You know you've done something right with your metal UA-cam channel when fans of prog metal, 90's black metal, and Avenged all have nothing but positive to say.
@@RastaganTheGreen if he throws a Limp Bizkit album there, he will successfully manage to make black metal fans, prog metal fans and heavy metal fans agree on something for the first time in the history of ever, that Limp Bizkit shouldn't be there 😂😂
I was first fascinated by Metallica. I bought a guitar, learned a few riffs and just when I started to feel SORT OF confident I discovered Megadeth riffs. Back to 1st grade.
my top albums W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children Riot - Thundersteel Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell Carcass - Swansong Agalloch - The Mantle Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics Skull Fist - Chasing the Dream
10. Thank you scientist - maps of non-existent places 9. Dream theater - metropolis pt.2 scenes from a memory 8. Porcupine tree - fear of the blank planet 7. Megadeth - rust in peace 6. Gojira - from mars to sirius 5. Opeth - still life 4. Vektor - terminal redux 3. Opeth - ghost reveries 2. Edge of sanity - crimson 1. Opeth - blackwater park (Yes i love opeth)
I’ve been a massive Metallica fan for years, but I will never argue with anyone who says Rust in Peace is the greatest metal album of all time…it’s an absolute masterpiece and I share Bradley’s opinion of Megadeth to the letter 🤘
10: Dream Theater- Train of Thought 9: Tool- Aenima 8: Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet 7: Gojira- L'Enfant Sauvage 6: Opeth- Ghost Reveries 5: Metallica- And Justice for All 4: Death- Individual Thought Patterns 3: System of a Down- Steal This Album 2: Mastodon- Crack the Skye 1: Metallica- Ride the Lightning Honorable mention: Trivium- The Sin and the Sentence
Rust In Peace is my favorite album of all time, too. Others albums, in no-particular order are: • The Sound of Perseverance - Death • Ride The Lightning - Metallica • Bonded By Blood - Exodus • Persistence of Time - Anthrax • Painkiller - Judas Priest • Cowboys From Hell - Pantera • Somewhere In Time - Iron Maiden • Scenes From A Memory - Dream Theater • Sabotage - Black Sabbath • Reign In Blood - Slayer • Keeper of the Seven Keys (1 and 2) - Helloween
Master of Puppets is my #1. Not a single skippable track and everything on it just goes right. Another album I think worth mentioning is Sabaton's Carolus Rex. I know it's not the most complex thing ever, but the sheer amount of emotion and passion the band put into it and how fluently it tells its story makes it just a phenomenal listen every time
im not into avenged sevenlfold at all. i really dont know why, it just doesnt grow on me. that said i must say i laughed the shit out of this comment ahahaha thank you even if it was not the intent
@@christopherhowes987 It's definitely their most enjoyable. StST, I mean, it's cool, but it's ass compared to everything else they've made. Still better than a lot of metalcore I've heard though, so props there. Waking the Fallen...well, let's be totally honest, it's a timeless metalcore album and is up there with the greats like All That Remains' Fall of Ideals. Maybe not as widely loved/appealing, but it's up there. I love it. City of Evil was just insanity. Third album from a relatively new band, pulling off shit basically no other band could at the time. The absolute skill of everyone in CoE, top-notch (I mean Matt hit an F1 in one passage of Betrayed and an A5 in the backing of the intro to Beast and the Harlot. Burn it Down had insane drumming. M.I.A was guitar nerd paradise.) IMO their prime before The Stage, maybe just period. Self-Titled, super varied, has a song for anyone, nothing more that has to be said there. Nightmare, very emotional, amazing album, but not their best work MUSICALLY. However, it was an incredibly emotional hard-hitter and it certainly deserves points for that. Hail to the King, cool, still A7X, but not my favourite at all. And The Stage...oh boy. Basically if Dream Theater (in their prime) decided to stop being show-offs and actually wrote some consistent, sensical prog. Like Opeth's prime.
Hangar 18 is the song that got me into metal full time, the combination of Dave & Marty’s guitar work, the magical vocals from Dave in the song, and just the overall feeling you get from it
@@tonywacholz6279 my favorite would be the conjuring Hangar 18 got me into metal But the conjuring ruined my neck for good back in April My first concert ever back in April, and as soon as the drums kicked in after Obey I let loose
I told the same to everyone. Rust in Peace is the best master piece ever created. I’m not a big fan of Megadeth, but this album is the foundation of all my guitar and music.
I'm a huge Ride the Lightning guy. It was what made me fall in love with the genre and I highly doubt I'll hear anything more magnificent in my entire life. Some of my other favourites would be Rust in Peace, Toxicity by SOAD and really anything by TOOL. They've never had a bad album.
Same here... bought RTL in '85 when no one had really heard of them in the UK on the basis of hearing Creeping Death on the Tommy Vance show. I had to include it in my list because of how it blew me away! JFA might be my favourite, but for me it's hard to choose between those two and you can also chuck MOP into the mix.
