Honestly Venom is definitely the most underrated metal band of all time, not only for influence but also because alot of their songs are actually killer, in fact I learned how to play guitar faster by playing their songs
Overrated both of them, Megadeth best album is from 1986, and in the 90's some Death Metal bands were doing much better stuff than Pantera, I don't see any particular band ruling that period.
I think for #1 spot it should of been Black Sabbath/Heaven&Hell since they were the same band but, different singer/drummer. Motörhead does RULE, Iron Maiden RULES, Black Sabbath RULES but, if Black Sabbath rules then Heaven&Hell RULES also.... Now if they were going to do top Rock Bands, RJD's Rainbow would be #1 or #2. Queen/The Headcats would be on there.
Among these ten, this is my preference ranking: 1 Iron Maiden 2 Slayer 3 Judas Priest 4 Pantera 5 Megadeth 6 Black Sabbath 7 Metallica 8 Motörhead 9 Anthrax 10 Venom
LOL NO ! megadeth is the fourth most popular metal band ever behind Metallica, Sabbath, and maiden, with 60 mil sales. Anthrax barely has more sells then slipknot and avenged sevenfold, with 15 mil sells. Apples and oranges.
I am an American and my favorite heavy metal band of all time is Black Sabbath. They have so many good songs other than the ones most people recognize (Paranoid, Iron Man, Heaven and Hell, and War Pigs).
IF you were to take TONY IOMMI out of the picture of BLACK SABBATH ,his sound ,guitar playing, and all around creative ability with his guitar ,I feel there would be no list of TOP 10 heavy metal bands.

If Tony never came along with who he was in the music world there would have been a need for everything TONY started or there be no release of the feeling his musical ability gave us through his music.

+ak47grizzly that is true. I personally love black Sabbath but I also don't think they are the best. the video name is misleading. she says that they are talking about influence at the beginning. therefore, no black Sabbath, no anybody
LEO420 Well they did create the Heavy Metal genre, but I don’t believe they should be number 1 because they did so. Other bands took that sound to a whole new level. Bands like Queen and Motörhead added speed to it, while others like Mettalica and Slayer incorporated double bass drumming and shredding into the genre.
Just because they created it does not mean they are the best at it. And, hate to burst your bubble, but there are bands that people consider metal that were made before Black Sabbath. Judas Priest and Scorpions, for a couple (Scorpions' musical style ranges from hard rock to heavy metal, I say that counts, others might have differing opinions; that is fine; pretty much everyone agrees that Judas Priest is a metal band so I will not argue for their case in this). Black Sabbath brought it into the mainstream, but bands like Iron Maiden and Motorhead would have done the same.
They have millions of monthly streams on Spotify and are one of the most popular and recognizable metal acts... if you want underrated go listen to Acid Bath
Just came across this video. Well, in the mid 80's I started listening to Metal; Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Dio, you name it. The only band I ever truly loved and still listening today is Iron Maiden.I think they have become better over time but their live shows are still awesome.
+Jarvis Winston Will you still make that face by seeing my list? 10. Venom 09. Pantera 08. Anthrax 07. Slayer 06. Megadeth 05. Metallica 04. Iron Maiden 03. Motörhead 02. Judas Priest 01. Black Sabbath
I love Bruce Dickinson's voice as he is a great singer for metal or ballads and cannot think of another heavy metal singer who has a great singing voice
My Top Ten: 1. IRON MAIDEN 2. BLACK SABBATH 3. METALLICA 4. JUDAS PRIEST 5. MEGADETH 6. SLAYER 7. PANTERA 8. SEPULTURA 9. MOTÖRHEAD 10. MASTODON Great Video!
Scott Keppler but before they softened. They were already ripping everyone off. one off they 80’s songs. They ripped off Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
not to be a buzzkill, but more then half of theese bands are not heavy metal at all, especially not death (godfathers of death metal in all their glory, but not heavy)
The same ones that ozzy is on cuz they gotta b on some strong shit to have megadeath pantera anthrax and metallica on a best anything list fuck ppl with real talent like Dio and King Diamond
Fuck no, Black Sabbath is fucking shit compared to Iron fucking Maiden! Ozzy is bumbling tool, and all their music is nothing but a couple of power chords and a simple solo. Black Sabbath may be an influential band, but it gave way to WAY better bands, Iron Maiden included. Fuck Sabbath. Up the Irons!
Black Sabbath founded heavy metal and deserve number. The Beatles are playing She Loves you Ya Ya Ya and then the song “Black Sabbath” comes on the radio. Think about it.
they're not my favourite band but they are THE most influential metal band ever and really influential in the rock area i really haven't found one bad song... Not with ozzy and not with dio
Are you kidding? Judas Priest = Heavy Metal Nile = Death Metal Overkill = Thrash Metal Anthrax = Thrash Metal Bolt Thrower = Death Metal Metallica (old) = Thrash Metal Dio = Heavy Metal Megadeth = Thrash Metal Iron Maiden = NWOBHM Death = Death Metal Sooooo.....
+OrionX2 I agree about Motorhead, but Metallica deserve their spot. They have been consistently been the best live band the last 20 years or so. I've seen them 17 times over the years and never saw them have a bad gig.
y0sh1100 I'll give you your opinion about not liking priest even though I personally think you are absolutely wrong about it, however as for Metallica owing them nothing, if that were the case why have they covered priest and had Rob on the stage at all. Metallica may be the more popular band, but priest is definitely an influence and, in my opinion at least, are honestly much better players (then again its not hard to be better than Lars at drumming) and much more interesting songsmith's. There is a reason Judas Priest are called the Metal Gods.
I mean I think Iron Maiden should be in the top spot! Their just bloody awesome! I love them! It’s great that they got second place though! I dislike lists where they aren’t even an honourable mention. Glad too see Black Sabbath at number one though!
No disrespect, but you probably only say that, because you are american. The european Extreme Metal scene was more influenced by bands like Sodom, Venom, Bathory or Hellhammer. Death rules tho. Hails from Germany dude \m/
***** Saying that Death should replace Venom because I'm an American is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. Yes I'm an American but my reason for Death is because to me they were bigger than Venom, and without them there wouldn't be Death Metal, hence the name lol!

