AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Okay, first off, we're viewing the term "metal" as being subjective, yet again. Secondly, this is just for fun. Okay, now here's how it's done. I'll post a list of bands, and all you have to do, is cut and paste the list in your post and say how many albums of each band that you have. Double albums count twice, boxed sets are based on how many MUSIC discs are contained in it. For example, DVD's that come with boxed sets do not count. I'll be awarding points based on how many CD's you have of each band, and how important that band is to metal (or hard rock) in general. So if you have a shit load of Sabbath, Metallica, and Maiden CD's, you should consider yourself a front-runner. Here's the list; and please, no complaining if your favorite band isn't included, this is just for fun, and I needed 50 bands. AC/DC Accept Aerosmith Alice Cooper Anthrax Black Sabbath Blue Öyster Cult Deep Purple Def Leppard Dio Dream Theater Guns N' Roses Helloween Iced Earth Iron Maiden Jimi Hendrix Experience Judas Priest Kiss Led Zeppelin Manowar Megadeth Mercyful Fate Metal Church Metallica Mötley Crüe Motörhead Ozzy Osbourne Pantera Queen Queensryche Quiet Riot Rainbow Ratt Riot Rush Savatage Saxon Scorpions Sepultura Skid Row Slayer Testament Thin Lizzy Twisted Sister UFO Uriah Heep Van Halen Venom W.A.S.P.

That list makes me cry. Most of my shit is of the Death Metal and Grindcore variety. Too much hard rock on that list...WAY TOO MUCH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah, I know, but would a real death metal/grindcore fan give a shit if he's called a metal-head? Wouldn't that be considered an insult? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest macheteofodin Report post Posted February 15, 2004 What do you mean by "real death metal/grindcore fan?" I just like the music, man. I'm not one of those elitist metal people that shits on everyone. Sorry if I came off as one with my comment on your list, but that is a hard rock heavy list (which I probably didn't have to point out because you knew that). I realize I don't have to be told I'm a metal head, to actually be one. I just felt like replying because I thought it would be interesting to compare...and actually find out who the fuck Uriah Heep is. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Sorry if you misinterpreted me, man. I'm not a fan of death/grindcore at all, and thinking you were figured you wouldn't give a crap about being named best metalhead on some message board. It's hard to detect these things when you're typing BTW, your score was 3317, mine was 1785. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Call me weird, but I fail to see how owning albums for half of the bands on this list (little more, actually, since it's about 75% rock n' roll, and 25% metal) makes one the biggest metalhead. EDIT: Just read double albums count twice. AC/DC - 2 Accept - 0 Aerosmith - 1 Alice Cooper - 1 Anthrax - 0 Black Sabbath - 2 Blue Öyster Cult - 0 Deep Purple - 1 Def Leppard - 0 Dio - 0 Dream Theater - 3 Guns N' Roses - 0 Helloween - 1 Iced Earth - 2 Iron Maiden - 5 Jimi Hendrix Experience - 0 Judas Priest - 0 Kiss - 1 Led Zeppelin - 0. Most overrated band in existence. Manowar - 0 Megadeth - 4 Mercyful Fate - 0. Mercyful Fate fucking blows ass. FUCK KING DIAMOND. PICK A PITCH. Metal Church - 0 Metallica - 12 (and 2 tributes) Mötley Crüe - 0 Motörhead - 4 Ozzy Osbourne - 0 Pantera - 5 Queen - 1 Queensryche - 0 Quiet Riot - 0 Rainbow - 0 Ratt - 0 Riot - 0 Rush - 0 Savatage - 1 Saxon - 0 Scorpions - 0 Sepultura - 0 Skid Row - 0 Slayer - 6 (and 2 tributes) Testament - 0 Thin Lizzy - 0 Twisted Sister - 0 UFO - 0 Uriah Heep - 0 Van Halen - 1 Venom - 1 W.A.S.P. - 0. Blackie's a fucking tool. Whitesnake - 0. I have too much self-respect. Now, to prove my point about this list not being representative of metal, let's copy & paste the actual METAL bands on this list, shall we? Accept Anthrax Black Sabbath Dio Dream Theater Helloween Iced Earth Iron Maiden Judas Priest Manowar Megadeth Mercyful Fate Metal Church Metallica Motörhead Ozzy Osbourne Pantera Queensryche Rainbow Riot Savatage Saxon Scorpions Sepultura Slayer Testament UFO Uriah Heep Venom Okay, so a lot more than I thought. And you said no bitching about why my favorite bands aren't on here, but here are some bands that SHOULD be on here, because of both their popularity (while still being metal) and influence... Acid Bath Amon Amarth Black Label Society Cradle Of Filth Danzig Dimmu Borgir Down Exodus Fear Factory GWAR The Haunted Killswitch Engage Lamb Of God Marduk Nevermore Opeth Shadows Fall Type O Negative White Zombie I dub this list "Sir Inconsequential."
