Revolver Magazine: 50 Heaviest Bands

You guys need to be realistic.
It's revolver magazine for fucks sake, they're not gonna stray too far from mainstream.
Waah, where's Deicide?
Well nobody gives a shit about Deicide, and that's Deicide's fault. We're lucky they even had bands like Saint Vitus and Swans on there.
Not only that, but they probably gave some definition of what they considered heavy, and they probably made it clear that it wasn't just screaming, distorted guitars, it's about much more than that, and time also plays a factor as well. And IMPACT as well. Also, many bands can be heavy, but not metal, in my opinion.
Some of you people get mad like you expect these lists to be good, and I'm amazed that you guys aren't more enlightened to the media.
But there are some genuine weirdosities on this list, I'll agree.
Led Zeppelin is not overly heavy. Not #3 heavy. #3 was just a respect thing, because everybody's gotta suck Zeppelin's dick. If they had to put Zep in the top 50 I think they should be no higher than 35.
Metallica high on the list and NO Megadeth, that's a littly ballsy.
But eh, other than that I see pretty much what I'd expect from a Revolver Magazine top 50. They gotta please as many readers as they can. And guess what, most of you guys aren't their audience.

i hear ya. everyone needs to look at bands for their time. the 'second' part i tell to people all the time. watch in like 20 years when we are in our late 30s/mid 40s (depending on who you talk with on the board) our children will be blasting some crazy grindcore/gore/black metal that has so much screaming and notes in a second that we can't really understand it. we'll show them some old man's child or bathory or emporer and they'll be like, "that sux! the band can't play 100 notes in a second"
i think people should have more respect for bands even if they don't like them.

Not at all. Im actually a huge sound garden fan, theyre just not the 2nd heaviest band there is, thats for sure. Try downloading a song from them called "big dumb sex" its both catchy and hilarious.

If you wanna check out some really good heavy stuff in the vein of Soundgarden, but a bit more metal, check out Non-Fiction's "In The Know". Truly one of the heaviest records ever made.
Another great heavy band record to check out - The Obsessed (the former St.Vitus, which was named on this "list"). The guitarist/vocalist is Wino, who is a true rock 'n roll monster.

Although most of this is horrible, Nirvana for example, some of you make no sense. It's not the most metal band it's the heaviest and Black Sabbath is heavier than god's nut sack.

Cryptopsy? Nile? Vital Remains? Acid Bath? Behemoth? Carcass? .... we could all list things heavier than The Dillenger Escape Plan.
hell, even Offspring could fit on THAT list *watches as flames ensue from that comment*

Yeah isn't there something really somber about that? I like all their cheesy early shit, even though it's "bad"...I know.

Not sure I'd call "Louder Than Love" cheesy. Some serious sludgy goodness going on in that album.

I love the sludge. And I love when it sounds like Chris' balls were going to explode when he screams in the beginning of one of those songs ::blanks::

Actually, I'm gonna go drop a Kenny Logins right now.
