Bahahahahaha😂 oh my god man!!! You gotta be a fucking comedian I’ve never read a comment that made me laugh so damned hard in my life. Took a half a second to think then I lost my shit. Good one!!!!!😂
And his Elf years, and many many Sabbath, Dio, or Rainbow songs. The Last In Line, Sign of The Southern Cross, or Falling of The Edge of World alone show quite a bit of depth. "Ozzy kind is better vocalist than Dio" is such an absolute midwit and/or contrarian take, lmao
@@Durango958 I don't even know how it's midwit, but it is fully contrarian. Ozzy generally has pretty weak vocal melodies. They're either pretty simple or follow closely to rhythm instruments. His vocal range is also more limited.
Especially in comparison to Ozzy! I love Ozzy to bits, but he's the _definition_ of a one-dimensional vocalist, especially during the early Sabbath years. He sang *everything* the same way. It was only when he went on to his solo career that he started experimenting.
As a huge Death fan, i can say with fucking confidence, that your words about Death fans are FUCKING TRUE! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY I WAS, WHEN YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE CHUCK IN THE VIDEO ABOUT GUITARISTS LEVELS? 👹👹👹
Imagine if Chuck Billy from Exodus and Chuck Schuldiner from Death and Chuck D from Public Enemy had started a band? With all their music videos featuring Chuck Norris. All hail the unstoppable Chuck’s, laying siege to the 80s.
Hot take: Deep Purple is underrated among the younger generations. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath seem to be quite popular with younger people, but the third band in the unholy trinity lags behind significantly in my opinion, undeservably so
as a massive Sabaton fan, I have to say that Sabaton is no way underrated. Yes, it's shit on a lot by elitists, but it's very popular, and sells out shows. They've had two stages at Wacken, like half a million at Woodstock. They're in no way underrated, just shit on elitists and not mainstream pop level popular, that's why people say it's underrated. Total bollocks.
Yeah, I feel like it depends on how you define underrated. Like is it "not enough people have heard of this band" or "people don't give this band enough credit for being good". I agree with your take on it though.
@@lewisgrant7622I beg to differ, they are all skilled musicians, however they have seen little improvement or change in style at all since Carolus Rex basically, but that isn't necessarily bad.
The thing about limp Bizkit is that they were part of my childhood and I will always remember them as part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. Lol all these bands hold a tiny little sliver of my heart... Some more than others
i personally don't like LB, but i think calling them "bad band" is a BIIIG overstatement. especially considering their influence. for a lot of non-rock listeners LB were their introduction to metal. it's a big achievent for the genre. calling them bad it's just a meme and poser take
I love Death because every song is a journey. That is, until you get past the solo, where it just repeats everything again. Their name may as well have been Dal Segno al Fine. They're one of my favorite bands but I usually skip to the next song once the solo's done since I don't listen for the lyrics.
The moral of Anthrax is: if an insanely good but broke metal band moves into the practice room next door, do loan them your bar fridge and toaster oven. It will pay back amazing dividends.
@@HeathenDance " Uncreative " Nice way to say that you have never really listened to anything by them past Caught In A Mosh or Madhouse. And " Boring " I can't argue with that because subjective. I think Testament is fucking boring and that's the one people always want to be the 4th one instead of Anthrax, which is by far the most fun and easy going of the Big 4 (in my opinion). The performative " tough guy " attitude of the other 3 got old faster than milk outside of the fridge.
@@rocktypelizard Obviously, personal tastes are always subjective, like you said. I agree. But you're making wrong assumptions, when it comes to my experience with Anthrax. I listened to their first album from head to toe, for example. "Tough guy" attitude? You mean, those of Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer? When it comes to Metallica, that doesn't make sense. In their video interviews and live performances from the Thrash Era, they always appear to be very friendly. Smiling, approachable, sense of humour. James did change during the 90's, but that is, ironically, post-thrash Metallica. As for Megadeth, only Mustaine was like that. And both Metallica and Megadeth had songs like Fade to Black and In Your Darkest Hour. The lyrics for both are actually quite vulnerable and even melodramatic. I can agree regarding Slayer. But overall, you're quite wrong, in your generalization.
If you wanna hear the best of anthrax, listen to skeletonin the closet, discharge, madhouse, air, and other stuff from ATL. Its not for everyone, but in my opinion they worked their way into the big 4 like everybody else. If they didnt belong there, they wouldnt be there.
ehhh I definitely wouldn't go that far. If it was actually that good, they would have been more popular during that era. It was generally mediocre and didn't do much to stand out, which was one of the reasons they ended up changing styles
Cryptic Writings has several good songs, beyond the "commercially successful" ones. Use the Man, The Disintegrators, Sin, Vortex, FFF, the aforementioned She-Wolf... all amazing.
I think Trust has a whole different vibe than Enter Sandman so I don't think it's a rip-off. FFF on the other hand is just Motorbreath but not as good.
I discovered Megadeth with Cryptic Writings and Risk .... just to learn years after that they are considered bad albums hahaha. Screw that ! I still like them. And they are more enjoyable to listen to than early badly-produced thrash metal :P
@@bellybutthole69 Well, Risk is just plain bad, IMO. Bad songs, bad mix... it's not even metal to me. But you do you! Taste is personal, and if you like those songs, more power to ya.
I can see how one prefers Ozzy's voice to Dio, but in no way he has more dynamics. Ozzy had his high-pitched twang, a very characteristic nosey/twangy voice which is instantly recognizeable, but he basically uses the same tone of voice for most of the songs, be it ballads or heavy rockers. He had a nice tone, period. Dio had many different aspects to his voice, apart from his signature hyper compressed sound (Rainbow in the Dark) , he could be soft both on highs and lows (intro to We're Stars), could be devilish (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell live version), do high-pitched screams... listen to one line of any Dio song, break it down and you will hear how he sings each word, each syllable sometimes, differently to get the message across. And he did it without ever straining, unlike Ozzy.
I think Death has been getting more and more popular because a lot of people are realizing they are basically the Metallica of death metal. It's the "gateway" for extreme metal. Much more accessible vocals and less scary image. Plus the name literally being the genre...
imo extreme metal just sucks, I've been in 2 goregrind bands and at a grindcore one, i was on bass and vocals, it's fucking horrible, bad vocals that can barely be understood,extremely repetitive drums and little to no audible instruments, its bad just like shoegaze
@@siclunatic I mean there are good ones and bad ones like any genre. The vocals take getting used to though. Some singers are better at being intelligable than others. David Vincent of Morbid Angel is one of my favorites. I mostly like 90s death metal personally. But there are also bands like Opeth that have gutteral vocals and also a lot of cleans and make beautiful compositions honesty.