I completely agree with Dance of Death - I loved it immediately and often go back to it. No More Lies and Paschendale are two of their best 'long' songs. Also on the 'out of the comfort zone' stuff, Face in the Sand is the only song where Nicko McBrain uses double-kick pedal (he said it's the hardest thing he's ever done). Scenes from a Memory is indeed the best DT album :)
Maidens 00’s run was amazing. Brave New World, Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death, Final Frontier are all amazing. Like man it’s insane they stayed so good after 20 years
Wow, dance of death is a preety unusual pick. Great list beanley!!! Here's mine: 1- Megadeth - Rust In Peace (1990) 2- Artillery - By Inheritence (1990) 3- Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990) 4- Death - Leprosy (1988) 5- Megadeth - Youthanasia (1994) Some other that I ADORE, in no order: Annihilator - Alice In Hell (1989) Metallica - Ride The Lightning (1984) Slayer - Show No Mercy (1983) Megadeth - Endgame (2009) Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016)
I'm late to the party, but here's my top 10 metal albums: 1. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence 2. Opeth - Blackwater Park 3. Demilich - 20th Adversary of Emptiness 4. Cryptopsy - None So Vile 5. Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient 6. Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels 7. Gorguts - Obscura 8. Meshuggah - I 9. Ulcerate - Everything is Fire 10. Suffocation - Pierced From Within
My top ten would be something like this (it changes every week tho haha): 1- Opeth - Blackwater Still Ghost of the Damnation Hearse 2- Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear 3- Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 4- Megadeth - Rust in Peace 5- Agalloch - The Mantle 6- Between the Buried and Me - Colors 7- Death - Symbolic 8- Deafheaven - Sunbather 9- Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire 10- Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
Not in a particular order, because that would take too long to decide honestly! Metallica - ...And Justice for All Agalloch - The Mantle Carach Angren - Where the Corpses Sink Forver Megadeth - Rust In Peace Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising Death - The Sound of Perseverance Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper Vektor - Black Future Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
My favorite is Korn's self titled. I don't care if it's nu metal, it still sounds awesome. It's nice to know that whenever I'm pissed off, there are four guys from Bakersfield who feel the same way
Let me tell you how Rust in Peace (the album) became my favorite metal album of all times. I discovered Megadeth in 2002 when I was 16. I am from Brazil and, as always, metal was not exactly popular down here. So, if we wanted to buy a CD from a metal band that was not Iron Maiden or Metallica (bands that were "popular enough" for the labels to decide to print their CDs in Brazil), for example, we had no choice but to acquire imported CDs, which would cost me all the money I had for a month. Thus, my friends and I used to first download the songs of a given band through softwares like Napster, Kazaa, Emule and only after we were 100% sure that a certain band was worthy, we would then spend our limited cash to buy that band's CD. Well, back in 2001/2002, when you searched for a given bands song in one of those softwares like Kazaa, you would get MP3 files named such as "Metallica - One", or "Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills", following the pattern "Band name - song name". Therefore, when I was "discovering" ("downloading" cough, cough) Megadeth I had a folder filled with individual songs in MP3 format like "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - She Wolf", with no information whatsover about from what album each song came from. The thing is that, from all the Megadeth songs I have downloaded, after one year I had my personal Top 5: "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Take no Prisioners", "Megadeth - Lucretia", and "Megadeth - Tornado of Souls". I thought these songs were awesome, the guitar playing was out of this world (I never heard those scales and that riff creativity), and somehow had a magic element that other Megadeth songs did not have. I did not know all these songs where from the same album. To be honest, I only found out that these 5 songs were from the same album 2 or 3 years after I had establisedh my top 5 best Megadeth songs. What was my surprise at the end of 2004 when I found out that, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs were from the same album, but also there was one extra major song, which beared the same name of the album: "Rust in Peace". After I found out all these 5 songs belonged to the same album, Rust in Peace was already one of my favorite albums ever. I recall I that my expectations were very, very high when I finally got to listen "Megadeth - Rust in Peace" for the first time. After five minutes listening to that song, I was completely baffled that Megadeth had surprised me again: not only Rust in Peace was a great song, it was a thrash metal master piece, I had no choice but to turn my top 5 Megadeth songs a top 6. So, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs back then were from the same album, but this album was so damn good that it made me discover another thrash metal jewel "Rust in Peace... polaris". After discovering this last song, "Rust in Peace" became my favorite metal album of all time, and still is. Like a good wine, Rust in Peace is aging very well. If you google now "best metal album of all times", Rust in Peace will appear among the very best, where it belongs.
Among The Living by Anthrax is probably my number 1 metal album of all time, there is not a bad song on that album (in my opinion). It's also given me a massive amount of inspiration as a guitar player.
My favs are: Scenes from a memory - dream theater The human equation - ayreon The divine wings of tragedy - symphony x Blackwater park - opeth Slipknot - slipknot
Blackwater park has one of the coolest intro/main riffs, especially for still basically being in the key of e. Very original. Got stuck in my head the first time I heard it till I learned the riff just from memory of hearing it. Good stuff. But of course dream theater, Jon petrucci is no joke either.
Here's mine! 1. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus by Candlemass 2. Melissa by Mercyful Fate 3. Coma of Souls by Kreator 4. Those Once Loyal by Bolt Thrower 5. Rising by Rainbow 6. Mesmerize/Hypnotize by SOAD 7. Follow the Reaper by Children of Bodom 8. Human by Death 9. Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden 10. Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath I've listened countless times to all those albums. Honorable mentions: -Stained Class by Judas Priest -De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem -Ecliptica by Sonata Arctica -Heaven and Hell by Dio's Black Sabbath -Wolfheart by Moonspell
love how varied this list is! got some great suggestions to (re)listen to but I am 100% with you on Ghost Reveries and mid-era Opeth peaking. one of my top 5 for sure.
Great list Bradley! My top albums 5. Sylosis - Conclusion of an Age / Edge of the Earth 4. Machine Head - The Blackening 3. Trivium - Shogun 2. Judas Priest - Painkiller 1. Iron Maiden - Powerslave / Somewhere in Time
@@ElViejoYElViaje I love every single one of their albums. You should definitely listen to Conclusion Of An Age and Edge Of The Earth in their entirity. New album from them coming in 2022 btw
In no particular order, my favourites... Once ~Nightwish The Odyssey ~Symphony X Somewhere in Time ~Iron Maiden Heartwork ~Carcass Overkill ~Motorhead Rust in Peace ~Megadeath Scenes From a Memory ~Dream Theatre The Quantum Enigma ~Epica Painkiller ~Judas Preist Dragonslayer ~Dream Evil
wow, so unexpected to see Akercocke in this list, but great choice here is my top: 1. Opeth - Still Life 2. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet 3. Edge of Sanity - Crimson 4. Anathema - Alternative 4 5. Dream Theater - Awake 6. Ulver - Bergtatt 7. Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters 8. Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk 9. Katatonia - Brave Murder Day 10. Dissection - The Somberlain its funny, that 9 of them are from 1993-1999 and I was only born in 2001
Hell yeah dude, I have a Opeth tattoo, and it all started with Still Life. It is still my favorite Opeth album and I am certain I'm going to play the entire album at my wedding! Great list btw
1. Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper 2. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I 3. Opeth - Ghost Reveries 4. Wintersun - Time I 5. Gojira - From Mars to Sirius 6. TOOL - Fear Inoculum 7. Dream Theater - Train of Thought 8. Mägo de Oz - Finisterra 9. Persefone - Aathma 10. Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
I remember the first time I heard Megadeth, and it indeed was hangar 18. I was around 2002 and I was driving in my car, listening to the radio. The song came on and it immediately grabbed my attention. When the first silo started to come to an end I parked my car and just sat there listening. Chills went through my body as the song kept going on and on. When it was over, I knew I had to find out the name of the song, the band, and immediately buy this album.
