yeah, most of us Gulf War 1 guys are in our 30’s. I’m 35 myself. I must say you have good taste in music for someone so young. Some friends and I have been talking about metal music for the last 2 months. Drawing lines of where metal begins and ends. Just like everyone here we wanted to compose our own list of metal songs. To be on our list, a band has to be an inovator. A band whose style made a mark in music in general. The bands also are not glamorous or extremely popular. Right now we have 50 songs on our list and counting. When we finish the list we are going to put up a new blog where everyone can chat about the bands and music in general. When it’s up I will post the url here as well.

    DThe2nd

  450. That sounds hott!

    I wasn’t bought up to like metal. My mum isn’t into music and my dad likes various artists and genres. I first introduced myself into it i guess when i found out about manson. I was fasinated about his life, himself and his music. Then i just began listenin 2 metal and rock. I really do wish i could meet manson but thats never gonna happen. I love him to bits and okay i no ur a guy but dont u agree with me when i say “manson is really sexy” my m8s think im weird, the way i really like manson but who gives a shit bout what they think. lol

    Steph xx

  451. sorry about that hunni. It was my cousin. He is very into slipknot! I shouldn’t have let him on my account! whoops!

    Steph xxx

  452. The best metal song ever is Paschendale by Iron Maiden. End of discussion. If you have not heard it, HEAR IT NOW!

  453. I had not heard that Iron Maiden song in quite some time so I’m giving Dance Of Death a listen as we speak. Paschendale has great riffs and it’s a good Maiden song no doubt, but the best metal song ever?
    I don’t think I could pick just one song because there are so many different styles of music within metal it would be tough. So some fellow metalheads and myself are putting together our own list. But we are drawing a hard line to what metal is. Songs are put to a vote and the majority decides whether the song is a. metal and b. sick enough to be on the list. We have 30 songs so far and have decided to pick 100.The songs can be released in any year but no band can have no more than 3 songs on our list. I will post the URL when our list/blog is up.

    Did someone mention Dokken ?! Whoa…George Lynch is a good guitarist but Dokken…Metal ? Um..no.

    DThe2nd

  454. How about some songs by DOWN such as Lifer, Temptations Wings or Stone The Crow.

    Also Acid Bath have got some cracking songs.

  455. Let’s settle one thing once and for all. Black Sabbath, along with Deep Purple to a certain extent, forged the ideas of what we now call heavy metal. Sabbath pioneered the idea of horror-influenced lyrics, a staple of heavy metal, and their first two albums, self-titled and Paranoid, are influences to almost every semi-successful metal band since. Secondly, just let the fags live in their own fantasy dreamland where Linkin Park and KORN are the ‘best bands ever’. I would rate my fave metal bands as follows:

    1. Metallica
    2. Black Sabbath
    3. Iron Maiden
    4. Guns N Roses
    5. Megadeth
    6. Van Halen
    7. Judas Priest
    8. Motorhead
    9. Def leppard
    10. Motley Crue

  456. For all you fuckers out there who think you know something about metal, well some of you do. Some of you on the other hand haven’t got a fucking clue. Somebody up there said that Kirk Hammett is the only guy in Metallica who has any talent. Well fuck you. I bet you can’t play the guitar and sing at the same time as well as James Hetfield, or play the bass as raunchy as Robert Trujillo or play the drums as aggressively as Lars Ulrich.
    Let me lay it down to people as it is. I’m including no rock bands in this list. It’s strict metal.
    The top 10 metal bands are as follows:
    1. metallica
    2. pantera
    3. iron maiden
    5. motley crue
    6. judas priest
    7. black sabbath
    8. megadeth
    9. def leppard
    10.trivium

    Slipknot is also high on my list. Them, trivium, and a few other metal bands of today are great, but other than them it all sucks.

  457. You guys are leaving out some great bands such as : Opeth & Evergrey … Dream theater is damn good progressive metal too

  458. dragonforce?

    or would you lot class that as crap?

    if you would then fuck you!

  460. Nils has put together a pretty sick list. Well done, Sir! Although I enjoy Thunderstuck by AC/DC as much I like a spirited drive ( Thunderstruck + Car = Excessive Speed ) it’s not the song I think of where that band made their mark. Just a thought. I saw too
    that the song Jesus Built My Hot Rod is on the list as well. That song is by Ministry and not Primus. (How can you not like Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver?) Ministry is usually thought of as industrial I guess. But there is no doubt of that song’s metal edge.

    And lastly, Def Leppard is not metal. Their last good album came out in 1983. They are like a harder version of Duran Duran. Motley Crue has made a couple of metal songs but most people would call them glam rock.

  461. who ever the fuck said pantera sucks can kiss my ass along with eric cartman. you motherfuckers dissing pantera are going straight to hell along with the other people that put all american rejects on this fuckin page.

    R.I.P. DIMEBAG

  462. Some of you are calling them Megadeath, especially one guy who says they are the best band, well you spelled it wrong as well, its spelled Megadeth you fucks

  463. Some of you are calling them Megadeath, especially one guy who says they are the best band, well you spelled it wrong as well, its spelled Megadeth you fucks and they are a fuckin kick ass band

  464. Quite liked the Metallica (over 8 minutes long) “New song (2006) – live – don’t know what it is called maybe ‘Death is not the end'”. Maybe not classic, but worth a listen, nice riff. Also a warmer sound than St Anger which has some good songs but kind of hurts to listen to after a while – of course the new song is live, so maybe one shouldn’t judge the sound. Good to hear Kirk giving a hot solo.

  465. “Wasted years” by Iron Maiden has a really great and memorable riff. Pity the song itself is kind of generic.

  466. I saw the Lacuna Coil/Dragonforce show last friday and it was pretty cool. On stage , LC is all business and if you get a chance to see them on the Ozzfest Tour I’d take it. Dragonforce is like watching “Spinal Tap”. The lead singer has the I am a metal god swager down. He encouraged and got many girls to flash him and the whole club. Pure metal. The music was good, simple , and strait forward. The only thing I wish they wouldn’t do the keytar solo. Come on , keytars were used by bands like Starship in the 80’s….Ugh.

    Drew The 2nd

  467. MEtallica man they have crazy shit (no new stuff) seek and destroy fight fire with fire hit the lights man these all have crazy riffs and especially the four horse men dont forget wherever i may roam

  468. Best 10 Metal Bands:
    1. Black Sabbath
    2. Iron Maiden
    3. Def Leppard (the early output only! – obviously! after that they were so commercial!)
    4. Ozzy Osbourne
    5. Megadeth
    6. Judas Priest
    7. Motorhead
    8. Metallica
    9. Pantera
    10. Deep Purple (although they’re really just hard rock)

    I also like Witchfinder General.

    Also…although i love Led Zep with a passion..they aren’t metal..i think ‘Immigrant Song’ live is as close as they got to metal..check it out on ‘How the West Was Won’

  469. Line breaks are not working (I am a guest and/or linux/bsd mozilla problems, with my client) —->

    There are no great bands only great songs. The “captian crunch” decoder ring to this page is to find the Metallica song that the poster has selected and if it agrees with your taste ‘sample’ songs from the rest of their posting.

    If anyone has songs they would recommend that are similar let me know. I have listen to a lot of metal (all forms), death metal, celtic stuff, etc, some is okay, but I do not the like the guttural singing of death or the over the top singing of power metal. Good luck finding music YOU like.

    Sodom- Christ Passion
    Kreator- Pleasure to Kill
    Sepultura- Beneath the Remains

    Pantera- Heresy
    Forbidden- Forbidden Evil
    Nuclear Assault- Game Over
    Anvil- 666
    Hirax- Bombs of Death
    and many more…..

    These (mind you) are not my only favourites. These were just ones that were on the tip of my tongue. I hope to see some of these posted.

  473. What about the real metal bands like Def Leppard, Ratt, and Lucky Boys confusion?

  474. Hi. I posted here a few weeks back and haven’t come up with a list of the best songs/bands yet. But, i have to post something that I have been thinking. I noticed that people who post here, for the most part, catagorize how good metal is by how old it is. Metal isn’t wine and it doesn’t get better with age. People hear just one or two newer metal songs that aren’t very good and then label all metal that comes out from now on as bad. They miss out on all the qualiy songs of now. I don’t care how old a song is or when it was made. I only care about if I like it. And if I do, I will listen to it. I’m starting to think that if slipknot, korn, system of a down, avenged sevenfold, and all the other newer metal bands came out in the 70’s-80’s and sounded just like they do now, and of black sabbath, metallica, iron maiden, megadeth, pantera, and all the older metal bands came out now, sounding just like they do now, people would say that slipknot and system of a down are the best bands ever and that black sabbath, metallica, and iron maiden suck. They would think that because iron maiden and metallica would be new and not be just like the slipknot and system of a down they grew up with. Think about it. Stop stereotyping metal because of age and start listening to quality of the song. I love all metal, 70’s through now, and people should be able to like all metal also. That’s it for now, but please, think about what i said.

  475. I totally agree. Im not as old as many of the people here (im nearly 14) so i get really annoyed when people say that new shit is crap… it’s not!

    Steph xx

  476. Mr. Odor has the right idea. I’ve seen plenty of people that come on here and say the newer bands suck and then include Def Leppard and Ratt on their lists. Both of these bands have never been metal.

    Looking at the bands that are popular now I really can’t stand the band HIM. Without this band Hot Topic stores wouldn’t have anything to sell. The music is kinda bland, no real original riffs, and they suck live. Avenged Sevenfold is band that alot of people have metioned on their lists. They have a good sound and image but I just can’t get into them. I don’t know why. But it’s not for a lack of trying.

    Drew The 2nd….

    Metal Album Goodness:
    Nothingface – Everyday Atrocity
    -Spineshank – The Height Of Callousness
    -Fear Factory – Archetype

  477. Hey, i just noticed the response to my comment. Steph, actually I am 14, gonna be 15 in October, so I am also not as old as many of the peole here are. And although I like alot more of the older stuff, the new stuff isn’t crap. In response to the avenged sevenfold comment, I like 2 songs, but that’s it. Bat country and beast and the harlot. The rest, umm, arent anywhere near as good. I was very happy at their performance at ozzfest though. I live in Michigan, hence I went to the Detroit Ozzfest on Wednesday the 19th. The main reason I loved their performance was the fact that they played my favorite pantera song, walk, and did very well. They said it was one of their favorite bands and one of their biggest inspirations. Also, I also hate HIM, as it is nothing but a gothic band that does nothing that hasn’t been done 1000 times before, each time better than their stuff. I am very happy at most new metal bands in one respect above all, the fact that solos are starting to slowly come back.

    A fan of all metal.

    Lethal-Odor

  478. Welcome Mr. Odor. You are wise beyond your years.Steph and I were talking about Lacuna Coil and Dragonforce. I got to check both bands out at a club here back on the 13th. Ozzfest was cancelled at Somerset ,WI so some of the bands did club shows in Minneapolis. Lacuna Coil tore it up live so I was wondering if you got to see them at Ozzfest? The album Karma Code is worth a listen or two.

    Drew The 2nd
    Maple Grove, Minnesota

  479. Thx Drew. Yes, I did get to see Lacuna Coil and Dragonforce at Ozzfest. Both were amazing. I missed most of dragonforce though, because i was in line for a $3.50 bottle of water…. The only songs I saw dragonforce play were through the fire and flames and valley of the damned. Lacuna Coil came right after dragonforce. They are all business on stage, but I only knew 1 of their songs prior to Ozzfest, and that is Our truth. Since I couldn’t hear them say the names of the songs, I wondered if you could tell me other great Lacuna Coil songs. I liked all of the ones they played, I just don’t know what they are. There is another thing on my mind–is walk the like “traditional” cover song at Ozzfest? I ask this because avenged sevenfold played it this year and disturbed played it in 2003, although i wasn’t there.

    Lethal-Odor

  480. You know I think Karmacode is the band’s best album so far. I say that without listening to their first album which I am downloading right now. So buying Karmcode I think is a worth while investment. Finding a great album is so rare these days it nice to know there are bands still making them. Here are some of their best songs:

    1. Our Truth
    2. Fragile
    3. To The Edge
    4. You Create/What I see
    5. Devoted
    6. The Game ****
    7. Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode cover)
    8. Heaven Is A Lie (From The album Comalies)
    9. Closer
    10.Fragments Of Faith

  481. Hi am really old (over four score), but its a relief to see a civil conversation on this page. I read through people’s comments to try and discover a short cut to some good metal. Since I already have all: Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Iron Maiden its not much use to me when people continue to post these bands – although I may agree with some of their selections. Still, I am looking for new acts – so if folks say that all the new stuff is crap – that’s pretty useless to me. I will download Lacuna Coil and see how it goes – I really like Nightwish and I am told they have some similarities. Thanks.

