Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell"

Agree very much my friend.

Ahh crap My favourite three are Maiden, Sabbath and Old Metallica. I really don't know. I guess my vote goes to Maiden because they are the more obvious choice but they really don't take over the other two

  Out of the choices given, I have to say Slayer, Hell I would have said Slayer even if they weren't one of the choices, second place would go to Pantera (are they still around?).

  Metallica rocked up until the black album when they started making money, even though I like some of the stuff they did after that, I don't think they've done anything that compares to "Ride the Lightning" or "Master of Puppets", seems like they kinda went "radio metal", and their latest CD, while being an attempt to sound young again, it just didn't do it for me, like the damage has been done you know?

  Megadeth was also great early on, but the last few CD's started to sound like Dave was running out of good ideas, the music was starting to sound a little too melodic and "poppish" or something, despite his injuries, it was probably a good idea for him to go into retirement anyway, just like all bands should do before they go gay.

  Priest, Maiden and Sabbath although cool back in they day are kind of like "Granddad metal" now, dontcha think?

  I used to be the biggest Kiss fan in the world when I was growing up, but I never considered them "Metal", they are like the kings of theatrical showmanship but their show hasn't changed in 30 years, and they have far too many gay songs to be "metal".

  Even Pantera's last couple of CD's were starting to sound "stale", not nearly as catchy as the early stuff.

  So Slayer wins because they have never gone "radio" or "gay", they still make some of the heaviest music out there and never sound like they are trying to get on the radio or make money.
  SLAYER RULEZ!!

Maiden? Grandad metal? I don't think so. Their last album went number one here for a while. They still pack out the live shows as well. And in case you haven't noticed Ozzy is really quite famous and whenever the original line up of Sabbath do a show people go crazy.

If you can find a more powerfull singer than that one man air raid siren Bruce Dickinson then I will be surprised.

I REALLY wanted to add them, but figured that Kiss would be more popular - tho I shud've put Dream Theater in - no-one has voted for Kiss.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Thanx. Carl

im with dream theater then 

I'd advise you guys check out a band called Amplifier. They kick butt. They are sort of laid back Progressive Symphonic Metal wierdness. I love em.

old metallica is awsome, but it comes no better than the original metal: sabbath

Damnation & A Day just kicks ass!

Thanx. Carl

  Now yer talkin'!
  Type O Negative is one of the most underated bands out there, I like everything they have ever done but still consider "October Rust" to be one of my favorite recordings of all time.
  Cradle of Filth just plain rocks!! I have most of their CD's and the DVD, unfortunately I didn't catch them on tour with Type O, I went to an earlier Type O show on the same tour with Lacuna Coil opening. I've seen Type O several times now but have never had the chance to see Cradle, my brother saw them at Ozfest last year.
