ATTENTION: The video wasn´t uploaded at my bithday

[tapion123]

ok slipknot is my favorite band and theyre fucking metal nu metal if your pushing it

[tapion123]

gwar is strickly metal and thrash i think

[YuzaGemu]

tool is the best of all experimental / alternative / progressive metal bands =D ...and its my favourite band ^^

[avi200100]

the one from mr. bungle?

[guitarded927]

A lot of shitty old school bands, but at least you put Tool where they belong!

[TheZastava101]

Maybe 6 of these are actually alter metal...

[herewecomeagain94]

80% of these bands are not even alternative metal

[TheElectricGoop]

Mr. Bungle, System of a Down and best of all TOOL! Great list!

The Japanese can kick ass too! Dir en Grey and Maximum the Hormone are a few bands from Japan that I could name that could up there with Tool.

I love international music, Its best to like as much as you can. Regardless of counrty or genre (Allthough the NEW gangster rap is just so irritating in my opinion. Rap from the golden ages is much better...)

[Ninololcss]

@TheHybridth3ory that bands are not hard/heavy alternative metal. they are more like alternative rock.

[TheHybridth3ory]

@Ninololcss no three days grace is alt metal, breaking benjamin is alt metal, and linkin park used to be alt metal also rage against the machine is pretty sick with alt metal tho they rap

[cmm98]

[the6black1ripper9]

RATM IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[juanitocarlitos77]

Sound Garden and Alice In Chains are grunge. just saying 

[Ninololcss]

[Painball666]

[StanHowser]

@the2metaller

The Prison Song

[EkoArt]

[TheTransexualTaco]

Tool

[chobitz7]

Godsmack is like the only band on here is think sucks.

most alternative metal lists SUCK ASS

congrats bro.

[muslimmetalman]

@godlover333 i actually agree right here haha.

btw read the book "God Stories" for some inspiring stuff

[muslimmetalman]

@Suckerpunchx17 are u joking?

3DG is a generic mainstream band like Linkin Park and Papa Roach

Guitars drums,etc sucks with them

If you like 3DG you'll love Deftones

[muslimmetalman]

@godlover333 are u joking?

Deftones

Primus

Helmet

Faith No More

Factory

but yeah, some of them just suck...

[muslimmetalman]

@godlover333 haha i love God too but Korn and SOAD are not the best...

[uLtRaOfBrAiNlEsS]

Ministry *-*

[ebeaver15]

btw, whats the Mr. Bungle song?

[ebeaver15]

@121689jsr Well all of these bands are hard alternative bands, and thats why the genre hard alternative is in the title.

[Mentox2]

Mr.Bungle!

=D

[zooyorkskater91]

what are the songs from gwar and white zombie?

[StanHowser]

@zooyorkskater91

Gwar "Sonderkommando"

White Zombie - "Grease Paint and Monkey Brains"

[purplexit]

good job

[govinda678]

Yes! Tool at #1!! Best band ever!

[Niker335]

You just took a bad SoaD snippet. If it were up to me, I would have choosen the verse of Toxicity.

An yes, System of a Down is 1st.

[MWisthegamer]

Fuck! Where is Three Days Grace?

[kenseiharima]

@MWisthegamer they are not metal

[briplun]

Helmet is considered post hardcore

[muslimmetalman]

@briplun "alternative" means a different approach to heavy music.

Tool is prog-metal.

AiC is grunge.

Fear Factory and NIN are industrial.

They are all heavy though so they are considered "alternative" metal

[briplun]

@muslimmetalman Ok...All I said was Helmet is considered post-hardcore....if ur gonna put labels on metal/rock bands...

[muslimmetalman]

@briplun but they are also considered alternative metal :)

[MortatMusic]

godsmack is way to low slipknot is way to low system of a down is way to low

[dikobrazful]

tool is incredible group

[dmars5]

TOOL deserves no 1. SOAD isn't and will never be better than TOOL, and that's a fact so stop crying about it.

[Ninololcss]

@dmars5 there arent any numbers men the one who made this video just wanted to show the bands.

[larsyhassy]

there's no way in hell that SOAD is better than TOOL ! only a noob would rate SOAD above TOOL, so whatever he did is great !

[VallainVallain]

nice stuff!

[omgbrian]

nonono this is it

1 - PAPA ROACH

2 - GODSMACK

3 - THREE DAYS GRACE

4 - AVENGED SEVENFOLD

5 - SYSTEM OF A DOWNl

[MortatMusic]

@omgbrian my opinion

1 - Papa Roach

2 - Slipknot

3 - Breaking Benjamin

4 - System Of A Down

5 - Godsmack

[omgbrian]

@MortatMusic PE SOAD AND GODSMACK ;D but slipknot is fading out and bb is too soft :/ ..... but 3 of them are awesome xD

[MortatMusic]

@omgbrian breaking benjamin is too soft eh...