Dance of Death might be my favorite Iron Maiden album too. I'm not the biggest Maiden fan (I'm more of a casual listener TBH) but there's something I really dig about it. It was the first album by them I heard in full, the melodies are really catchy, the long compositions are really well crafted and powerful ("Paschendale" is absolutely fantastic, is one of my favorite), performances and productions are really good. It has a bunch of tracks I don't like, but overall it's a great album. From the 80s, Somewhere In Time might be my favorite.
1. Blackwater park / damnation - opeth (I tried to keep it one album per band but I couldn't decide between those two) 2. Hybrid theory - Linkin park 3. Nightmare - avenged sevenfold 4. Malina - leprous 5. Holographic universe - scar symmetry 6. From Mars to Sirius - gojira 7. The mountain - Haken 8. P2 - periphery 9. Deadwing - Porcupine tree 10. Aenigma - in vain
Great top 10, there were definitely a few curveballs I didn't see coming! My top 10 would be something like: 10: Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? 9: Vektor - Terminal Redux 8: Pestilence - Consuming Impulse 7: Martyr - Feeding the Abscess 6: Sepultura - Arise 5: Anata - Under a Stone with No Inscription 4: Necrophagist - Epitaph 3: Decapitated - Nihility 2: Spawn of Possession - Noctambulant 1: Coroner - Mental Vortex
Some favourites of all time: Awake - Dream Theater Deconstruction - Devin Townsend Blackwater Park - Opeth City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold Dirt - Alice in Chains Catch 33 - Meshuggah The Blackening - Machine Head In Absentia - Porcupine Tree The New Reign - Born Of Osiris And fuck tons more, metal is lovely.
My top Metal Albums: 10 - Arch Enemy Will to Power 9 - Ozzy Osborne "Bark at the moon" 8 - Slayer "Riegn in Blood" 7 - Manowar "Louder than Hell" 6 - Black Sabbath "Heaven and Hell" 5 - Pantera "Vulgar Display of Power" 4 - Ария "Герой Асфальта" (Aria "Hero of the Asphalt") 3 - Metallica "Black album" 2 - Megadeth "Rust in Peace" 1 - Dio "Lock Up The Wolves"
Man that was so entertaining! Instant sub! Thanks for the video. Love how you mix in samples of what you were just taking about. I so agree with rust in peace. And scenes from a memory. Found some stuff I didn’t know about too.
I had Scenes From A Memory in my CD player in high school for 9 months straight. I still listen to Cacophony every week or so as well. Images, Black Cat, Concerto, Speed Metal Symphony, ESP, so many good tracks across both albums. Jason Becker and Marty as a duo playing off each other is something I don't know will ever happen again at that technical of a level.
Great picks! I gotta go with: Metallica - And Justice for All Mudvayne - End of All Things to Come Godsmack - Faceless Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn and Wrath Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip Mushroomhead - Xx Trivium - Shogun Meshuggah - Nothing and Obzen Everything here for me defines a sound or subgenre and pretty much sums up my musical influences lol
10 in no particular order, limited to 1 album per band. Many albums would fluctuate in and out but this morning, this is my 10. Scar Symmetry - Hollographic Universe Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Metallica - ...And Justice for All Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Missanthropia Mors Principium Est - The Unborn Bleed from Within - Fracture Andy Gillion - Neverafter Iron Maiden - Live after Death (Cheating I know) Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Oz
Great video! Here is my top 10 : 10. Abyss - Unleash the archers 9. We are not your kind - Slipknot 8. King of everything - Jinjer 7. Cowboys from hell - Pantera 6. Rust in peace - Megadeth 5. Death atlas - Cattle decapitation 4. Scenes from a memory - Dream theater 3. Anthems to the welkin at dusk - Emperor 2. From mars to sirius - Gojira 1. Ghost reveries - Opeth
I could almost list five albums at least from every artist here to be in my top 10, it changes about everyday. (1 per artist) 10: Slaughter of the Soul by At The Gates 9: Wishmaster by Nightwish 8: The Fall of Ideals by All That Remains 7: Shadows Are Security by As I Lay Dying 6: Wintersun self-titled 5: Tales from the Thousand Lakes by Amorphis 4: Subterranean by In Flames 3: The Sound of Perseverance by Death 2: Projector by Dark Tranquillity 1: Follow The Reaper by Children of Bodom
Mad respect for Odyssey and Speed Metal Symphony, never heard any other UA-camr talk about how awesome those albums are. Another really amazing album that I love is Jason Becker’s Perpetual Burn. Just an absolute masterclass in guitar playing.
Love how you putting respect on yngwie malmsteen and putting odyssey on this list. He’s my inspiration and has some of the best metal tunes I’ve heard.
My top 5 album is: 5. Opeth - Deliverence 4. Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake 3. Megadeth - Rust in Peace 2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All 1. Gojira - The Way of All Flesh (I tried to pick from different bands btw. Here are some honorable mentions: Metallica - Master of Puppets Gojira - Link Gojira - From Mars to Sirius Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?)
My top 10: 1- Opeth - Ghost Reveries 2- Between the Buried And Me - Colors 3- Dir en Grey - Dum Spiro Spero 4- Metallica - And Justice for All 5- Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth 6- Gojira - Terra Incognita 7- Slipknot - Iowa 8- Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve 9- Babymetal - Metal Galaxy (yes, not ironically. I love jpop too, so this one is the best of the two worlds). 10- Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flash
A really great video. I accidently got into metal about a year and a half ago. A rock band started getting good reviews and I watched their videos. The I saw a lot of "reaction to" videos and started watching those. I found some very good Reaction To channels by people with connection to music in one way or another. And metal is one of the mainstays of these channels. You have picked a nice variety of styles and given a clear reason on what these albums offer. Thank you, I have some new stuff to listen to. I subscribed, looking forward to exploring your content.
