The Big Four
- Thread starter L3ggy
- Start date
That's what happens when you sell your soul for an ounce of Old Holborn though. They would never have reached half of the sales they have if they stuck to Metal. But they would have remained respected among the fans that made then what they are. The ones that put them on the map.
I do! I love those bands! Especially Kreator!
Endorama. Violent Revolution. Enemy of God.
The best three Kreator albums in my opinion.
Anyways, these are actually my personal 4 fav bands of all time. At one time, i would have said Metallica was my fav, but with crap like Load, reload, and St. Anger, i can't. That said I love Death Magnetic!!
But, my fac of the four is Megadeth. Then Metallica, then Slayer, then Anthrax. Thrash metal is THE best kind of metal!!!

My favs are: terrible certainty, Coma of Souls, Enemy of God, and Hordes of Chaos.

Acknowledging the whole concept of 'selling out' is infinitely more lame and dated than actually 'selling out'. :2 cents:
You really are clueless. Metallica can sell out ANY ARENA anywhere on the planet at any time. There are FEW bands that can do that. As far as great material, most artists release their best stuff early in their careers (Prince, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc.)

Metallica
It's Slayer for me :clap:
Yeah, this is the same problem I had. I flipped a coin and voted for Metallica.
Metallica did a cover of So What by the anti nowhere league but so f.... what. there great
Slayer!
It's a tough call for me between Metallica and Slayer.
Although it's true that Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger sucked, only a fool would deny that Metallica is one of the most influential bands in metal history, ranking alongside other Metal pioneers like Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. Kill 'Em All was the first full-length thrash metal album ever released, and many people consider Master of Puppets to be the greatest heavy metal album ever made. Ride the Lightning and Justice are also outstanding albums.
Slayer has never released a bad album, although for a couple of albums they did incorporate some nu metal elements into their music. At the time of its release in 1986 Reign in Blood was called "the heaviest album ever made" by Kerrang Magazine and remains of the greatest metal albums ever recorded. With its lyrics about Nazis, insanity, violence, and death the album was also a major source of inspiration for many early death metal musicians. Another heavy metal classic by Slayer is Seasons in the Abyss, and many fans consider it to be even better than Reign in Blood.
It's a tough choice, but I'm going to have to pick Metallica based on how incredible their first four albums are.
