    Man, I will never understand Mike's dislike for 80s Sabbath. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules fuck hard. (Title tracks, Die Young, Lonely is the word, children of the sea, sign of the southern cross.) Born Again is also awesome imo (yeah, yeah. PrOdUCtion BaD). Dio's solo stuff in the 80s is pretty great too. Holy Diver and Last in Line have some bangers (Egypt is almost like a maiden track). Dream Evil is also underrated. Also also, Judas Priest? Come on man lol. Though I agree their 80s output is hit or miss, but Defenders and Screaming are top fuckin' tier.

      If he is talking about actual big cats, leopards probably place 3rd out of 5 species. They are definitely above snow leopards and I would put them above lions one on one because of their strength. They can climb trees with a 200 lb animal in their mouth. If hes talking about all cat species and not just big cats, they are still number 3, but that's out of a few dozen species.

  • @uneedborda

      I like Motorhead, but get that they can be repetitive and aren't for everyone. I think the reason Lemmy is so loved is because of his personality that goes way beyond what is described here. Also something I hear a lot is someone explained as say your favorite guitarist, favorite guitarist. That's Lemmy, name your favorite rock star and chances are he is their favorite rock star. He was loved by nearly everyone in his community and seems like a down to earth, good guy.

      @@Principaledpragmatist sure, but this is a "band tier list", not one based on personality.
      Again, Motorhead has a successful crossover going all the way back from the mid-seventies after his previous bad Hawk Wind. So it's about the music and how influential it was on two opposed genres back in the 70s/80s, which was Heavy Metal vs Punk.
      And that is why Motorhead is so influential, the personality was more focused on later.

    Gotta disagree on Sabbath here. Yes, 1970-1975 were their golden years, and the last 2 albums with Ozzy left a lot to be desired. But Heaven and Hell was a helluva comeback, for both Sabbath and Dio. They were alive, their writing was great, they were firing on all cylinders. Born Again is trash, I´ll give you that, but then the Tony Martin stuff came in, and it´s underrated AF, some of the best stuff Sabbath has to offer there.
    I do get that Sabbath is not your thing though, but to this day I don´t think anybody can make a guitar sound as evil as Iommi can.

    You penalized GnR for having a rough back catalogue, but they only had 1 album in the 80s. Which had all their most famous songs and is still (I believe) the best-selling debut album of all time. Then you rated Testament and a couple other bands lower because they were better in the 90s/00s? Doesn't make sense. If we're judging bands only on their 80s output, GnR is easily A tier if not S tier

    While not being 'metal', I am curious to hear your thoughts on Blue Oyster Cult (or direct me to the appropriate video to watch). While I stupendously love the band, that love is for their LIVE performances; their studio albums tended to be stupidly overproduced, in my opinion. I found their studio tracks to be too smooth and glossy, with no edge for me to grab onto.

John Sykes in Whitesnake was a monster on guitar too, David Coverdale got jealous and that's partly why he fired him then later regretted it.

He had Jon Lord and Ian Paice, John Sykes, Vivian Campbell, Steve Vai, Doug Aldrich, Tommy Aldridge, Reb Beach... am I forgetting somebody... Ozzy propably has his wife Sharon to thank for getting also the best in business to work with his husband. I love the "blizzard" band, and when he had Jake E Lee, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge. I'm not a fan of Zakk Wylde though.

    Shocked at the high placement of '80's Ozzy. By the mid-80s Ozzy was a total mess again, and he was turned down by the late (and great) Gary Moore as the first choice replacement for the late Randy Rhoads. If you put Manowar into S-tier then '80s Sabbath needs to be moved up because some of them were '80s Sabbath roadies. Tony Martin-era Sabbath has also got remaster coming out soon, so worth another look. '80s Metallica should likely be moved down a notch because they changed their sound and became a big band in the '90s.
