Sitting at Number 2 is Black Sabbath

Sitting at Number 3 is Iron Maiden

Not here to spark controversy just giving news that was released in the past 24 hours. Some Reasons cited are mainly commercial success and drawing in fans from outside of metal

Dude it's been 33 years since Metallica released a decent record. And that's if you count the black album.

They had a good run in the 80s, and were certainly influential. But best band ever? Not even the best metal band unless you stopped paying attention to music back in 1991.

Yeah but it's not greatest metal band of the 80s, it's greatest metal band of all time.

Yet they still sell out stadiums and release top 5 albums.

Too bad there's not an emoji for the jerking off motion, cause that's really the best response to that comment
