Oldest band which is still good? And oldest band member who is still good?

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Empire and Operation Mindcrime the first were the only good albums in my mind.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I think Dio was the best frontman Black Sabbath ever had. Forget Ozzy, he wasn't that great.

Queenryche is still going strong with a new album that came out just this year (sequel to "Operation: Mindcrime").

I dunno the Ozzy area seems to be the essential Black Sabbath stuff, but Dio did kick major ass!

Basically the German Thrash bands of the 80's are still rockin hard and stayin true to what they started doing.

Except Metallica, you know...

 

[Valerie]

Geezer Butler.

I said German Thrash so It didn't mean Metallica in anyway.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Nevertheless, Metallica has turned off too many people to thrash.

 

[Imp!]

For an authentic metalhead you seem to spout an awful lot of nonsense...

And why is it the trend to jump on the "I hated Ozzy, Dio was so much cooler" bandwagon?

 

[JuanSolo]

Riot
and guitarrist Mark Reale

I'm testing you.

I'm not following the trend, I DO think that Dio is better than Ozzy. I don't hate Ozzy, his voice fit well with the early BS stuff, but Dio was an excellent vocalist.

Chris Squire, for oldest band member. Also Howe still does some nice things.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Jimmy Page, though he hasn't really done anything, is still alive and I assume that he is still quite a competent guitar player. David Gilmour hasn't lost any of his power, either.

 

[Life Sucks]

Venom, Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, Celtic Frost (arguable).

I agree on the Sodom and Destruction. I have mixed feelings about the new Celtic Frost, and Enemy of God is Kreator gone Gothenburg.

and Enemy of God is Kreator gone Gothenburg.

Still, you have to admit, it's a pretty good album.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Neurosis ftw. 20+ years of excellence.

Heh, for which reason I was going to put "(arguable)" next to Kreator as well, but forgot. I like it though.

But it made no sense as answer to my post, that was just utterly random and had no revelence to this this thread. (I'm being honest, and I actually usually enjoy your posting)

Nayh Blackmoore is better.
And still going on.

Sorry, I have my dumber moments. I didn't really think that original "Metallica is no longer good" post all the way through.

 

[Guthrum]

I thought the thread title said something about Obtest. Arg.

I don't care, I got a little too mad about it in the first place.