@@siclunatic Well, to be fair goregrind and grindcore are among the most unaccessible subgenres of extreme metal, at least from a vocals and general sound point of view: if you want to give the genre a second try, I suggest to check out records such as Morbid Angel's "Blessed Are the Sick" (one of their best and vocally the most variegated), Bolt Thrower's "...For Victory" (harmonies for days), Carcass' "Necroticism..." (a huge riff salad but the riffs are just so good) and Entombed's "Left Hand Path" (iconic guitar tone and great songwriting)
@@andrearenaudo9045 ya its all about just finding the bands that make it click with you. For a long time I thought I would never get into guttural vocals until I started listening to Opeth. It did take a little bit, but once I started to really sink into it, it just started to make sense for me, and now DM is honestly most of what I listen to these days. Though there is still plenty of extreme metal that just doesn't do it for me tbh.
Talking bout vocals it is crazy how nobody wants to give any credit to Mike Patton and Phil Anselmo. They are a lot better and technically andvanced than MAJORITY of people. And i get that Faith no More might not be everyones fav but still, the skill is very noticible
Mike Patton is a real Master in a very wide range of Vocal techniques. Love to hear him especially with Mr. Bungle. Daniel Gildenlöw ( Pain of Salvation ) is my Favorit, regarding his skills and the pure beauty of his voice.
Anselmo vocal performance on The Great Sounthern trendkill is above 95% of metal bands, brutal, raw, deranged, everything some death metal bands try to do but fail
Kinda funny you like Chuck's vocals in Painkiller. People usually say they suck but the cover is good. I tend to agree with your assessment. There is something wicked about doing Death Metal screams and still get to hear the notes and the vibratto. Even though Chuck hated his singing, he really slays this song imo.
Tbf I end up listening to it more than youthanasia, not saying it's better but I really think it's a good album. Trust and she-wolf carry it a lot but honestly stuff like use the man mastermind or sin are really cool
About Anthrax: Many boyos forgett the Big 4 of Thrash is not a thing that evolves over time and periodically changues accordingly to wich bands are on the top of the subgenre at the time. As a matter of fact "Thrash" was barely a thing when this guys made it big. Is But meerly the name given to the bands that brought thrash Metal to the masses in the early 80's, been 86 the year in wich the nickname was widespread and Anthrax was there. So, actually goes back to 1983 when a broke band tripped from SF to NY to record their first studio album, patroned by Jon Zazula the band where covered in the studio spenses, but otherwise had no money and barely a place to stay. Said band, on top of that, fired their lead guitar player and had a mew one flying to the city to replace it. There, the Anthrax lads had compasion of the boys, offered them food and beer for as long as they had to stay in NY, wich end up been about 15 days, when they finished their album. Now, for those who live under a rock and have not guessed wich band it was, (drum rolls) it was METALLICA (for surprise of nobody) and yes that album was Kill'em all. Metallica, forever grateful with the Anthrax lads promosed them to take the on tour with them... Amd so they did, Anthrax tripped as Metallica's openning act for KEA (Part of Kill em all for one tour too, with Raven) and that gave Anthrax and the NY thrash scene a rather big boost wich lead to Anthrax signing up with megafore and eventually releasing Metal thrashing mad and Spreading the desiase to the masses, wich where about as good as Thrash was (not counting Metallica), furthermore, Anthrax Pionnered thrash to the masses in MTV releasing the video for "madhouse" in 1986, before even Megadeth's PSBWIB videos and therefore Anthrax made a pretty big name for themselves. And that was not all. Metallica came back into scene that 86' and took Anthrax on tour with them in the american leg they did with OZZY, so Anthrax only kept growing. As a matter of fact, when Among the living was released in 87', Anthrax was solidly place in the big four. So, no, people can cry as much as they want, but Anthrax will never leave that group cause a) can't be moved; b) they earned it; c) As Brad said, you really think there is a bigger thrash band than Anthrax?
If there is a 4th then imo Sepultura deserves to be in that spot. I consider Anthrax to be more traditional heavy metal than thrash metal. Still a great band that id group with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest instead.
Can't forget about how big of a deal Bring Tha Noise was (and its' enduring legacy thanks to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater), plus they guest starred on Married with Children!
Hmm, Defenders of the Faith is my favourite JP album and I've honestly never listened to Turbo...but for the first time in 8 months I have a full afternoon tomorrow with 0 meetings, so time to warm up the KRKs!
@@ApothecaryTerry Yea Defenders of the Faith is my favorite too but really like the style of these several songs on Turbo. The other one is heart of a lion actually unreleased song but was meant to be on the Turbo but it is way better than the most of the songs on turbo.
Have to agree. When I first listened to one of the songs from it (think it was Turbo Lover), I pretty much liked it, but not as much as their more classical stuff, but when I listened to it several years later and heard Locked In and Out In The Cold, they practically instantly got into my list of favourite songs. And though I get some of the criticism and backlash aimed at this album, it certainly doesn't deserve pure hate, like that coming from some "fans of real Judas Priest and real heavy metal"
@@paperbackfilms3211ye because avengeds music is fucking incredible and so much talent and effort goes into their music and they always do what they want and the world needs bands like that and death are mid not bad but they do what they do that’s it they couldn’t right a song like the stage or save me
Defenders of the faith is the best music album ever put out but 70s is when judas priest was truly at its best form since they released a classic album each year.
@@kjone5086Yeah, I kinda think every era of priest has its place. A band that evolves musically, making mistakes along the way is imo so much better than one that hardly changes their decades old winning formula (like iron maiden).
Sad wings is an absolute masterpiece. One of my favorite albums ever, metal or not. Killing Machine and Stained Class are also top tier, Sin after Sin is slightly weaker but still good.
I liked it. When I first bought it my sister took it and lent it to one of her friends for two weeks without telling me. I was going crazy trying to find it because I had only listened to it once then the next day it was gone. Well I guess that person liked it since it took so long to get back. And they cracked the case. XP
@@stantorren4400 Personaly I try to stay away from the politics of metal. I don’t know anything about other death fans other than it pisses people off when I say Individual thought patterns and symbolic are my favorite death albums. It reminds me of a symphony. It never sits still. Just when you think you’ve got it, it changes. If you don’t like them I don’t care. Death metal is a big gene.
Alright, here are some of my takes. Limp Bizkit: They aren't one of my favourite bands, but I like some of their songs, some because they just have a nostalgic effect on me and others because I actually think are good (like "Down Another Day" or "Build a Bridge"). Judas Priest: I'm not really into their 70s stuff and I certainly enjoy their 80s songs a lot more, but I don't think early Priest were bad at all. It's a different time, therefore a different sound. Pantera: My favourite Pantera album is "Power Metal," basically the bridge between Glamtera and their 90s sound (although generally seen as part of the Glamtera era). There are lots of good songs there, including "Hard Ride," "Proud to Be Loud" and "Down Below" (I also like Terry Glaze's original 1985 version). They also have some good songs in their earlier albums with Terry Glaze, but I reckon they weren't as good as the main glam bands of the time. But overall I like Glamtera. I also enjoy their 90s sound.
CHUCK! 🤟🏻 I'm 41, been listening to metal and numetal since 1996 and I ignored Death for pretty much all my life. Then last summer I decided to listen to the album "Symbolic" and now I'm obsessed with them!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thank you for still doing amazing edit even though you switched to mostly live content on this channel. Most people just switch to live clips and post them how they are.
cant have that diss on great southern trendkill. i think its better than all the glam, and far beyond driven, definitely better than reinventing the steel, and debatably better than vulgar. definitely my personal favourite though
@@Durkhead ive tried listening to it a couple times, and i definitely love a few songs on there (5 minutes, hard lines sunken cheeks, planet caravan), but the album as a whole just doesn't hit the same as some of their others. mad respect tho
As much as I enjoy getting GLAZED, I much prefer Pantera's later sound. Much more distinctive in my opinion. Also that was when Dimebag truly showed off what he could do.
I think the first 3 glamtera albums are decent, but the power metal is very good. Dime was looking for a lot more shred at that time, and the truth is, although it is not the pantera that we know (since they did not have such marked styles at that time compared to post cfh) I don't know why pantera wanted to erase it from its history. Greetings from Chile Brad!
With Pantera's Glam stuff, I'd actually reccomend their "I am the night" album with Terry Glaze on it. That album is just incredible. Songs like Valhalla, Hot and Heavy, Forever Tonight, it's great.
I hate that you pointed out Trust is a Sandman ripoff because I never heard it until now and now I probably will never not be able to not hear sandman when I hear Trust . I actually think She-Wolf is a fantastic song not necessarily a great Megadeth songs but as far as songwriting goes it’s one of the best most catchy choruses I’ve ever heard. Dave could write pop jingles for commercials and I mean that as a complement his songwriting grew more than his contemporaries in my opinion the same guy who wrote Mechanix wrote She Wolf , Mechanix is a cool song but I think Dave’s lyrics are kinda cringe on it , but it’s a fun song especially if you’re into Megadeth but She Wolf has always really impressed me with how familiar it sounded the first time I heard it and the ear worm chorus. So I guess my Hot Take is She Wolf is a better song than Mechanix lol.
@@astyanaxia i totally respect your opinion, with my precedent comment i was just trynna express mine! I wrote "by that" just to not repeat the album name, tbh i also appreciate Ride the Lightning, just not as much, because (in my opinion) Rust in peace has far more iconic songs, or atleast songs i appreciate more, and i think it's one of Megadeth's best works, while RTL isn't really my favourite Metallica album! Totally not meant to say it's bad tough, i know it's one of the most iconic metal albums ever
Saw Limp Bizkit open for Metallica at Summer Sanitarium 2003 Montreal, out door. Have to say, they did a love version of Welcome Home and it blew our hair back.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I notice there is never a mention of Overkill. This is a band that is massively underrated and does not get any attention on your channel.
From an objective point of view, it was better for everyone involved in the Metal scene when people bought more music, and spread less opinions lol. The fact that we are, forever, stuck in discussing the same old school bands from the 20th century is an indicator of this sad reality. It's genuinely creepy and sad.
Dio is a way better singer... but as I said before, 99% of the best Black Sabbath songs are recorded with Ozzy... Black Sabbath without Ozzy is not Black Sabbath... it's like another band, kinda simmilar...
@@IsaacTuduriLlabresDio just has a tendency to make all his songs sound a certain way, so the other (very talented) musicians in his bands don’t really show through. The only notable exception is Rainbow where dio didn’t have that kind of authority yet, so him and Ritchie were a fucking jet engine.
I look at death as a completely diffrent animal in the metal scene, he created his own sound and every album theres something for everyone, personally leprosy, spiritual healing and scream bloody gore
No he didn’t. The band’s sound changed because of Cynic exposing him to what prog means. Atheist were releasing tech death before death, and cynic had members in the human linemapb
1988 - Pantera, "We'll Meet Again", "Power Metal" album. I don't believe early Pantera is correctly classified as Glam Metal. I believe that they were actually an early power metal band. Listen to this album specifically and still try to tell me they feel more like Poison or Winger, than Virgin Steele or Manowar.
Death is by far my favorite Death metal band of all time. There work is something I have never heard before. But its not for everyone. Personally I prefer Metallica over them, but Metallica and Death are my 1 and 2 favorite bands of all time.
Great video. Re: the big four. I was always under the impression that Anthrax were more commercially successful than Slayer during the eighties. Perhaps I am wrong about this, so please correct me if I am wrong
A Little Piece of Heaven is a masterpiece of a song because it’s not just a song, but it’s more of a story and it also shows how incredible Avenged Sevenfolds songwriting is!
I was listening to Death in 1990 when you were probably a young boy / kid, and it was already considered to be a well-established, "big" band even in the backwaterish, small post-commie country I grew up in. So while I agree they are probably not the best technically/songwriting-wise, I'd say the "hype" is not new, maybe it's a re-hype. (I like them, especially the older albums, before the lynch mob starts to search for me...)
Yes... but his voice has aged and damaged since the 90's... His vocal habilities have been reduced and deteriored... But in his prime, he would crash many Metal vocalists without batting an eye...
Depends on what type of death metal. The more typical type of death metal has more influence from the likes of morbid angel, cannibal corpse, suffocation or incantation. If we’re talking tech death, then there’s greater death influence, but also other bands like necrophagist
Ya they were definitely one of if not arguably THE biggest thing in death metal at the time tbh. I think the some of the confusion about Death and their importance really just comes down to the vocals. People typically think of gutturals when you say death metal, where as Chuck was more of a screamer. So for a lot of people they occupy this weird space between death and thrash and people aren’t sure what to label them as. Admittedly I was confused about this as well for a long time before I really started getting into them. I thought they were just a heavy metal band that happened to be called Death, as I imagine many probably did. It wasn’t until later on that I began to realize that those guys were, in many ways kind of the OGs of death metal, which started as just an extreme form of thrash basically, and I began to appreciate them more and more
Something I learned quickly researching the Big 4 issue: reliable album sales data is really hard to come by for an apples-to-apples comparison. I keep seeing Anthrax has sold 10 million - not bad I guess but lower than I expected - but that's from 1991 to 2004 for some reason? For a band whose biggest sales might have been in the 80s? Then Megadeth has sold 12 or 50 million, Slayer is 20 million or 32 million, Iron Maiden is - wait, 7 million? That can't be right. So yeah, does anyone know where to find actual reliable numbers, where we can compare their entire sales history, and US or worldwide? I'd have loved to be able to answer "Anthrax is in the big 4 because they've sold in the same ballpark as Slayer or Megadeth and twice as much as Exodus or Testament" but that data is sketchy. I'm looking at their discographies and peak chart positions, and through the 80s Anthrax and Megadeth albums peaked at similar positions, Metallica was slightly higher until And Justice For All got all the way to #6, and Slayer had lower peaks than any of them at the time.
Those numbers are nowhere near realistic. Take Megadeth for example, they've only had 3 albums legitimately go platinum / sell more than a million copies, with Countdown selling a little over 2 million. That's 4 million sales for their 3 biggest albums by far. And with most of their catalogue not even cracking gold, there's no way they've sold more than 10 million albums combined. As for Slayer, they've never come anywhere near a platinum album, but they spent twenty years squeaking gold, so they're probably somewhere between 6-8 million tops. Anthrax had 1 platinum album and a couple of golds too, but they're probably a little over 5 million overall at best, but at least still in the millions. And as for Iron Maiden, they've had numerous platinum albums and many golds, they've sold more than Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax combined. Not as many as Metallica though, not even close! Metallica dwarfs them all significantly!🤘
You better watch out bro. I am now searching for youm and eventually, I will find you. When i do find you you'll regret everything you said about Chuck. Say that he's beautiful and take those horrible takes back.
On Megadeth lead guitarists- I put Glen Drover above Chris Broderick. If you haven't, listen to his solo record "Metalusion", the playing on it is so fucking good, it's kind of a "metal fusion" kinda deal. Very cool imo - very underrated guitarist.
My dad saw Pantera live during the Glamtera days. His words on the experience were as follows "I hated glam metal at the time, still kinda do, but Dime was something to behold"
lol 🤣 I saw a thumbnail of vitas the 7th element in your background pmsl, I had to pause your vid and search for it cause seen it in a funny meme takiin the piss about tesla cars. sorry lol also had a listen to darkthrone, your right the punk sound is good, I liked it a lot. I quite like underground punk, been to a few gigs in liverpool and in Ireland, Fun times..
Dio is a better singer?... Yes. But 99% of the best Black Sabbath songs were recorded with Ozzy... Don't get me wrong, Dio is amazing... But Black Sabbath without Ozzy is not Black Sabbath...
Tongue of Fire by Emperor has one of the coolest guitar sections of any song I've heard. Definitely check it out if you haven't. It's a bit half after the halfway mark.

ride the lightning is metallica top tier. I almost had a stroke when he said its ok. this was unexpected
'Dio was one dimensional'
Catch The Rainbow and Rainbow Eyes says otherwise
And his Elf years, and many many Sabbath, Dio, or Rainbow songs. The Last In Line, Sign of The Southern Cross, or Falling of The Edge of World alone show quite a bit of depth. "Ozzy kind is better vocalist than Dio" is such an absolute midwit and/or contrarian take, lmao
Also, even though ozzy is one of the most iconic metal singers he really isn't a better singer than dio
@@Durango958 I don't even know how it's midwit, but it is fully contrarian. Ozzy generally has pretty weak vocal melodies. They're either pretty simple or follow closely to rhythm instruments. His vocal range is also more limited.
Dio one-dimensional??? Listening to Don't Talk to Strangers alone proves you wrong.
I know right? That was the worst take from this video. He definitely hasn’t listened to much dio if that’s what he thinks.
Especially in comparison to Ozzy! I love Ozzy to bits, but he's the _definition_ of a one-dimensional vocalist, especially during the early Sabbath years. He sang *everything* the same way. It was only when he went on to his solo career that he started experimenting.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being one dimensional.
It just means the music has a defined personality
Or Rainbow Eyes for soft singing voice.

Hot take: Deep Purple is underrated among the younger generations. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath seem to be quite popular with younger people, but the third band in the unholy trinity lags behind significantly in my opinion, undeservably so
as a 17 year old who only listens to rock and metal from the late 60's to late 90's i love deep purple. they got some great songs.

as a massive Sabaton fan, I have to say that Sabaton is no way underrated. Yes, it's shit on a lot by elitists, but it's very popular, and sells out shows. They've had two stages at Wacken, like half a million at Woodstock. They're in no way underrated, just shit on elitists and not mainstream pop level popular, that's why people say it's underrated. Total bollocks.
Yeah, I feel like it depends on how you define underrated. Like is it "not enough people have heard of this band" or "people don't give this band enough credit for being good". I agree with your take on it though.
My take on Sabaton is they’re obviously great storytellers but not great as musicians
Elitists hate Sabaton? If so, that adds to the reason why people are leaving that stupid culture
@@lewisgrant7622I beg to differ, they are all skilled musicians, however they have seen little improvement or change in style at all since Carolus Rex basically, but that isn't necessarily bad.
Sabaton is the epitome of gay
Ozzy struggling to sing the highs of “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” on the record is painful, yet it’s a very human performance and that makes it memorable
Max!!!! It’s ya boy Dallas
I was thinking of that as an example of why Ozzy is one of the best
You gotta get your ears checked, the vocals on that song rule. Ozzy is great, nothing painful at all.
They never sounded painful to me. But with lyrics like ‘no more tomorrow. Life is killing you’. It fits.
The thing about limp Bizkit is that they were part of my childhood and I will always remember them as part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. Lol all these bands hold a tiny little sliver of my heart... Some more than others
i personally don't like LB, but i think calling them "bad band" is a BIIIG overstatement. especially considering their influence. for a lot of non-rock listeners LB were their introduction to metal. it's a big achievent for the genre.
calling them bad it's just a meme and poser take
Lars isn't terrible, just maddeningly inconsistent.
If he practiced consistently he would still be pretty good
he just like me fr
True
What do you mean by inconsistent ?
@@JDC-dsl Sometimes he absolutely nails it, other times he sounds like he hasn't played for 40 years and doesn't know where he is.
Death has some of the best riffs you will ever hear along with some of the worst song structures you will ever hear. It's part of the Death charm!
What's an example of a bad song structure in a Death song?
I love Death because every song is a journey. That is, until you get past the solo, where it just repeats everything again. Their name may as well have been Dal Segno al Fine. They're one of my favorite bands but I usually skip to the next song once the solo's done since I don't listen for the lyrics.
"Worst song structures" 🤦
I see it as a unorthodox song structure but one that only death can execute perfectly
@@raihidara Isnt that the same with most bands out there?
Dance of death album cover without all these things around eddy would look a bit like children of bodom's something wild rip off, what do you think?
Bro that Pantera one was the obvious joke of that video. I was waiting
Dio didn't HAVE to do anything else.
Dio is overrated the first few albums are good but meh after
He went from crooner to classic rock and heavy metal.....

The moral of Anthrax is: if an insanely good but broke metal band moves into the practice room next door, do loan them your bar fridge and toaster oven. It will pay back amazing dividends.
Definitely. I'm a big fan of several 80's Thrash Metal bands. Anthrax is definitely not one of them. Very boring and uncreative.
