Your Top Fifteen (15) Metal bands of All Time?


Recommended Posts

LOL Rushhead. I've been into Y & T for about 20 years. I was in a record shop and Earthshaker was playing, didnt know who the band was and asked who it was, and then bought the album. Absolutely magnificent band, and finally got to see them about 2 years ago in a small club in Glasgow - only about 200 folk there. The highlight of the night was I Believe In You, it was just phenomenal live it nearly brought a tear to my eye. Definitely one of my alltime fav songs. I was standing right in front on Meniketti the whole time - one of the best concerts I've been to.

 

And Killers just absolutely rules biggrin.gif

This is an old thread...

Where is natural science anyway? Did he write out his tax return in the form of his favourite 15 metal crash cymbals, then die of boredom??

LOL!

 

I agree dude, lists change every day, yet they are fun to write on a Forum!

 

I guess 101's anal fissure has been torn apart and flushed down the Rush toilet of Nothingness.

he was a jolly fissure man. a strange dude but he knew a lot about music i will say.

Indeed. He made me look like a toddler when it came to music.

I miss the 10 paragraph diatribes, otherwise called posts. That's what I remember him for. cool.gif

"Two Steps from the Move" - nice  1022.gif

They were a fantastic band - they have quite recently split up -but I was lucky enough to see them a couple of years ago when they played here. They supported Twisted Sister - wow what a concert that was - stunning. Monroe's one of the best frontmen I've ever seen. Michael Monroe has got another band up and running now, not sure what they're called, but I think that guy from the Wildhearts is in it.

One of my biggest regrets was not seeing those guys in concert, even though I had quite a few opportunities to do so. facepalm.gif

 

Will have to download some of their stuff - it's been awhile smile.gif

Wow! It's a small world after all!

I've been addicted to the Y&T Forum for about 6 years now!

Being here in the Bay Area, I am spoiled with many shows per year.

I don't go to many but I love The Fillmore shows. Their next one is at The Fillmore on May 22. It's their new cd release party! Should be awesome!!

 

Yep, everyone in the band is totally cool. Nymann is awesome!

 

I know about all of those shows overseas! They are still quite popular over there. Japan too.

 

I agree with you on "I Believe In You" live. That guitar solo brings a tear to my eye every time.

I think it's safe to say that Dave is the most underrated guitar player on the Earth.

 

Glad you had a great time at the show!!

 

IN ROCK WE TRUST!!!!!! trink39.gif

I was listening to a few tracks from Earthshaker tonight - what an album, totally superb. Can't wait to see them again now, jealous of you seeing them in May!!!!. Have you met them a few times Rushhead? Im, glad when I did finally see them that it was in such a tiny venue and though I didnt actually meet them, I was only about 2 feet away from the band. They are still very popular over here - still hear quite a lot of their songs played on rock radio and planet rock. In fact, I picked a Y & T song when I my Rockblock got played on Planet Rock radio (10 of your fav songs get played at lunchtime). I picked Rescue Me - another cracking song.

Slayer

Megadeth

Amon Amarth

Black Sabbath

Arch Enemy

Iron Maiden

Behemoth

Cradle of Filth

Voivod

Fear Factory

Metallica

Iced Earth

Tank! I love them. Turn Your Head Around is one of my favorite songs ever.

That song is fantastic. Echoes of a Distant Battle,Thats what Dreams are Made of and Turn Your Head Around prob my fav 3 songs. I wasn't expecting to see another Tank fan on here biggrin.gif .

 

I saw Tank a few times - best time was through in Edinburgh - three bands on the bill - Tank, Angel Witch and Girlschool. Absolutely amazing night. I've still actually got a Tank patch on my denim jacket biggrin.gif

"Earthshaker" is a gem. So is "Black Tiger" and of course "Mean Streak." "In Rock We Trust" is their best seller but you can tell they started to drift toward the commercial side of things.

What do you think about the first two albums before "Earthshaker?"

Raw and muddy Seventies Hard Rock! I love those two albums! Just as much as I also love the first two Maiden records!

Yes, I have met the band many times! Even partied with them. They are all great guys and I am sure you said hi to Jill Meniketti over there since she runs the merch booth. She is awesome!!! The brains and braun behind the band.

 

You should fly out for The Fillmore show!!!

Probably too much money though!!

 

I know Y&T wishes they could sell out arenas, but that would be impossible so we the fans get spoiled rotten seeing this great band in small clubs.

 

Save your money and fly out for the famous Mystic Shows in November. One on Saturday and one on Sunday! That weekend is a BLAST!!!

 

Signed,

 

"Barroom Boogie" trink39.gif

 

PS: I got into Y&T when I was a freshman in high school. 1983.

I picked up "Black Tiger" on vinyl and I instantly fell in love! wub.gif

The term 'Heavy Metal' was thrown around a lot from the late Sixties to the late Seventies before the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal solidified the definitions of metal and rock as a whole diverged into more distinct genres. Led Zeppelin and early versions of Rush, KISS, Van Halen, AC/DC and even Journey were often refered to as metal. After the coming of the NWOBHM and the directions the bands previously mentioned took, only bands like Judas Priest, Motorhead and Black Sabbath emerged to help truly define heavy metal. So leaving out many of these rock titans out of the running, my FAVORITE, not 'greatest' or 'best' ranking neccessarily would go something like this...

 

1. Iron Maiden

2. Slayer

3. Metallica

4. Black Sabbath

5. Ozzy Osbourne (sorry, NOT the same as Sabbath)

6. Exodus

7. Pantera

8. Megadeth

9. Black Label Society

10. System Of A Down

11. Judas Priest

12. Motley Crue

13. Anthrax

14. Motorhead

15. Morbid Angel

Black Sabbath

AC/DC

Deep Purple

Rainbow

Scorpions

UFO

Heaven & Hell

Motorhead

Metallica

Judas Priest

Iron Maiden

Saxon

MSG

Twisted f'kin Sister

Hanoi Rocks

 

It's hard to draw the line at what is and what isn't metal. For example Rainbow had some kick ass metal songs, Kill The King, Long Live Rock N'Roll, Stargazer, Tarot woman etc but also some more commercial sounding rock. I didn't include Zep or Black Crowes my fave bands as they are definately not metal.

 

AC/DC have some metallish songs but mostly just High Voltage Rock N' Roll biggrin.gif

 

Yeah so in a nutshell many bands are difficult to cateragorize trink39.gif
