i had a hard time deciding between Slayer and Pantera. I finally chose Pantera. Cowboys from Hell is a great song my friends.

Cowboys from Hell is a great song my friends.

"Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell"

Agree very much my friend.

Thanx. Carl

Jeezz, I really can't decide!  I mean, I love 'em all, except I'm not that fond of Pantera.  But it's a toss up between Megadeth, Sabbath, and Maiden.  And after thinking about it for a while I still can't decide, so I'll just vote for Megadeth, because Dave is awsome. ;D

 Out of the choices given, I have to say Slayer, Hell I would have said Slayer even if they weren't one of the choices, second place would go to Pantera (are they still around?).

 Metallica rocked up until the black album when they started making money, even though I like some of the stuff they did after that, I don't think they've done anything that compares to "Ride the Lightning" or "Master of Puppets", seems like they kinda went "radio metal", and their latest CD, while being an attempt to sound young again, it just didn't do it for me, like the damage has been done you know?

 Megadeth was also great early on, but the last few CD's started to sound like Dave was running out of good ideas, the music was starting to sound a little too melodic and "poppish" or something, despite his injuries, it was probably a good idea for him to go into retirement anyway, just like all bands should do before they go gay.

 Priest, Maiden and Sabbath although cool back in they day are kind of like "Granddad metal" now, dontcha think?Image

 I used to be the biggest Kiss fan in the world when I was growing up, but I never considered them "Metal", they are like the kings of theatrical showmanship but their show hasn't changed in 30 years, and they have far too many gay songs to be "metal".

 Even Pantera's last couple of CD's were starting to sound "stale", not nearly as catchy as the early stuff.

 So Slayer wins because they have never gone "radio" or "gay", they still make some of the heaviest music out there and never sound like they are trying to get on the radio or make money.
 SLAYER RULEZ!!Image

Sadly not - I believe Phil's too busy with Superjoint Ritual these days :(
Not saying they're a crap band - just, they're not as good as the mighty Pantera.

About Slayer - not going radio : THANK SATAN/GOD ;D
They have in my opinion THE BEST live show ever - seen 'em 5 times in 3 years.

Thanx. Carl

Countdown to Extinction is good, but Rust in Peace it way better! ;D

I think the biggest problem with Metallica's new musical direction is that they are trying to please a greater audience.  I think they should have just excepted the success they had with "...And Justice For All" and the Black Album, and moved on.  Just kept on doing what they do best, metal!  They shouldn't have gone chasing more money.

If you can find a more powerfull singer than that one man air raid siren Bruce Dickinson then I will be surprised.

Totally agree - only had the pleasure of seeing them once but..........

I REALLY wanted to add them, but figured that Kiss would be more popular - tho I shud've put Dream Theater in - no-one has voted for Kiss.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ;D

Have replaced Kiss with Dream Theater due to the fact that Kiss really aren't very METAL.
Now lets see how it goes :)

Thanx. Carl
