Bah! Metallica are great, but Appetite for Destruction is the single greatest rock album ever released...

:banger:

[FFD]

Yes, but in the 80's Metallica released 3 masterpieces (And Justice for All aint too shabby either if you ask me) while G'NR only had 1. ;)

[Mr. Monster]

Well, seeing as how G n R only released one full length album in the 90's, it's kind of hard for them to have had more than one masterpiece.. They picked up their second and third in 91...

Unfortunately both "Use Your Illusion" albums contained mostly filler songs which could of easily been omitted to make one killer album. It's too bad they chose to include so much weak material on both releases.

GNR was great for a little while, but they can't compare with the success and longevity of Metallica. Axl is a major douche.

Hmm.. After spending 9 hours in the car this weekend, listening to G n R for a surprisingly large portion of that, I disagree somewhat.. I think UYI 1 is a fantastic concept album, with 95% killer songs.. Couple weak ones, but Don't Cry, NOvember Rain, Coma, Dead Horse, Don't Damn Me, Right Next Door to Hell, etc. are killer songs..

UYI II is filler that didn't fit the concept of UYI I, despite such great songs as Civil War and You Could Be Mine. So we split the difference, two masterpieces..

Now if Axl would just get off his ass and get Chinese Democracy out.. I've really liked the few songs I've heard off it..

[Nasty Ronnie]

No one else had Cacophony.....I am very dissapointed.

Jason Becker!!!!
Marty Friedman!!!
80's cheeze with full on shred!!!
Worst.vocals.ever

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ How can you go wrong

What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

[toyghoul]

My Favorites, Still listen to most of these now, on Cd instead of Vinyl, anyone remember vinyl?
Slayer- Show no Mercy, Hell Awaits. Reign in Blood, South of Heaven
Metallica- Kill, Lightning, Master of Puppets
Anthrax- Among the Living
Megadeth- Peace Sells, So far so Good.
Ozzy, Blizzard, Diary, Tribute
Dio- Holy Diver
S.O.D. Speak English Or Die
W.A.S.P. The 1st one, Hated the rest.
Motley Crue, Shout at The Devil, didn't like anything else they did. Their book The Dirt is a Good read though,
Iron Maiden- Everything up until the live record, Hated Somewhere in Time and all that followed......
The Misfits and the Ramones aren't considered Metal, but they are my Favorite bands no matter what decade and the most played here in the Basement......

[Eomer]

DDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEE!!!!
How could you hate Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! those alboms are golden!!!! Seriously, do yourself a favor and relisten to those albums. they're choice.

[bazooka]

OK guys and gals, while on the subject of 80's metal, let's address the ballad. While most will not admit to liking this sappy shit, I'm sure many of you out there still enjoy the tear jerking love songs put forth by such bands as Aerosmith, KISS and Bon Jovi. My personal fave: Tesla-What you give. Anyone else have a personnel favorite?

[scottstandridge]

and believe it or not..King Diamond

I believe it...I would have thought on a horror board that King would get more love. ;) "Abigail" and "Them" are both great albums, and would make fantastic horror films imo.

I think King Diamond is one of those things you either love love love or hate hate hate. Some people can't get beyond his operatic screech-and-growl singing, and some can't get into the horror-story-concept-album format. But if you can get into those things, then nobody does quite what King does.

If you're looking for some good horror metal, Abigail and Them are the best. "Conspiracy" is a sequel to "Them," and is pretty good too. I liked "The Eye" as well. However, he hasn't done anything nearly that good since then, imo. Still, I'm glad he did those.

[ghoulinagirl]

The 80s was a fabulous time to grow up, I mean we had awesome cartoons like Dungeons and Dragons, Pee Wee and Muppet Babies and the 80s metal was of course amazing. I grew up in a "banger" area. Motley Crue was a must, I admit I thought I was hot stuff with my long sleeve black n' grey Motley Crue Shout at the Devil shirt which I would wear with my black tight jeans, damn I wish I still had that shirt.
So Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Guns n' Roses, DRI, Venom....etc...

I still have my square 80s metal pins, one of Nikki Sixx (so hot), Motley Crue ones, and some Judas Priest.

I love King Diamond. There is something different about his vocals. Brings you to another plane when you listen to his music

Tonight my friend told me he didn't like Judas Priest... I am stunned.

