Controversial opinions on metal

[divine_torture]

Melissa > Don't Break the Oath

controversial?

No. Not my order of preference, but they're both top tier.

 

[no country for old wainds]

not controversial but it should be!

 

[End of Glory]

Which HR/HM bands would you say are better?

The obvious ones:
Led Zepplin
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Mercyful Fate/King Diamond
Scorpions
...Might want to throw in Def Leppard too, not sure tho.

 

[End of Glory]

Nah
Don't Break the Oath > Melissa.
Or if we even put KD album there too then I would say
Don't Break the Oath > Abigail > Melissa

everything king diamond-related tends to be a fucking mess in general, and only DBTO has ideas and an overall sound great enough to get away with it for me. minority opinion though i know.

Zeppelin are not better, and i personally don't consider them to be metal at all. The rest of the bands you mentioned are pretty much traditional heavy metal bands, not the hard rock/hm bands of the 70's. How are Maiden and Mercyful Fate hard rock? The first JP album was HR, but can't even stand in the shadow of the great DP albums. Scorpions are also one of the greats, i'll give you that ... but i wouldn't say they're better than DP ... not even close imo. Anyway, i was actually asking for names of hr/hm bands from around the early 70's.

def leppard is garbage.

Lets complain about lyrics and materialism and then post some of the gayest 80's glam bands of all time. ... not geared towards you Luc.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Melissa is just so much rawer and heavier imo.

 

[waif]

Abigail has some of the best riffing on any album, ever.

I see, I wasn't completely into the subject. I thought you were wondering in general which Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands that were/are better than DP.

 

[End of Glory]

This.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Well some of the bands you listed aren't hard rock at all. Regardless though, you're wrong. Because none of those bands are better than DP, regardless of their genre.

Yes, they're better than Maiden, better than MF and wayyyyy better than priest. *Let me put on my internet armor and be prepared for the onslaught of attacks i'm about to be bombarded with.*

 

[End of Glory]

Well you said HR/HM so I thought you wanted examples from any of those genres but I guess you were talking about bands that are HR and on the edge of HM? Otherwise I do not see the problem. Also I find DP extremely boring studio and live (still respect their material and what it has done for other bands).

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I guess you were talking about bands that are HR and on the edge of HM?

No, i was talking about the first generation of heavy metal bands bro. But whatever, let's move on.

 

[no country for old wainds]

end of glory got confused for exactly the same reason i got confused. lol.

priest > scorpions > mf > maiden > purple > zep > king diamond > def leppard

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i have it ...

DP > Maiden > Scorpions > MF > Zepp = Priest

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Fatal Portrait has even better riffing imo, although Abigail is the superior album on the whole.

 

[End of Glory]

Maiden > Priest > MF > KD > Scorpions > Zep > Def Lep > Van Halen > DP > GNR > MC

 

[Krow]

i have it ...

DP > Maiden > Scorpions > MF > Zepp = Priest

You must be dyslexic because this would make perfect sense backwards.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh, my opinion doesn't make sense to you? Well, it's not my fault that you're fucked in the head.

Machine Head is pretty inconsistent. From Pictures of Home to Maybe I'm a Leo. A big downfall.
