Top 5 Metal bands

What are your guys' top 5 metal bands? (Lets try and keep this a bash-free thread) Mine would have to be:
Slipknot
Lamb of God
Dying Fetus
Pantera
System of a Down

 

I'm an 80's metal/hair metal person myself.....

Ozzy(solo)
Queensryche
Bon Jovi
Guns n Roses
Motley Crue
Iron Maiden

 

1-5 Type O Negative

 

well.. it's abit of a fine line between rock n metal so i'll say

metallica
anthrax
slayer (guess thats more thrash)
no means no
megadeth

 

Slipknot is SO not metal

Guns N Roses
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Alice In Chains
Disturbed

 

Danzig
Children of Bodom
Slayer
Megadeth
Iron Maiden

 

How can anyone consider Bon Jovi metal?

 

how can anyone consider bon jovi at all? 'blaze of glory is ok',maybe - but thats just me

 

Why not consider them metal, they were heavier then other so called hair metal bands like Poison, or Def Leppard, and had more tallent then most of them, and most people who critisize Bon Jovi barely ever hear any of their stuff, you can't say Dry County, Fear, Blood on Blood, Keep the Fath, These Days, Hey God, My Guitar Lies Bleeding in my Arms, Bed of Roses, Little bit of Soul, Prayer '94(a much better version of Livin on a Prayer) are bad songs.

 

Saxon
Elvenking
Children of Bodom
Sentenced
Manowar

 

They are metal actually. Even their new cd. But not as much as their older stuff.

 

Black Sabbath
Metallica
Megadeath
Motorhead
Iron Maiden

 

if I start smacking a guitar around and calling myself metal, am I?

 

GN'R
Slipknot....(Yea, they're metal.)
Cold
Metallica (Their old stuff.)
Shinedown

 

you don't even have to put "their old stuff" for Metallica
NOONE likes the new stuff, not even them

and I still disagree about slipknot being metal

 

Coal Chamber
Pantera
Sepultura
Mudvayne
Deftones

Might not fit your classic metal definition, but I like them.

 

it has nothing to do with being classic, Disturbed is on my list, so is Alice In Chains, runners ups include Godsmack, Vanilla Ice's metal, Mindless Self Indulgence
it's about it being Slipknot, they have like 8 songs I might call metal, the rest are jsut "ohh let's try to be creepy and cool and angry, and do a shit job"

 

I know a lot of people that like Metallica's new stuff....

I don't think she was talking about your Slipknot remark.


How can you sit there and disagree that Slipknot is metal and list Vanilla Ice as one of your runners up? You sick fuck....

 

I am guessing you haven't heard any (or much) of his metal?

 

I have. I'm guessing you're deaf.