I approve of this list :) Metallica and Saxon higher for me tho!
No fuckin Slayer???
you are idiot
Pretty spot on top 10. Maiden will always be my number 1 band, but there's no denying the role Black Sabbath had in heavy metal.
Mine no.1 will always be Metallica 🤟
@@geenmemeisillegaal sama, tanpa melupakan Maiden, Sabbath.
Lol. Dickinson. The biggest cry baby in rock for SURE.
The top 3 Should be:
1) Black Sabbath
2) Judas Priest
3) Iron Maiden
I mean, they are the pioneers of metal
So was Adam and Eve, buddy!
Pat McTallica Such a *great* joke, hope you are proud of yourself
Could not agree more
No dio
Gotta take Priest off since Rob Halford is gay... just doesn't go with heavy metal
Just came across this video. Well, in the mid 80's I started listening to Metal; Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Dio, you name it. The only band I ever truly loved and still listening today is Iron Maiden.I think they have become better over time but their live shows are still awesome.
you see my profile pic ? that's the face i made when you put Megadeth under Anthrx and Slayer.......
100% Agreed. Megadeth beats both Slayer and Anthrax, As well as Metallica and Black Sabbath, Although i like the Iron Maiden the same as Megadeth.

@@joe972 what's with the hate?
Nice to see Sepultura getting on a top ten list!
Black sabbath aka the pioneers of heavy metal and founders of metal as a whole
They didn't realize they were creating anything. But Tony tuning his guitar down created that sound.
Los Bombero And Iommi using much lighter string.
It was lemmy who made metal as it is today. He made metal with his unique bass playing
Sabbath is my favorite heavy metal band of all time.
We're Motorhead. And we play rock and roll. Lemmy's wards.
Lemmy for president
Lemmy, the last real Rock n Roller.
I think motorhead should have been higher but that might but my own bies cause They were my frist true metal band i started to like
@@thebluerap9721 they are my most recent, but they are in fact my favourite

Get over it.
Black Sabbath isnt the best.
@@vanplq8841 who’s the best then Limp Suckzit?
@@IdiocyShow Iron Maiden is the best heavy metal band.
Black Sabbath number 1 that’s all this list got right the rest of the bands I agree but in different order for sure
As was stated Metallica has softened , Total sell outs .
Scott Keppler but before they softened. They were already ripping everyone off. one off they 80’s songs. They ripped off Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
So why didn't you list them in your order?
Venom is 10 too
Scott Keppler Just because they softened doesn’t mean they are any less inspiration
I love heavy fucking metal!🤘⚡🔥💥
Iron Maiden should be the number one.. period!!
Ariall-92 Cante black sabbath took The place

not to be a buzzkill, but more then half of theese bands are not heavy metal at all, especially not death (godfathers of death metal in all their glory, but not heavy)

Much better than in the video
Alright, whoever put PanterA at 8th should be thrown in jail

@@angeltripper8518 maybe off the list entirely would be better
Metallica at number 3 What kind of drugs are watch mojo on?
They don't deserve to be higher than maiden or sabbath.
st anger lulu death magnetic are some reasons
@@tObito687 Death Magnetic was amazing and brought back the old style
Metallica best band

To your information:
Heavy Metal is all metal.
It's not just New wave of British HM
It's about the most influential bands in heavy metal (also slayer, megadeth, anthrax, Metallica, pantera are not nwobhm)
Only Heavy Metal saves ! At least, it has always saved me from a boring life and given me meaning to live. Nothing else matters.

Nikka M. They included venom and multiple thrash acts
ding ding ding ding ding
@Bert_Sampson And Venom ! This band is the father of the Thrash metal and Death metal. This band is one of the most important band of the story
Mayhem? OMG head shoot
I’m so happy that you decided to put Nickleback at first place ahead of Back Sabbath.
Is this sarcasm I sense?

I said to myself before this list began:
"If Sabbath isn't number one, I'm going to punch someone."

