The list is missing Brittain's finest: Iron Maiden!
Also missing: Manowar, HammerFall, Stratovarius, Death, Saxon, Immortal, Queensr˙che, Helloween, Entombed, Pantera, Exodus, Vader, ...


Slipknot; worst band ever!!! Still angry they closed Graspop Metal Meeting on Saturday last year (headliner should've been Slayer, they deserve it, not those masked wannabes!)

For the last time, I wrote this poll at 11:30 at night and just wrote down the bands that immediately appeared in my head.

But I do agree with you on the Slayer deserving the opening instead of Slipknot, but 'Knot doesn't suck, they're just different than all the rest of the metal bands. [a little]

P.S.: for anybody that would know, what is GWAR's best album?

Whoo another Dream Theater fan. :brain: Yeah Dream Theater is one of my favourite bands, just incredible all around, every member of the band is like tops in their category.

Have ya gotten a chance Xikarita to see "score" dvd of their 20th anniversary live performance yet? Just an amazing show honestly everyone was perfect that night, one of the best live dvds of all time, imo.

Actually, and even though I acknowledge their extreme technical skill, that's not the main reason why I like them.

It's the way they manage to sound emotional despite of all that virtuoso stuff. Petrucci's lyrics can be so profound. Check out ''As I Am'', that's just how I feel.

Totally agree, they have some really strong songs for emotion, Hollow Years is one of my favs for that, and yeah As I am another strong song, as is Innocence Faded another great track off awake, Petrucci is one of the strongest writers in the group for lyrics, but Portnoy also can write some good ones like his twelve step program he is writing in the albums (The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, The Root of All Evil.)

Now hear this: GWAR has the most twisted/weirdest metal lyrics on the planet.

...IMO, of course.