Anyone who says they dont like Judas Priest should be dragged behind a porn theater and sodomized by Rob Halford. Living after Midnight, Breaking the Law, and You've Got Another Thing Coming, are forever burned into my brain as some of metals greatest anthems.

I just don't get into Priest.

I hate King Diamond's voices. Don't care for the music, either. Give me screechers and Drano-garglers any day!

"That's elevator music for head-bangers!":D

[evilive]

Did anyone see Priest with Slayer this summer in Toronto?

Other than being surrounded by balding sweaty 80s throwbacks, that show rocked hard!

Flaming Halford in leather and studs riding a motorcycle on stage - so cool for some reason...

[Regia di Jake Aaron]

I saw Judas Priest this summer and man do they put on great live show.

VickySQUIRT cam (http://camslivesexy.com/cam/VickySQUIRT)

[NOSLEEPATALL]

Lemme see, 80's had some good early death and other interesting metal

1. Celtic Frost
2. Hellhammer
3. S.O.D.
4. Megadeth
5. Death Angel
6. GWAR
7. Mentors
8. Anthrax
9. Mercyful Fate
10. King Diamond

Do note that Metallica is not on the list and for good reason as the bastards did try to sue me for DLing a song!!:saw: Besides they sold out big time:tongue:

Oh shit..I forgot SLAYER they are #1 so take out what ever band you want to make room:bludgeon:

[madam melva]

I definitely like to sample the following (in no particular order):

1. Plasmatics
2. Alice Cooper
3. Lita Ford
4. Poison
5. Motley Crue
6. Metallica
7. AC/DC
8. Twisted Sister

[teenagers from mars]

Iron Maiden!!!! No question. Anything from Killers, Number of the Beast, Peace of Mind rocked.

Also I'm gonna say Ozzy. I still listen to Ozzy. He is still a metal god. Diary of a Madman, Blizzard of Oz, Bark at the moon.

Slayer is damn good as well. They have an incredible sound and Kerry King just kicks ass. South of Heaven is a hardcore, ass kicking album. Killer guitar work and heavy vocals. One of the best albums by Slayer in my opinion. Followed by Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss.

Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil and Too Fast for Love also gets my vote. The Crue just kicked ass back in the day.

[JamesN]

A few of my favorites, off the top of my head and in no particular order:

- JUDAS PRIEST (Perhaps the greatest of all time? Welcome back, Rob n' Co.! Woohoooo!!!)
- L.A GUNS (God, I love this band -- when they're off they ain't so hot at all, but when they're on they're one of my favorites of all time)
- KISS (yeah, I even love the sans make-up years -- fits the topic)
- OZZY OSBOURNE (what has happened to this guy who used to scare the living *hell* out of parents?)
- GUNS N' ROSES (though I can really only say I *love* Appetite For Destruction -- one of the Top 5 Greatest Hard Rock Albums Ever Recorded, IMO)
- VAIN
- TORA TORA
- RATT (most of their stuff -- Stephen Pearcy's voice, IMO, was the sleaziest in rock history, which always bumped them up a notch for me even on the songs I thought were just "so-so")
- TESLA (unfairly lumped in with the whole "hair band" thing, IMO -- Tesla were just a good blue-collar rock n' roll band)
- CINDERELLA (ditto the Tesla comment above -- sure, their hair was taller than my friggin' house, but they were a great blues-based hard rock band)
- METALLICA (yeah . . . once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away . . . they turn my stomach now, though, just hearing Hetfield's voice; I can barely even listen to the old stuff I once loved)
- ANTHRAX (though I think the John Bush stuff blows away everything they ever did with Joey Belladonna, I grew up listening to these guys, so albums like Among the Living, State of Euphoria, I'm the Man will always hold a special place in my heart)
- MEGADETH
- BLACK SABBATH (no, of course it's not the real Sabbath by any means, but I even like quite a bit of their work with Tony Martin)
- ACCEPT (balls to the wall, mofo)



Showin' my age (and possibly my extreme uncoolness?) and not at all ashamed of it,



J.N.

[jMERRICK]

Great show. I loved how they pulled out all the classics. One problem though; Priest after Slayer? Halford and the boys sounded as heavy as Sharon Lois and Bram. Slayer in the rain...so romantic.
My metal list:
Metallica
Megadeth
Metal Church
Motorhead
(lot of "M" bands)
Voivod
DRI
Maiden
Priest
Slayer
and the grandaddy of them all;
OZZY fuckin OSBOURNE

I've always been more of a punk, but I really dug the heavy shit back then.

