Well, neo, if you like Am I Evil, you should have heard the original by Diamond Head. I had the pleasure of seeing them live a few times, they should have been massive, bad management unfortunately.

Thumbs up for Thin Lizzy also.

Got to be Iron Maiden for me.

[Blackfoot]

Motorhead mmmmm

[hundreddolla]

AC / DC - Without a doubt. All the rest mentioned on this thread are but pretenders to the throne.

poinsy, I saw Diamond Head support Metallica and Megadeth at MK Bowl in 93. They were ok. Far better than the Almighty who were 3rd in the bill.

Does Slipknot do? just listened to Wait and Bleed.......

[johnizere]

Maiden/Motorhead/Metallica

just noticed...all begin with M

Sabbath....shocking omission!

[Blackfoot]

Another M Manowar !

[Memore]

ACDC or Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne

Dont want to be picky but Angus and Willie young from ACDC were actually Scottish and moved to Oz but the Aussies take credit for them!

[neo.]

Manawar once voted loudest band in world.

[Spinalfusion]

metallica...they werent gay and didnt dress up like all the other bands around them. they were just hard heavy and thrashy. they set the bar for heavy metal and i personally dont think anyone has passed them yet.
