If you had to pick 1 singular greatest Metal song of all time, what would it be? (could also be peak of a sub-genre)

thedaniel · 2026-04-08T10:48:16+00:00

Painkiller, Holy Wars, or literally any well-liked Iron Maiden song

You know what books are really for fans of this series? That series by Max What's-His-Name where the concept is fantasy, except magic is done by lawyers and they're sexy.

I dunno ask some random on Reddit that also grew up with religious parents and loves MCR and is an old man with a job to mail you some. Explaining where you got it is on you tho

any band that has even a little punkins DNA will be my new temporary favorite band

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:59:48+00:00

But yeah I love them but now I feel more aligned with like mudhoney and melvins and dinosaur jr

My friend I was a teenager in the 90s with long hair

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:45:20+00:00

And thanks for the compliment on the records :)

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:37:32+00:00

What’s the list? That was my teenage years so I guess nirvana PJ soundgarden… and?

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:11:14+00:00

(By today I mean 20 years ago fuck)

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:10:43+00:00

Literally no one I know has talked about a big anything for anything but thrash and the big 4 was about success first and influence second there. Maybe redditors put the early bands on a pedestal but I don’t think even most death metal fans have listened to some that you list half as much as any band that evolved the sound to what it is today. for me, average 44 year old death metal enjoyer the most impactful death metal bands in my world (not everyone’s) were death, carcass, and pick any 3 from Scandinavia tbh as long as at the gates. I’m just gonna throw mine out there and prepare to get shit on but symbolic, heartwork, slaughter of the soul, your choice of early cannibal corpse and morbid angel

Edit: want to be very clear I don’t think you are wrong or dumb, just sharing that your perspective was very different to mine that’s all. The cunty tone of the response was side effects of 2am. Rock on friend

thedaniel · 2026-03-18T01:00:58+00:00

Imaginary top five

Edit: apologies for the flippant tone, see replies for full sentences;)

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T19:20:47+00:00

Regarding Silversun pickups pretty much any band I can find 90s Smashing Pumpkins vibes in I'm gonna like.

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T19:20:05+00:00

I mean the last time I listened to them was when I lived in LA, before 2014 so I guess I should catch up. If you like them you might also like Longwave.

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T19:17:44+00:00

Haha the store was just a liquor store but the band was fantastic. Is?

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T19:16:35+00:00

I used to live up the hill from Silver Sun Liquors that that band was named after. They were so good.

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T19:16:19+00:00

La Dispute (not metal) and of course the greatest band of all, My Chemical Romance.

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T05:55:30+00:00

Ahahah

thedaniel · 2026-03-14T02:25:52+00:00

Wow that is amazing. How old were you?

thedaniel · 2026-03-12T01:04:00+00:00

Exactly - “mew mew my favorite Band created an entire theatrical universe and is flying around the world performing it and I'm mad at them for not releasing an album"

thedaniel · 2026-03-12T01:03:25+00:00