Opeth in one of the few bands I would understand if someone chose any of their albums as their favorite. All of them have their own tone and atmosphere, even if they all differ in quality.
Here we go, in no particulary order : - Dark Tranquility - The Gallery - Between the buried and me - Colors - Metallica - Master of Puppets - Children of bodom - Something Wild - The black dahlia murder - Nocturnal - Neuraxis - A Passage Into Forlorn - Cryptopsy - None so vile - In Flames - The Jester race - Manowar - Warriors of the world - System of a down - Toxicity
I had Asylon on mine, i'll have to check out "A Passage Into Forlorn". I was strongly considering adding an in flames album too (colony, clayman or the jester race).
It’s Really great to see someone talk very positive about A7X Self titled, it seems everyone goes with COE but The white album will always be my favorite. For a lot of reasons that you pointed out. but as well as being the Album that really got me into metal. If it wouldn’t had been for me sitting down and listening to it, I probably wouldn’t be into metal today.
Most people go with Nightmare, really. Especially Save Me. Love the album and song, but they're overrated imo. My fave used to be Avenged Sevenfold until I listened all the way through The Stage, and then I was completely enamoured with it henceforth.
Damn dude let me spill some praise. Where some guitar UA-camrs are too goofy or bland for my taste, you portray a wonderful mix of humour and information as well as talent. Like wtf you're incredibly skilled and inspiring whether it's an awesome cover of the whole rust in peace album (which is my all time favourite as well; can't fucking wait to perfectly nail lucratia, tornado of souls and hangar 18) and a great tribute to the wild child, delightfully amazing shorts or a fockin' 3 hour LotR epic. You're like the shredding big brother I never had and if I were to make it in any way as a guitarist, it would me jarring to have a collab with you. Keep it going man, I hope your channel and work in general keep on growing a humongous fanbase!
Dude, your feel for the metal, and how great the tunes feel matches mines so well, there were a number of al ums on here that I just couldn't stop playing as well, I'm a vocalist and piano player so this isn't so much what I play, but the metal runs deep in my veins, keep tearing it up brother!
Great picks Bradley! My Top 10: 1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace 2. Death - Symbolic 3. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell 4. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time 5. Judas Priest - Painkiller 6. Metallica - Ride The Lightning 7. Dream Theater - Images And Words 8. Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy 9. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains 10. Shadows Fall - The War Within
I'm not able to make a top 10 list, but some albums that'll be forever in my heart are: Nightfall in Middle-Earth (Blind Guardian), The Sound of Perseverance (Death), Unsung Heroes (Ensiferum), Hatebreeder (Children of Bodom), Blood on Ice (Bathory), Storm of the Light's Bane (Dissection), Land of the Free (Gamma Ray) and almost every Maiden and A7X album.
I was scrolling for a Shogun mention. Absolute lighting in a bottle stuff. I have to say, Heafys new project Ibaraki (Rashimon) is my album of the year and I’ve got a feeling I am going to think of it in the same way as Shogun a decade from now.
Totally agrees on Rust in Peace, such an amazing album. First song I heard from the album was Hangar 18 when I played guitar hero 2 way back. I fell in love with that song, I have always been a sucker for guitar solos so you can imagine. And when I got the whole album my mind was blown. I couldn’t believe how freaking good it was, It’s such a masterpiece!
@@someguy7424 "Technically" you are correct. I should have said "Post 1999" as to include Brave New World. I believe that most Iron Maiden fans would agree with you that Brave New World is a better album. This is what I've seen on UA-cam and read in Tier lists.. But I'm with Bradley on this one. Dance of Death just does it for me. I mean Pachendale and Montsequr are amazing!.. But my favorite songs are Gates of Tomorrow and my #1 song on the album is New Frontier.. I just love the energy and major chord progressions.. reminds me a lot of the Seventh Son album which I also loved.. Right after the first chorus in New Frontier, that whole vibe is exactly what I'm talking about.. the major chord progression with these lyrics.. "I want to end my life now but I don't know how, Recycled again, a lifetime of pain, The spawn of a man, The devil has planned" So kickass!! .. it's just happy and creepy at the same time.. gives me chills man!! :0)
Cool video, man! Tough task, but here's my take, in no particular order: Evergrey - Dark Discovery Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy Paradise Lost - Draconian Times Death - Sound of Perserverance Iron Maiden - Brave New World Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards Evergrey - In Search of Truth Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
My top 10 metal albums of all time: 1. Dream Theater - Metropolis pt2: Scenes from a Memory 2. Metallica - Master of Puppets 3. Gojira - From Mars to Sirius 4. Death - The Sound of Perseverance 5. Angra - Holy Land 6. Judas Priest - Painkiller 7. Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying 8. Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn 9. Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy 10. Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
It’s so hard to pick my favorite albums but I gotta say my favorite albums in no particular order are Avenged Sevenfold - self titled Slipknot - Iowa Tool - Ænima Metallica- …And Justice for All Bullet For My Valentine - Self Titled Rammstein - self titled Slaughter to Prevail - Kostolom LINKIN PARK - Hybrid Theory Crown the Empire - The Fallout Suicide Silence - The Cleansing Lotta self titled albums lol
@@mr.cancer7270 Tool is pretty soft to call metal, more post-grunge prog. Bullet for my valentine sort of has the aesthetic but not the substsnce Rammstein always seemed very straightforward to be more than hard rock but it's debatable. Linkin park is WAY too pop-oriented, imo, to be metal.