  484. Therapy . . . hmmm . . . maybe you should consider . . . just a thought . . .

  485. I’ve read the entire list and my favorite metal band was definately listed…Megadeath, but their best song (in my opinion) wasn’t “Blood Of Heroes.” Dio’s Last in line, The chains are on also kick ass.

  490. You all fuckin suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LED ZEPPELIN AND AS I LAY DYING ARE THE BEST FUCKIN BANDS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  491. the best metal band ever been is Metallica; but there are some other kickin’ ass band like Dream evil,kiss,judas priest,motorhead,twested sister…
    i mean the gods of metal!

  492. Elias names Metallica as the best metal band there has ever been. And while I’m still not forgiving them for St Anger and kicking Jason Newstead out of the band I will agree that Metallica has produced some excellent metal music. From Kill Em All to And Justice For All they produced music that is the very definition of what metal is.

    But I guess I think that Iron Maiden,Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest were so ahead of their time they deserve a little more cred.

    And ok…Aerosmith IS NOT metal! Ugh. And enough with the KISS already! Not Metal. They are overated glam rock. Sorry. I just can’t stand KISS. There I’ve said it. Gene Simmons goes around calling himself a rock god. Alright 4 chord Gene you go with that.

    Drew The 2nd

  493. I still can’t believe that Sabbath inflicted Technical Ecstasy on us – and that was with Ozzie. I also think Kiss is hugely over-rated. Deuce is quite good though.

    The opening three minutes of Hell Awaits by Slayer has some of the most interesting power chord and rhythm combinations.

  494. Since I was just a kid when KISS was popular I didn’t remember some of their songs. I owned KISS Destroyer on 8 Track when I was 9. That album is really as good as they get. I am listening to Deuce,Strutter, and Black Diamond as we speak. Deuce is pretty good. I hadn’t heard that song in about 10 years. I liked Black Diamond because The Replacements covered it on their Let It Be album. (1983) I had never heard the KISS verison until I got drug to one of the neverending farewell tours. (99)

    My hatred of KISS stems from my best friend’s obsession with them. He spends thousands of dollars on KISS shit every year and dresses like Paul Stanley every Halloween.(Even though he is married I accuse him of being gay anyway.) Also all the albums released after and including Crazy Nights are steaming turds.

    And so ends my KISS rant…

    no1 has been talking about great white,iggy pop, the darkness. whats up with that??

  498. Some band u guys should check out

    Slash’s snakepit, Brides of Destruciton…

    no1 has been talking about great white,iggy pop, the darkness. whats up with that??

  499. Hey, it’s Lethal again. I’ve been on here for over a month now, and I’ve read most of the posts. I am totally baffled as to why no one has mentioned Helmet and Hatebreed. Helmet may not be the most popular band of all time, but unsung is a great song. Hatebreed on the other hand is very popular. Alot of their stuff is a little to screamy for me, but alot of it is great and the rocked Ozzfest this year. Just a thought.

  500. Metallica… from thrash metal songs like The Four Horsemen and Master of Puppets to ballads like The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters and even bluesy/country influences in Load and Reload (sure its not their best albums but at least theyre willing to try new things and besides blues is where rock started and metal comes from rock so you could say that Load and Reload was back to the roots of what evovled into the genre of Metal)Also one of the best lineups of all time Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett and Burton. Cant wait till their new album, which i hope is something more alike to their thrash roots

  501. Check out new song by metallica, ironically you will have to download it but im sure metallica will forgive you

  502. Scott – I think you need to rethink your list a bit. You have alot of glam rock on your list. I don’t even know what you were thinking about putting Aerosmith and Def Leppard down as metal bands. Ugh. And of course you have Kiss and GNR on there too. How fucking boring. The scope of your list seems pretty safe. Bands like Slayer,Anthrax,Megadeth, Overkill, Metal Church, and Helloween were all making real metal music during the same time period. You may want check out some of the other lists from the other folks on the site.

    I guess Scott bringing up GNR brings me to opinion about that band. I was a huge fan of the A.for D. album back in high school. I actually bought the vinyl of that one for some reason. But I think I’ve moved beyond GNR because I’ve heard all of their best songs so many times I have no reason to hear them again. And of course you have Axl Rose going around biting people…It’s like he doesn’t live in reality.

    Alright, until next time…

  504. im fucking 19 yrs old, and i didnt see any fucking Twisted Sister, W.A.S.P., this site suppose to be about the greates metal song of all the time, and i just see fucking new song and crapy bands

  505. This argument is very pointless. First of all, there’s always someone who says “this band is the best metal band” which may or may not be true. The best metal band and songs could only be determined by votes, and then in the end its just a bunch of numbers. Everyone has different tastes. Using words like “best” or “greatest” isn’t proving any points. Using non-biased points are the best way to express a point and elaborate on bands. I hate those diehard fans that say that crappy songs are good just because they are by their fav bands. Even the best bands write bad songs.

  506. Someone put “A touch of evil” number one which shows amazong taste…

    “Beyond the realms of death” is another great Judas Priest song…

    “Fade to Black” is my favourite song of all time very closely followed by “Wasted Years” by Iron Maiden” and more power/opera metal is Nightwish’s amazing “Elvenpath”.

  507. Someone was saying that they couldn’t wait for the new Metallica album to come out. I haven’t bought a Metallica album since 91 after they went main stream.

    Metallica has made the music that defined me as a teenager. They were the band that showed up to photoshoots in tore up jeans,t-shirts, and middle fingers up. They hated most other bands that were out during the 80’s and they didn’t make videos.
    I knew that an era had ended the day that a friend who had listened to country his whole life showed me his new copy of Load and said “Have you heard this band Metallica? They’re purrty good for
    a rock band.” That’s when I knew my band had changed forever.

    I understand that bands change over time and that it’s hard to keep making making money just selling records but the band has changed too much. The 1986 verison of Metallica would puke at the thought of their 1996 counterparts. They slipped into Bob Rock’s School Of Making Money. So in sumation, I’d download the new shit and use your money for a new poster or something.

    Two other bands that were mentioned were Great White and The Darkness.(WTF) I’m not even going to say anything…It’s just too absurd.

    Alright, I’m out. I gotta work on my website so I can launch it already. I am glad that 97% of people get what a great METAL song is. Alot people’s lists here have me listening to alot of great stuff. Some of which I have never heard. Thanks to Steph, Monad , Lethal , and new guy Iron
    Angel for the intelligent dialogue. I’ll post the URL of my site when I launch. This will feature The Sick Metal 100 as those who help complied it now call it. Everyone can pick it apart in the forum. There will also be links to my new web venture which features the best audio equipment made. Alright this has been

    PS Karl, you started this thing…Look at what it’s become…

  508. Hey, it’s Lethal again. I’m here to post my favorite bands in alphabetical order. Since this is off the top of my head, I may miss a few. Also, these are MY FAVORITE BANDS, NOT YOURS, SO DON’T HAVE A SEIZURE AT ME ABOUT HOW I FORGOT THIS, HOW THIS SUCKS, OR ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

  509. Ok 1 Thing I Have Noticed About All Metal Fans Is Dat You Guys R All Wrapped Up In Ur Own Music And Dat If Sum1 Doesnt Like Da Same Music As U Guys U Put Them Down U Have To Open Ur Eyes Up And Actually Listen To Different Music Like I Understand If U Dont Like Pop And Rap And Espically Emo But U Must Open Ur Range In Da Rock Area Cos It Is Massive There R So Many Diff Styles especialy In Metal Like Death Metal, HEavy MEtal, Nu Metal etc There R So Many Diff Generes U Gotta Listen To Dem All Jst Cos There Not 80’s Metal Doesnt Mean U Dnt Give them A Chance And Let The Newer Bands Have A Go
    !!! Um By Da Way Children Of Bodom Are The Best Metal Band Of This Era They Flog All Other Younger Metal Bands But U Cant Go Past The Classics Like AC/DC, Gun’s And Roses, Iron Madien, Judas Priest etc So YEah I Hope U Guys Get My Point

    P.S Metal For Life

  510. Yet again, it’s Lethal. In response to the Metallica comment, I agree….mostly. The Black Album was Metallica’s last good album. Load and Reload….well more like load of crap. Garage Inc. was O.K., their covers were for the most part better than the originals, but it wasn’t like 80’s – early 90’s Metallica. S&M was great, except for the load-reload songs. And finally St.Anger. I would have loved it if it was from some new band, but the thing that made it suck was that this C-tuned, Sololess music was from Metallica. But, I do have a little faith in the new album. I haven’t heard the “new song” but I don’t need to. Metallica has ditched Bob Rock and now has Rick Rubin as their producer. He has always been Slayer’s producer, by the way. He is also known for making bands that were good at one time good again. At the very least, if it has solos, it will be better than St.Anger.

    AND SLIPKNOT!! (the noise army)
    oh yeah…and any rap music can lick my balls:D

  513. Anyone who rates “Houses of the Holy” gets my respect. So I’ll give a response to this particular post.

    Metallica: The first song I ever heard by Metallica was “Creeping Death” on the radio. I was into Ozzie and the new Black Sabbath (Tony Martin stuff – basically generic crap), but this was a new dimension. I still consider “Creeping Death” one of my favourite all time metal songs. “Kill ’em all” was the first album of theirs that I bought. Production on it is pretty shocking, but there were three songs I really enjoyed: Four horsemen, No remorse and Seek and Destroy. This is just taste, but I think “Kill ’em all” is a bit eratic – promise of things to come. I understand why many early Metallica fans dislike Load and Reload, but I think they are both stronger than St Anger. I think they are a departure for the band, but I find them quite interesting – and they are still a hell of a lot heavier than many of the bands posted on this web-page.

    Led Zeppelin: Awesome band. At the time they were the heaviest thing around, along with Deep Purple and Sabbath (Uriah Heep was also quite popular in the genre – also Grand Funk). Along with Houses of the Holy, I really enjoy Physical Graffiti and In through the out door. Are they heavy metal – well not by today’s standards. Nevertheless songs like Fade to Black and Cemetary Gates (Pantera) are the same type of songs as Stairway to Heaven and no-one can seriously argue with the metal foundation of a song like Black Dog.

    Iron Maiden: I think Maiden are good, I listen to them, but they also disappoint. A lot of high points and low points. To me a song like Wasted Years is both brilliant and a disappointment. That riff is awesome, but the song itself is just OK. I often just go to beginning and skip to the middle of the song and listen to the riff. “Hallowed be thy name” is all time brilliant of course.

    Since you recommend them I will give Children of Bodom and Dragonforce a chance. But then, I also think that you are missing Pantera. “Vulgar Display of Power” is great if you’re in a bad mood. Also Slayer should not be shot. They have made a legitimate contribution to metal – “South of Heaven” and “Seasons in the Abyss” are probably their most mature albums.

    Currently the bands that I am listening to the most are Dio and Nightwish (Finnish) – get the End of an Era DVD.

    Incidently, if Drew the 2nd reads this, I downloaded Karmacode by Lacuna Coil. It is growing on me. . .

  524. Moving Pictures by Rush is very good and though not pure metal has many metal elements. There is no reason why an open-minded metalhead wouldn’t enjoy this album. Red Barchetta is brilliant.

  531. If you don’t have Iced Earth: Dark Saga. Get it! Made in 1996, I just downloaded this, best album I’ve heard in ages.

  532. LONG LIVE PANTERA PANTERA 4 EVER PANTERA ARE KINGS HARDCORE THRASH PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  533. OK. I have downloaded all the Dragonforce and Children of Bodom. Children of Bodom are very good, no question. I really like them. “Needled 24-7” is cool. I’m still wading through their stuff, it takes awhile, but they’re worth the time.

    Dragonforce. . . well I can see why people like them, but they are a bit too “singable”, technically good, but just not raw enough for my tastes. This is a stylistic objection – their songs are melodically good, I guess, but they remind me of football anthems in a metal wrapper – a bit “middle of the road” and commercial. Not unlike “Hammerfall” who also sound great until they start singing. Still, I have “Valley of the Damned”, “Sonic firestorm” and “Inhuman rampage.” I haven’t listened to them all, maybe there are some gems as yet undiscovered. . .

  534. And yes, Anselmo . . . Pantera are legends of metal . . . but I also like metallica . . . sorry . . .

  535. Monad… I return because of you. Because you mentioned my favorite band Rush. Although most people wouldn’t consider them metal but like Led
    Zeppelin they created some of the most imaginative and complex music ever put to vinyl. And when you think of the best musicians in rock Lee, Lifeson , and Peart are on a lot of lists.

    Anyway, glad you dug Lacuna Coil. That band has chops. Anytime I find a band that can put out a whole album of good music I typically wanna tell everyone about it.

    Alright , time to transend…

    Drew The 2nd

  536. I have just backed up “limelight” and “the weapon” on windows media player. Rush have something special, no question. Cheers.

