Question for Metalheads……….?
Ok just to make something clear to myself. Selling more albums does not = the better band… agreed? (I’m talking about Metallica… obviously).
Would you agree that Metallica fanboy’s are the most idiotic, illiterate scum of the metal world? I mean, deep down, I am actually a massive fan of Metallica. But these fanboys just do not know other metal bands or guitarists beyond their precious Metallica or their precious Hammett.
So…
Name a band which YOU reckon is better than Metallica in most aspects.
Ignore the fact that I am the REAL Vic Rattlehead.
Metallica IS one of my favorites. But I’m no fanboy (Heck, I’m going to see Megadeth in March).
Pantera is my #1. I like them better cause I think they’re the heaviest band there is, that has good music.
As far as talent in the bands, it’s like this for me.
Guitar-Pantera
Vocals-Metallica
Drums-Tie
Bass-Metallica
But I think Pantera edges them out with their music (if only by the smallest bit).

ok i love metallica and james to me was an amazing music composer but for me the greatest in metal was Chuck Shuldiner of death i mean he to me was a better composer than Dime..chuck new many scales but he interpreted them to make great melodies..his riffs were good and his solo style to me is a shred but not just a shred it was melodic it was much more than a shred..gojiras drummer is like100 times better than lars cuz he knows many diff styles of drumming not just typical metal..not to mention he can double bass faster than like joey…but i love metallica for things that they did i loved how they changed there style..and im labeled as a metalhead but i love listining to classical and jazz and punk and rock everything except for metalcore

I would go with Slipknot. I absolutely love that band. The vocals are good, [To me that's a big thing], up to 3-4 drummers in some songs, and the soloes are perfect. if you want something for you to get ‘lost’ in, then try Slipknot….They have four albums right now: Slipknot, Iowa, Vol 3: the Subliminal verses [happens to be my favorite] and All Hope Is Gone. Alright, good luck with that. cya

I can name plenty, most of which aren’t metal though. Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, the list goes on for me. And I agree, anyone who can’t see past Hammet is idiotic and missing out and a lot of good stuff

Regardless of genre, i’d agree that record sales is normally not reflective of any particular artist’s talent.
One band that I certainly feel has more talent than Metallica? Iced Earth. Of course, that’s just one metal artist who I feel is much more talented than Metallica. That goes without listing hundreds of country, blues and jazz artists that have mich more musical talent than Metallica…then there are also all the rock artists who don’t belong to the sub genre of metal who are much more talented than Metallica.

It’s not their illiteracy which completely grates me (though it does annoy me). It’s the "omg metallica rawkz all other bands suck azz" thing. But not all Metallica fans are like that, so..
v.v.
And..does it have to be a similar genre of metal to Metallica (ie, no Iron Maiden? because Iron Maiden beats them out.) How about one of the other well known thrash bands, Anthrax?
And what about..well, I know I’ll get lots of flak for this, but Alcatrazz. They’re kind of (kind. of.) a hair metal band, but man, Steve Vai can play. And the drums, the singing..ah, it’s amazing.
and..well, IMO I have a lot of guitarists I feel are better than Hammett, across lots of genres. Even if they aren’t as technically skilled..they have more charisma, so..hm.
and yes, I agree that album sales are a crap method of determining a bands skill. You know, based on that, we can say Ke$ha is the best artist today

Rob Zombie
Ministry
Korn
Iron Maiden

I like Danzig and Manson more than Metallica too.
I like Metallicas old stuff, back in the garage days, before they became all top 40ish. Talk to some of the so called Metallica fans and they don’t even know the old stuff.

Yeah i love metallica but sometimes ashamed to say because of all the typical 12yo poser kids.
I reckon metellica is similar, but no where near as great as Led Zeppelin. Even tho Zeppelin were huge at their time, when i mention there name around people, some will go ‘Who are they? Never heard of them’.. and i think wow, i feel sorry for you.
Still Zeppelin is waaay better

I could say any of a hundred bands, but I’m going to go with… Megadeth.
Victorinox gets the thumbs downs even though he’s right, Slipknot IS better than Metallica.

Metallica was great first few albums from Kill Em All to Black album, thats it for me.
Kirk Hammet sucks btw I adore Marty Friedman. Of course any kids will tell you Hammet is Gawd lmoa
I think TOOL is better on one aspect they have not changed their style of music, and keeps getting better. Just my own opinion

Im kinda of a metal head and i say kinda because i only like trash metal but i agree some metallica fanboys should stop listening to the black album (too mainstream) and start headbanging to ride the lightning album(my fav).
Since i only really listen to trash metal in the heavy metal genre id have to say Megadeth might be more talented than metallica.