@@shawntrevordaniel bruh have you heard the bullet self titled it’s 100% metalcore and LINKIN PARK (at least the early stuff) is definitely nu metal. I guess I could Rammstein not being metal but I definitely would count Tool as metal
@@shawntrevordaniel gonna have to disagree and say all of those bands are metal, especially the bullet for my Valentine one. Metal doesn’t have to be the heaviest thing ever written to be considered metal lol
Some of my favorites (no order): -Moonglow by Avantasia -Imaginaerium by Nightwish -Brave New World by Iron Maiden -Ride the Lightning by Metallica -TNOBT by Iron Maiden -Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden -Conspiracy by The Raven Age
My top: 10- At the heart of winter (immortal) 9- Don’t break the oath (mercyful fate) 8- Agent orange (sodom) 7- Land of the free (gamma ray) 6- Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 (helloween) 5- The legacy (testament) 4- Painkiller (judas priest) 3- Schizophrenia (sepultura) 2- Ride the lightning (metallica) 1- Powerslave (iron maiden)
Helloween actually only had the best drummer and best guitar player out of any metal band. I think they have always been bizarrely underrated. I don't think there is any band that can play faster rhythm guitar.
Really fun list m8! I don’t necessarily agree but I loved your energy and reasoning! I do have to admit that Rust in Peace did have a huge impact on me as a guitarist in high school so I felt that big time
Somewhere in Time was first album where Iron Maiden got out of comfort zone... And still today my personal favorite album.(Although self titled is still the pure definition of NWOBHM)
The opening track slaps, and then goes straight into Wasted Years...what a way to start an album. Super crisp production throughout, maiden at their best.
Absolutely love that you hail Speed Metal Symphony here. Listened to it for the first time about 20 years ago and fell in love with the raw musical talent and power of it all.

You know you've done something right with your metal UA-cam channel when fans of prog metal, 90's black metal, and Avenged all have nothing but positive to say.
The real test is for him to throw a Limp Bizkit album in there
@@RastaganTheGreen Significant Other is a Masterpiece👌
@@RastaganTheGreen if he throws a Limp Bizkit album there, he will successfully manage to make black metal fans, prog metal fans and heavy metal fans agree on something for the first time in the history of ever, that Limp Bizkit shouldn't be there 😂😂
I love how its genre, genre and Avenged Sevenfold
Ranking Dance of Death as the best Iron Maiden album of all time is absolutely insane, and i respect the hell out of it
I avoided ever hearing that album (because of the cover) until about two weeks ago. What a fool I was. I've been playing it non-stop since then.
It’s not the best Iron Maiden album, but I’d rank “Age of Innocence” in their top 5 songs, and “Montsegur” in their top 15.
@@dinocarosi4303 Pues sí hay que ser muy tonto para no escuchar un album por su portada, y tener mal gusto ahora por no parar de escucharlo..
Mine is A Matter of Life and Death. Yeah, Im probably weird but fuck it
Well, it is a great album except for the cover
I was first fascinated by Metallica. I bought a guitar, learned a few riffs and just when I started to feel SORT OF confident I discovered Megadeth riffs. Back to 1st grade.
Thrash:

Opeth es la mejor banda del universo
Those three opeth albums are in my top ten too. Best band ever in my humble opinion
Rust In Peace is indeed the greatest metal album ever.. every song is mint..
Dave's voice makes me wanna force feed him bleach
vulgar display of power... hello?
*Abigail joins the chat*
@@DimePwnz not even close bro. Vulgar display isn’t even best pantera but even calling the best pantera better than rust in peace is insane
@@davidk05 that's a weird way to say "I'm delusional as fuck" but you know whatever you do you bro.
I’ve been a massive Metallica fan for years, but I will never argue with anyone who says Rust in Peace is the greatest metal album of all time…it’s an absolute masterpiece and I share Bradley’s opinion of Megadeth to the letter 🤘
10: Dream Theater- Train of Thought
9: Tool- Aenima
8: Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet
7: Gojira- L'Enfant Sauvage
6: Opeth- Ghost Reveries

Honorable mention:
Trivium- The Sin and the Sentence
The sin and the sentence my favorite trivium album, good choice
System of a Down is goated to me
@Dragon Ball fans can't read No I didn't. There's no Ghost album on here.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read Idk anything about that. I just like good music.
@Dragon Ball fans can't read wdym it’s a pretty solid list
Rust In Peace is my favorite album of all time, too. Others albums, in no-particular order are:
• The Sound of Perseverance - Death
• Ride The Lightning - Metallica
• Bonded By Blood - Exodus
• Persistence of Time - Anthrax
• Painkiller - Judas Priest
• Cowboys From Hell - Pantera
• Somewhere In Time - Iron Maiden

• Keeper of the Seven Keys (1 and 2) - Helloween
Bold choice with sabotage
The Sound of Perseverance* Amazing album
Awesome list!!
FINALLY someone who give Sabotage the credit it deserves! Definitely my favorite Ozzy era Sabbath album
@@MrTWINARMAGEDDON "Symptom of the Universe" sucks but I like the album as a whole. Megalomania is my favorite Sabbath track.
Gojira’s from Mars to Sirius is an absolute masterpiece of a concept album.
Master of Puppets is my #1. Not a single skippable track and everything on it just goes right. Another album I think worth mentioning is Sabaton's Carolus Rex. I know it's not the most complex thing ever, but the sheer amount of emotion and passion the band put into it and how fluently it tells its story makes it just a phenomenal listen every time
this
I honestly love "Kill 'em All", although, i like thrash
Master of puppets is insane but I prefer AJFA, if only Jason's bass was slightly hearable.
@@grokborketharek8165 Hot take: when I listen to AJFA, “I wish the bass was more hearable” is the last thing I think of.
@@Ballin4Vengeance the album or the song? Cause the song itself I think doesn't really matter but the album it does.