  537. Just adding a few to the list – I’m a classic metal fan at heart (Ozzy, Metallica, Pantera, etc), but just wanting to turn some attention to some new / non-classic stuff that’s worth a listen:

    according to rafael_rodra

  540. most everybodys picks are good but whats all this bullshit, dont get pissed because someone doesnt think metallica is the greatest (they are definately in the top 5 on my list though) to each his own. And to all those people who think led zepplin wasnt the start of metal, i used to think the same thing(truth is Black Sabbath just made it dark, sort of modernized it)just look to interviews with tony iommi, he himself said it, he even considered sab to be hard rock.(although the term metal wasnt even invented back then)anyway here is just a list of my favorite guitar players(off the top of my head so forgive me, because i am leaving out dozens of greats) ill post my metal list another day

    1. Yngwie Johan Malmsteen(black star may be his most famous solo but he has a least a dozen other solos that are just as good if not better check out the Concerto cd or dvd BRILLIANT)

    2. Eddie Van Halen(what can you say about ed he may not be as talented as some others on this list but back in the 80s everyone who played a guitar was rippin his style)

    3.Michael Angelo Batio(fuckin blazingly fast)

    4.Ritchie Blackmore(listen to Mistreated the live version, Gates of Babylon and Child in Time)

    5.Randy Rhodes(possibly the greatest if he was still around)

    6.David Gilmour(Dave Mustaine said it best “Dave can do more with one note than most guitar players can do with an entire fretboard” true check out Shine on you Crazy Diamond,Time and Money)

    7.Joe Satriani

    8.Jason Becker and Marty Friedman

    9.Steve Morse

    10.Steve Vai(check out G3s Keep on Rockin in the Free world with steve and yngwie)

    11.Paul Gilbert

    12.Vinnie Moore(some may call him an Yngwie rip off but he can still shred)

    13.K.K. Downing and Glen Tipton(Beyond the Realms of Death)

    14.Dave Murray and Adrian Smith

    15.Michael Schenker

    well there it is just some of my favorites off the top of my head. please post some of your favorite guitar players because i dont have time to list all of them (it would take me a week)oh yeah and check out the metal band Nocturnal Rites if you like Irom Maiden youll like these guys

  541. I have listened to pretty much all of Iced earth and they are truly awesome. I can take or leave “Glorious Burden” but all their other albums are worth the effort. If you don’t have this band, and you like early Metallica and Iron Maiden, be open to these guys, you won’t regret it. Listen to “Travel in Stygian.” This is where Metallica should have taken us in the 1990s. Hours of headbanging fun!

    I have just listened to half of “Clayman” by “in flames”. I understand that their music has taken a different direction recently, but whatever, I’ve heard enough to know these guys are something special.

  542. Its Lethal again. Just 1 quick comment. One band I have only seen once on this blog is Testament. These guys rock, yet they have only been listed once. This is totally baffling. The person WAY UP THERE listed over the wall as their Testament song. Great song, but check out Practice What You Preach. I just found the song recently. Reminds me of 80’s Metallica. The guitar riff is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Somehow, listen to it. You’ll thank me later.

    Lethal-Odor

  543. METALLICA ARE THE MOST OVERRATED MUSICAL ARTIST IN HISTORY , THE ONLY HALF DECENT WORK THEY EVER DID WAS FROM THE BLACK ALBUM WITH A COUPLE LISTENABLE SONGS , ON THE OTHER HAND PANTERA WERE VERY UNDER RATED , PANTERA WERE IN A LEAUGE OF THERE OWN, THERE WAS NO OTHER BAND LIKE THEM AND WILL NEVER BE , PANTERA IS METAL!

  544. And yet most Metallica fans would consider the Black Album to be one of their weaker albums. Maybe you are missing something . . . I think you are caught up in the Pantera “sound” which is certainly unique and powerful, but there are a lot of other good metal acts out there. I mean Pantera only have five decent studio albums. That’s not much music.

  545. Monad and Lethal… I greet you in kind. You guys mentioned the bands Testament and In Flames. I had to replace my Testament because all had were 20 year old cassettes and no tape player. But Testament is a great band but kinda underground like Helloween and Metal Church. Some of the lesser known bands put out some great stuff.

    I see ANSELMO really loves Pantera. I understand as I too enjoy the cowboys from hell. But there are some newer bands like In Flames , Nothingface , and the ever awesome FEAR FACTORY. These bands have put out some really great albums recently so if anyone is looking for newer music here ya go.

    9 weeks until the FEAR FACTORY show !

    Alright

  547. Simply Red are fair heavy arent they?
    I would have to say panic at the disco, simple plan and the way heaviest crazy arse metal gods are AFI… Hey miss murder… Fucking oath yeah.
    Eskimo Joe are fair crazy but my parents have banned me from listening to them. You guys all need to get the maddest heavy shit ever that will blow the fuck outta your sound system, the people are so heavy that pantera and slayer couldnt even listen to them, they are called The Bangles with their mad hit walk like an egyptian.

  548. I am into extremly heavy underground melodic death metal from sweden. This shit is heavier than you would have ever heard because once you hear it, your fucken eardrums will rupture.

    This is the list (be warned)!!!

    Svénka Grave – Corpse Warfare (Extended Version)
    Svénka Grave – Of Hell and Oblivion
    Svénka Grave – Forest Massacre (Caution!!!)

    Múlag Mustahg – Immortal Bone Souljáhs
    Múlag Mustahg – Abnormal Ass Baby growth
    Múlag Mustahg – Dance Of The Crackskull Klan

    GodflesH – Mount Death
    GodflesH – Ravens Of Sin (Uncut 7:53 vers.)
    GodflesH – Infernal Lacerations
    GodflesH – Call Of The Necro’s

    Most of these songs are banned in the U.S. and nearly all are banned in Asia. If anyone wants to hear a sample I can send you copies of some of the songs from my cds and email me if you want to know some of the sites where you can sample the songs.

    BE WARNED: Extremely heavy, I am not responsible for the death of anyone who has listened to the tracks listed here.

  549. Google gave more or less zero information for these bands (I presume GodflesH is not the Birmingham industrial metal outfit that disbanded a few years ago). I don’t write letters. Would you care to just post the relevant websites here?

  550. Testament has been listed more then once on this page.

  553. I see the songs,many of i didn’t know,thank you for that.

    Now first things first,lets see the fathers of the music we like

    1.Elvis Presley,he was the father of Rock’n’Roll

    2.Jim Morrison(Doors)was the father of Rock

    3.Jimmi Hedrix was the father of Metal(A journalist once wrote after writing a story about Hedrix,Listening to Hedrix is like a Metal falling from the sky).

    You help me continue this list.

  554. A melody maker article on heavy metal in 1974 suggested that the Kinks song “you really got me” (1964) with its repetitive riff was the first genuine metal song. It is a riff that was echoed in Cocaine (JJ Cale – not at all metal) and Sunshine of your love (Cream – Hendrix contemporaries). The article also noted that although metal is derived from blues, genuine metal is not blues. The article also named the following bands as metal: Status Quo (???); Black Sabbath and Grand Funk. Go figure…

  555. i always thought (whole lotta love led zep) was the first metal song relesed 1968, what do you all think

  556. going back to the pantera vs metallica debut , i love my metal brutal, lyrically understandable , with metallica most of there songs start of with a heap of potential but die of just a min or so into the song, james just simply does not have the balls to deliver raw power like phil does, its has simple has that , scary thing is phil has up the tempo with superjoint ritual the man is a LIVING LEGEND.

  557. James Hetfield’s voice is probably shot and I don’t think he will ever be as guttaral as on earlier albums and certainly he never matched the “death grunt” of Anselmo. That sort of thing is pretty much a matter of taste though. “In flames”, “Children of Bodom” and “Opeth” vocalists are probably closer to Anselmo in this respect. How about the chap with Soulfly – I can’t stick him myself – but if you like that sort of thing…

    With regard to “Whole lotta love” (actually 1969) it was probably one of the first commercially accessible metal songs, but remember it only appeared on Led Zeppelin II (Oct 1969) which means – staying with Led Zeppelin – that a song like “Communication Breakdown” (Jan 1969) would have been earlier.

    Black Sabbath’s first album came out in 1970. Shades of Deep Purple came out in September 1968. The only song that might qualify as metal on that is “Mandrake Root” which has a couple of cool riffs.

    Steppenwolf’s first album was released in January 1968 and “Born to be wild” certainly has some sort of a claim since it is the origin of the term “heavy metal” – the line actually being “heavy metal thunder” referring I believe to the roar of motorcycles approaching.

    Cream’s “sunshine of you love” was 1967 and someone else suggested the Rolling Stones and “satisfaction” (May 1965).

    Oh well, enough on that. . .

  558. k so ya uve made sum good choices on their i might suggest some death metal like Children of Bodom or Unearth and i agree with ur other commenters that u need some Led Zeppelin on there

  564. METALLICA ARE THE MOST OVERRATED MUSICAL ARTIST IN HISTORY , THE ONLY HALF DECENT WORK THEY EVER DID WAS FROM THE BLACK ALBUM WITH A COUPLE LISTENABLE SONGS , ON THE OTHER HAND PANTERA WERE VERY UNDER RATED , PANTERA WERE IN A LEAUGE OF THERE OWN, THERE WAS NO OTHER BAND LIKE THEM AND WILL NEVER BE , PANTERA IS METAL

  565. please don’t cut and paste, it’s very boring . . . saying the same thing twice does not make an argument more convincing.

  566. i have to try and get you all to understand that pantera were not just a rock band they were a relgion

  567. Lethal yet again. A few things to say. rafeal_rodra, STOP PUTTING YOUR TOP 100 ON HERE TIME AFTER TIME. IT NEVER CHANGES, IT TAKES A LOT OF ROOM, AND IT’S BORING! STOP! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS CALLED? SPAMMING-PEOPLE DON’T LIKE IT! O.K., that’s over. Now Anselmo, while Pantera is on the top 5 of my favorite bands, you’ve insulted my favorite band-Metallica. Far from overrated. Sure, load-reload were bad. Who cares. They have put out way more great stuff than pantera. While they are in my top 5, they get beat out by Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Slayer. Yep, they are #5. So they are your #1. Wow. Guess what, EVERYONE IS NOT YOU! NOW, I DON’T GIVE ONE OF THEY ARE YOUR FAVORITE. PEOPLE DISAGREE! AND I DON’T THINK THAT ME–OR THE OTHERS- ARE GONNA CHANGE THEIR FAVORITE BAND TO PANTERA BECAUSE YOU SAY THAT THEY ARE THE BEST AND YOU INSULT EVERY OTHER BAND. NOW, STFU AND MOVE ON. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

  568. take it easy son , i’m just having a bit of fun , hey that rymes , anyways has i was saying the bottom line is metllica and pantera are 2 completely diff bands , ones thrash and the other is heavy rock , i tend to love thrash/hardcore , most people go for heavy rock , so metllica are the worlds #1 rock band i just dont like there songs i dont like jasons voice i hate lars with a passion , does this make me a freak you be the judge either way i dont give a shit , i’v said it 1001 times before i’ll say it again PANTERA WERE NOT A ROCK BAND THEY WERE AND STILL ARE A RELGION! i rest my case .

  569. Just for the record, Jason doesn’t sing. He’s not even in the band anymore. (He was the old bassist) James Hetfield sings, and before load, he was great. And by the way, Metallica are considered thrash. Oh yeah. By a long shot. Have you ever heard of the big 4 of thrash? They are Anthrax, early Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer.
    Go to this link and click on key artists. It’s at the top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_Of_Thrash
    Pantera isn’t thrash, as thrash is catagorized by speed. Pantera were generally not fast. Just really heavy.

  570. monad: If you like Testament you should look into early Exodus and ST.

    Suicidal
    suicidal tendencies – how can i laugh tomorrow
    suicidal tendencies – institutionalized
    suicidal tendencies – nobody hears
    suicidal tendencies – trip at the brain
    suicidal tendencies – you cant bring me down

    Exodus
    exodus – bonded by blood
    exodus – like father like son
    exodus – low rider
    exodus – piranha
    exodus – strike of the beast
    exodus – toxic waltz

  571. i meant to say james sorry , so i’v been fed wrong info for all these years about pantera’s music, most metal heads i know regaurd them as thrash but you know best right? to me metallica are a hair band just like poison wasp etc , there a bunch of wanna be’s , if you wanna listen to raw brutal THRASH metal you listen to pantera/superjoint , and has for u bernie, its a forum not a UN confrence , lighten up buddy.

  572. I know all about internet trolls. YHBT YHL HAND
    But constantly putting a large amount of *cough* SPAM can me also called spamming. As bernie said, Suicidal Tendencies are very good. Just get the album “How can I Laugh Tomorrow If I Can’t Even Smile Today” and you will be all set monad. Trip at the brain is my 2nd favorite ST song, followed by Pledge Your Allegiance. Although if you listen, Trip At The Brain’s riff is an exact copy of Master Of Puppets. I just dled Exodus’s cover of Low Rider and loved it, so I wanna check more of their stuff out now.
    Also, Metallica are NOT a Hair Band and NOT WANNABE’s.

