Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Iron Maiden vs. Iced Earth The original is always better than the knockoff. Sepultura vs. Megadeth There's really one Megadeth album I can listen to in full, despite their impact and Dave's talent. Pantera vs. Dream Theater Partially for nostalgic purposes due to Dime's death, partially because I hate guitar wankery that has no purpose. Judas Priest vs. Helloween I'm a bigger Helloween fan than I am a Priest fan, but Priest and Sabbath and Maiden are the trifecta of old-school British metal. Black Sabbath vs. In Flames Fuck Gothenburg. And fuck everything after Clayman, too. Slayer vs. Ozzy Osbourne I'm really sick of everybody creaming themselves over Ozzy's solo career. It sucked outside of a few songs, Randy Rhoades is overrated, and there's a reason Ozzy resorted to a reality TV show to regain popularity. Metallica vs. Emperor Mostly because I can't get into black metal, since St. Anger was inexcusable. Motörhead vs. Anthrax Lemmy is God. Belladonna sucks. SOD > Anthrax. 'Nuff said.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Iron Maiden vs. Iced Earth Sepultura vs. Megadeth - This one took an awful lot of time to think about. Pantera vs. Dream Theater -This one simply came down to personal preference, as it was a tough decision Judas Priest vs. Helloween Black Sabbath vs. In Flames Slayer vs. Ozzy Osbourne Metallica vs. Emperor Motörhead vs. Anthrax - Close one, but Lemmy comes through.

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Iced Earth got screwed. Iron Maiden Megadeth Pantera Judas Priest Black Sabbath Slayer I'm abstaining from Metallica/Emperor. I don't listen to Emperor, and I refuse to vote for Metallica. Anthrax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomguy 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Where are KMFDM and Queensryche? Anyway: Iron Maiden vs. Iced Earth No brainer, Iced Earth is ok but nothing special. Sepultura vs. Megadeth Metallica is already here and they play a similar style to I count out Megadeth. Pantera vs. Dream Theater I've outed myself as a fan of wanking. Judas Priest vs. Helloween Judas Priest is of course the much more "important" band but I've never really liked them. Black Sabbath vs. In Flames No contest. Slayer vs. Ozzy Osbourne Again no contest, I'm surprised Ozzy is here at all. Metallica vs. Emperor No explanation needed. Motörhead vs. Anthrax Ditto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they only have two albums with only one being a real classic. You know, I don't know why. They're too borderline of a hardcore band, though. Some of their songs are straight-up speed/thrash metal, and others are just pure hardcore (most of Bigger Than The Devil, for example). At least with Shadows Fall and Sepultura (both of whom I nominated) the metal sides shine while the hardcore influence is present but not overpowering (though in Sepultura's case, I suppose their influence on hardcore is bigger than hardcore's influence on them).

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 While I agree with you, K, Megadeth did have a bit more impact on metal, and are one of the most popular bands of the style. When reciting great speed/thrash metal bands of the 80's, nobody EVER misses out on Megadeth. Exodus and Testament? Yeah, people forget about them. But not Megadeth.