I grew up on Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Ozzy! And I still love Pantera! Good video, thanks.
iron maiden should be first . and why the fuck aren't man o war
You're god damn right, about the Iron Maiden thing at least
are u kidding ofc Black Sabbath better than iron maiden
Really?! Black Sabbath is way better than Iron Maiden.
Fuck no, Black Sabbath is fucking shit compared to Iron fucking Maiden! Ozzy is bumbling tool, and all their music is nothing but a couple of power chords and a simple solo. Black Sabbath may be an influential band, but it gave way to WAY better bands, Iron Maiden included. Fuck Sabbath. Up the Irons!
+CynicalGreg McRoyerson not really man but I do agree with iron maiden being first in some point
My favourite is Iron maiden xD They are awesome!!
Black Sabbath founded heavy metal and deserve number. The Beatles are playing She Loves you Ya Ya Ya and then the song “Black Sabbath” comes on the radio. Think about it.
Haha I think the Beatles are extremely overrated.
Think whatever you want, Black Sabbath will be always on first place
Nah slayer black Sabbath 2
@@liamguy7182 Nah
Black Sabbath number one the very beginning
they're not my favourite band but they are THE most influential metal band ever and really influential in the rock area i really haven't found one bad song... Not with ozzy and not with dio
Here's my Top 10:
10. Judas Priest
9. Nile
8. Overkill
7. Anthrax
6. Bolt Thrower
5. Metallica (old)
4. Dio
3. Megadeth
2. Iron Maiden
1. Death
half of those aren't heavy metal
Are you kidding?
Judas Priest = Heavy Metal
Nile = Death Metal
Overkill = Thrash Metal
Anthrax = Thrash Metal
Bolt Thrower = Death Metal
Metallica (old) = Thrash Metal
Dio = Heavy Metal
Megadeth = Thrash Metal
Iron Maiden = NWOBHM
Death = Death Metal
Sooooo.....
so what ? death or thrash aren't HEAVY metal , right ? they are OTHER metal geners
and the title of the video says " HEAVY metal "
soooooooooo.....
Uuuuhhh, you do realize that Megadeth was on the list in the video and that they are Thrash Metal?
yeah , i know ...stupid ...
Motorhead should be higher, Metallica should be far lower, Judas Priest should have been in the top 3.
+Matt Thompson what about master of puppets album?
+OrionX2 I agree about Motorhead, but Metallica deserve their spot. They have been consistently been the best live band the last 20 years or so. I've seen them 17 times over the years and never saw them have a bad gig.
***** If it weren't for Sabbath and Priest, there wouldn't be a Metallica..
+OrionX2 Judas Priest shouldn't even be on the list at all. They're terrible. Metallica owe them nothing
y0sh1100 I'll give you your opinion about not liking priest even though I personally think you are absolutely wrong about it, however as for Metallica owing them nothing, if that were the case why have they covered priest and had Rob on the stage at all. Metallica may be the more popular band, but priest is definitely an influence and, in my opinion at least, are honestly much better players (then again its not hard to be better than Lars at drumming) and much more interesting songsmith's. There is a reason Judas Priest are called the Metal Gods.

Anthrax....
Black Sabbath
Yeah!
DIO was in black sabbath too, so NVM
Iron Maiden THE BEST!!!
Without Black Sabbath, there is no heavy metal.
🤘
Yes. And without metallica metal wouldnt be that great
@@xarisvoit9809 jajaja
Black sabbath was already that great.
@@xarisvoit9809 they put the heavy in metal
Iron maiden and Black sabath 🖤🖤
Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Iron Maiden! The original big four!
Rhys Wachtler the other three came almost 10 years after Sabbath did
Adrian Martinez Not true, Priest has been active since 1969, and Motorhead and Maiden since 1975.
Um Dio
Hell yeah!!!!
Rhys Wachtler Black Sabbath came out in 1968 and even though I like Priest, they didn't really do much until maybe 1972
I mean I think Iron Maiden should be in the top spot! Their just bloody awesome! I love them! It’s great that they got second place though! I dislike lists where they aren’t even an honourable mention.
Glad too see Black Sabbath at number one though!
Why wasn't Ronnie James Dio on this list?
Watchmojo are acting like they listen to metal, only thing i liked was how they included venom.
@@arizonainacan8594 Yeah Venom is awesome.
the band is named after him anyways.
Yeah Rainbow is awesome
@Daniel Olsen Dio is the band name, fronted by ronnie james Dio. Check out Rainbow they are the godfathers of Epic metal.
Venom should've been replaced by Death.
Fuck yeah!
Death is at least top 5!
Bloodlust...come on, turn it up!
No disrespect, but you probably only say that, because you are american. The european Extreme Metal scene was more influenced by bands like Sodom, Venom, Bathory or Hellhammer.
Death rules tho. Hails from Germany dude \m/
***** Saying that Death should replace Venom because I'm an American is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life. Yes I'm an American but my reason for Death is because to me they were bigger than Venom, and without them there wouldn't be Death Metal, hence the name lol!
Watchmojos logic: If they are the first with something they Have to be the best!...
