[Bloodshot Scott]

I've heard a lot of crazy stuff about Maiden but never got into them (or even heard much of their stuff at all). I think I was too young.

For me it's:

Metallica
Korn
Megadeth
A Pefect Circle/Tool
Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine

I know NIN and RATM aren't considered metal by many but fuck that, they do a lot of neo-metal shit. I'd say Marilyn Manson but dude was just too wierd for me.

 

[trooper666]

Iron Maiden
Acid Bath
Slayer
Windir
Impaled Nazarene
and many many more

 

[Moonchild22]

Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Down
Anthrax
Pantera
Type O Negative

I know that's 6, but that's because...fuck you. That's why.

 

[METAL HEAD]

1 panfuckingtera
2 fucking slayer
3 megadeth
4 lamb of god
6 behemoth

 

[power-san]

Mortician
Carcass
Broken Hope
Repugnant Stench
Putrid Pile

I wouldn't say the best of all time, but some of the favs.
Metallica is the shit though, well anything prior to the black album (obviously)

Avenged Sevenfold (especially Waking the Fallen and Sounding the Seventh Trumpet album)
Slipknot
Tool
Lamb of God
Pantera
Korn

^^^ welcome to the board :wave2:. personally i don't like anything they did after waking the fallen.

I'm glad to see the support for Korn here. I thought people on the board hated them. Untouchables is a classic. Love that album. :hatsoff:
