so, what is the most universally liked metal band?

[DarkBliss]

The Chasm are not influential in the slightest. I don't see the point in having any relatively obscure bands on this poll. With that said, Bolt Thrower were quite a random pick.

Bolt Thrower aren't obscure, but yeah, weird choice.

I voted Slayer....never been to a single show where there weren't at least a handful of Slayer shirts there. Not to mention there's always some ass yelling "SLAYER!!!!" no matter what show it is.

I can't stand Maiden. There singer makes me wish I was deaf. And their guitar work doesn't make it up enough for me.

Seconded. Easily the most over-rated band in the metal kingdom.

Okay dammit, sorry I put it on there, people. I probably should have had Judas Priest instead. But I highly doubt Priest would have swept the polls.

Woot, Iron Maiden is in second.

Their all homos and jealous of one of the best DM bands.

English maimer.

 

[waif]

He's American. He should know better than to ruin the language.

 

[bless my sins]

Death is the best band on the list. They should win!

 

[zabu of nΩd]

If by "best" you mean "one of the worst", and by "should win" you mean "deserve their position on the list entirely".

i didnt read anything beyond the title of this thread .... but that point is not relevant to 'the most universially liked metal band'. influence (in this context) has nothing to do with what is liked.

as i alluded to in my first post - its all relative to the audience / population. here, where the chasm is not genuinely obscure, it could be considered as 'the most universially liked', and i think it probably is. whereas, asking the general public, it would almost definitely be slayer or black sabbath .... maybe maiden ....

There are more people on here who like Sabbath than there are who like The Chasm.
