I think Dave Mustaine has some face in his hair...
lol
PersonNumber666 The only time I've seen him without hair in his face is when it's an interview or video like sweating bullets, that's basically it.

Metallica is better than Slayer
10:Death
9:TOOL
8:Motorhead
7:Megadeth
6:Pantera
5:Slayer
4:Judas Priest
3:Metallica
2:Iron Maiden
1: Limp Bizkit
I'm kidding: 1 is Black Sabbath
Death is better than tool, and also replace tool with bathory
Bro bathory may be very influential and talented but tool is way more dedicated and accurate for best metal bands. As much as i listen to bathory
@@dracocorocks3502 the problem might be from me, but I just dont like tool, I have always found it boring, I might change my opinion and give them another chance, but for now, aint my thing
@@dracocorocks3502 everyone dosen't consider tool as a metal band
Replace Slipknot with Tool and Lamb of God with Megadeath (IMO)
I am disappointed. I was expecting Black Sabbath three times.
I was expecting Iron Maiden like 10 times.
Zeeshan Alabedin Priest was on the list
MetalFilms heh
MetalFilms Ozzy era, Dio era, Tony Martian era
WHERE'S DIO OR DANZIG
should have called it most influencial bands of all time
Exactly
+Keith Telesh Would make way more sense, most influencial bands, that is very true, they are iconic, but greatest ? This doesn't make any sense, it's all personnal taste
It's a personal taste. I actually agree with most of the list. Except I would put Motorhead higher than Megadeth and Pantera and Pantera lower than Megadeth. And I don't think Tool deserve a spot on this list, perhaps Venom or Mercyful Fate instead and I personally don't like Judas Priest but I recognize them as a fucking awesome band. If it was the more influential Venom would have to be here. Some of these bands weren't really that much influential, so I don't really agree, ate least there are some more influential...
I'll go along with that.
Eid Good to know man, thanks ;)
0:56 young jason newsted??? LOL
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess bassists look the same
Potato Man oh i see 🙃🙃
I thought so too lol
I think that might actually be him. It looks just like him.
I'm a simple man, i see rob and bruce together i click
Halford and Dickinson sang one song together on Halford’s first solo album and honestly it was disappointing!
actually agree with this list though, not bad loudwire
Anton, did you flip a quarter to see if you agreed with the list or not 😉?
Me too. This list is dope.
Anton chigurh I don’t, number 8 and number 9 are NOT metal bands. And Judas Priest don’t deserve to be so high because they made loads of stuff outside of the metal genre, liking “living after midnight”. God I hate that song. Their actual metal stuff kicks ass though.
@@kylerudney569 Motorhead definitely on this list they were a big part of metals rise. Tool is great i dont think it really should be on this list but i cant think of a quick replacement for them, and those 2 bands are definitely metal
@@kylerudney569 maybe Tool is rock/metal but motorhead isnt
My 10 best Metal Bands with no particular order: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Pantera, Slayer, Motorhead, Anthrax and Ozzy Osboure.
***** Yes it does, wikipedia that.
***** Alice cooper and King Diamond too, but they register the name as a band. But whatever, i just like ozyy, ok.
@@luckydominguez2654 Alice Cooper is the vocalist of the band Alice Cooper, Ozzy has a solo career. Not the same thing
Tool should be there instead of Ozzy
For me it would be
1. Pantera
2. Morbid angel
3. Sepultura
4. Crowbar
5. Machine head
6. Rammstien
7. ZZ top
8. Static X
9. Van Halen
10. Slayer
i love Motörhead but : "we are Motörhead, we play rock 'n roll"
Rob Halford is so brilliant!
Yes and somewhat overlooked
I knew before I even clicked this video, Black Sabbath would be number one.
As they should be
i knew Maiden would be number 2
Duh, they're the Beatles of metal.
They always are here no matter the topic lol
90% of metalheads dont know 5 motorhead songs
Bomber

