liddybuck01 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 meh, it's whatever. at least GnR, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Motley Crew weren't on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adace1 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I agree it's definitely a good list and that Led Zep weren't metal but Dream Theater is definitely metal. I seriously don't know how you can say they aren't. Saying Tool isn't metal is kind of a stretch but I'd agree with calling them hard rock or something like that. Also, I would have added Opeth to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell No. Ask anyone in D.T. if they think they are a Heavy Metal band , they will tell you Prog/Metal . I look at Tool the same way, way more Progressive than a band like Sabbath but not H.M.

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Nothing about Led Zeppelin is heavy metal. At all. I don't know why they're on these lists. Yes, they have some heavier riffs at times, but they aren't a damn metal band. Cripes. Tool is a massive judgment call, but even if they are heavy metal, they shouldn't be in a top 10. DT isn't really metal in the same sense either. Like other people have said, this list needs more Motorhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