@@HeathenDance " Uncreative " Nice way to say that you have never really listened to anything by them past Caught In A Mosh or Madhouse. And " Boring " I can't argue with that because subjective. I think Testament is fucking boring and that's the one people always want to be the 4th one instead of Anthrax, which is by far the most fun and easy going of the Big 4 (in my opinion). The performative " tough guy " attitude of the other 3 got old faster than milk outside of the fridge.
@@rocktypelizard Obviously, personal tastes are always subjective, like you said. I agree. But you're making wrong assumptions, when it comes to my experience with Anthrax. I listened to their first album from head to toe, for example. "Tough guy" attitude? You mean, those of Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer? When it comes to Metallica, that doesn't make sense. In their video interviews and live performances from the Thrash Era, they always appear to be very friendly. Smiling, approachable, sense of humour. James did change during the 90's, but that is, ironically, post-thrash Metallica. As for Megadeth, only Mustaine was like that. And both Metallica and Megadeth had songs like Fade to Black and In Your Darkest Hour. The lyrics for both are actually quite vulnerable and even melodramatic. I can agree regarding Slayer. But overall, you're quite wrong, in your generalization.
If you wanna hear the best of anthrax, listen to skeletonin the closet, discharge, madhouse, air, and other stuff from ATL. Its not for everyone, but in my opinion they worked their way into the big 4 like everybody else. If they didnt belong there, they wouldnt be there.
Pantera's glam work is some of the best glam work ever put out
90's Pantera = Hell Yeeeaaah!!! 🔥
2020's Pantera = "Halftera"
80's Pantera = 🌈 🍑 🍆🍒
ehhh I definitely wouldn't go that far. If it was actually that good, they would have been more popular during that era. It was generally mediocre and didn't do much to stand out, which was one of the reasons they ended up changing styles
HARD RIIIIIIIDEEEEE
It's aaaaal oveeeeer TONIGHT
I love glam but those albums are one of the worst I've heard. No wonder they weren't more popular.
Cryptic Writings has several good songs, beyond the "commercially successful" ones. Use the Man, The Disintegrators, Sin, Vortex, FFF, the aforementioned She-Wolf... all amazing.
I think Trust has a whole different vibe than Enter Sandman so I don't think it's a rip-off. FFF on the other hand is just Motorbreath but not as good.
I discovered Megadeth with Cryptic Writings and Risk .... just to learn years after that they are considered bad albums hahaha. Screw that ! I still like them. And they are more enjoyable to listen to than early badly-produced thrash metal :P
@@bellybutthole69 Well, Risk is just plain bad, IMO. Bad songs, bad mix... it's not even metal to me. But you do you! Taste is personal, and if you like those songs, more power to ya.
Agreed, it's better than Youthanasia.
Cryptic Writings is literally my favorite Megadeth album lol
I can see how one prefers Ozzy's voice to Dio, but in no way he has more dynamics. Ozzy had his high-pitched twang, a very characteristic nosey/twangy voice which is instantly recognizeable, but he basically uses the same tone of voice for most of the songs, be it ballads or heavy rockers. He had a nice tone, period. Dio had many different aspects to his voice, apart from his signature hyper compressed sound (Rainbow in the Dark) , he could be soft both on highs and lows (intro to We're Stars), could be devilish (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell live version), do high-pitched screams... listen to one line of any Dio song, break it down and you will hear how he sings each word, each syllable sometimes, differently to get the message across. And he did it without ever straining, unlike Ozzy.
I love both guys. One of the things i loved about Dio was that he didnt always sing in unison with the riff (like on Neon Knights).
Temple of the king is so dynamic and one of dio best vocals 🤘
I think Death has been getting more and more popular because a lot of people are realizing they are basically the Metallica of death metal. It's the "gateway" for extreme metal. Much more accessible vocals and less scary image. Plus the name literally being the genre...
imo extreme metal just sucks, I've been in 2 goregrind bands and at a grindcore one, i was on bass and vocals, it's fucking horrible, bad vocals that can barely be understood,extremely repetitive drums and little to no audible instruments, its bad just like shoegaze
@@siclunatic I mean there are good ones and bad ones like any genre. The vocals take getting used to though. Some singers are better at being intelligable than others. David Vincent of Morbid Angel is one of my favorites. I mostly like 90s death metal personally. But there are also bands like Opeth that have gutteral vocals and also a lot of cleans and make beautiful compositions honesty.
@@siclunatic Well, to be fair goregrind and grindcore are among the most unaccessible subgenres of extreme metal, at least from a vocals and general sound point of view: if you want to give the genre a second try, I suggest to check out records such as Morbid Angel's "Blessed Are the Sick" (one of their best and vocally the most variegated), Bolt Thrower's "...For Victory" (harmonies for days), Carcass' "Necroticism..." (a huge riff salad but the riffs are just so good) and Entombed's "Left Hand Path" (iconic guitar tone and great songwriting)
@@andrearenaudo9045 I'll give them a second try then
@@andrearenaudo9045 ya its all about just finding the bands that make it click with you. For a long time I thought I would never get into guttural vocals until I started listening to Opeth. It did take a little bit, but once I started to really sink into it, it just started to make sense for me, and now DM is honestly most of what I listen to these days. Though there is still plenty of extreme metal that just doesn't do it for me tbh.
If anything about Dio could have been called lacking in variety, it'd be his lyrics, and that was mostly a problem for him in the 80s.
Talking bout vocals it is crazy how nobody wants to give any credit to Mike Patton and Phil Anselmo. They are a lot better and technically andvanced than MAJORITY of people. And i get that Faith no More might not be everyones fav but still, the skill is very noticible
Mike Patton is a real Master in a very wide range of Vocal techniques.
Love to hear him especially with Mr. Bungle.
Daniel Gildenlöw ( Pain of Salvation ) is my Favorit, regarding his skills and the pure beauty of his voice.
90% of singers are more technically advanced than a majority of people
Anselmo vocal performance on The Great Sounthern trendkill is above 95% of metal bands, brutal, raw, deranged, everything some death metal bands try to do but fail
you forgot to say that Pantera is underrated, Mayhem is an underground band and SOAD is metal
@@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541 nope
Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny goes so hard. Ripper is such a good early metal song
Sad Wings of Destiny is the only Judas Priest album I like honestly. i never really got into their other stuff
One of my favorite albums, and it's sadly not on CZcams Music
@@hhfamily7528 really? It is for me. I have youtube Red though
@@hhfamily7528 tf are you talking about? I legit just listened to it on there like a week ago
@@hhfamily7528 it might be blocked in your country idk
Kinda funny you like Chuck's vocals in Painkiller. People usually say they suck but the cover is good. I tend to agree with your assessment. There is something wicked about doing Death Metal screams and still get to hear the notes and the vibratto. Even though Chuck hated his singing, he really slays this song imo.