Iron Horse / Born To Lose
Careful. Might start WW3 with that title.
You might predicted the future lmao
@@Oli-kg1ct I was gonna say that, fuck.
Priest, Maiden and Sabbath are honestly the most untouchable bands. Sabbath was the first metal band, priest was the first self described metal band, and maiden I see as the Figurehead of the NWOBHM which split metal into all of the wonderful and diverse subgenres we have to choose from today.
you forgot Justin Bieber he's so metal
I can't believe they didnt include One Direction either
why did they not put ariana grande in this list
Travis Goetz nah, Dora the explorer is wayyy better
Justin Bieber who is he?
-ozzy osbourne
Travis Goetz nah, you haven’t heard my favourite progressive avant - garde blackened symphonic slamming thrash djent pornogrind power brutal death with jazz influence band called Maroon 5
no dio? he's like the king of metal and one of the best rock singers ever.
I agree ogami lotto DIO would be in my top 2 for sure probably 1 ahead of maiden just
Yes i agree but this list is for bands
The King of Metal is Tony Iommi!
@@michaelvrckoff6966 dio top 1?hell NO! DIO is one of the best heavy singers but his band is not even in the top 3
Dio was once in black sabbath so it still counts
Black Sabbath will always be the first and greatest metal band ever
IRON MAIDEN
Dankus Memus They are amazing. But there will not be another Black Sabbath.
Dankus Memus black sabath is in another level
Sabbath forever \m/
Lmao hardly, Black Sabbath is great but there are so many other metal bands out there that are better, just because they were first doesn't make them the best
@ 2:48 that was some DAYUM smooth editing!!! Slow it down to see what happens. That needs to be in a top ten list of "10 greatest transitions in a TH-cam video"
THANK YOU for including Death. They dont get enough recognition.
wdym theyre like the most famous death metal band.
@@Flugmorph they get excluded out of lots of generic metal lists so to see it on an overall lost is nice
Megadeth only at seventh? What are you saying?
Should at least be 5
And Death at 10th.
It doesn't have order....
Number 3 megadeth
Don't mind, the guys at loudwire hate Megadeth, but they got no choice but acknowledge their talent, so they had to place Megadeth somewhere
I don't make lists, every band is awesome in their own way, i don't care about genres honestly.
404滅亡迅雷 um..... Nickleback, limp biscuit
@@AxelLopez-fe1vslol memes aside. Limp bizkit is pretty overhated. They're such a fun band.
Yeah, I heard that Bieber just got a new guitar player one of the baddest MF on the planet John Mayer😳😂
Metal is so legendary that deciding a top 10 including every essential band is nearly impossible. These 10 names come to mind when talking about both quality and influence.
1. Black Sabbath
2. Metallica
3. Iron Maiden
4. Opeth
5. Slayer
6. Judas Priest

I haven't seen it in the comments yet
Lol megadeath
There's no order

I don't think its quite fair to make a "top 10 best metal bands" because that limits the genre to basically just classic/heavy metal and thrash metal, and metal is probably the most varied and diverse genre of music, that has sub genres of sub genres. Whittling the "best bands" down to just these two main sub genres is a disservice to metal's strongest strength, diversity. IMO the closest you can get to ranking any kind of bands is at least the sub genre like "Top ten Death metal bands of all time" or "Top ten Black Metal Bands of all time" but even then I'd have to make it a top 15 or 20 because of how many amazing bands there are for each genre. Metal in general is too fucking amazing and has too many amazing bands to make any list with 10 spots. But that's just my opinion, grind on motherfuckers.
That may be true, but Black Sabbath inspired them all, so they are the best metal band.
Well said i agree. Id like to see a top 10 of each genre. Maybe 10 sub genres. Then so who the ten winners are. That being said I'm still more a classic/thrash guy that likes Dio & Slayer etc so my list would turn out pretty similar to loudwires
Lol metal is nowhere near the one of the most diverse genres of music dude
@@WillWright-lx4hf Dude, metal incorporates more genres of other music than any other, well, genre lmao. Classical, Jazz, Pop, electronic elements, and "trap metal" is becoming a thing with polyphia and other bands, and we had Nu-metal in the past. You're delusional.
Oh shut up and choose
Loudwire wanting to start fights by putting Megadeth under Metallica
Metallica is better tho. I would love to really like Megadeth but I cant get behind mustaines voice. It just bugs me for some reason
No way in hell Megadeth is better than Metallica