    Lethal

  573. I’ll get hold of exodus and ST but it’ll have to wait till October, I’ve flattened all my accounts. Thanks.

    If metallica is heavy rock, that would make ACDC country and western . . . Elvis Presley is a nine year old soprano. . . and Michael Jackson is a canary who wants to play with Elvis. . .

  574. Incidentally Anselmo sometimes uses electronic enhancements to give a harsher tone. This is very evident at the end of “fucking hostile” when he repeats the word “fucking” over and over with increased intensity. Stick your own voice through a distortion pedal and you’ll get the same effect. I’m not against this, use whatever gives you the sound you wanna get. As far as guitar sounds go, there is no mystery about playing heavy or “brutal” . . . any idiot can do it. . . just tweak a couple of dials, add a couple of effects and you’re there.

  575. anslemo live without any enhancements what so ever is = if not better than the recorded stuff , seeing the band live was a life changing experince , i’m not the only 1, so many pantera die hards have the same recollection, he is a metal god , from ballads like “this love” to hair raising classics like “goddamn electric”

  576. Lethal: It could be construed as spamming as well especially the repeat song list posting, I sit corrected.

  577. Just wanted to say sry to rafeal_rodra. I didn’t mean to insult your list. It was great. Just….You put it on like 3 or 4 times and it got annoying. I love probably 95% of the songs on the list. Just, if your gonna make a list 1 time is enough.
    Lethal

  578. MORBID ANGEL
    DEATH
    AMON AMARTH
    NILE
    DYING FETUS

  579. First off alot of stuff I like alot I dont that doesnt matter… But you wanna hear some twisted, sick, crazy stuff look up band Called GWAR

  580. My top songs would be:
    Metallica:Enter Sandman,Of wolf and man, some kind of monster and sad but true

    Guns ‘N’ Roses: Paradise City and Welcome to the jungle,

    Black sabbath: Iron man

    Ozzy: Crazy train

    Iron Maiden: Run to the hills

  581. Just spent a few hours reading through the comments so far, and there are a few glaring ommissions.

    The Corrosion of Conformity (COC) album from the early 90s, “Blind”, contains some killer tracks:

    Damned for all Time
    Vote with a Bullet
    White Noise

    and COCs latest “In the Arms of God” is a good return to form.

    and here are a few of my other fav songs off the top of my head from the 80s and early 90s that no seems to have mentioned yet.

    Warrior – Fighting for the Earth
    Spread Eagle – Suzy Suicide
    Wrathchild – Stakk Attakk
    Godflesh – Like Rats
    Obituary – Slowly We Rot
    Discharge – Protest and Survive
    DRI – Slum Lord
    Faith No More – Surprise! You’re Dead!
    Kyuss – Asteroid
    Melvins – Honey Bucket
    Monster Magnet – Spine of God
    WASP – Blind in Texas
    Ozzy – Miracle Man
    Quiet Riot – Metal Health
    Stryper – To Hell with the Devil (lol)

    i know there’s some cross-over stuff here, but it’s all good!

  582. Beano:
    Some other crossover/punk.

    DRI – Suit And Tie Guy
    Cryptic Slaughter – Altered Visions
    Minor Threat – Minor Threat
    RKL – It’s a Beautiful Feeling
    GBH – Knife Edge

    bernie724

  583. thanks Bernie!

    DRI’s ‘4 of a Kind’ was one of my fav albums at one point, and got into GBH, Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, SOD, Government Issue, early ST and the mighty Bad Brains at different times in the 80s.

  588. the best songs ever are
    tarrantella napoelatana – greatest italian mob hits and gookhead magee
    and i also like dead gook on the road by the slant eyed fairies thats really good i love the trumpet solo

  589. best metal song of all time would have to be rock & roll all nite (kiss) don’t you all agree

  590. id have to disagree metaltillimsixty, i agree its a great song, but there are plenty of rock songs that just rock harder. But i can comfterably say that Kiss was a kick ass band, but not best rock songs i’ve heard.

  591. by the way, i just wanted to know, true or false, Dragon Force is the fastest rock band ever. i dont know there may be others but i was interested if there was a band faster.

  592. Children of Bodom – Hate me, Everytime I die, Bodom beach terror, Bastard of Bodom. I like these guys more everyday. Damn, they’re good!

  593. wow you guys are way into metel huh me not so much i Love metallica and Black sabbath and System of a down and korn but im more of an oldies girl myself i really like:
    Led zepplin
    Lynard skynard
    Bob marley
    Rolling Stones
    Steve miller band
    ect.
    Do any of you guys listen to anything besides metel?

  594. those are pretty good bands, anna, but i hate to brake it to you….this is the greatest METAL songs of all time, but to answer you, yes i do. The who, Bob marley, louis armstrong, green day, black eyed peas, boston, Bon jovi, cold play, the eagles, creedence clear water, elton john, steppenwolf, journey, santana, the verve, the rolling stones,and U2. lots of artist i know but each artist has at least one song that catches my interest….

  595. If anything can be said the most well rounded and nonbiased intelligent list on heavy metal is courtest of digital dreamdoor.com, which offers a comprehensive list chronicling both the anthems and the important classics of the genre, from masterpieces like Iron Maiden’s Hallowed be thy name and Judas Priest’s Victim of changes and Beyond the realms of death, to underrated masterpieces like Accept’s Fast as a shark and We are Stars by Hear N aid. It’s alos nice to see a list so unbiased that it dosen’t feel that Metallica has to be written all over the list, oh yes, this great metal group, gets there proper due, Master of Puppets in the top 5, One and Fade to black, top 20, but it does not get ridiculous. And some of the choices make a rock fan’s eyes water, like Diamond head’s incomparable, AM I eVIL? AT NUMBER 21, OR sabbath classics like Heaven and hell and symptom of the universe, Priest hits like the electric eye and Painkiller, and all the others. Thankfully the list does not include too many new acts, probally because these songs have not had time to prove themselves as of yet, as cultural touchstones, and there are nods on this and there previous list to some sadly forgotten metal from classic acts like Dokken(The Hunter) and Wasp(Wild Child), and how about a list that includes on the margins classics like Killed by death by Motorhead,Devil’s island by Megadeth and that Rhandy Rhodes masterwork, Revelation:Mother Earth by Ozzy.
    This is the list I follow, and I strongly reccomend it to any serious metal fan with a brain.

  596. OK, fine. Its a good list of songs. I know virtually all the songs on the list and have played them to death. I get the point about songs lasting the test of time and so forth, but this is the list I might have made ten years ago (with a few alterations).
    Black Sabbath – 14 percent
    Black Sabbath related artists (Dio, Rainbow, Ozzie) – 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 percent
    That’s a 24 percent bias to Black Sabbath/Dio music.

    Iron Maiden – 11 per cent
    Judas Priest – 9 per cent
    Metallica – 10 per cent
    Add in Megadeth (5); Pantera (3) and Slayer (3) and that’s two thirds of the list made up of all the standard bands that everybody endlessly recommends.
    This list (like all lists) makes certain arbitrary decisions about what counts as metal and what does not. For instance, Rainbow and Def Leppard make the cut, but Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin do not. Who decides?

    Having said that, I agree that this is a great site. It has so many other features that are helpful. For instance, its top ten songs by each metal artist is really cool. So thanks for posting the site.

  597. Sorry, those figures don’t make much sense on their own. Here’s the DigitalDreamDoor.com top 100 that Jim mentioned and I analysed (hope it copies over OK):

  598. I’d ilke to throw in my two cents worth.

    I’ve noticed a lot of bands being thrown around: Metallica, Ozzy, etc.

    But I wonder if you guys would put these two on your lists anywhere:

    Fates Warning: Night on Brocken
    Helloween: Keeper of the Seven Keys.

    Contact me, and all you guys are welcome to log onto my IRC Chat Server:

    Cause you rock!

    Luke

  599. Hey i’d like throw in my three cents worth…I think Metallica is overrated. I’d say that since this guy hasnt updated the site in 3 years, then quit asking him to add stuff, and go make ur own Thing

  600. Dave Mustaine WAS Metallica. He wrote all their good shit.

    And Lar Ulrich talks like he has a mouth full of shit.

    And anything past Ride the Lightning by Metallica sucks. I will give honorable mention to Master of Puppets.

    But, having said that, I’d rather listen to Megadeth over Metallica anyday.

  601. Nine Inch Nails

    Manson

    Slipknot (New stuff is shitty)

    Pantera

    Slayer

    Tool

    A Perfect Circle

    Primus

    Shadows of the Distance

    Murdok

    Bill Clinton

    Erik Ellington

    Ballsac 3000

    Master P

    Ice Cube

    Fuckasster

    Damn, that was gay.

  602. Yeah I mean Metallica is of course a great band, but not the greatest. I’ll listen to Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman. Besides those there’s not much more I’d bother to listen to. I go for more of a variety, a couple songs from a lot of different bands. While were at it though I must say that a few of my favorite metal songs are “Fast as a Shark” by Accept, “Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja” by Lost Prophets, and “Rainbow in the Dark” by Dio.

    P.S.- Judas Priest is even more overrated than Metallica.

  603. metal is a very interesting genre of music. is a sub-genre of rock, and there are many types of metal: heavy, hair, NU, and death (death being the greatest extreme). metal is much harder, better, and just plain old kicks mud-butt ass, than just about every new “rock band”, such as your emo bands like green day, OAR, CKY, AFI, Fall out Boy, Linkin Park, and to a lesser extent, Michael Jackson. they all fall in to the catigory of major suckage. if you like any of those bands, especially Green Day, you should probally sit in you lock room alone, crying and cutting your self, as you sadly listen to St. Jimmy, or Boulivard of Broken Dreams. Now getting back on topic of mud-butt kicking bands, Judas Priest, Ozzy and Black Sabbith, Old Metalica, (they literally have metal in their name), all are awesome, AND STILL ARE THE BEST!!! there will never be a greater band than those three. The only reason they all stop playing was because they frownd upon all this new age music that was upon them. too bad no one noticed their great talent, (especially Green emo Day) and folow in their great, size 34AAA boots footsteps. otherwise, their would be no war in Iraq if they did. (don’t question my intelligence, this is all true… especially emo Green emo Day, which are emo)

  604. i like to tip my hat to joe blow for setting luke straight. The oldies are still the best and will always be. long live ozzy and mettalica!

  605. i have one exception of new metal and one exception only. Rob Zombie is the ONLY, and i repeat ONLY, new metal god. not hinder, not alien ant farm, not even korn. Rob Zombie has been around since White Wombie, and he still carries that same sound from back in the 80s, and is pumping out great 1000-ton heavy metal. no exceptions, RZ is the only metal band of the 2000s.

  606. I can only somewhat agree. Rob Zombie is great, but nowhere near a god. There has never been, and will never be, one band which can truly be said is the greatest. Every band has their stong and weak points. So you might think Rob Zombie is a god, but in the minds of others who are also metal fans, he might just be another average artist. Obviously he has kept with the times and is famous, but being famous doesnt make u great. If that were the case, we’d all be sittin here talkin about Brittney Spears and Michael Jackson.

  607. FYI:
    Emo
    Punk music on estrogen. Often acoustic guitar with soft, high male vocals that dwell exessively on the singer’s feelings, especially melancholy remembrances of past relationships/mistakes in life. A form of music that diverged from punk in the ’80s, the name “emo” is derived from the emotive style of the lyrics and music. This genre has lately been marketed heavily by the music industry to teenagers with bands such as Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday, and has seen much commercial and mainstream success. The music has also spawned a subculture which conforms to certain conventions in dress such as tight sweatshirts, tight band T-shirts and horn-rim glasses. Adherents profess to exessively melancholy temperments. Males that adhere to the emo subculture are sometimes confused with metrosexuals; indeed the line between the two is somwhat blurred, though both groups claim to be intouch with their emotional side. The ephemeral and hackneyed nature of emo songwriting suggests that its audience will be restricted largely to teenagers. the genre suffers from a lack of credibility outside the aforementioned demographic group, much like current Nu Metal bands.

  609. i like to tip my hat to joe blow for setting luke straight. The oldies are still the best and will always be. long live ozzy and mettalica!

    ummmmmmmmm I think he concurred with me, not set me straight. He said “OLD Metallica,” as well as I said, Metallica that Dave Mustaine wrote, implying OLD Metallica.

    Is reading comprehension lost on you ????

    Getting back to the thesis: I’d like to throw Helloween’s song, I’m alive in that mix. Great song.

  610. Saw an interesting comment on “wiki” that the fastest two songs by metallica in terms of actual tempo are 1. Dyer’s Eve; 2. Blackened. (both from “justice”). Next were Battery and Disposable Heroes. I would have thought “whiplash” was quicker. Also until recently metallica didn’t play Dyer’s Eve live cos it was too difficult. It is an awesome song, great lyrics as well.

