Nothing else matters - Metallica.

Defiantly one of the best Metallica songs, my personal favorite would be battery. When the world thought love and peace would save all. Come on the opening bass line was used for the MTV news cast for like 10 years. Good job. We are hoping to eventually work on a solution for this when we have the resources to do so.

I Mean this song has everything. X Japan? I got an insight into his mindset and how he made the music which made me appreciate it even more.

The riffs are regal and theatrical, and the vocals are top-notch. Ensiferum are a Finnish folk metal band; one of the leaders of the genre. When I first heard it, it was a total game changer. It makes America look evil and stupid, which was, of course, bound to be embarrassing to America, hence why the name of the album was then changed to "Paranoid". It is time for people to understand that Metallica is not that amazing and to see that Slayer is the best thrash band and that they have released maybe the best thrash album ever with one of the best metal songs ever amd that song is Angel of Death. I'm no Vietnam War buff, but I think everyone knows that America made a huge mistake of invading Vietnam, and War Pigs takes advantage of this. DIE! The riff and the solo are insanely good, the drumming is excellent and don't even get me started on Rob Halford...just a masterpiece! Peace Sells should at the very least be in the top 20, it's easily one of the best and most recognizable metal songs of all time, not to mention an absolute classic. \m/, ....well this is a pretty heavy metal hub indeed and a brilliant and passionate one at that - your Led Zeppelin question caught my eye - I was fortunate enough to see Zep perform live back in the day in 1974 in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens with John Bonham - I was 16 years old at the time and you have a grand assortment of music hubs here my friend - I have started a new group at FB called LET'S JUST TALK MUSIC OR CINEMA and I would love to have you join and post some videos or just discuss your favorites in music - my name is Colin Stewart with the same profile picture - so just click the group logo and name for a direct link and I really hope you can make it ......check out Blue Cheer on You Tube for the roots of heavy metal and did you catch that wonderful history of metal doc as directed by Sam Dunn, p.s.

Working Class Hero - John Lennon (but I've always been partial to John Lennon), I love that Comfortably Numb is is your number 1! We asked HIM to choose 12 songs from the black metal realm that have inspired him throughout his career – here are his picks.

The subgenres of heavy metal are humungous. It builds into a bridge with some of the best riffing Metallica has ever done, and the song bows out with a long guitar solo. I don't know about you guys but I LOVE this song. And yes, Iron Maiden are the greatest metal band of all time - until Metallica trounced them. I think it's highly underrated by people too closed minded in their favorite bands music to really think. I'm glad you liked the hub.

The classic of classic metal. How in the hell is this not number one? Here is my opinion of the best metal songs of all time: 1.

4. My top 5: War Pigs, Holy Wars, Painkiller, Hallowed, Black Sabbath.