Megadeth and Metallica should be 2nd and 3rd but I like it.
Death should be higher imo
I would switch death and Dream theater with Dio and Rammstein but that’s my personal opinion
Because I haven’t listened to any of Death or Dream Theater’s songs
Jason Newsted? 00:57
Iron Maiden is easily the best metal bend ever.singing,guitars,drums,base and lyrics.its all there and their live performances are unequaled.
In your opinion. All bands are equally amazing in their own ways and respective genres.
@@PriyankaDas-fe6hm no fuck you IRON MAIDEN IS THE BEST BAND EVER AND IT'S FACTS YOUR OPINION IS SHIT IF YOU DISAGREE AAAAAAHHH
@@raspberrycrowns9494 😒 Iron Maiden are old school heavy metal band of NYOBHM and metal has evolved into much heavier subgenres. My opinion isn't dogshit and I have a broader perspective on metal music than you think you have CLOWN. I got into metal through Saxon, Iron Maiden, Venom and Motorhead and now I like much heavier stuff from death metal. Iron Maiden have been influential but it is very shallow to hail them as the best without having any knowledge of other genres. Notoriously black metal progenitors like Venom which were an influence on thrash metal have been left out. Record sales and overall popularity render them influential, not the best dumbass. Fuck you who has limited tastes.
@@raspberrycrowns9494 What's that AAAAAH for? Metal doesn't need to be appealing to anybody. It can be evil and gory too 😈💀.
@@PriyankaDas-fe6hm I don't think that heavier means better. Maiden are my favorites too, but I still like other ones and respect other people opinion.
You're confusing the words greatest and most popular.
Most influential actually. Metallica would be #1 if it was most popular
True
the biggest bands tend to be the best at their respective genres
The biggest bands are the most radio friendly bands, not particularly the best or most talented.
nah if it was most influential death would be like 3rd or 2nd cause they pretty much invented death metal and popularized it
2:49 dave lombardo turned into dave holland
Dank Bonk ripper 59 fucking awesome
Hahahahhhaahahahahhahaha
Sees Death and Tool: This does bring a smile to my face Sees they’re only 9 and 10: 😭
It ain't in order bud!
The order is casual this is not a top 10
I could easily replace Tool with Meshuggah on the list personally. Djent is everywhere these days, and whilst Tool might be far more popular, I think Meshuggah have been far more influential overall. Even in the prog metal scene, most of the more prominent bands are more influenced by the likes of Dream Theater and Meshuggah than Tool, at least when you listen to what they're playing. Death deserves a mention though for sure, very technical and essentially the first band of any note to play true death metal.
My list goes like this:
10- Dream Theater
9- Death
8- Megadeth
7- Sepultura
6- Slayer
5- Pantera
4- Judas Priest
3- Iron Maiden
2- Metallica
1- Black Sabbath

why are Megadeth and Motörhead so low on the list? Those guys kick more ass than bands like Slayer
it isnt meant to be in order. and its just whoever made this opinion
+runarboy1 yeah, it is...it lists them from 10 to 1...and Iron Maiden always beats everything (except for Sabbath in this case), so it's very biased
+Tony DeRosa That's because Iron Maiden is objectively (as objectively as music can get) the best metal band ever. They have the ability to make absolutely kick ass 5 minute songs, but also the most epic, melodic and simply beautiful 10+ minute songs out of any metal band.
Of course everyone has different opinions, but objectively maiden is probably the best.
+Jumanism (Motörhead is a close second though.)
+Jumanism I mean, iron Maiden is good, but they're not the best. I'd put them at #4 or #5 at best.
As long as number 1 is Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath I can’t complain about this video. They’re the two most influential bands in metal.