  611. Freudian Slipknot:
    Excellent post.

    Remanescent of the hair metal bands of the 80s; except with a massive dose of depression. I rather be mad then sad. SLAYER.

  612. What the hell is wrong with you?

    Fuckin Metallica!
    Where’s Number of the beast and Maiden’s new stuff

  613. Look, if i may say what many have said before me…Metallica isn’t as great as everyone thinks they are. I mean sure, they were great back in the day, but their new stuff sucks. But u also have to accept the fact that there are new bands that are rock’n it out just as great as old metallica. I must agree however that Maiden has lasted the test of time. They are still awesome, and i definetly give them the edge over metallica.

  614. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Deep Purple, Manowar, Led Zeppelin, Blind Guardian, AC/DC, Metallica, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne, – that should do the best there is out there. without the slightest doubt.

    and all those people who think Slip Knot, Cradle of Shit, Children of Bodom, Korn and other shit are good, they fan **** off! you ain’t no nothing about music yet. God I hate that shit, SlipKnot? hahaha

  615. as for the list well there are too many,you missed Trooper from Maiden, **** there are too many missing, i can’t be bothered to write all

  616. My god you guys are fucking morons… Slipknot aren’t metal, they’re noisy idiots pretending to play musical instruments in a fassion that allows them to beat each other up. Bands such as Korn, Saliva, Linkin Park and Nirvana should not be mentioned on a Metal thread, and I assume those of you who did mention them are underage pubescents whom wouldn’t know Zakk Wylde from Adam. As for great Metal, I repeat, Metal acts i’d suggest having a listen to bands such as Children Of Bodom, Hypocrisy, Slayer, In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Malevolent Creation, Bolt Thrower, Annihilator ( Can’t believe no-one mentioned them, however I might’ve missed them myself as I read through your comments), Opeth, Arch Enemy, Pantera, At Vance, Amon Amarth, Destruction, Graveworm, Iron Maiden (Still relevent even in today’s music scene), Kalmah (Again why no mention?), Krisiun, Merauder, Old Man’s Child, Racer X, And that’s just to name a few.

    On one final note, Old bands such as Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Boston, Deep Purple. They’re not Metal, they never were, they’re simply hard rock acts which influenced a generation to go that one step further.

    Now go forth and take heed of my recomendations, and if you haven’t heard of these bands, I suggest you do some research.

  617. All of these bands have been mentioned.

    Number of song mentions as recorded by hits program I wrote to sort this page. (still an old sheet i.e. -rw——- 1 bernie bernie 123K 2006-08-30 12:18 metaledit)

    Children of bodom 30 hits
    in flames 20 hits
    dimmu borgin 14 hits
    slayer 90+ (my prefered band, up to seasons)
    bolt thrower 3
    annihilator 3
    opeth 23
    Metallica is still king with all of its spellllings 295+ hits.

  618. My niece is a huge “slipknot” and “system of a down” fan, so I am kind of obligated to at least have heard the stuff – not my favourite but anyway. The following comment on this site is typical: “My god you guys are fucking morons… Slipknot aren’t metal, they’re noisy idiots pretending to play musical instruments in a fassion that allows them to beat each other up.” This extremely informative comment suggests that slipknot should not be categorised as metal but “noisy idiots…etc.” Anyhow, according to wikipedia slipknot can be categorised as: Alternative metal, heavy metal, nu metal or rap metal. Wiki calls system of a down alternative metal and suggests influences of “nu metal” “thrash metal” and “prog rock”: Band member Daron Malakian said: “I’m not saying we’re the most original band in the world, but I don’t really feel that we fall into a heavy-metal category or a pure rock category. There’s a lot of stuff mixed up into one.”

    Wiki categorised other bands: Korn (nu metal); Nirvana (alternative rock, grunge); Linkin’ Park (nu metal, rapcore); Led Zeppelin (hard rock, heavy metal, blues rock, folk rock); Deep Purple (hard rock, heavy metal).

    What irritates me is narrow minded people on this site that call a particular band noisy or crap. That’s exactly what my parents and my grandmother used to say when I was listening to Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple back in the 70s. Bloody hell, metal is supposed to be noisy.

    Also thanks to bernie, drew and others who recommend some really cool metal. Here’s a couple songs that rock.

    Exodus: I am abomination
    Testament: Agony

  619. monad: Well said.

    I normally do not offer an opinion to the f-that they suck or the f-yeah they rule crowd; They seemed to be zoned into their niche and as with most personal conclusions (e.g. political, religious, finance, music, movies etc) being wrong is a difficult option.

    I will check out those songs, thanks.

    bernie724

  620. Some great bands have been listed.
    Although I tend to agree with Peter’s comment on Slipknot, they’re not exactly a good band, their following consisting of angry teenagers who go to their shows to see them “beat the hell outta each other” as my friends 13 year old daughter says.

    Some good comments with some great bands, it’s just a shame that you ridicule Peter for his ‘Noisy Crap’ comment yet ignore some of the astonishing bands he mentioned. i.e. Kalmah, Old Man’s Child, Krisiun and Racer X. Paul Gilbert is an amazing shred guitarist and definately worthy of listening to.

    Don’t hate on Post’s take the good from it.

  621. Some-one way up there somewhere asked whether Dragonforce are the fastest band around. I saw this quote from Kirk Hammett: “I really like this absurd band called Dragonforce,” Kirk said. “Those are the fastest guitar players I think I’ve ever seen. They’re like Yngwie [Malmsteen] on steroids. No, they’re like Barry Bonds on guitar. It’s amazing. I saw one video and I swear to God the guy must’ve played 75,000 notes.”

  627. Just posted my top ten at the following site:
    http://fullmetalattorney.blogspot.com/2005/10/top-100-metal-songs-top-ten.html
    Fullmetalattorney has a really bizarre top 100 metal songs – go and check it out – but he’s redoing the top 100 – so you can go make a contribution…
    My current top ten is as follows:
    1. Metallica: Master of Puppets (1986).
    2. Opeth: The Leper Affinity (2001).
    3. Led Zeppelin: Stairway to heaven (1971).
    4. Cradle of Filth: Nymphetamine (overdose) (2004)
    5. Iron Maiden: Hallowed be thy name (1982)
    6. Iced Earth: Travel in Stygian (1991)
    7. Nightwish: Fantasmic (2000)
    8. Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell (1980)
    9. Pantera: Cemetery Gates(1990)
    10. Nevermore: This Godless Endeavor (2005)

    I am quite happy if anyone objects to my opinion. That’s your prerogative. I recommend Nevermore’s “This Godless Endeavor” – notice it only got one specific recommendation on this page. It’s got really cool aggressive riffing at about 5 minute 40 into song. Worth a listen.

    Anyhow that’s my top ten, no excuses, no excrement

  628. Amon Amarth – Fate of Norns
    An Ancient Sign of Coming Storm
    The Beheading of a King
    Valhal Awaits Me
    With Oden on Our Side
    Cry of the Black Birds

    Ensiferum – Battle Song
    Tale of Revenge
    Treacherous Gods
    Guardians of Fate
    Slayer of Light
    Into Battle

    (Viking Metal is awsome!)

  629. Amon Amarth – Fate of Norns

  630. can you send me a copy of your list to because your the only website that actualy has good songs unlike billboard, and more please

    Email=derreck_503@hotmail.com

  631. Try Bullet for my Valentine. They opened for Iron Maiden this year for Maiden’s A Matter of Life and Death tour, awesome show BTW.

  632. Ok the list is missing one band that started power metal of and sang great heavy metal. Helloween is the name of this master piece band try these songs
    I want out
    Mr torture
    Soul surviver
    Eagle Fly Free

    Also try Sons of plunder by Distrubed

  633. monad:

    I finally checked out those songs, nice. I have been listening to the new Trivium. This song stands out so far.

    Trivium – The Crusade – 03 – Entrance of the Conflagration

    bernie724

  634. Bernie724
    I actually had that song downloaded and hadn’t listened to it at all. Gave it a listen. Rocks well from the beginning and goes up a gear with a driving riff at 2:05 – very nice.
    thanks

  635. maybe he will be into metal . . . and can post his list of favourites on this page when he grows up. . .

  636. monad:
    The glass shaking double base and whirlwind drumming before the first chorus is outstanding. I doubt that could be replicated live.

  637. just read the site, no I didn’t know that – interesting. . . tragic. . . good content for a metal song. . .

  638. Listen, none of these stupid bands like KoRn, Godsmack and Limp Bizkit would be around today if it wasn’t for Nirvana. Nirvana totally messed up Metal and it was never the same after Kurt Cobain and co threw up some of the most sickening shit i’ve ever heard in my life. Ok, there are a few decent metal bands around at the moment but not as good as they used to be.
    My favourites are:
    1 – Metallica (Metal Militia, Battery, Damage inc., Call of Ktulu, Fade to Black)
    2 – Iron Maiden (Powerslave, Only the good die Young, Fear of the Dark, Paschendale)
    3 – In Flames (Clayman, Only for the Weak, Bullet ride, Pinball Map)
    4 – Fear Factory (Every song they ever done)
    5 – Slayer (Raining Blood, Jihad, Necrophiliac)
    6 – Dream Theater (Panic Attack, This Dying Soul, Endless Sacrifice, Overture 1928). Most talented band ever
    7 – Guns n’ Roses (Welcome to the Jungle, Civil War, November Rain)
    8 – Tool (Eulogy, Vicarious, Pushit, Sober, 46 + 2, Aenima). Debated wether they’re metal or not but still one hell of a band

    Other honourable mentions to System of a Down, 16 Volt, Motorhead, Judas Priest, Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Nine inch Nails and Static X. Anyone who listens to stuff like Cassie, Chamillionaire, Bobby Valentino, Ne-yo or any other highly commercialised crap can just fuck right off.

  639. Hmmm. . . my Nile recommendation got cleaned off. What’s wrong with Nile, Mr Editor? This is Freudian Slipknot checking out . . . cheers it’s been fun.

  640. I cant help but notice the small and some what poor selection of AC/DC songs you have on your list?! Try these for a bit of flavor:
    -Sqealer
    -Sink the pink
    -Jailbreak
    -Dirty deeds
    -Can I sit next to you girl?
    -TNT
    -Who made who
    -Shake your foundations
    -Back in black
    -High voltage
    -It’s a long way to the top
    …….and the list can go on and on. my point being they are definately a band that are worthy of more than 2 mentions.

    And….I notice a few rockin’ bands from the 80’s / 90’s missing here: Motley Crue, Skid Row,Pantera etc…..? What about a mention for these tunes
    Slave to the grind – Skid Row
    Fucking Hostile – Pantera
    Shout at the devil – Motley Crue
    Beautiful People – Marilyn Manson
    Delivering the goods – Judas Priests
    Bullet with Butterfly Wings – Smashing Pumpkins
    …and a more recent:
    next contestant – Nickleback! 🙂

  679. This is probably the most informative and useful thread on the entire Internet! I’ve considered myself a mainstream head banger for the past 30 years, and you guys have helped me pick out about 100 songs that I’ve never listened to before. I never realized how awesome Pantera is or how good Slayer is (and I even saw them live with Judas Priest – Priest blew them away live!). Anyway, just so I do my part, here is my list of top 10 heavy metal songs of all time…

    1. Drill On Betty by Thorax

    2. Fatal Submission by Harbinger

    3. Fourth Door by Goober

    4. Shed My Skin by Licker Good

    5. White Hot by Drifter

    6. Ugly Little Girl by Doom Us All

    7. Satan Grows by River Master

    8. Good Eats by Cannibal Chugger Boys

    9. War Song by George Mason

    10. Thunder by Copper Cain

  680. OK OK Dick Tater ive nether heard of any of those songs if u want metal u hav to start at the creators
    Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Pantera than all the modern bands Trivium, Bathory, Lamb Of God, Killswitch Enagage and Cannibal Corpse without cannibal corpse their wuld be no death metal

  682. Hello metal heads ive been reading this site for a few wekks now and have loved the fact that metal brings the generations together. I grew up in the 70’s and was lucky enough to see Zeppelin, Sabbath, Judas Priest, and all the original metal bands come into existance. I know all of our defininitions of Metal differ some, the point is to enjoy the best of what has come down the pipes through the years and weed out the great and innovative from the ordinary and boring. I have been digging everyone suggestions alog the way and realized I was missing out on alot of great metal bands that started after my heyday in metal. Pantera and Slayer are my latest obcessions thanks to everyone suggestions. Do what I do, keep an open mind and try some bands that are new to you and you might be suprised by what you hear.
    There are a few criterions fro great metal in my opinion:
    1. Clean kickass guitar riffs that flow be it a choppy style or melodic whatever your taste. If the song is too confused to keep straight why bother. Metal doesnt have to be the most complicated or hard to play to be great. It can be for sure.
    2. The singer must be understandable, if you cant understand the words whats the point. A great voice goes a long way(Dio, Halford etc.)
    3. The song has to have a point an idea. Thrown together phrases or lines means little in the long run. People have to be able to relate to the music.
    4.It has to sound great TURNED ALL THE WAY UP! If its to loud your too old. (wear ear protection).