Growling with pitch is really hard to do, especially without obliterating your vocal cords, and Chuck nails it on the Painkiller cover.
3:38 I definitely can't with that clip 💀
Personally I like Death a lot for its drumming, it's quite something to listen to even to this day, it has the right amount of groove and technique
I know I may die on this hill alone, but Cryptic Writings is a great Megadeth album. lol
Secret place is one of my favorite Deth songs
Vortex really stands out, even if they clearly tried to make Tornado of Souls lite, right down to the title.
Tbf I end up listening to it more than youthanasia, not saying it's better but I really think it's a good album. Trust and she-wolf carry it a lot but honestly stuff like use the man mastermind or sin are really cool
You will not die alone on that hill, op. I'll join you.
Cryptic Withing is my favourite Megadeath album! It's so underrated!
To judge Lars it only takes watching Dave Lombardo sitting in with Metallica... Dave is a great drummer.
About Anthrax: Many boyos forgett the Big 4 of Thrash is not a thing that evolves over time and periodically changues accordingly to wich bands are on the top of the subgenre at the time. As a matter of fact "Thrash" was barely a thing when this guys made it big. Is But meerly the name given to the bands that brought thrash Metal to the masses in the early 80's, been 86 the year in wich the nickname was widespread and Anthrax was there.
So, actually goes back to 1983 when a broke band tripped from SF to NY to record their first studio album, patroned by Jon Zazula the band where covered in the studio spenses, but otherwise had no money and barely a place to stay. Said band, on top of that, fired their lead guitar player and had a mew one flying to the city to replace it. There, the Anthrax lads had compasion of the boys, offered them food and beer for as long as they had to stay in NY, wich end up been about 15 days, when they finished their album.
Now, for those who live under a rock and have not guessed wich band it was, (drum rolls) it was METALLICA (for surprise of nobody) and yes that album was Kill'em all. Metallica, forever grateful with the Anthrax lads promosed them to take the on tour with them... Amd so they did, Anthrax tripped as Metallica's openning act for KEA (Part of Kill em all for one tour too, with Raven) and that gave Anthrax and the NY thrash scene a rather big boost wich lead to Anthrax signing up with megafore and eventually releasing Metal thrashing mad and Spreading the desiase to the masses, wich where about as good as Thrash was (not counting Metallica), furthermore, Anthrax Pionnered thrash to the masses in MTV releasing the video for "madhouse" in 1986, before even Megadeth's PSBWIB videos and therefore Anthrax made a pretty big name for themselves. And that was not all. Metallica came back into scene that 86' and took Anthrax on tour with them in the american leg they did with OZZY, so Anthrax only kept growing. As a matter of fact, when Among the living was released in 87', Anthrax was solidly place in the big four.
So, no, people can cry as much as they want, but Anthrax will never leave that group cause a) can't be moved; b) they earned it; c) As Brad said, you really think there is a bigger thrash band than Anthrax?
Anthrax' song Metal Thrashing Mad is the first time the name thrash was associated with the music; they basically coined the name for the genre 😄
If there is a 4th then imo Sepultura deserves to be in that spot. I consider Anthrax to be more traditional heavy metal than thrash metal. Still a great band that id group with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest instead.
Can't forget about how big of a deal Bring Tha Noise was (and its' enduring legacy thanks to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater), plus they guest starred on Married with Children!
@@FredCracklinTrue that, Anthrax also went on TV, nowadays doesn't seem like a big deal, but at the time it was
@@zoogie980 " traditional heavy metal " what? lol I wish traditional heavy metal sounded like Anthrax.
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTHH !!!!!!!!
"Their riffs are fantastic, but the way they stitch them together is terrible"
I thought you were talking about Children of Bodem there for a second.
But Death’s song writing really isn’t that good. All the songs follow that particular song structure where the song just repeats itself twice
Last few years? Death has been popular in my circles for decades
Hot take: Judas Priest Turbo has some hidden gems like "Reckless"
Such a good song
Hmm, Defenders of the Faith is my favourite JP album and I've honestly never listened to Turbo...but for the first time in 8 months I have a full afternoon tomorrow with 0 meetings, so time to warm up the KRKs!
@@ApothecaryTerry Yea Defenders of the Faith is my favorite too but really like the style of these several songs on Turbo. The other one is heart of a lion actually unreleased song but was meant to be on the Turbo but it is way better than the most of the songs on turbo.
Have to agree. When I first listened to one of the songs from it (think it was Turbo Lover), I pretty much liked it, but not as much as their more classical stuff, but when I listened to it several years later and heard Locked In and Out In The Cold, they practically instantly got into my list of favourite songs. And though I get some of the criticism and backlash aimed at this album, it certainly doesn't deserve pure hate, like that coming from some "fans of real Judas Priest and real heavy metal"
Time to take a break from studying and watch Bradley👍❤️
Power metal is my all time favorite Pantera album. Their heavy stuff still makes me cream, but power metal is like sex to my ears.
That album rocks
Power Metal and Cowboys are the only Pantera albums i really like.
Much like the Iron Maiden album cover, I found this video objectively terrible but a very FUN ride.
This guy talks about A7X like they're the second coming but says Death are overhyped/over frenzied lol
I disagree with him too, but it's just an opinion.
@@paperbackfilms3211ye because avengeds music is fucking incredible and so much talent and effort goes into their music and they always do what they want and the world needs bands like that and death are mid not bad but they do what they do that’s it they couldn’t right a song like the stage or save me
70s Priest is best Priest!
Defenders of the faith is the best music album ever put out but 70s is when judas priest was truly at its best form since they released a classic album each year.
@@kjone5086Yeah, I kinda think every era of priest has its place. A band that evolves musically, making mistakes along the way is imo so much better than one that hardly changes their decades old winning formula (like iron maiden).
Sad wings is an absolute masterpiece. One of my favorite albums ever, metal or not. Killing Machine and Stained Class are also top tier, Sin after Sin is slightly weaker but still good.
@kjone5086 *Screaming For Vengeance would like to know your location*
Cryptic Writing is a cool Cd, has its moments. Sin and master minds is awesome too
I liked it. When I first bought it my sister took it and lent it to one of her friends for two weeks without telling me. I was going crazy trying to find it because I had only listened to it once then the next day it was gone. Well I guess that person liked it since it took so long to get back. And they cracked the case. XP
Dime's solo on 'We'll meet again' was one of his best.
1:37 that’s what my dad would agree on. He told me that his favorite albums from Megadeath is “Countdown to Extinction” and “Cryptic Writings”
Who’s talkin sh*t about Chuck?
People who accept that the fans are a hive mind, and forget the band’s overrated
@@stantorren4400 Personaly I try to stay away from the politics of metal. I don’t know anything about other death fans other than it pisses people off when I say Individual thought patterns and symbolic are my favorite death albums. It reminds me of a symphony. It never sits still. Just when you think you’ve got it, it changes. If you don’t like them I don’t care. Death metal is a big gene.
those are my snd and third favorites..... someone with taste@@ianstotts8853
I want those Pantera albums on Spotify. It’s a crime they aren’t.
