Using your "loose" definition of "metal band," I'm gonna have to say GN'R 🙂

Dio.

Machine Head is grossly overlooked as well.

If we are talking pure metal in the form of hard riffs, heavy crunches, and gut wrenching throat gravel....

Pantera...no contest

Ministry is too repetitive(I love 'Psalm 69' however)
Fear Factory is too dependent on electronica crap

 

[NorthRiver]

Pantera all the way!!

 

[Martin]

Therion.

I would vote Tool, but they are not metal, unless your definition of metal is looser than someone's bowel movements after an OD of laxative.

Fear Factory is too dependent on electronica crap

You ever seen them play in a small venue? I have. Best. Concert. EVER. It was a little hole in the wall theatre in Peoria, IL. General admission of about 1200 people. Those guys played their f'n hearts out. The "electronica crap" is totally lost in the pounding of the double bass drums and Burt's growls 😀

I have seen them many times in large and small venues. They do put on a good hard long show. I just don't exactly consider it metal...hybrid metal is a better term.

Anyone ever seen Manowar in concert?

Hehehehe. I think I walked out of there with a concussion and brain matter seeping from my ears.

😀

OTHER BANDS PLAY, MANOWAR KILLS!!!

Definatly Opeth,

Out of the thousands of bands I've heard, NONE keep me interested as long as opeth.

However, When it comes to seeing live bands, Broken Hope, In Flames (pre clayman), Exodus, and Novembers Doom (back when they had Mary on Bass) are just as great.

Where's the option for Celtic Frost?