    Its great that I can now go back and check out some of the bands that I hated in years past and give them another look. Your tastes will change over the years believe me.

    My top metal bands( and they were all considered metal in thier time):

    Black Sabbath, Judas priest, AC/DC, Van Halen, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pantera, Slayer, Deep Purple, Dio, Jeff Beck, Megadeth, Rainbow, UFO, Guns and Roses, Malmsteen, Accept, Anthrax, Motley Crue, etc etc etc and those are the bands I have just gotten through in the 40+ years ive been listening to Metal. Now remember kiddies even shitty Metal bands can have severly kick ass great songs so dont dismiss everything about a band because you have only heard a few of thier songs. I have already gotten about 40 new songs that I now absolute can not live without because of everyone posting here.

    Thank you all, In metal we trust.

    The Keeper

    Passing the metal Baton to new generations.

  683. Through the decades there have been bands that changed the direction of music. Heres how I see it, we were SHOCKED when they arrived on the scene:

    1970’s-Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Van Halen
    1980’s-Metallica

    Different bands changed the world for differnt people but we can all agree that those bands changed if for everyone.

    For those that like to hate on other peoples bands check out this link to learn what Metal has been about through the years.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music

  684. Yeah, I agree that those influential bands are awesome to look at. One thing that makes me laugh about metal was the big selling out in the 80’s when everyone dropped the leather and studs and went to bright colours (in some cases, satin and sequens!). Heck, even Judas Priest went to coloured leather and cranked up the synths in their music (Turbo Lover). I don’t know that they started this trend, but Motley Crue were certainly one of the more noticable sell-outs in the quest for record sales. Too bad too – because Theatre of Pain was a much better album that most give it credit for.

  685. Bullet for my valentine….most of there songs are good and shadows fall – The Light That Blinds and Thoughts Without Words

  686. No FUCKING WANNABEROCK BANDS LIKE BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE OR THAT CRAP. AND GUNS AND ROSES ARENT METAL! ITS GAY ROCK!

  689. screwed up are you.

    This is why you talk to the web, as do i….

    i watch the johnny cash movie over and over, while ive decided sabbath bloody sabbath is the first cover im redoing this year.

    first, a woman cant cover that song…yet i think somehow i’m gonnna pull it off.

    the third edge of the knife is im so political…the first thing my boyfriend remembers me saying..and yes he thought i was crazy and was afraid of me. was “BUSH IS NOT OUR PRESIDENT! HE IS JUST A CRIMINAL THAT HAS ASSUMED OFFICE!”.

    YEAH I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE OFFICIAL COMPLAINER. the political assesor if you will.

    but the cronies killed my pet, my best friend, my constant companion of 18 years.

    since i would be happy to be shot down in flames! im working on making myself a target!for the profeter)s_ who profit fromsqueezing bmereally …the issue he seems to want the least ..blown open!

    i have hard copies of all my research, if you want to be sure. i type 100 words a minute assimilate 3 times that fast readinging, and am a musical genius/recording engineer

    but of course, since leaving the love of my life, having my best friend poisened by our govs allowing big biz to sell death in a box. added to my hanc being crushed in an accident putting a damper on the 30 years before i spent being a lead guitar player and songwriter.

    death by police would at least be a little exiting.

    I KNOW CRIME, I KNOW RITCHOUSNESS, I KNOW THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN TENDENCIES AND I AM A PHILOSOPHER!

    MAYBE ITS THE TRIPLE CROSS, BUT, LET THE RECORD SHOW, IT WASNT THE LOSS OFTTHE LOVE OF MY LOSS, THE LOSSS OF MY HAND AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO MY LIFE QUEST OF MUSIC…BUT THE WASTING OF A SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD PET!

  705. You guys should check out these two bands:

    Koama
    Sectas

    They’re not signed or anything but if you have a myspace you can go to music and type those in and they have some pretty sick songs.

  706. Somebody give me something good to try……( I like Metallica, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Megadeth, Pantera, Killswitch) i prefer great guitars and i’m not a big death metal deep grunting sound that ruins the music)

  707. If anyone is into slower more epic stuff that is not particularly accessible but is awesome if given a chance try these bands. I have listed a good album to start with in brackets:
    AGALLOCH (Pale Folklore) – Folk/doom metal with black metal vocals (songs about nature, really cool).
    ISIS (The Absence of Truth) – sludge/doom, really epic long songs, very impressive stuff, not the easiest to get into but give it time. These guys are awesome.
    PELICAN (Australasia) – instrumental, no vocals, listen to the song “Drought” – 8 minutes of driving riffs – very talented guys.
    MY DYING BRIDE (Turn Loose the Swans) – all time classic doom, essential for any metal collection
    PARADISE LOST (Shades of God) – actually quite a thrashy record, although they’re supposed to be more related to doom metal – this album’s sound is similar to Metallica’s …And Justice For All (with the bass turned up).
    KATATONIA (Brave Murder Day) – really epic songs – if you like Opeth, you’ll dig this – death grunt and clean vocals, as well as nice quiet acoustic guitar interludes contrasted with heavy stuff.
    Wintersun (Wintersun) – well they only have one album – actually not unlike Children of Bodom, but with longer songs – they’re an offshoot of the folk/melodeath band Ensiferum (also cool).

    Of course, I am assuming that everyone acually has Opeth and Children of Bodom. If not get Opeth (Blackwater Park to start with) and CoB (Follow the Reaper or really any of their albums). If you don’t like them, keep listening until you do 🙂

    For In Flames fans, similar and related bands that I really enjoy are Dark Tranquillity & Amon Amarth (some call this viking metal – but its pretty much melodeath). Also in this genre, Insomnium and Kalmah won’t let you down.

    At the moment I am listening to Novembers Doom, Swallow the Sun, Nevermore & Ulver, but I don’t know these bands well enough yet to whole-heartedly recommend them, although I can say that Nevermore’s “This Godless Endeavor” is a pretty rocking album.

  713. Hi JW: You say “oi their shuld me no death metal or screamo in the list were looking at the people who created metal the only death metal shuld me In Flames or Death their gud but heres sum songs that shuld be in the list.”

    I’ve got to admit that death grunt and growled vocals can be off putting. Also In flames are great (particularly Whoracle, The Jesters Race, Colony and Clayman) and Death are oftened credited with founding the death metal genre, but to say they are the only worthy ones is not really fair. Also Dark Tranquillity pre-date in flames in the whole Gothenburg sound, so don’t count them out.

    I like your list and have the discographies of many of the artists – obviously Black Sabbath, Metallica, Dio, Ozzy, Megadeth, Judas Priest, ACDC (hard rock really), Pantera, Iron Maiden. Some of the Glam Metal bands I don’t enjoy as much (Motley Crue, Skid Row, Twisted Sister and so forth – I don’t respect KISS either and find them mediocre). Hendrix is cool – though not really heavy metal – so If you’re going to talk about him then I would include Cream, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow (the Dio years), Grand Funk, Uriah Heep etc. These were the bands that I listened to back in the 70s. Cool stuff.

    My main issue is that I have really played all of the material of these bands to death and I am constantly looking for new acts. If you are interested in new bands join this site http://www.sputnikmusic.com/

    Many of my favourite bands have hardly been mentioned on this page, but this is more or less the list of the metal and metal related band I am enjoying at the moment: ACDC, Agalloch, Amon Amarth, Amorphis, Arch Enemy, Arsis, At the Gates, Black Sabbath, Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, Deep Purple, Dimmu Borgir, Dio, Dream Theater, Ensiferum, Exodus, Iced Earth, In Flames, Insomnium, Iron Maiden, Isis, Kalmah, Katatonia, Lacuna Coil, Led Zeppelin, Mastodon, Megadeth, Metallica, My Dying Bride, Nevermore, Nightwish, Nile, Norther, Novembers Doom, Opeth, Pantera, Paradise Lost, Pelican, Rainbow, Rush, Slayer, Soilwork, Swallow The Sun, Symphony X, Testament, The Gathering, Wintersun.

    Keep on rocking.

  736. 1. Black Sabbath – War Pigs (The first and still the best.)

    2. Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name (Self-fucking-explanatory.)

    3. Judas Priest – Beyond the Realms of Death (This is almost mandatory.)

    4. Metallica – Master of Puppets (Obey your master!)

    5. Megadeth – Holy Wars… The Punishment Due (I know they’re not as popular as some of the younger bands or as “classic” as some of the older bands, but they’re from the same time period as Metallica, and Metallica certainly makes the list. I think this song is good enough to warrant a number 5.)

    6. Van Halen – Running with the Devil (Go listen to the guitar in this song and then come tell me Van Halen isn’t “true metal.”)

    7. Slayer – Angel of Death (When they were young, they were the heaviest, darkest, and fastest high-quality band that existed. They may still be.)

    8. Ozzy Osbourne – Crazy Train (I know – biased list, blah-blah. Ozzy’s a sellout, blah-blah. Doesn’t matter. Crazy Train still deserves this spot.)

    9. Guns N Roses – Welcome to the Jungle (Proved that metal could be popular and still be “true metal.” Do you know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby. You’re gonna die!)

    10. Queensryche – Queen of the Reich (A controversial choice, but in sheer technical skill, I believe it deserves this spot.)

    Let’s get this out of the way too. The following bands are not metal. They’re just not.

    Bruce Springsteen – Rock.
    GG Allin – Hardcore Punk.
    Triumph – Hard Rock.
    KMDFM – Industrial Rock.
    Grateful Dead – Rock. I’m really sorry, but this had to be said.

  737. ur list is totally wrong
    where is run to the hills by iron maiden
    the rolling stones arent metal

  738. ur list is totally wrong
    where is run to the hills by iron maiden
    the rolling stones arent metal

  739. WHERE THE HELL IS DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!!!!!
    they have a gay name but they are the greatest speed metal band alive!!!!!!!!!!!
    a few GREAT songs are:
    through the fire and the flames
    opperation ground pound
    cry for eternity
    my spirt will go on
    cry of the brave
    black fire
    heart of a dragon

    all these songs have GREAT guitar solos!!!!!!!!1
    ps. slipknot is a fucking pussy band

  740. I just had to get some things off my chest…

    There are WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE categorizing bands like Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and that kind of stuff as metal. Now while they are good bands they are not, I repeat “NOT METAL!”

    Bands that SUCK:

    Cradle of Filth

    H.I.M (Why the hell were they even brought up in this thread?)

    Children of Bodom

    Bullet for my Valentine

    System of a Down

    Bon Jovi (Look at my comment for H.I.M)

    Avenged Sevenfold (For true metalheads, these guys need no explanation)

    As I Lay Dying

    Every emo band

    Rob Zombie (Sorry, but I had to say it. White Zombie was the superior to Rob’s solo work)

    Poison

    Yeah, and those arent even half of what I saw!

    Now bands that are better:

    Cannibal Corpse

    Kreator

    Black Sabbath

    Judas Priest

    Iron Maiden

    Anthrax

    Celtic Frost

    Slayer

    Venom
    Trivium (It doesn’t make me a hypocrite to like these guys…They aren’t gay like A7X)

    Carcass

    Deicide

    Whiplash

    Throwdown

    Stormtroopers of Death

    Six Feet Under

    Pantera

    Old Metallica

    Mayhem

    Anal Cunt

    Sodom

    By now, you probably get the idea

    I know a lot of people are gonna get me for this, but I dont care really.

  741. cmon people u can’t be getting rock and metal bands mixed up, jon bon jovi, zeppelin, jimi hendrix, def leppard, don’t get me wrong i love all those bands( cept bon jovi he just flat out sucks) Give me some more screaming and guitar riffs, let’s go people give me some hard crap

  748. WTF is worng with you people i am a massive!! hard rock fan best zeppelin, bon jovi, guns n roses, etc these bands AREN’T METAL!

    remember guys its called The greatest METAL songs of all time so stop putting rock on there it doesnt matter how heavy you think they are they are not the characteristics of metal

    remember guys its called The greatest METAL songs of all time so stop putting rock on there it doesnt matter how heavy you think they are they are not the characteristics of metal

  750. WTF is wrong with you people i am a massive!! hard rock fan but these shouldnt be o this list zeppelin, bon jovi, guns n roses, etc these bands AREN’T METAL!

    remember guys its called The greatest METAL songs of all time so stop putting rock on there it doesnt matter how heavy you think they are they are not the characteristics of metal

  751. I gotta say Im surprised to see such little Korn being recommended, granted taste in music is pretty personal but wat about songs like “Coming Undone”, “Blind”, and “Forsaken Feat. Disturbed”? I’m not here to diss anyones suggestions, but its a little narrowminded to just say a band sucks and leave it at that. There were many of bands that had great one-hit songs and stopped at that.

