3 Metallica bassists in the top 5... list is invalid lol. I literally LOL'd when Trujillo's clanky, rusted shit sounding bass followed Harris's acoustic bass solo from Blood on the World's Hands.

@mechaghostman2 You get sick of people mentioning 'that little pop tend fag', but don't get sick of teenagers reaching out for validation by declaring their musical superiority over their peers?

And there is a such thing as a talented rapper. Since you mentioned him, download and listen to (REA...

@Aotearocka So Lemmy was not only the inventor of metal but a time wizard. It's quite a feat to simultaneously invent a genre while being a part of its second wave. New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Lemmy was part of it. Zeppelin and Sabbath, both metal, were almost a decade before it, as were...

@whoopdycrapusernames I take it you've never heard of Europop.

@Minecraft2789 Definitely Lennon.

@stupidvampiretwat Your comment is contradictory. To generalize all metal as "angry smashing" shows that you don't appreciate musical art, or maybe you just forgot that Deep Purple was considered metal in the 70s and was a huge influence to the NWOBHM as well as American thrash metal.

Maiden is my all time favorite band and I love this cover. When I listen to a newer generation of musicians paying respect and tribute to their idols, this is what I want to hear. I don't want to hear the same structure with increased distortion and pop-punk vocals. I want to hear a band take ...

Kinda sounds like their material from Load/Reload. Going back to their 90s formula?

@TheRealDerfMan Pop divas have been around for just as long as rock stars. Keshas and Beyonces are nothing new. Iron Maiden's latest album hit #1 on pop charts in 30 countries. Rock is far from dead.

In what way does the radio shove music down your throat? I would have never known who half of...

Interesting to see the comments about Maiden sucking. I guess Hansen's decision to do a songwriting collaboration with one of Maiden's guitarists was a bad idea then?

I guess I'm just confused as to how an awesome band is directly influenced by a shit band.

@6S6l6a6v6a You have to listen to the lyrics in context of the album. The woman he loved was just murdered. It's a coping mechanism, telling himself that he doesn't believe in love, never did, didn't need it, had no time for it. He's clearly hurt and saying these things to mask his feelings.

...

@crob647gtx I agree that the piece is beautiful, but critiquing music and performing music are two very different professions and doing one does not imply or require skill in the other and they should not be compared, no more than if the pianist were to make critical comments about the piano manu...

@junkhead412 I think you mean not fast enough.

@pcdd11pj Not really... Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Led Zeppelin were all founded in 1968 and all provided the blueprints for every metal band thereafter.

Judas Priest also rejected blues influence in metal while Black Sabbath embraced it.

@JMCDS45 I agree with your point on the growls. They're out of place. They don't belong. Even if it wasn't Priest, they would sound ridiculous.

But I still like the album. This is one HEAVY and fucking aggressive album. Priest has something in their catalog for almost any mood that I'm in. ...

It's really too bad Iommi met Tony Martin. Those five albums could have been great if I didn't have to sit through and bear Martin's ghastly voice. Iommi is my favorite guitarist and always will be, but man he burned a lot of bridges with band members. This album would have been unreal with Di...

@burnthiscorpse Actually, it revived when he left the band, unless you enjoyed the musical direction that Chameleon and Kiske's solo career was taking.

There's more to metal vocals than screams. As much as Kiske's tenor in his early career still sends shivers down my spine, Deris is a considera...

@TheTruMetal Metal was never Satanic or misanthropic until idiots started misinterpreting the message. Bands that go on about worshiping the devil or genocide are the real posers. They thought it was cool. Underground fans thought it was cool. Neither really have a grasp on what heavy metal m...

@blacknganga Not entirely true. Though I agree that stating that Rocka Rolla is more important to metal than Black Sabbath is rubbish, Judas Priest are still important pioneers. That dual lead guitar sound wasn't exactly new to rock (Wishbone Ash, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc), they sur...

@Grimblix And yet, all of it crumples under the might of a single tin foil hat.

@tehgrim08 Listen to NIB by Black Sabbath (released in 1970). Butler's intro bass solo was considered groundbreaking for being one of the first uses of the wah-wah pedal with a bass guitar.

@pet3rgriffin This song was written almost 20 years before Rob joined the band... before Kirk even joined the band, actually. Songwriting is credited to Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Dave Mustaine.

@Pi8ikorockas96 Iommi, Butler, Ozzy, and Ward will always be my favorite line up.

But The Devil You Know is without a doubt one of the best metal albums of all time. It's simply a masterpiece. It's like the end result of 40 years of Iommi's experience, influence, and innovations. 40 years bui...

@jamesthepyro1 Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, Metallica, Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, Death Magnetic.

9.

I laughed at the highest rated comments. Nothing else.

Holy fucking bass kicker, Batman.

Musically, it's a sound album. People only don't like it because they're stuck in the "THARS NO DISTORTION GUITAR AND DOUBLE BASS DRUMMING DURR HURR IT SUX" loop.

It's attitudes like this that caused Kiske to leave the metal scene. Narrow minded morons who are all about image and care nothing ...

@1N4148 Grats and good luck in the future!

@JPhinfan86 I think you mean to say that Megadeth has released 16 greatest hits albums and that Load/Reload almost have enough good songs for one album.

Dunno why everyone is hating on this so much... no he's not as good as Halford (how many people are, honestly?), but he's far from horrible. There's really nothing WRONG with his voice at all, other than lacking Halford's range. He would have made a great hard rock vocalist (which is the direct...

@vengadorpancho lol yeah in retrospect, a comparison to Mercury and Dio is a little over the top. I just dropped those names because I picture them as the pinnacle of their respective vocal capabilities.

To be honest, I can't decide who I prefer between Kiske and Deris. Apples and Oranges to m...

Black Sabbath is my second favorite band of all time... and I still find it a little difficult to listen to Martin's vocals... he really does have an awful voice x.x

Iommi's as good as ever though. Pure genius.

Possibility of another album with Ozzy, apparently. If their writing is anything l...

@bbpinhead In Metallica, they all pretty much hate each other XD Watch their Some Kind of Monster documentary.

But yeah, I know where you're coming from. Bands that play together for 20, 30, 40 years... that's a special bond. Most of my favorite bands are those ones like Maiden and Priest. I...