Avenge sevenfold album was so good that I listened to it on headphones while at a live concert of another artist back in 2008.
im not into avenged sevenlfold at all. i really dont know why, it just doesnt grow on me.
that said i must say i laughed the shit out of this comment ahahaha thank you even if it was not the intent
Dude this album is just hit,after hit, after hit, and has so much variety that’s it hasn’t lost any of it’s listenability after all this time
What a loser you are
I love A7X
@@christopherhowes987 It's definitely their most enjoyable. StST, I mean, it's cool, but it's ass compared to everything else they've made. Still better than a lot of metalcore I've heard though, so props there. Waking the Fallen...well, let's be totally honest, it's a timeless metalcore album and is up there with the greats like All That Remains' Fall of Ideals. Maybe not as widely loved/appealing, but it's up there. I love it. City of Evil was just insanity. Third album from a relatively new band, pulling off shit basically no other band could at the time. The absolute skill of everyone in CoE, top-notch (I mean Matt hit an F1 in one passage of Betrayed and an A5 in the backing of the intro to Beast and the Harlot. Burn it Down had insane drumming. M.I.A was guitar nerd paradise.) IMO their prime before The Stage, maybe just period. Self-Titled, super varied, has a song for anyone, nothing more that has to be said there. Nightmare, very emotional, amazing album, but not their best work MUSICALLY. However, it was an incredibly emotional hard-hitter and it certainly deserves points for that. Hail to the King, cool, still A7X, but not my favourite at all. And The Stage...oh boy. Basically if Dream Theater (in their prime) decided to stop being show-offs and actually wrote some consistent, sensical prog. Like Opeth's prime.
Hangar 18 is the song that got me into metal full time, the combination of Dave & Marty’s guitar work, the magical vocals from Dave in the song, and just the overall feeling you get from it
100% agree. Hangar 18 is my favorite Megadeth song hands down and a defining thrash/metal song for me.
@@tonywacholz6279 my favorite would be the conjuring
Hangar 18 got me into metal
But the conjuring ruined my neck for good back in April
My first concert ever back in April, and as soon as the drums kicked in after Obey
I let loose
Holy Wars for me. I already liked metal before, but it took exactly ONE listen of that intro for me to go "welp, guess I'm a full metalhead now".
Guitar hero? :p
Same
Marty Friedman is one of my all time faves. I actually got one of his picks from the cryptic writings tour. Shows how old I am.
I told the same to everyone. Rust in Peace is the best master piece ever created. I’m not a big fan of Megadeth, but this album is the foundation of all my guitar and music.
Avenged sevenfold self titled is magnificent, a little piece of heaven is like the hard rock equivalent of bohemian rhapsody imo
Replyreply
Agreeeeed
Well, I'd say Bohemian Rhapsody is actually hard rock if you ask me
@@MGdelOeste true in places tbf, but yea
@Call Me, BLEGH Me, If You Wanna Reach Me oh yea I get you
I'm a huge Ride the Lightning guy. It was what made me fall in love with the genre and I highly doubt I'll hear anything more magnificent in my entire life. Some of my other favourites would be Rust in Peace, Toxicity by SOAD and really anything by TOOL. They've never had a bad album.
Take a look to the sky just before you die IT'S AN ASS GRABBING WHALE
Yep, might be my favorite metal album ever, albeit I'm not a HUGE metal fan in terms of breadth of knowledge.
Dude definitely tool goes so hard Ænima goes hard
Good range there.
Same here... bought RTL in '85 when no one had really heard of them in the UK on the basis of hearing Creeping Death on the Tommy Vance show. I had to include it in my list because of how it blew me away! JFA might be my favourite, but for me it's hard to choose between those two and you can also chuck MOP into the mix.
I completely agree with Dance of Death - I loved it immediately and often go back to it. No More Lies and Paschendale are two of their best 'long' songs. Also on the 'out of the comfort zone' stuff, Face in the Sand is the only song where Nicko McBrain uses double-kick pedal (he said it's the hardest thing he's ever done).
Scenes from a Memory is indeed the best DT album :)
Don't forget the title track itself
I agree too
Maidens 00’s run was amazing. Brave New World, Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death, Final Frontier are all amazing. Like man it’s insane they stayed so good after 20 years
Montsegur is such a great song from Dance of Death. Incredibly underrated but it has to be one of my favorite metal songs of all time.
I really like it too. To me the chorus is really catchy.
So true!!
Montsegur, Paschendale and the title track are peak Maiden in my opinion
Wow, dance of death is a preety unusual pick. Great list beanley!!! Here's mine:
1- Megadeth - Rust In Peace (1990)
2- Artillery - By Inheritence (1990)
3- Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990)
4- Death - Leprosy (1988)
5- Megadeth - Youthanasia (1994)
Some other that I ADORE, in no order:
Annihilator - Alice In Hell (1989)
Metallica - Ride The Lightning (1984)
Slayer - Show No Mercy (1983)
Megadeth - Endgame (2009)
Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016)
Endgame is a classic
Artillery is a great band. Im proud that they are from my country
Nice, Vektor!
I was wondering where the true metal fans were, thankyou for mentioning a priest record
Megadeth has been my favorite band for decades, and I also consider Rust my favorite album of all time. Done and done.
I'm late to the party, but here's my top 10 metal albums:
1. Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
2. Opeth - Blackwater Park
3. Demilich - 20th Adversary of Emptiness
4. Cryptopsy - None So Vile
5. Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient
6. Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels
7. Gorguts - Obscura
8. Meshuggah - I
9. Ulcerate - Everything is Fire
10. Suffocation - Pierced From Within
unquestionable presence is an absolute masterpiece! atheist are so underrated
Such a based list, Atheist, Cryptopsy, Meshuggah, Gorguts...
My top ten would be something like this (it changes every week tho haha):
1- Opeth - Blackwater Still Ghost of the Damnation Hearse
2- Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear
3- Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
4- Megadeth - Rust in Peace
5- Agalloch - The Mantle
6- Between the Buried and Me - Colors
7- Death - Symbolic
8- Deafheaven - Sunbather
9- Unexpect - Fables of the Sleepless Empire
10- Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
Hahaha that's how I feel about Opeth too
Nice top 10 bro, we have like 3 in common 😁
Deafheaven niiiiiiice
Symbolic is a classic
@@bennybyers1409 symbolic is a perfect album I honestly don’t think any death album comes close
Not in a particular order, because that would take too long to decide honestly!
Metallica - ...And Justice for All
Agalloch - The Mantle
Carach Angren - Where the Corpses Sink Forver
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
Death - The Sound of Perseverance
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
Vektor - Black Future
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
First time I've seen someone mention Agalloch. The Mantle paired with SITA, Rust In Peace, and AJFA, completely valid list.
