Well Metallica's new stuff can't really be qualified as "Metal," but they're still among the best "Rock" bands of all time. AC/DC is among the elite as well. I would have to say the best Metal Band would be Metallica, however...nontheless. Come on folks, they're getting up in age. They've matured. They're just not the metal maniacs they used to be. I like their newer sh** better than their older stuff anyway!
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND
METALLICA!!!! No one will disagree,will they? This band just never stops getting better.Load,Re-load all classics.The B.O.C.cover of Astronomy off of Garage Inc.is for sure one of the meanest,heaviest songs EVER! Metallica RULES!!!