  752. P.S. What About Lamb Of God? Can’t sing worth a shit, but “ashes of the wake” is like a freakin symphony. Then again I know y’all are gonna hate me for this,but some metal frontmen can’t sing. Then there are people putting up bands like avenge sevenfold H.I.M., Jimmy Hendrix, Godsmack, Bullet for my valentine,and Bon Jovi?! wat next? some fallout boy? Panic at the disco? BTW Kurt cobain was great but nirvana is practically the definition of grunge. The problem is that when people like a rock band and the proclaim themselves metalheads, they try and force the band into the genre. Korn may not be typical metal but they definately fit into the genre (in my opinion). At present my list is:
    Korn: Blind, Coming Undone
    The Union Underground: South Texas Deathride
    Slipknot:”Duality”(listen to the drums and lyrics and tell me its not metal, along with the guitar bridge), “Disasterpiece” (guaranteed to make you laugh with manic glee), “Before I forget” (A little light, but pretty good riff and lyrics)

  753. all yoU idiots saying that Nirvana isn’t metal haven’t done their homework. go buy “bleach.” that album may be argueably metal or not, but it is certainly harder than what ever yoU hear on the damn radio. even “incesticide” is harder. check it out.

    QOTSA. good stuff. metal fused with a euphonious blend of pop, symphony, and hate for society. again, don’t trust the radio. go out and buy a cd.

  754. guns n roses all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  761. What I would like to know is ,If a band is practically the freaking yardstick by which you define grunge, how could it be a metal band? Wouldn’t the vast majority of the songs made by the band be maybe GRUNGE? Don’t get me wrong here, I love Nirvana, but all great bands aren’t metal, and all metal bands aren’t great.

  762. Hey fuck heads, i’ve read some of the comments, and the main topic and i haven’t seen King Diamond..Sure, someone posted mercyful fate…

  770. i agree with what alot a stuff ur sayin but sum a u people r frgittin where metal frikin started. metal pretty much began with LeD ZePPeLIN in 1968. Then came almighty Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, AC/DC(#1), Guns n’ Roses, and so on. Also, to be honest with u, slayer flat sucks. they r not real good metal. iron maided doesn’t have the best guitarist, Eddie Van Halen is the best. Mettallica is not the best , theyre good but theyre not the best. and yall r forgetting SteppenWolf. ur also forgetting collective soul and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
    these r the best bands in order:
    AC/DC
    Van Halen
    LeD ZePPeLIN
    Skynyrd
    G N R
    Ozzy
    Scorpions
    Aerosmith
    Alice in Chains
    Black Sabbath
    ZZTop
    SteppenWolf
    Deep Purple
    Metallica
    Pantera
    Iron Maiden
    and so on

    metal did NOT start out reduced to nothin but screaming and playing an E power chord over and over. Metal started out as MUSIC.
    thank u very much

  785. This keep’s me rather entertained.
    Must admit tho, people who are saying ‘Nirvana’ & ‘Slipknot’ need to be burned alive & know their METAL music better.
    Can’t really say i list of my own because it would have just been repeated again.
    I love Black Sabbath [Can’t wait till they play in New Zealand]
    & Iron Maiden are fucking wicked.

  786. Best bands and their best songs

    korn-coming undone, twisted transistor, freak on a leash, here to stay, yall want a single

    slipknot-wait and bleed, before i forget, the blister exists, spit it out

    nine inch nails- survivalism, closer, the hand that feeds

    system of a down- BYOB, angels deserve to die, toxicity,

  787. linkin park and NIN are not fucking metal they are rapcore. Led Zeppelin was one of the very first metal bands, the greatest by far.

  788. HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve seen like two korn references in the entire post

    korn transformed metal and joined tow genres, rap and metal

    my songs

    korn-blind
    korn-clown
    korn-somebody someone
    korn- SHOOTS AND LADDERS!!!!!
    korn-falling away from me
    limp bizkit-break stuff
    Insane clown possee- chicken huntin (i know its not really metal but its a cool song0
    RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
    And my favorite song of all time Pantera- revolution is my name

  789. HOLD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  790. go find your sisters mascara that you use and jam it in your eye, you faggots.

  791. Ok here are the top 10 metal bands in my opinion…:

    1. Helloween – They were the creators of power metal! The Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 and Part 2 are two essential albums for any metalhead to own.

    2. Edguy – As with Helloween, Edguy is from Germany and doesn’t have much of a fan base in the US, but they should! Edguy has come out with some great stuff over the years, and their latest album Rocket Ride is amazing!

    3. Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath is classic metal. They were great with both Ozzy and Dio as their singers. My top 2 songs by Black Sabbath have to be Paranoid and Heaven and Hell.

    4. Megadeth – Dave Mustaine and the gang have are still going strong with this masterpiece of a band! Megadeth has played some great music over the years, my personal favorite song being Countdown to Extinction.

    5. Iron Maiden – Iron maiden is another example of classic metal. Although I prefer their earlier music (Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast, The Trooper…etc) their more recent music is great too!

    6. Gamma Ray – Yep, another German band. Gamma Ray is another great power metal band! Gamma Ray’s creator, as well as their vocalist and guitarist, Kai Hansen is perhaps my favorite musician of all time!

    7. W.A.S.P. – Some of my favorite metal songs of all time are from this band! I Wanna Be Somebody and Mean Man are great songs in my opinion and should be in everyone’s music collection. Although I’m not such a fan of the sexual themes, their music is still amazing.

    8. Dio – Ronnie James Dio is another one of my faavorite musicians. His self titled band has come out with some great songs over the years, my favorite being Rainbow in the Dark!

    9. Korn – Korn was one of the first metal bands I listened to, and I still can’t get enough of them. They are one of the original creators of nu metal. Their remake of Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall is outstanding.

    10. Rage Against the Machine – Ok, this decision may cause a few arguments as some people don’t see RAtM as metal, but in my opinion they most certainly are! The way they combined hiphop with metal created an awesome sound which had never before been thought of. The Battle of Los Angelos is perhaps one of the best albums of all time.

    Honorable Mentions:

    Children of Bodom
    Cirith Ungol
    Avantasia
    Grim Reaper
    Pantera

    Ok, as was stated before, this is just my opinion so I’m sure I’ll get a lot of people disagreeing with me on this, but I think this is a pretty good list of bands that all metalheads would enjoy.

  792. Ozzy’s New Single (I Don’t Wanna Stop) is pretty sweet, i think it’s zakk wylde on the solo.

  793. Anthrax, Dio, Stratovarius are my favorite bands….

    I also like…Backstreet Buds, Blink 183, N Sink………….HELLS NO THOSE BANDS SUCK NO TALENT WHATSOEVER!

  794. two amazingly fun songs
    3 inches of blood-deadly sinners
    3 inches of blood-the goatriders horde

  795. two amazingly fun songs
    3 inches of blood-deadly sinners
    3 inches of blood-the goatriders horde

  796. I figured i’d help out you guitar players by giving you some of my favorite metal guitar tracks
    They are, in no particular order: Black Sabbath- paranoid, iron man, war pigs, N.I.B.(bass guitar)
    deep purple- smoke on the water, Iron maiden- the trooper, hallowed be thy name, Megadeth-HANGAR 18 Metallica- master of puppets, ONE, enter sandman, Ozzy- I don’t wanna stop, MR. CROWLEY, CRAZY TRAIN, no more tears, ratm- killing in the name, yngwie malmsteen-BLACK STAR slayer- angel of death
    Honorable mentions: (not quite metal) Avenged Sevenfold- seize the day, bat country, Beast and the harlot

  797. i’ve been hooked on Pantera’s sound since i first heard them when i was about 10[18 now] Dimebag was a fuckin God.

    i’m not gonna list too many bands or songs just a few of my favorites as listing most or all would take a long ass time, and i have a life….ok maybe i dont.
    also some of the bands may not be Metal, but they tend to have a metal sound to them, or are bands which metal got its roots from.

  807. Look, metal is supposed to be the most powerful genre, so stop putting up hair metal and stupid Nirvana. Linkin Park is just disturbing and insulting to metal, and In Flames just rules (old In Flames). Europe has given us the greatest metal bands ever, and Sweden just rules ….. Opeth, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Dark Funeral …. etrc. Stay heavy people and listen to REAL metal … not hip hop. Hip hop should burn in hell.
    –PEACE.

  808. Alice Cooper can burn in hell. Alice Cooper is hard rock. Mettalica is not really metal it’s weak. AC/DC friggin rulez but aren’t metal. Michael Jackson, Paul Mccartney, and whatever else you weird fags call metal is probably not. Honestly, people who listen to Mettalica have issues, they have 0 talent. BUT, enjoy whatever u want.

    IN FLAMES 4 EVER

  839. hey metallica listeners. try something fucking new. POST UP DIFFERENT SONGS! I’m so fucking tired of reading metallica this, and black sabbath that, and judas priest is GAY. that isn’t METAL metal is HEAVY. Bathory, Slayer, In Flames, Cannibal Corpse, Horrid, Grave, Death, Sodom, etrc. THAT is metal. REAL heavy stuff. Metallica is weak shit. WEAK. deal with it. Let that info sink into your fucking head 4 1 minute.

  840. The best song ever to reach this earth is:
    KATAKLYSM – FOR ALL OUR SINS

    this song is for the heavy death metalers. not u metallica licking faggots. this song is the true best song out there and should be cherished by only true metalheads.

    Canada Rox. PEACE ….. for now

  841. To mikey:
    You don’t like Judas Priest, Anthrax, Accept, RAGE Against the Machine, or Helloween…and you end every post praising the moderately decent In Flames. Seems like you don’t even really know Metal at all. You are basically just comparing everything to death metal. Death metal is just a sub-genre of metal. Oh, and to your note that Helloween’s singer has no talent…death metal singing takes no talent. I’m not saying i dont like death metal, i’m just saying that screaming doesnt take as much talent as singing. Andi Deris (Helloween’s lead singer in case you didn’t know) has far more talent in singing than Anders Friden.

  842. Dear Trick Kid from Mikey:

    I understand completely, though you may not believe so. For me, I feel Anthrax, Judas Preist, etrc …. too weak for my taste. I know that death metal singers can’t sing worth shit, it’s the guitars and the brutality that I enjoy. In Flames tends to be my favourite band becuase they use that brutality with acoustics, keyboards, and other interesting instruments. Everyone likes different things, and don’t make me look like I’m not a metalhead. Death metal is just my feild of music where I’m most comfortable. You should know that I like other metal also (Hammerfall, Iron Maiden, Hendrix, Black Sabbath)…. but not for the singing. Again, for the guitars. I really couldn’t care less if a band had a bad singer just as long as the guitars are good.

    My reason for that Helloween comment was becuase when I saw one of their live preformances I wasn’t impressed. However when I saw some In Flames underground stuff live I was….. not because i like em…. cause it WAS GOOD.

    I like to compare things with death metal…. i admit … but doesn’t make me look like I don’t know metal. It’s just to me death metal has always captivated my ears and the bands with a less heavy sound (Metallica (sabbath, iron maiden, etrc.) are good too. I LOVE THEM ALSO, but never Anthrax.

    I just prefer death metal…. I’M just trying to make it obvious.

    Plus I was also getting pissed cause I read a review dissing in flames. ….. I just really am addicted to their sound.

    But tell me please, Trick Kid, if you do like death metal, what bands (i’m interested in knowing)

  843. … oh, and i wont lie, but it’s kinda fun making fun of bands I hate…..

    But Trick Kid, why so maddd??? It’s just a weblog, guy. Everything everyone is saying is opinion based… nothing more. NOTHING more.

  844. To mikey:
    Yeah sorry dude, I guess I was pretty harsh. Just cuz u are really into death metal doesnt mean ur not metalhead. I was pissed because I’d gotten in an argument with some friends of mine over music and they kept dissing Helloween(my fav band) just to make me mad and kept talkin about how great fucking green day is (emo fags in my opinion). Yeah, and i must agree that deris’ voice does seem kinda weak live. I’m really just starting to listen to death metal and right now my favorite death metal band has got to be arch enemy. My friend likes Slipknot a lot, but as for now they are a little much for me. Once again, sorry dude

  845. To Trick Kid:

    Please don’t say you’re sorry, everyone likes different things. Your friends and my friends can be quite alike at times! …. and sorry if I don’t like Helloween , I’ve just never really taken the time to aprreciate them. You say you like Arch Enemy, wich I find interesting. Have you heard their songs:
    We Will Rise
    Silent Wars
    Nemesis

    …. and they have alot.
    However, in regards to Anthrax, Judas Priest, etrc… I have always aprreciated what tehy have done for metal, just not the metal that they are. However, I feel Iron Maiden, Slayer, Bathory, Venom, Death, Sabbath, Hendrix, they have all done alot for metal and the sub genres.

