:mad: Whadya mean I don't pay my bills? Why do you think I'm broke?! :)

Megadeth one of my all time faves too, Rust in Peace definitly ranks in the top three metal albums of all time IMO. Also, Metallica has to feature in the top bands list, their new stuff is god awfull but everything pre Black album was amazing AJFA and MOP are on par with Megadeth's RIP. Plenty of others out there too but I would probably add Black Sabbath to my top three.

iron maiden megadeth and black sabbath is way more metal then a lot of those other bands, infact these few great bands like iron maiden megadeth and black sabbath (to some extent any way) do have to tune to drop C or use 7 string guitar tuned to A to sound heavy.

You're kidding right? Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Megadeth are some of the few real 'metal' bands that actually have good songs that will stand the test of time. Loads of heavy bands have heavy sounds and fast riffs but weak songs that will never be remembered. Metal is something that was created in the late 70's and exploded in the 80's, all the new stuff is just an extension of that, which unfortunately (for the most part) went downhill with the dumbing down of guitar playing popularised by the grunge movement. When I look at modern 'metal', for the most part I see on one hand the evolution of sound quality and recording methods with the devolution of musical quality and abilties on the other.

I think you have to have grown up in the 80's to know what real metal is all about!

I was born in late '89. I love Motley Crue, Sabbath, Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, Quiet Riot (RIP Dubrow), Metallica, etc. etc. etc.

How could you call Megadeth not metal? Wake up Dead and Peace Sells are metal ANTHEMS. If anything a very, very large majority of today's metal all sound the same. I tried Lamb of God once, I couldn't tell when one song started and when the last ended. It's one thing to have a sound unique to a band, it's a whole other deal when all of your songs are about the same thing *coughdragonforcecough*

Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden were the pioneers of the heavy metal genre. You can't top that.
