The Perfect Metal Song?
 
Just curious what people thing is the "Perfect" Heavy Metal song. I know that there are a wide range of genres within the general genre of Heavy Metal, but what do you think epitomizes the genre?

My vote would be "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica. It is loud, angry, kicks your ass, but is also musically diverse and well written.

Metallica - "One"

Spungfoo 05-13-2003 05:54 PM

There is no such thing as a perfect song... let alone one from Metallica, eww... anyway, while I can't really pin single song down to define a genre, I can name bands that pretty much do...

Thrash - Slayer
New Wave of British Heavy Metal - Iron Maiden
Hair Metal (huh huh huh) - Poison
Nu-metal - Korn
Death - Death (woulda thunk it?)
Grindcore - Brutal Truth
Black - Emperor
Doom - Candlemass
Progressive - Dream Theater
Power - Stratovarious
Folk Metal - Finntroll
Industrial - Godflesh
Sludgecore - Eyehategod

Those are my picks for the major genres, but each of them branch out into many sub-genres which would be too much of a pain in the ass to list here.

GuttersnipeXL 05-13-2003 05:59 PM

Raining Blood by Slayer.....however, Spungfoo is on to something there....it's gotta be categorized...Dream Theatre doesn't tear shit up the same way that Slayer does, and Slayer doesn't tear shit up the same way Korn does...etc....it's all different, for the sake of answering your original question, I'll say Raining Blood.

Dustallica 05-13-2003 07:55 PM

Two of my personal favorites are Master of Puppets and 99 Ways to Die

vermin 05-13-2003 09:40 PM

Steeler by Judas Priest.

perripken 05-14-2003 05:03 AM

Metal Gods by Judas Priest- I bought their two CD compilation,(I don't have it here in front of me so I can't remember the name of it) the songs are all hand picked by the band as their favorites. There is a booklet inside that explains the background of each song. For Metal Gods, they were talking about how they got the metal crashing sound in the background. They actually used a plate with silverware on it and would just through the silverware up a few inches and let it drop back down on the plate.

monkeydriven 05-14-2003 09:07 AM

The Trooper - Iron Maiden

Snoogans 05-14-2003 11:17 AM

Slayer - Raining Blood
It is THE metal song.

brandon11983 05-14-2003 02:41 PM

Pantera - "Mouth For War." that song just pisses you off. makes you wanna go out and punch someone in the fucking jaw. (hence the album cover)

Sun Tzu 05-14-2003 09:54 PM

Were not gonna take it- Twisted Sister

There are only a few of those bands who would probably say that they haven't been influenced in some way by the mighty Four Horsemen. It is undeniable that they reshaped the industry to mass proportions, creating the revolution.

Atomic Pinkie 05-16-2003 03:47 AM

oh, and for the record, its a toss up between Welcome Home and Dyers Eve...i just can't decide!

Ktulu is a close second.

fienna 05-16-2003 07:55 AM

metallica - ...and justice for all - the album, and the song...

IMHO - that was and always will be the pinnacle of their artistry...

metallion 05-16-2003 02:57 PM

Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust '98 not exactly metal but uhh
Judas Priest - Running Wild. (spotting a pattern here ;) )
incidently the CD spoken of earlier picked by the band was Metal Works.

LuxoDave 05-16-2003 03:16 PM

I certainly wouldn't pick anything by Metallica.

To pick one song is not possible.

RyeZingSon 05-17-2003 12:15 PM

I believe it has to be Hallowed Be Thy Name from Iron Maiden. The song started as a metal ballad and finishes so powerful.

To me that is what heavy metal is all about.

archer2371 05-17-2003 03:04 PM

It's a tie between Master of Puppets and Blackened for me.

apetaster 05-17-2003 05:55 PM

As much as a cliche as it may be, I still really like One - Metallica. I have always been a big fan of the soft-loud-soft-louder types of music. I also really get a kick out of 'To Live is to Die' off the same album.

Ruling Metallica out and going for pure edge, I'd have to vote for Territory by Sepultura.

Thraeryn 05-17-2003 08:46 PM

I would say something by Obituary, as unpopular as that may be. "Cause of Death" or "Slowly We Rot" would be my song choices, or I'd combine the best of "Corrosive", "The End Complete", . . . . well, anyway.

Sun Tzu 05-18-2003 01:53 AM

I know my humor sucks; but I hope no one took me seriously.

Krakatu by Yngwie Malmsteen is one of my favorites.

NoCure 05-21-2003 10:29 AM

Anything by Soil

Eggy 05-21-2003 06:45 PM

"Master Of Puppets" by Metallica, the S&M version.

otefsu11 05-21-2003 07:59 PM

i'd actually take twisted over wanky old Yngwie any day. ;)

KWSN 05-21-2003 08:01 PM

There are too many to pick one for me, but it's among these:

Band - Style (Genre)
Slayer - South of Heaven (Thrash)
Slayer - Disciple (Evil thrash)
Iron Maiden - The Trooper (NWOBHM)
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills (NWOBHM)
Metallica - One (it's Metallica)
Metallica - Battery (see above)
Arch Enemy - Seed of Hate (Dark)
Black Sabbath - War Pigs (You don't need to categorize Sabbath)
Grave - Rise (Death)
Hatebreed - A Call For Blood (Hardcore... and I find Hardcore to be more along metal lines than punk so it goes here)
Dillinger Escape Plan - 43% Burnt (See Above)
Dillinger Escape Plan - Variations on a Cocktail Dress (See Above)
Tool - Aenima (Alterna-Metal)
Fudge Tunnel - Grey (Grungy Metal)
Pro-Pain - The Beast Is Back (Hard to put these guys into a category... kind of a general headbanging-metal guitar line to their songs, but with REALLY heavy vocals)
Pro-Pain - Down for the Cause (See Above)
Pro-Pain - Political Suicide (See Above)

Those are just a few...

yeah... i mean, he's a great guitarist, but some of his stuff is just too... over the top. when i'm in the mood for guitar wank, i usually listen to Rhys Chatham.

h2ogo69 05-23-2003 04:43 PM

i'd take buckethead over yngwie

WhoaitsZ 05-23-2003 06:09 PM

.... the perfect metal song?

no fucking clue

but some that I think are among the best:

Dyer's Eve by Metallica
Knife Party - Deftones . hard to classify. Deftones are the only group i've never been able to fit in a genre
Aenima - TOOL
Stnikfist - TOOL
Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth
Walk - Pantera




there's a lot of great metal songs. the genre is too wide and bands too many to pick one.

Metallica's And Justice For All, all of TOOLs work (to me metal doesn't have to be sheer thrash)
Megadeth - Dave's voice r u l e s
Shadows Falls - a killer new group
hatebreed... great new group too

Jackson33 05-23-2003 07:21 PM

'tallica
 
MetallicA IS by far the 4 horsemen of metal. Too many too list.

How bad ass was Limp Bizkits' Sanitarium Performance on MTV Icon!?

If you missed it - you can find it and download the song and/or the video on Kazaa.com

I'll have to give Rhys Chatham a listen.

Cujo 06-03-2003 06:49 PM

Metallica - Fade to Black & One
Anthrax - Madhouse
Megadeth - Angry Again, Peace Sells & In My Darkest Hour
Black Sabbath - War Pigs & Children of the Grave
Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes to Midnight & Running Free

Could listen to those ten for hours on end, oh wait I already do.

absorbentishe 06-04-2003 11:32 AM

Hey <B>Jackson33</B>, I like Limp and all, but the way the did Sanitarium was totally killer, Fred hit the notes, and the band rocked out...