    And I’m totally on your side about Green Day. They are emo fags. I can even play their guitar rhythms and I’m a shitty guitar player! XD

    No hard feelings 🙂

  846. I also wanna give you some In Flames songz, and you give me some Helloween (I’ve been listening to In Flames for a long time) …. I should start hearing some more Helloween so here u go!

    Moonsheild
    Jotun
    Only for the Weak
    In Flames
    Stand Ablaze
    Gyroscope
    Episode 666
    ….. and anything from their “Jester’s Race” album.

    …….. 🙂 Metal 4ever.

  847. metal has been in my blood for a long time…. Oh and I found this song Hocus Pocus…. I’m only like 1 minute into it but so far so good!

  848. Hey mikey
    Well I’ve heard Silent Wars and I like it a lot. And I’ll definetly check out those In Flames songs. Yeah “Hocus Pocus” is a cover song, not sure who the original artist was. Not one of my favorites of Helloween’s though although the guitar is nice. But yeah some songs of Helloween I’d recommend are:
    I Want Out
    Future World
    Dr. Stein
    Halloween
    Ride the Sky
    Silent Rain
    Hey Lord

    Yeah so I’ll check out those In Flames songs and get back to ya on that. I’ll probably like them, i’ve listened to a couple of In Flames songs before and thought they were pretty good.

  849. to trick kid:

    i’ve downloaded every one of those songs as soon as i saw this. I like “i want out” … it’s definetly catchy …. ride the sky was also good. i didn’t quite enjoy the others though, sorry.

    About in flames, try your best to get their songs from the album “the jesters race”
    …. in flame’s old shit is the best. I’m not saying their new stuff is bad, but when you compare it to their older stuff, their new stuff just has “ass” written all over it.

    Peace.
    … and one more thing, my favourite song by them is MOONSHEILD which I am possitive you will love…. it’s not too heavy in parts and has a great melody. 🙂

  850. … no way. my list:

    Darkthrone – Transylvanian Hunger
    In Flames – Embody the Invisible
    Kataklysm – For All Our Sins (mikey, ur right. sick song)
    Horrid – Ripping Flesh
    Forgiveness – Under River Depths
    Destruction – Total Disaster
    Norther – Death Unlimited

  851. will you faggots stop mentioning AVENGED SEVENFOLD! THEY SUCK BALLS! FUCK YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL SHIT HEAD MOTHERFUCKERS! FUCK!

  852. There r many metal bands who sing in spanish n they rock!!! (and metal of course) one of them is “MAGO DE OZ” its folk metal… maybe it has too many influences of groups like Iron Maiden, maybe Kiss and so on and they don’t look 2 original BUT THEY ROOOOOOOOOOOCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
    Some of their stuff:
    “Molinos de viento”
    “Satania” (yeahhh!)
    “Fiesta pagana”
    “El que quiera entender”

  853. Please listen 2 ’em … and tell me if u like em… if u don’t OK, and if u do GRRRRRRRRREAT!, that’s all, thanx 4 listenin’ 😉

  854. at the gates needs more respect:

    Slaughter of the Soul
    The Dying
    Unto Others
    Cold

  855. To mikey:
    Checked out most of those In Flames songs (couldn’t find some of them on the thing i was using…) and they were pretty good. Not quite the genre that I listen to, but like I said, i’m just starting to listen to death metal, and these guys are really good. It might take me awhile to be able to handle all that screaming though 🙂

    Trick Kid

  856. Trick kid:

    of course there are much heavier bands then in flames, but look for older songs. they went mainstream and now they are currently disappointing me. of course ….

    anyway, u must also give some credit to Opeth while ur at it.
    Peace.

  857. OK, I won’t comment on what is metal and what isn’t, but I agree that if a band can be found in a store under a different category than “metal”, it probably isn’t metal… (i.e. punk, pop, electro, etc.)… Here are some great metal song (in my opinion), some of which I was surprised not to see posted. In no particular order:

    Children of the Grave – Black Sabbath
    Call of the Wild – Circus of Power
    Sacred Heart – Dio
    Stargazer – Rainbow
    Third Chance – The Gathering
    Hallowed Be thy Name – Iron Maiden
    The Sentinel – Judas Priest
    Damage Inc. – Metallica
    Örgasmatron – Motörhead
    Hallowed Land – Paradise Lost
    2112 – Rush
    Believe – Savatage
    Blood Red – Slayer
    You Can’t Bring Me Down – Suicidal Tendencies
    Tender Trip on Earth – Tristania
    Tribal Convictions – Voïvod
    Guerilla Radio – Rage Against the Machine
    Deer Dance – System of a Down
    Walk – Pantera

  860. I’M SO FUCKING SICK OF SEEING METALLICA SO MUCH ON THIS FUCKING POST. METALLLICA SUX! EVERY FUCKING SONG SOUNDS THE SAME. THEY’RE SO OVERRATED. TOO MANY BANDS ARE UNDERRATED BECUASE OF THOSE FUCKS! AND TO TOP THIS ALL OF, THEIR NEW STUFF IS EVEN FUCKING WORSE! SO IF ANY BANDS ARE GOING TO BE MENTIONED MOST, THEN IT SHOULD BE THESE BANDS IN ORDER!
    FUCKIN’
    PANTERA! (SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED) LISTEN TO – CEMETERY GATES, AND MOUTH FOR WAR AND THEN TELL ME METALLICA IS GOOD … YOU FUCKS.
    IRON MAIDEN (SICK SICK SICK BAND THAT’S OFTEN OVERLOOKED)
    BLACK SABBATH (WITH OZZY, THAT IS)

  861. Nice to see Edge of Sanity: Crimson getting a mention. That is one of the most awesome pieces of metal ever. 40 minutes of brilliance. For everyone who is not locked into just listening to the same old obvious bands over and over again (and yes I love Metallica, Maiden, Slayer, Sabbath, Pantera, Megadeth etc.), here is some totally epic and incredible bands. Just check the internet for reviews to get other opinions.

    Moonsorrow (V: Havitetty)
    Reverend Bizarre (III: So Long Suckers)
    Enslaved (Vikingligr Veldi)
    Orphaned Land (Mabool)
    Amon Amarth (Versus the World)
    Pain of Salvation (One Hour by the Concrete Lake)
    Pagan’s Mind (Enigmatic: Calling)
    Candlemass (Nightfall)
    Opeth (Blackwater Park)
    Agalloch (Pale Folklore)
    Dark Tranquillity (The Gallery)
    Shadow Gallery (Room V)
    Royal Hunt (Paradox)
    Threshold (Hypothetical)
    Therion (Lemuria/Sirius B)
    Mourning Beloveth (Sullen Sulcus)
    Children of Bodom (Hatecrew Deathroll
    Nevermore (Dreaming Neon Black)
    Death (Symbolic)

    That’ll do. This includes power metal, black metal, doom, metal, death metal, progressive metal, symphonic metal, folk metal, and a taste of thrash metal.

  862. And what is the deal with fucks like …. limp bizkit. Let’s start with the name …. like … what the fuck kind of normal human being comes up with such a fagget ass raping name like that? Second, who combines the great metal genre with the fuck ass wanna-be genre rap? RAP IS FUCKED AND FUCK EVERONE WHO PUT’S THAT SHIT IN PEOPLE’S EARS. Third, the band is so gay they make fucking guys seem straight. And finall, the band wouldn’t know a good lyric if it sucked their pussies. I really HATE LIMP BIZKIT. and linkin park, but mainly LIMP BIZKIT

  863. Just heard this metal band from sweden called Freak Kitchen ,This fucking shit rocks take a listen and tell me what you think!In the metal gods I trust.

  864. Sweet fuckin god man, have a boner for maiden and sabbath? They’re not the only metal bands out there. There has been more metal since your jean jacket and hairspray days. Let me make a few recomendations to you to bring you to the present, i’ll even recomend tracks/albums for you:

    Killswitch Engage – End of Heartache Album
    Atreyu – Right Side (song)
    Bullet For My Valentine – Tears Don’t Fall and 4 Words (songs)
    Dethklok – thunderhorse 2007 release
    Hatebreed – destroy everything
    Lamb of God 0- walk with me in hell
    In Flames – Trigger (song)
    Shadows Fall
    All that Remains – Six (song)

    You old school “Metal” fuddy duddys need to come to the realization that:

    Ozzy is a sell out fucking hack

    Pantera is some ignorant redneck bullshit

    Judas preist is the leader of the rainbow ass bandit parade

    Sabbath is over rated, SEVERLY

    Metallica has lost their integrity and balls. I’d give a nut to say it to heftfield’s face.

    Maiden is about the only old school metal band still relevant today simply for their complexity and harmonics.

    There has been A LOT of metal music put out since Ozzy lost his integrity, fathered two retards, and started filming the sell out catastrophe that is his life. Open up your ears and expand your mind a bit.

    On a side note, anyone who thinks HIM, Bizkit, or Linkin Park are musicians are fucking butt plugs. Talentless ass clowns i swear to christ.

    Dobs

    *it’s a rant, i don’t spellcheck or proofread so fuck anyone who belittles my grammar or style.

  865. Shut up Iron Maiden and Sabbath haters. All fucking hell breaks loose when they play, plus all this new- metal shit fucking trash wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for these mega fucking geniouses inspiring them. FUCK!
    Iron Maiden – Fear of the Dark
    Iron Maiden – Phyme of the Ancient Mariner
    Iron Maiden – The Number of the Beast
    Iron Maiden – Powerslave

    …. damn straight.
    PS: we are all fuckin aware that ozzy was gay on his own. wow when he was with sabbath that was the good old days.

  866. A few comments before some more suggestions:

    1. I don’t care if Rob Halford eats dick for breakfast, lunch and dinner: Judas Priest wrote some great metal songs;
    2. For a band to be classified as heavy metal, it is NOT necessary that the lyrics be growled and shouted so as to be utterly incomprehensible while the band just plays as fast as it can;
    3. I do acknowledge that there are some great metal band that don’t come from the 80’s, but metal wasn’t born in 2000 either;
    4. Swearing a lot and ridiculing the choices of others does NOT, I repeat, does NOT make any of you look any more convincing, tough or smart…

    Now, for a few more suggestions (that, no doubt, some of you -with an amazing command of the english language doubled with a musical culture limited to three bands- will find “ass raping gay”, “motherfuckingly fucking fucked” or “sell out shit turds”):

  888. slipknot is thee greatest metal band of all time, i also like coheed and combria heres my top 5 songs of all time

    1.left behind-slipknot
    2.psychosocial-slipknot
    3.the hearetic anthem-slipknot
    4.snuff-slipknot
    5.nameless-slipknot

  889. Ahh, thank you for clearing that out! I can’t belive people and their comments about Zeppelin being Heavy Metal. Once and for all, Led Zeppelin is NOT heavy metal! Of all the things you could compare them to in the late sixties, early seventies, in order of “heaviness” there is:
    1- Black Sabbath (no arguments necessary)
    2- Deep Purple (Machine Head speaks for itself with highway star and Smoke on the water)
    3- Uriah Heep
    4- BTO (“not fragile”, although a bit later in 1974, by which time other heavy acts started amking their own appearance, like Judas Priest)
    5- AC/DC : I guess if I mentionned BTO for one song, I should by any means mention AC/DC because of some of their overall style: crunchy power chords, chord-driven music, and “loudness”

    This covers it until about 1975 when Zeppelin came out with Presence, and then you have “Achille’s last stand”, which definitely, definitely counts as Heavy metal. doesn’t have to have scooped mids and screaming vocals to be heavy. It had the basics and more: gallopping guitar chords and bassline, odd time signature in the chorus, it’s in minor, and it has a couple of searing melodic guitar solos.

  890. Oh, I forgot to mention that I was talkng about “metal pre-dating 1974”. That’s why there is no Judas Priest, Iron maiden, Rainbow, Dio, Diamond Head or Scorpions.

    Now, KISS is not heavy metal, neither is AC/DC, not really, they are hard rock. the main difference between Hard rock and Heavy metal, at least as far as my sixteen years of music appreciation goes, is that Metal is mostly composed in minor keys, driven by power chords, whereas hard rock, is more melody-driven (think Kings and Queens from aerosmith or Hell’s bells by AC/DC, both of which ar in minor, however do not really come across as heavy, due to the fact that they are slower. Metal has to be above at least 100 in tempo.

    just my seven cents worth.

  891. personal favourites:

    Death – Empty Words (anything really)
    Cynic – King of Those Who Know
    The Crown – Dead Man’s Song
    Lock Up – Feeding on the Opiate
    Kataklysm – Under the Bleeding Sun
    Exodus – Children of a Worthless God
    At the Gates – Forever Blind

  894. Wow, this is a shitty list. Metallica and AC/DC suck ass.
    List needs some real metal, where are Death, Opeth, Bathory…?
