what is your favorite old school heavy metal band?

I agree that the Max Era Sepultura albums were all genious and completely under-rated for what they were. I was a little dissapointed though after Chaos A.D. I didn't care for roots too much. I thought Arise was their last true brilliant thrash album. So unfortunately that is only 3 records that were amazing, Schizo, BTR, and Arise. But i still love Chaos AD, it's just different. Morbid Visions is funny. But I do like Soulfly and think Max Cavalera is one of the best Metal icons in history.
Megadeth you serious? They had Rust In Peace which was amazing. Other than that their albums were spotty. When they were all together, with Marty Friedman, and Dave Ellefson they were a great band. Now the only remaining member is Dave Mustaine. And the records he has put out have been marginal at best. So while Megadeth has had some great material it's nearly impossible to say they are the best Metal band of all time.
Motorhead you could argue for. I personally don't care for them too much. I respect what they do/did for the cross over punk/ metal type scene. And yes they have been around for ever and still put out records. So while I don't think their music is technically even true 'metal' they can definitely be in consideration
Suicidal Tendencies. Ok Join the Army, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow.., Lights camera, Suicidal, and Art of Rebellion are great metal records. But before that and after that they went the punk/funk route and haven't put out any really good metal records since that time. I love their music and wish they would get back and do some great thrash albums again. they could still go out and tour big venues
Overkill...no comment lol
Stormwatch
Cock.
I still say Led Zeppelin started metal. Sabbath took it to another level. But there are many riffs that Zeppeln plays that Sabbath used versions of.

I never claimed Megadeth was the best metal band of all time (that label belongs to Black Sabbath). I said Megadeth can compete with Maiden (who I happen to like). Peace Sells is a great album, Countdown is a great album, Youthanasia is solid, System has Failed has its' moments, United Abominations is pretty good. Besides, Mustaine has always been the main songwriter. And, they put on a great show. I saw them a couple months back on the Heaven & Hell tour and they were awesome.
Motorhead always gives you what you want. You get exactly what you expect from them. And, their live shows are supposed to be pretty damn good.
ST is another awesome live band. Even though they're not doing "metal" anymore, they're still putting out awesome music, though not for the last couple years due to Muir's back.
And, what's wrong with Overkill? They've had some amazing albums over the years (Necroshine, W.F.O.) and have never gone soft like some other big name thrash bands that I won't name.
Don't get me wrong, I like Maiden, but they're not even the best NWoBHM band, let alone the best metal band of all time.
What ever that means. But I think most old school metal fans will pretty much all agree Iron Maiden is the best metal band and held the test of time longer than any other metal band. Just because Sabbath so called 'started' metal doesn't mean they are the best. There are a million bands that came out sounding like Sabbath, Iron Maiden has their own unique sound and have never sold out

Let her go, let her go, let her go!"
In the late 60's and Early 70's Alice Horrified Mothers all over the world.
Isn't that Metal.

I'd like to meet all these "old school metal fans". I guess a lot of us on this board don't qualify as "old school metal fans" because I've seen several disagree with you. Maiden's great, but I've definitely heard better.

The stupidest song, the worst maiden's album

I don't HATE it, but it was kind of a sell out song for them.