Mentioning Terry Glaze a couple times was great. Thanks for that. Love it!
Hey Bradley, do you stream on CZcams? I see your videos as stream compilations but I never know how to actually view the streams lol
Alright, here are some of my takes.
Limp Bizkit: They aren't one of my favourite bands, but I like some of their songs, some because they just have a nostalgic effect on me and others because I actually think are good (like "Down Another Day" or "Build a Bridge").
Judas Priest: I'm not really into their 70s stuff and I certainly enjoy their 80s songs a lot more, but I don't think early Priest were bad at all. It's a different time, therefore a different sound.
Pantera: My favourite Pantera album is "Power Metal," basically the bridge between Glamtera and their 90s sound (although generally seen as part of the Glamtera era). There are lots of good songs there, including "Hard Ride," "Proud to Be Loud" and "Down Below" (I also like Terry Glaze's original 1985 version). They also have some good songs in their earlier albums with Terry Glaze, but I reckon they weren't as good as the main glam bands of the time. But overall I like Glamtera. I also enjoy their 90s sound.
CHUCK! 🤟🏻 I'm 41, been listening to metal and numetal since 1996 and I ignored Death for pretty much all my life. Then last summer I decided to listen to the album "Symbolic" and now I'm obsessed with them!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Am I right in assuming that you haven't really heard Sound of Perseverance properly? Thank you for your kind concern.
It's a very divisive record to some people. Some love it and think is a masterpiece, and some others think is a piece of unlistenable crap.
I immediately got angry when I saw Bradley criticizing Death in the teaser. I'm glad I still watched the whole thing lol
Thank you for still doing amazing edit even though you switched to mostly live content on this channel. Most people just switch to live clips and post them how they are.
Hardly disagree with your opinion about death’s songwriting structure but I respect it
Sht I don’t sound like a death fan
But their song structure is shit. Just the song repeating itself after the solo, and good luck finding a song that deviates from that
cant have that diss on great southern trendkill. i think its better than all the glam, and far beyond driven, definitely better than reinventing the steel, and debatably better than vulgar. definitely my personal favourite though
Far beyond driven is peak pantera
@@Durkhead ive tried listening to it a couple times, and i definitely love a few songs on there (5 minutes, hard lines sunken cheeks, planet caravan), but the album as a whole just doesn't hit the same as some of their others. mad respect tho
I thought he was trolling with the Drag the Waters shade lmao
Southern trendkill is great and definitely beats their glam stuff but I think vulgar display of power is their best album.
VDOP is their best, then CFH. Trendkill is their worst post-glam album tbh.
Once you remove Fred’s vocals, Limp Bizkit is really damn top notch in the Nu Metal world.
As much as I enjoy getting GLAZED, I much prefer Pantera's later sound. Much more distinctive in my opinion. Also that was when Dimebag truly showed off what he could do.
I think the first 3 glamtera albums are decent, but the power metal is very good. Dime was looking for a lot more shred at that time, and the truth is, although it is not the pantera that we know (since they did not have such marked styles at that time compared to post cfh) I don't know why pantera wanted to erase it from its history. Greetings from Chile Brad!
Who came up with "The Big Four" thing?
With Pantera's Glam stuff, I'd actually reccomend their "I am the night" album with Terry Glaze on it. That album is just incredible. Songs like Valhalla, Hot and Heavy, Forever Tonight, it's great.
I hate that you pointed out Trust is a Sandman ripoff because I never heard it until now and now I probably will never not be able to not hear sandman when I hear Trust . I actually think She-Wolf is a fantastic song not necessarily a great Megadeth songs but as far as songwriting goes it’s one of the best most catchy choruses I’ve ever heard. Dave could write pop jingles for commercials and I mean that as a complement his songwriting grew more than his contemporaries in my opinion the same guy who wrote Mechanix wrote She Wolf , Mechanix is a cool song but I think Dave’s lyrics are kinda cringe on it , but it’s a fun song especially if you’re into Megadeth but She Wolf has always really impressed me with how familiar it sounded the first time I heard it and the ear worm chorus. So I guess my Hot Take is She Wolf is a better song than Mechanix lol.
"Ride the Lightning is better than rust in peace"*SCARED GOAT SCREAM*
I agree so much my dude tbh, Rust in peace CANNOT BE DEFEATED BY THAT

@@astyanaxia i totally respect your opinion, with my precedent comment i was just trynna express mine! I wrote "by that" just to not repeat the album name, tbh i also appreciate Ride the Lightning, just not as much, because (in my opinion) Rust in peace has far more iconic songs, or atleast songs i appreciate more, and i think it's one of Megadeth's best works, while RTL isn't really my favourite Metallica album!
Totally not meant to say it's bad tough, i know it's one of the most iconic metal albums ever
@@openggl i think it's because he exagerated his act a bit, we all know he also loves RTL, you can see it if you watch his vids tbh:) BTW NICE PFP!!!

What about Chuck?
“Ride the lightning sounds like ass” that’s the moment my respect died.
Saw Limp Bizkit open for Metallica at Summer Sanitarium 2003 Montreal, out door. Have to say, they did a love version of Welcome Home and it blew our hair back.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I notice there is never a mention of Overkill. This is a band that is massively underrated and does not get any attention on your channel.
Same for Kreator

From an objective point of view, it was better for everyone involved in the Metal scene when people bought more music, and spread less opinions lol. The fact that we are, forever, stuck in discussing the same old school bands from the 20th century is an indicator of this sad reality. It's genuinely creepy and sad.

I look at death as a completely diffrent animal in the metal scene, he created his own sound and every album theres something for everyone, personally leprosy, spiritual healing and scream bloody gore
No he didn’t. The band’s sound changed because of Cynic exposing him to what prog means. Atheist were releasing tech death before death, and cynic had members in the human linemapb
1988 - Pantera, "We'll Meet Again", "Power Metal" album. I don't believe early Pantera is correctly classified as Glam Metal. I believe that they were actually an early power metal band. Listen to this album specifically and still try to tell me they feel more like Poison or Winger, than Virgin Steele or Manowar.
Death is by far my favorite Death metal band of all time. There work is something I have never heard before. But its not for everyone. Personally I prefer Metallica over them, but Metallica and Death are my 1 and 2 favorite bands of all time.
Ride the Lightning farts on Rust in Peace

Definitely not
I absolutely love 70’s/80’s Priest. Not the stuff that got airplay (and overplayed), but there’s so much more to that era of priest.
