Greatest metal band ever???????

[CrawlinClodKiller]

What defines greatest? If it is most popular, best selling, longest running, metal, not just rock, I would think Metallica. I could be wrong and I know everyone says they sold out, but music is a business after all.

Jethro Tull. Hey, they beat out Metalica at heavy metal hall of fame one year. Any metal band that's got a flute player is boss in my book.:ror:

That's funny.....Jethro Tull is one of my favorite bands of all time.....I've seen them quite a few times now.

Yep, exactly. IMO, Zepplin is not a metal band. They play good hard rock....but not metal.

They started METAL, you dumn ass. That was almost 40 years ago whilste you were a "dreamed" trickle oozing from your gramma's panties.:shock: Fawking children.:lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

[Knarly Nerd]

The man said "greatest metal band ever!).

Who has influenced more lead singers, and more lead guitarists?

Plant and Page, so the obvious answer is Led Zep, hands down.



Too many youngsters here talking about "good" bands, but not the greatest.
Theres the test of time, impact, and influence.

Fawkin' a!

 

[Knarly Nerd]

I actually just like their name.:mrgreen:

:roll: Fawk, why stop there.....Elvis started it. :roll:

Reading the drivel that spills from your mouth, yet I'm the child? :roll:

 

[War Pig]

Gotta be Sabbath or Metallica.

The correct answer is machine head

Your right. It was a stupid comment and I retract. I'll right it off to the rare mood I experienced last night. As a general rule, I try not to flame people.

However, I still believe you are incorrect about Led Zeppelin.

Another older group to throw into this mix is Iron Butterfly. "Ina Gada Da Vida" (sp?) is a classic, original metal hit. In those days (mid 60s), we did not call it metal...at least not until Led Zep hit the seen.

However, I still believe you are incorrect about Led Zeppelin.

I can agree with the fact that Led Zepplin influenced many different bands....including those metal bands of today. However, I still do not believe them to be a metal band.....certainly not the "greatest metal band ever"....

Yes, I still own quite a few LZ records.....even the Iron Butterfly record you refer to (gotta love one song on side A and about 4 on the other side), but again, I don't think they are metal. Both are great rock bands....

[Mr.Slave]
