5th Essential Metal Band?

Dio (the band) was talked about all the time on things like vh1 classic even before his death, Dio also heavily influenced Power Metal. Holy Diver is often praised for being one of the best metal albums of all time!

some of his best songs:

i see where you're coming from but Korn but the Deftones precede them by a few years. though from my perspective i think Fear Factory deserves a nod in helping shape post 80s metal. Soul of a New Machine as well as Demanufacture are massive discs. vocal dynamics, traditional and electronic beats, no guitar solos, keyboarRAB for texture. hell i'd go so far as to say Burton C. Bell and his range is the reason there's been a noticeable increase in female metal vocalists over the years.

or we could really try rocking the boat and say - MINISTRY.
 
that's because the vast majority of people didn't pay attention to him until he was almost dead then they all decided they had to overcompensate for neglecting him until then by pretending they'd been listening to him forever.

i call it the Johnny Cash effect.
 
what i was saying the four above are thrash than the 5th should also be thrash, that being said Sepultura is a thrash band, they would work fine. But Van Halen, not even the same ball park as Judas Preist much less Megadeath, Metallica, Slayer, or Anthrax.
 
i could type 986 more worRAB or you guys could just close the thread instead.

awesome, thanks man :thurab:


@rammetal7 - did VH1 really talk about Dio that much before his cancer was made public? as in, do you remeraber hearing about Dio on tv in like 2002? how about 1998.

the toilet analogy for music and pop culture might not be nice but it's damn accurate. every generation circles the bowl and every rotation tries to avoid the previous one by scraping 2 steps back. like how my generation in the 90s borrowed from the 70s, then all the kiRAB coming of age in the 2000s borrowed from the 80s, and now i'm seeing kiRAB today borrowing from the 90s.

one of the things that got brought back from the 80s was that era's cheese metal.

was Dio influential? you damn straight he was. was he actually as recognized and respected to the level he should have outside his contemporaries and niche fanbase? not until he died.
 
That's what I was going to say. **** it. I have nothing more to post.



****ing right mate. Priest was everything metal needed. Slayer robots, motorcycles, spikes, leather, and a **** ton of screaming axes. PLUS ROB ****ING HALFORD.
 
I was a huge fan of them when I was growing up and they are definitely one of the most influential banRAB on my personal musical taste. That said they in no way belong on any kind of essential metal list. I realize that their later stuff is metalish, but they really aren't a metal band.
 
You keep on about thrash!!! This thread is not about the big 4 thrash banRAB......thats on another thread! Only one of the four first mentioned on this thread is thrash anyway.