Judas Priest the best heavy metal band of all time..
Iron maiden
Black Sabbath
There is no arguing that Black Sabbath is the most influential/greatest metal band
Maiden!!!
Always so surprised that the oldest metal band - SCORPIONS - gets completely overlooked. Sure they made some balads, like every band out there, but essentially they've always been heavy metal, since '65.
Scorpions is considered hard rock by 98% of the people
thats because they are hard rock/rock
Just edgier because they are German, same as the Teutonic thrash bands are generally more dark and evil sounding, it's just heavier rock lol
That's because this was done by people, who had no idea what the f*** they were talking about.

#1 System of a down
#2 Tool
#3 Pantera
#4 Death
#5 Rage Against the Machine
Tool and Dream Theater is very hard to say metal but whatever they are metal in some way and also they are too good. But Linkin Park? WTF man. They are always been alt rock and their last album is pure pop garbage. The Hunting Party doesn't make them a metal band.
This list will always be debated simply because of all the sub genre's etc. If it's strictly heavy metal.....here is mine:
1. Judas Priest
2. Metallica
3. Black Sabbath
4. Megadeth
5. Pantera
6. Iron Maiden
7. Accept
8. Motorhead
9. Slayer
10. Anthrax
Again the majority of these lists are always a popularity contest with the exception being that Sabbath is quite often 1st because they created the genre. I always look at it as which band has done the most to broaden the acceptability of metal. Sabbath started it, Maiden may be the most popular and Metallica has definitely sold the most, but IMO Priest are the band that brought in the twin guitar attack, with the best voice in metal PERIOD and also took what Sabbath did and give it a kick in the ass with the up tempo songs. Plus they also created the look that metal is always associated with and were a band that was never afraid to take chances and not stick with the same formula with each album. Every album they created is different and they also were ballsy enough to use synth guitars on Turbo which is another thing that Priest started. Everyone has their favorites and if the list were to include all genre's my list would include the likes of AC/DC, Van Halen, Great White, Ozzy (solo), Dokken, Scorpions, etc. So many great bands in this form of music, and that's why it is the best form of music PERIOD.
@thebreeze12, is Slayer a heavy metal band?
Someone at Loudwire definitely has a tool fetish
Loudwire : Tool = Normal person : Porn

4. Black Sabbath
5. Iron Maiden

10 Motörhead
9 Judas Priest

7 lamb of god
6 dio

Just making sure Slayer, Judas Priest, Metallica, and Black Sabbath were on here. I'm glad they are.
IRON MAIDEN
what’s with iron maiden
I say Sepultura --> Motorhead. Motorhead is "rock and roll"! It's like rock metal and punk at the same time
Tool? Metallica higher than Judas? BAH!
AND WHERE IS DIO?
+Júlio Salotti Are you Blind ?
That's what they say. If that was the case, why are Metallica, Judas, Black Sabbath and Iron closer do number 1?
And it still doesn't explain the lack of Dio
I would put Metallica at #1 simply because they made their way to not only metal fans but a lot of people who don’t even listen to metal, they introduced a lot of people to heavy metal (me included) I heard nothing else matter and instantly liking it, they were going on tours and playing live nonstop, stadiums full of people.
My gf hate rock, metal and sometimes I caught her listen to Metallica lol
FCKING PANTERA! YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!
Iron Maiden all the way
Metallica,Iron Maiden,Black Sabbath,Rammstein,Children Of Bodom,In Flames,Death,Pantera,Slayer,Megadeth,Judas Priest,Dream Theater,Lamb of God,Mastodon,Sepultura,Slipknot,Koяn,SOAD
