Tool. They're Heavy Metal because I say so.

 

Bruce Willis plays guitar in a metal band?

 

Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell (1980)

A̲nthrax̲ - Am̲o̲ng The Liv̲ing (1987)

 

Yngwie Malmsteen - Best of

Van Halen Eruption Guitar Solo

 

Nightwish, in my all-time top 3 bands. Symphonic orchestra and choir mashed-up with metal. Incredible vocalists. Incredible lives. Marko - bass, vocals and some writing - left the band a couple months ago...

This is the best definition hands down. Well said, almost-neighbor
Like always there are exceptions. The classics Iron Maiden, like someone well pointed out technically, had a tone/distortion that was more comparable to, say, more modern hard rock bands.

Ronnie James Dio - Holy Diver (1983)

D̲io – S̲acred H̲e̲art (Full Album) 1985

 

Aren't we forgetting somebody?

 

A favourite band of mine, I seem to recall Spinal Tap was about them...

 

No doubt about that, that's why I wrote HM, not just Metal.

In case some of you don't know this band, don't worry, the vid has only close 145 million clicks.

 

Wow.. It's one of those "wtf did I just watch" kinda things heheh

Reminded me of this crazy tribute band that popped on youtube the other day..

Even Yngwie (and Vivaldi) must approve!

I don't know if this would be considered Blues Rock, Rock, Hard Rock or Heavy Metal, but there it goes..

It's like a love-hate relationship between the very Interesting and Great playing/Composition (specially for the time),
and the Singing.. sometimes it's like fak dude, such a bad singer and so helplessly German.. lol

But also very Authentic at the same time!
Great disc I always Loved, so it's all in good terms, no hard feelings

 

I keep reading about them and I'm sure they're nice kids.
Unfortunately seems a metal version of the Japanese "idol" concept. Can't like that.

 

Yep, that band is for sure made, but the music is great, IMHO.