Vektor are awesome
Vektor are very underrated imo
Carach Angren 👌
Imagine what we’ve could’ve heard after The Sound of Perseverance
My favorite is Korn's self titled. I don't care if it's nu metal, it still sounds awesome. It's nice to know that whenever I'm pissed off, there are four guys from Bakersfield who feel the same way
In this period, my top 3 picks are :
• Bleed the future - by Archspire
• The Stage - by Avenged Sevenfold
• Meliora - by Ghost
The Stage is the effin’ best mate
The Stage is nuts. It's peak A7X in my opinion. It's so creative.
the stage is an amazing album
@@Tonjit41 yeah, it is one of the best a7x albums, its crazy how they are so consistent, they dont miss with their albums
All fans of Archspire should listen to First Fragment's new album Gloire Éternelle hehe, it came out the same day as Bleed The Future too
Let me tell you how Rust in Peace (the album) became my favorite metal album of all times. I discovered Megadeth in 2002 when I was 16. I am from Brazil and, as always, metal was not exactly popular down here. So, if we wanted to buy a CD from a metal band that was not Iron Maiden or Metallica (bands that were "popular enough" for the labels to decide to print their CDs in Brazil), for example, we had no choice but to acquire imported CDs, which would cost me all the money I had for a month. Thus, my friends and I used to first download the songs of a given band through softwares like Napster, Kazaa, Emule and only after we were 100% sure that a certain band was worthy, we would then spend our limited cash to buy that band's CD. Well, back in 2001/2002, when you searched for a given bands song in one of those softwares like Kazaa, you would get MP3 files named such as "Metallica - One", or "Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills", following the pattern "Band name - song name". Therefore, when I was "discovering" ("downloading" cough, cough) Megadeth I had a folder filled with individual songs in MP3 format like "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - She Wolf", with no information whatsover about from what album each song came from. The thing is that, from all the Megadeth songs I have downloaded, after one year I had my personal Top 5: "Megadeth - Holy Wars", "Megadeth - Hangar 18", "Megadeth - Take no Prisioners", "Megadeth - Lucretia", and "Megadeth - Tornado of Souls". I thought these songs were awesome, the guitar playing was out of this world (I never heard those scales and that riff creativity), and somehow had a magic element that other Megadeth songs did not have. I did not know all these songs where from the same album. To be honest, I only found out that these 5 songs were from the same album 2 or 3 years after I had establisedh my top 5 best Megadeth songs. What was my surprise at the end of 2004 when I found out that, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs were from the same album, but also there was one extra major song, which beared the same name of the album: "Rust in Peace". After I found out all these 5 songs belonged to the same album, Rust in Peace was already one of my favorite albums ever. I recall I that my expectations were very, very high when I finally got to listen "Megadeth - Rust in Peace" for the first time. After five minutes listening to that song, I was completely baffled that Megadeth had surprised me again: not only Rust in Peace was a great song, it was a thrash metal master piece, I had no choice but to turn my top 5 Megadeth songs a top 6. So, not only all my favorite Megadeth songs back then were from the same album, but this album was so damn good that it made me discover another thrash metal jewel "Rust in Peace... polaris". After discovering this last song, "Rust in Peace" became my favorite metal album of all time, and still is. Like a good wine, Rust in Peace is aging very well. If you google now "best metal album of all times", Rust in Peace will appear among the very best, where it belongs.
Great story Douglas!
Que história foda mano!
Caraio douglas fez um tcc kkkkkkkk, rust in peace é foda demais
Great story but isn't metal popular in Brazil? I always thought it was lol

My god, that Symphony X album is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for introducing them to me!
Among The Living by Anthrax is probably my number 1 metal album of all time, there is not a bad song on that album (in my opinion). It's also given me a massive amount of inspiration as a guitar player.
based
Mine is mainly concept albums:
1. Operation Mindcrime (Queensryche)
2. Scenes from a memory (DT)
3. Nightfall in Middle Earth (Blind Guardian)
4: Somewhere out in space (Gamma Ray)
5. Dead Winter Dead (Savatage)
6. Human / Nature (Nightwish)
7. Crimson Idol (WASP)
8. Odyssey (Yngwie)
9. Tyranny (Shadow Gallery)
10 Octavarium (DT)
Cannot upvote Nightfall in Middle Earth enough
Great list. But you are missing Kamelot Epica/Black Halo.
Operation Mindcrime is pure awesomeness!
Operation Mindcrime ftw!
My favs are:
Scenes from a memory - dream theater
The human equation - ayreon
The divine wings of tragedy - symphony x
Blackwater park - opeth
Slipknot - slipknot
Sick stuff!
Blackwater park has one of the coolest intro/main riffs, especially for still basically being in the key of e.
Very original. Got stuck in my head the first time I heard it till I learned the riff just from memory of hearing it.
Good stuff.
But of course dream theater, Jon petrucci is no joke either.
I should’ve put scenes from a memory
I like iowA better

Conclusion of an age is a masterpiece
The Blackening was definitely the best MH album!
Shogun is a drug
Nice to see Ulver mentioned. Bergtatt is an interesting album, but Nattens Madrigal is one of the most unique album I've ever heard. A must have.
So positively surprised seeing ulver on his list! Hell yes
@@BradleyHallGuitar It's part of the myth ;)

10. Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists
Yes someone else with Follow the Reaper as their favorite album! Though interestingly the rest of my list would be way different.
This list makes me believe that you're Brazilian.
Mago de Oz, that band need some love.
Fear Inoculum is easily the worst TOOL album, interesting that that’s the one you pick
@@cmslipknotfan13 Lateralus is considered their best album and it is the one I enjoyed the least, so I guess it all comes to preferences
Rust in peace was the album that got me into metal. Every tune is a masterpiece in its own right
I remember the first time I heard Megadeth, and it indeed was hangar 18. I was around 2002 and I was driving in my car, listening to the radio. The song came on and it immediately grabbed my attention. When the first silo started to come to an end I parked my car and just sat there listening. Chills went through my body as the song kept going on and on. When it was over, I knew I had to find out the name of the song, the band, and immediately buy this album.
