Who is the number one metal band at the moment?

eric the head

with Ozzfest coming up i wondered to myself who i'd most like to see playing at it. Then i thought who is the top metal band at the moment . After looking through my collection and listening to the metal show on thursday , i've decided...... it has to be System of a Down !

EL_Diablo

i'd have to agree with that. v-mob coming in a close second. (a relatively unknown band but you should all hear their stuff. go here

Bull****! Pantera are the kings of metal.

Then Slayer, then In Flames and then Morbid Angel.

System of a down are not the best band, Metallica will always rule the metal scene, they are one of the godfathers of metal. Also Pantera come close but not close enough.;)

PiE

G.W.A.R!!!

El_Diablo, you do know theres a 15k (or smth) limit on sig images, right?

Frenzy

'Atari Teenage Riot'
There not really metal but if you like heavy harsh sounds check them out.
There in the 'Digital Hard Core' label

SO???

While they were Metal, they made some of the best Metal there is!
Doesn't matter what the **** they do now.
If they come over all glam rock, covering Abba, nothings gonna erease what they did in the past. It's just too good.


But on the subject:
Number one as in biggest selling?

Well, I'm gonna go ahead and say Opeth.

I never thought I'd say this but I've grown out of Metal......I was given a lend of System of a down's Toxicity album.....and it just sounded ridiciolus ......the vocals especially......

best Metal of any moment in my opinion Metallica 1983- 1990

Ciaran

System of a down are $hite

francie brady

ManOwaR

Four kings of metal,
Four metal kings.
Death to all false ones,
Dance on a string.

Other bands play ManOwaR kill


Enough said

Ryuji

Despite what some people say,

System of a Down without a doubt the best band At The Moment

Slayer and Pantera rule too!

Metallica are still my all-time favourite band though.

I HATE GWAR! I hate Slipknot too because they're ripping off GWAR.

screw this at the moment crap

iron maiden have recently grabbed me by the throat and thrown me towards the light.

they have technical skill; far surpassing any band i've heard in recent times.
metallica?
a business

slayer are okay;
just not as much skill in my head

like SOAD
just not enought skill; but they write good songs

anarchy

Poison

"every rose has its thorn
just like every morning has a dawn"

i did say at the moment !! Metallica are obviously the best ever but at the moment they aint so hot. on the irish scene i think superskin and eyes closed are about the best of what i've heard

DG - Corrupted

Go see Eyes Closed to-night then. They're playing wth X-Constant & Corrupted in Eamon Dorans. Doors at eight. Bout €6.
