just for you Barry
Yellow and Black Attack…had a girlfriend back in Stryper’s Hay Day she lived next door to Michael Sweet
.
I love GNR …but they ain’t metal.
and yet they’ve won several major music industry awards that call them just that.
I’m a fan of bands like Slipknot recently. Awesome to work out to.
Early Metallica (before the Black Album) I would consider good speed metal.
80’s Judist Priest
90’s Pantera
00’s Mastadon
.
80’s Metallica - Master of Puppets. Best by far…
90’s Lincoln Park - Metal w/ a DJ
2000’s - Slipknot/Korn - Hard and to the point

Wow…of all the fantastic bands in the 90s you picked those twits?

You don’t like Lincoln Park? I saw them @ HiFi Amphitheatre in Atlanta. It was Snoop Dog follow by Lincoln Park followed by Korn. It was a good show and LP held their own.
Disclaimer - I also saw Nickleback @ HiFi and I thought they rocked also. I was nice and buzzed for both…
Also, Motley Crew needs to fit in there somewhere. Shout at the Devil was bad ass!!! Not to mention all of their other stuff.
Why is this thread even continuing? I have answered and nothing more needs to be said.
orry Barry, Megadeth and Metallica may have sold more albums, but Slayer were harder, heavier, more talented, more aggressive, more metal, just MORE EVERYTHING than any of the others on your list.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Slayer, but no way they were better than Metallica or Maiden.
and yet they’ve won several major music industry awards that call them just that.
By people who don’t listen to metal. As stated before, Jethro Tull won a metal award. I don’t put much stock in it unless it actually comes from a metal source.

And Sean Penn won an Academy Award for “acting” in I am Sam…
Sam I Am was a good role, well played by Penn in my opinion but it certainly was no Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.
Penn went full retard, hence M~'s derisive comments.

M~ meant Penn didn’t deserve the award, right? If so then that is what I’m disagreeing with…?
You miss the point. Mojo is an expert and has distinguished hisself not only here with his understanding of musical roots, but also in the ST Investment Game - where he managed to turn $100K into $0.19 in a mere month. But I digress…
Homeboy never played the Slowtwitch investment game. Stop making shit up.
II did not say Skynyrd was Metal Defined, rather that Skynyrd via Freebird introduced shredding to Rock. Metal is nothing without shredding. It would be like you without your shitty attitude = boring.
All Rockoholics know that Freebrid was recorded in 1973 and the guitar solo in Freebird is the earliest and most pure example of shredding in the history of music.
Some would argue that the guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven (1970) is the earliest evidence of shredding, but to me, it is too short, so it really does not qualify. Eruption was recorded in 1978 and is without a doubt the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Therefore, the guitar solo in Freebird, all 4+ minutes of it, is the first evidence of authentic shredding. It is the Genesis of Metal. As I told Barryp, “The Etymology (to you, this means the earliest recorded occurrence) of metal dates to the early to mid 1970’s” and it is in fact Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Barryp has already honored me and my knowledge of Rock. This is a real photo of Barryp playing drums in front of the shrine he built in my honor:
GnR’s early stuff was identical to Motley Crue’s early stuff. For 1989, they were CERTAINLY metal. Remember, this was a very strange time for “metal”; finally shedding the hair metal craze, yet still not gaining the street cred that grunge and everything that followed achieved.
Guns were certainly metal. Just like 3/4 of Metallica’s LAME ASS library.
God Metallica is the supreme of suck. And Iron Maiden. We scratched our heads back in the day with Iron Maiden. It’s like drone music.
Here is the word my friends…
Early 70’s Black Sabbath
Late 70’s AC/DC
Early 80’s AC/DC, Judas Priest, Motel Crue but only the first two albums, mostly the first.
Late 80’s Guns n Roses. Everything after this is irrelevant.
90’s? totally irrelevant in any metal discussion. If you were there, you would know.
Best of all time? It’s a tie between mid-career Black Sabbath and AC/DC with Bon Scott, the greatest metal singer of all time.
Lets not forget popularity, sales, and HUGENESS in the discussion of GREATNESS. Greatness doesn’t mean you’re great and unknown. GREATNESS means you can make 60,000 people jump up and down. It would be very hard to top AC/DC or Guns-N-Roses.

I don’t know about that logic. The Backstreet Boys made 60,000 people jump up and down too it doesn’t make them great.
Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, old AC/DC, old Crue, old Metallica.
Just because some lame awards committee calls something metal doesn’t mean it is.
It’s ALL opinion of course.
I could be mistaken, and haven’t taken the time to check, but didn’t the Oulaws record “Green Grass and High Tides” prior to Freebird? That song has some serious guitar. Also see Ten Years After doing “I’m Going Home” at Woodstock. I can’t access YouTube at work or I would provide a link. By “guitar shredding”, are you saying that Skynyrd was the first band to play the guitar fast?
