BEST HEAVY METAL BAND

In regards to Alternica, the greatest fall from grace i have ever witnessed, they sound to me like a bunch of old tired men. As far as sabbath, I'll take ronnie james dio over ozzy any day, heaven and hell, can't beat it, I would really love o hear what kind of systems u heavy metal fans have, if u have the time, please email me and let me know what kind of gear u have. korn@idirect.com, I loved korns first cd, thought it was riveting, every album since then as been junk, yet i am stuck with the email account name of korn, oh well.

Deep Purple!

Is it a faux pas to use proper grammar and syntax in response to this thread? "Alternica"...first time I've heard that and I'm still laughing over that one. I agree the early stuff including "Puppets" and "Justice" qualify. Perhaps my age is showing w/ my concurrence on Purple. I'd also agree on Tool, throw Megadeth in for honorable mention. But the short lived outfit Blue Murder was a serious contender as well. Anyone else remember them?

I never saw Blue Murder, but I remember that they opened for Bon Jovi for a while. Skid Row opened for them when I saw Jovi. I wish I would have seen Quiet Riot back then. Night Ranger was a good band, and also Damn Yankees (with Shaw, Blades, Nugent). I saw Ted Nugent again a few weeks ago, he opened for KISS. He's crazy, guys...and almost funny. Now that was the loudest concert I've ever been to. Had my earplugs in for all but 3 songs! What godawful sound it was.....Def Leppard is my favorite band, and they're as good live as ANY I've seen, including the Stones (excepting all the extra stuff that goes along with the Stones).