[muslimmetalman]

@MortatMusic ugh...generic rock sucks Papa Roach AX7 all crap

[TheHybridth3ory]

@MortatMusic not really

[Ninololcss]

@MortatMusic papa roach? shot up men

[TheHybridth3ory]

@MortatMusic thats a good list

[MrSystemOAD]

But on the REal... System should probably be #1 like "LEGALLY" especially with all their accomplishments, they've done like the most with what they have compared to all these other bands..

[Moonstruck220]

Yay for Mike Patton grabbing TWO spots on the list. ^.^

[Moonstruck220]

Yay, Mr. Bungle is on here! I love the shit out of them.

[Moonchipz]

Why did you use the shitty version of the Prison Song?

[FuckLinkinParkHaters]

[StanHowser]

@FuckLinkinParkHaters

Fear Factory - "Resurrection"

Faith No More - "Midlife Crisis"

Tool - "Lateralus"

[FuckLinkinParkHaters]

[eSskare619]

what song is that from white zombie in the vid?

[firestream93]

@eSskare619 Hey...if you haven't got an answer yet...it kinda sounds like "Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psychoholic Slag"

[MrBaerlibaer]

Sind ei paar gute dabei aber die Band -> SWANS<- , das hört sich nicht nach musik an.

Ist jedenfalls meine Meinung.

[TVDarkAngel]

where the fuck is linkin park, muse, my chemical romance, three days grace, 30 seconds to mars and metallica?!!

[infcaat]

@TVDarkAngel Do you really think that Muse is "Hard Alternative/Alternative Metal" ?

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@TVDarkAngel Non of those bands are alternative metal (linkin park were but know they're not even metal anymore). Metallica? They're among the founders of thrash, they got nothing to do with alt.

[TheHybridth3ory]

@TVDarkAngel linkin park and three days grace are the only good ones on that list the rest arent alt metal but metallica is fucking beast

[laneryda]

Deftones-13? Why..they should be #1

[superdragon4ever]

Good thing you put Faith No More in there.

[CaptMorgasm]

Very Nice with tool for first!!!!.

[VpetoandmylesV]

wheres mushroomhead! :@

[TheOnlySucker]

@VpetoandmylesV right question dude!!! 

[Mordragful]

why isn't there disturbed

[DavidBizkit]

whats the song from slipknot?

[ForeverLovinYah]

wtf dude, system of a down should be number one ;)

[0oroniiieo0]

1# Marilyn Manson FTW!! :D

[LindsayHands]

Linkin Park too Nuy? Well at least you got many alternative metal bands I know there that I enjoy like Deftones, Nine inch nails and Korn.

But why is Minstry there when that's more industral?

Irony Alert!

[sebslop]

System of a Down should be #1

[Serj511Guitar]

@sebslop No, Tool should...

[mentalfeed70]

@sebslop na janes addiction should be but soad should be in the top 5

[Dethpott]

Most of these bands aren't Alternative at all.

[SnoringMonkeyExhibit]

@Dethpott Alternative can mean anything from grunge to avant-garde. They are just "altenatives" to generic acts.

[MrRamzies]

godsmack ftw!

[TheReaper325]

nine inch nails and tool woop woop xD

[Benzinkind]

nice old picture of system of a down, where did you find it?

[Punishem1391]

[kornino]

I'm ok with this list but in another order.

[TheBillyMaysShow]

Nine Inch Nails & System of a Down :D

is linkin park Nu Metal?

[TheHybridth3ory]

@TheBillyMaysShow linkin park is nu metal, rap rock and alt metal and the old stuff, today they are alt rock but still kicking ass in my opinion

[TheElectricGoop]

@TheHybridth3ory Linkin Park and Three Days Grace are just standard rock...

[TheHybridth3ory]

@TheElectricGoop linkin park is stantard rock they used to be alt metal and nu metal, three days grace is hard rock, post grunge, and alt metal

[TheElectricGoop]

@TheHybridth3ory hard rock for Three Days Grace I can agree with, but alt metal... I don't know...

[TheHybridth3ory]

@TheElectricGoop some of their songs such as riot,home,overrated,take me under are alt metal

[SangsterBoy]

KoRn!!!!

[SpiritSharkGIN]

why is System of a Down #16 -.-

i think they should be no 1

[felipx12]

@SpiritSharkGIN and fear factory in 19 is unfair ...

[FuckLinkinParkHaters]

@SpiritSharkGIN How do you know it's in order of best to less better?

[Serj511Guitar]

@SpiritSharkGIN No. Tool should be number. Blows everyone out of the water.

[KTCommunity]

@Serj511Guitar here in this video tool is num. 1 but not in my opinnion ... System of a Down HAVE to be no 1