Great video. Re: the big four. I was always under the impression that Anthrax were more commercially successful than Slayer during the eighties. Perhaps I am wrong about this, so please correct me if I am wrong
A Little Piece of Heaven is a masterpiece of a song because it’s not just a song, but it’s more of a story and it also shows how incredible Avenged Sevenfolds songwriting is!
I was listening to Death in 1990 when you were probably a young boy / kid, and it was already considered to be a well-established, "big" band even in the backwaterish, small post-commie country I grew up in. So while I agree they are probably not the best technically/songwriting-wise, I'd say the "hype" is not new, maybe it's a re-hype. (I like them, especially the older albums, before the lynch mob starts to search for me...)
As a Death fan, this is entirely true about the fanbase
i am surprised that Peter steele and Devin townsend were not spoken of in the vocalist part of the video
Phil anselmo is so much better of a singer than Corey failure
Yes... but his voice has aged and damaged since the 90's...
His vocal habilities have been reduced and deteriored...
But in his prime, he would crash many Metal vocalists without batting an eye...
I love Phil’s voice, but no.
does bradley not realise that death are arguably the most influential death metal band of all time and that they've been insanely popular for decades
Depends on what type of death metal. The more typical type of death metal has more influence from the likes of morbid angel, cannibal corpse, suffocation or incantation. If we’re talking tech death, then there’s greater death influence, but also other bands like necrophagist
@@stantorren4400 they're definitely pretty influential for early/classic death metal too, often hailed as its originators along with Possessed
Death was never that big back in the day? WHAT? That must be the most insane take in this video.
Did the people have the fucking HIVE-MIND that people have today about the band?
Only Sound of Perservance were registered on a Billboard chart
@@EncoreASMR didnt know that billboard was a reference for death metal....
Ya they were definitely one of if not arguably THE biggest thing in death metal at the time tbh. I think the some of the confusion about Death and their importance really just comes down to the vocals. People typically think of gutturals when you say death metal, where as Chuck was more of a screamer. So for a lot of people they occupy this weird space between death and thrash and people aren’t sure what to label them as. Admittedly I was confused about this as well for a long time before I really started getting into them. I thought they were just a heavy metal band that happened to be called Death, as I imagine many probably did. It wasn’t until later on that I began to realize that those guys were, in many ways kind of the OGs of death metal, which started as just an extreme form of thrash basically, and I began to appreciate them more and more
Something I learned quickly researching the Big 4 issue: reliable album sales data is really hard to come by for an apples-to-apples comparison. I keep seeing Anthrax has sold 10 million - not bad I guess but lower than I expected - but that's from 1991 to 2004 for some reason? For a band whose biggest sales might have been in the 80s? Then Megadeth has sold 12 or 50 million, Slayer is 20 million or 32 million, Iron Maiden is - wait, 7 million? That can't be right. So yeah, does anyone know where to find actual reliable numbers, where we can compare their entire sales history, and US or worldwide?
I'd have loved to be able to answer "Anthrax is in the big 4 because they've sold in the same ballpark as Slayer or Megadeth and twice as much as Exodus or Testament" but that data is sketchy. I'm looking at their discographies and peak chart positions, and through the 80s Anthrax and Megadeth albums peaked at similar positions, Metallica was slightly higher until And Justice For All got all the way to #6, and Slayer had lower peaks than any of them at the time.
Those numbers are nowhere near realistic. Take Megadeth for example, they've only had 3 albums legitimately go platinum / sell more than a million copies, with Countdown selling a little over 2 million. That's 4 million sales for their 3 biggest albums by far. And with most of their catalogue not even cracking gold, there's no way they've sold more than 10 million albums combined. As for Slayer, they've never come anywhere near a platinum album, but they spent twenty years squeaking gold, so they're probably somewhere between 6-8 million tops. Anthrax had 1 platinum album and a couple of golds too, but they're probably a little over 5 million overall at best, but at least still in the millions. And as for Iron Maiden, they've had numerous platinum albums and many golds, they've sold more than Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax combined. Not as many as Metallica though, not even close! Metallica dwarfs them all significantly!🤘
You better watch out bro. I am now searching for youm and eventually, I will find you. When i do find you you'll regret everything you said about Chuck. Say that he's beautiful and take those horrible takes back.
Ride the lighting is better than rust in peace 🤷♂️
On Megadeth lead guitarists- I put Glen Drover above Chris Broderick.
If you haven't, listen to his solo record "Metalusion", the playing on it is so fucking good, it's kind of a "metal fusion" kinda deal. Very cool imo - very underrated guitarist.
My dad saw Pantera live during the Glamtera days. His words on the experience were as follows "I hated glam metal at the time, still kinda do, but Dime was something to behold"
bro glamtera is NOT better than pantera
it is lol
It's like saying modern Metallica is better than 80s Metallica.
anything is better than Pantera, what an awful band. their glam music had to have been better.. its impossible not to be
@@gary6754 EXACTLY
@@umgfll7950 to steal a rant from ted Nugent - Pantera is caucasian music. its for whites with no sense of groove or swing
Lars ulrich best drummer ezez
Very original
Imagine changing your comment to avoid the truth
Average pyrocynical comment section
As good as I am being an Astronaut... xD 😅
Bro just changed his comment 💀
the dance of death cover always reminded me of the sims game
lol 🤣 I saw a thumbnail of vitas the 7th element in your background pmsl, I had to pause your vid and search for it cause seen it in a funny meme takiin the piss about tesla cars. sorry lol also had a listen to darkthrone, your right the punk sound is good, I liked it a lot. I quite like underground punk, been to a few gigs in liverpool and in Ireland, Fun times..
Ozzy is definitly BETTER than Dio for Black sabbath
Dio is a better singer?... Yes.
But 99% of the best Black Sabbath songs were recorded with Ozzy...
Don't get me wrong, Dio is amazing...
But Black Sabbath without Ozzy is not Black Sabbath...
@@IsaacTuduriLlabres agree
But Ride The Lightning IS better than Rust in Peace
Hello Bradley, have you tried talking about LSD? (Lord and Saviour, Death).
Tongue of Fire by Emperor has one of the coolest guitar sections of any song I've heard. Definitely check it out if you haven't. It's a bit half after the halfway mark.
Nu Metal Isn’t Metal And It’s Cringe & Metallica is overrated and Shouldn’t Be in The big 4, Change my mind
It’s just a very soft genre of metal so it technically counts
Quoting Stephen Crowder. Now that’s cringe.
Metallica stole too much from others and no good cds in 38 years. They be trash
@@waverlyking6045quoting crowder is cringe on its own
I like the first 5 Metallica albums, less passionate towards all the posterior ones...
But why do you consider LB a bad band ? I'm just curious. I really love Wes's riffs and Fred's scream
Ride the Lightning is a great album, but Rust in Peace is just on a whole another level.
i think we need to talk about King Diamond next. it would 100% be funny or awesome.
wouldn't be too surprised if those nerds turned out to hate king diamond