[Boudin Noir]

The S/T Metal Church album is an underrated Seattle classic although the follow up albums were never as good that first album still holds a place in my collection.

[Reverend_Doyle]

My definitive 80's metal list:

The Accused (never really considered them metal but what else wouldja call 'em?)
Anthrax
Dio
Exodus
GWAR
Iron maiden
King Diamond
Megadeth
Mercyful Fate
Metallica (their last good album was in 1989)
Nuclear Assault
Ozzy Osbourne
Slayer
S.O.D. (even though they're what's commonly referred to as crossover)
Testament
Venom

Hmmm...I'm sure there are others but can't really think of any more at the moment.

[LaMort]

one of my greatest concerts i saw *notice i snuck in underage on a skool night:

[LaMort]

more 80's Metal :

[lethaldread]

SLAYER \\m// !!

Most importantly everybody forgot Death !!

! Scream Bloody Gore !

[noah thirteen]

I would suggest checking out some more (proto) thrash/black metal bands like Sodom, Tankard, Werhmacht, Onslaught, Sarcofago, Living Death, Voor, Dark Angel, Death Angel, Carnivore, Possessed, Sacrifice, Destruction, Exodus....

I'd also suggest checking out great thrash revival like Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust.

Here's my list:

Motorhead
Bathory
Venom
Sodom
Witchfinder General
Hellhammer/Celtic Frost
Metallica
Diamond Head
Mercyful Fate
Sarcofago

Bonus #11:
Candlemass

[jMERRICK]

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Some of the bands mentioned are ones that I actually already like quite a bit. Mercyful Fate/King Diamond is something that I have been meaning to get into beacause the stuff I heard from them, I really dug.

I am more into the undergound/thrash stuff than the glam stuff.

Razor is another band that I would like to get to know better as well.

[noah thirteen]

Melissa is such a great record, I have the 2 x CD with that album and The Beginning (which has the amazing debut EP Nuns Have No Fun on it) but Roadrunner released a 25th anniversary edition with what looks like a bonus DVD and a really nice slipcase and great packaging.... I know I have a ton of other stuff to buy but I really feel like picking that version up for the live footage.

Don't Break The Oath is great too, but in my opinion nothing can touch the first EP and Melissa and it's all downhill afterwords........

[Fermentor]

MERCYFULE FATE (ep thru Dpnt Break The Oath)

EXODUS (Bonded By Blood only)

METALLICA (1's 3 albums only)

VENOM (Welcome To Hell/Black Metal only)

TROUBLE (1'st 2 albums only)

LOUDNESS (Law Of Devils Land/Dissilusion/Live Loudness Live only before the move to the USA)

DESTRUCTION (Infernal Overkill in particular)

VOIVOD (anything)

SLAYER (Show No Mercy thru Rain In Blood only)

MEGADETH (Killing Is My Business/Peace Sells/Rust In Peace only)

[noah thirteen]

Fermentor has quite an awesome list but I refuse to accept a Venom reference without at least some kudos given to At War With Satan.....

[madam melva]

Good question. I'll do my best in what groups I pick:

1. PLASMATICS
2. VIXEN
3. ALICE COOPER
4. POISON
5. METALLICA
6. MOTLEY CRUE
7. TWISTED SISTER
8. WARLOCK
9. GUNS & ROSES
10. MEGADETH

[Renaldo 'The Heel']

1) Iron Maiden
2) Metallica
3) Slayer
4) Megadeth
5) Anthrax
6) The Misfits
7) Judas Priest
8) Suicidal Tendencies
9) Overkill
10) DIO
11) Motley Crue

[Reverend_Doyle]

I never really considered The Misfits a metal band. It's weird seeing so many people mention Suicidal as a metal band when their first two albums were total hardcore. Okay, Join the Army was more crossover, I'll give ya that.

[Velvet Kiss]

For those of you who miss the 80's, and are intersted in a real live "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" event... This summer London has Rock in the Park happening.

I'm on the fence about this one, but here's the lineup:

EDDIE MONEY
LOVERBOY
SAGA
KIM MITCHELL
APRIL WINE
ALICE COOPER
QUIET RIOT
HELIX

and I hear they're after Cinderella and Whitesnake as well. If they get Poison or Def Leppard, I just may go. $70, 3 days... beer tents.
