Maybe theyre a band you have to see live to get, but on album they fall short.
I thought the same thing about Godflesh, but then I saw them live and was blown away.

Actually its the opposite. Broadrick himself will be the first to admit that Jesu just doesn't translate live, especially in the vocal department. Plus there's usually technical issues with the synth and extra guitar tracks being run though a lap top.

Totally. I've been stuck on that one all week, actually. And before this week it had been at least a couple of years since I've listened to it.

It gets rotation at least once every few months from me. Just the full length. Never heard the demos or split or anything.

lol, no shit. Only a few of their albums fall into the heavy metal category. And the ones that do, are about as metal as it got in the early 70's and basically birthed the genre with those albums ... along with the few other bands i mentioned the last time we had this convo. That's what heavy metal sounded like in the early 70's, you seem to be not taking that into consideration and think that they're were supposed to sound like priest, maiden or some shit.
If you can list any albums that were more metal than DPiR and MH from 70-72(outside of Sabbath) i'd love to hear em.
All that being said, Deep Purple are the greatest hard rock/heavy metal band of all time.

Sabbath was the founder of Metal, Deep Purple is just a blend of mostly rock/(questionably metal? what is metal about them really?). Proto metal you could call them.
Lucifer's Friend. Budgie. Bang. Sabbath is the founder of the genre so it makes sense that they were the only true metal band at the time though.

Dude, i already mentioned every band you just named the last time we had this conversation, so why are you bringing up the few bands that i already said can be compared to them in terms of heaviness? And that was what, like a week ago?

And outside of Sabbath and maybe Lucifers Friend, no other band was on the same level as them in terms of heavy metal.
They ARE one of the bands along with Black Sabbath that birthed the genre. Sabbath were not the sole "founders" of heavy metal bro. They actually used to be called hard rock back then too, but them(along with DP AND THE FEW BANDS I ALREADY MENTIONED) were the bands that basically "founded" the genre. Look up heavy metal and your going to see that just about every source on this planet is going to name them as ONE OF THE FIRST HEAVY METAL BANDS OF ALL TIME bro. I'm truly surprised that im having to explain this to you.
Also, I just don't know how someone can listen to DPiR and MH and question the metalness of those albums, and im talking about fro the opening fucking tracks ... just weird. I guess some of you people think metal started with priest and maiden or some bullshit of the sort.
And yes, they are the greatest hard rock/heavy metal band of all time ... without a fucking doubt.
CAUSE I'M A SPEEEEEEED KIIIING!!!!!! Goonight ya'll

Sick, never heard of them before ... but there's no fucking way that guitar tone is from the late 60's/early 70's. That shit is probably re-recorded.