Dance of Death might be my favorite Iron Maiden album too. I'm not the biggest Maiden fan (I'm more of a casual listener TBH) but there's something I really dig about it. It was the first album by them I heard in full, the melodies are really catchy, the long compositions are really well crafted and powerful ("Paschendale" is absolutely fantastic, is one of my favorite), performances and productions are really good. It has a bunch of tracks I don't like, but overall it's a great album. From the 80s, Somewhere In Time might be my favorite.
Iron Maiden and Dance of Death are the best albums, hands down
1. Blackwater park / damnation - opeth (I tried to keep it one album per band but I couldn't decide between those two)
2. Hybrid theory - Linkin park
3. Nightmare - avenged sevenfold
4. Malina - leprous
5. Holographic universe - scar symmetry
6. From Mars to Sirius - gojira
7. The mountain - Haken
8. P2 - periphery
9. Deadwing - Porcupine tree
10. Aenigma - in vain
Wonderful choices
Love me some Periphery II
I've been listening to damnation non-stop recently
+1 for P2
Nightmare is so good omg
That Symphony X album is insane indeed
Great top 10, there were definitely a few curveballs I didn't see coming! My top 10 would be something like:
10: Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
9: Vektor - Terminal Redux
8: Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
7: Martyr - Feeding the Abscess
6: Sepultura - Arise
5: Anata - Under a Stone with No Inscription
4: Necrophagist - Epitaph
3: Decapitated - Nihility
2: Spawn of Possession - Noctambulant
1: Coroner - Mental Vortex
Some favourites of all time:
Awake - Dream Theater
Deconstruction - Devin Townsend
Blackwater Park - Opeth
City of Evil - Avenged Sevenfold
Dirt - Alice in Chains
Catch 33 - Meshuggah
The Blackening - Machine Head
In Absentia - Porcupine Tree

@@user-cv8qe9ru8c nothing wrong with radio friendly metal
Man that was so entertaining! Instant sub! Thanks for the video. Love how you mix in samples of what you were just taking about. I so agree with rust in peace. And scenes from a memory. Found some stuff I didn’t know about too.
I had Scenes From A Memory in my CD player in high school for 9 months straight. I still listen to Cacophony every week or so as well. Images, Black Cat, Concerto, Speed Metal Symphony, ESP, so many good tracks across both albums. Jason Becker and Marty as a duo playing off each other is something I don't know will ever happen again at that technical of a level.
This video is about to piss off so many people 😂😂😂😂
Great picks! I gotta go with:
Metallica - And Justice for All
Mudvayne - End of All Things to Come
Godsmack - Faceless
Lamb of God - As the Palaces Burn and Wrath
Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip
Mushroomhead - Xx
Trivium - Shogun
Meshuggah - Nothing and Obzen
Everything here for me defines a sound or subgenre and pretty much sums up my musical influences lol
AJFA and Mudvayne?respect
Mushroomhead 🤟🤟🤟
Faceless is a great album!

Fall of ideals - great pick! Love this album. But almost everything they've done after it is beyond crap.
I'm almost 37... Lassi.. I guess you're close in age.. great list.
I LOVE YOU DUDE, this In flames lp is one of the best metal ever made.
Once
Really good choices
Mad respect for Odyssey and Speed Metal Symphony, never heard any other UA-camr talk about how awesome those albums are. Another really amazing album that I love is Jason Becker’s Perpetual Burn. Just an absolute masterclass in guitar playing.
Love how you putting respect on yngwie malmsteen and putting odyssey on this list. He’s my inspiration and has some of the best metal tunes I’ve heard.
My top 5 album is:
5. Opeth - Deliverence
4. Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake
3. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
2. Metallica - ...And Justice For All

(I tried to pick from different bands btw. Here are some honorable mentions:
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Gojira - Link
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?)
AJFA would be number 1 if it wasn't ass and the songs were structured better.

3- Dir en Grey - Dum Spiro Spero
4- Metallica - And Justice for All
5- Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
6- Gojira - Terra Incognita

10- Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flash
Shout out to blind guardian \m/
so glad to see Diru, even more so as high as 3. Amazing album too
Colors is my favorite.
A really great video. I accidently got into metal about a year and a half ago. A rock band started getting good reviews and I watched their videos. The I saw a lot of "reaction to" videos and started watching those. I found some very good Reaction To channels by people with connection to music in one way or another. And metal is one of the mainstays of these channels. You have picked a nice variety of styles and given a clear reason on what these albums offer. Thank you, I have some new stuff to listen to. I subscribed, looking forward to exploring your content.
amazing video mate!! great job!
Wrong wrong wrong if they differ from my opinion they are the objectively wrong choice. Lol good picks bro
Nice to see Dance of Death on there. Definitely the most underrated of their post 2000s album imo. Even if the album cover is a bit iffy 😅
Yngwie's early albums have some awesome capital s Songs on them, his second album Marching Out is one of my favorites. So many great hooks and riffs.
Rust in peace is how I learned back in 91
Opeth in one of the few bands I would understand if someone chose any of their albums as their favorite. All of them have their own tone and atmosphere, even if they all differ in quality.
So true, i can t decide which i prefer...so i just don t choose😂
Its amazing to get same vibes and emotions in Orchid and In Cauda Venenum even they are diffrent genres
Same. I first thought Watershed then realised all the others are so good too
Here we go, in no particulary order :
- Dark Tranquility - The Gallery
- Between the buried and me - Colors
- Metallica - Master of Puppets
- Children of bodom - Something Wild
- The black dahlia murder - Nocturnal
- Neuraxis - A Passage Into Forlorn
- Cryptopsy - None so vile
- In Flames - The Jester race
- Manowar - Warriors of the world
- System of a down - Toxicity
Jester Race 🙌 yess mate and Toxicity makes my top 10 too
JESTER RACE!!!!!
@@johanschilt1086 so underrated
I had Asylon on mine, i'll have to check out "A Passage Into Forlorn". I was strongly considering adding an in flames album too (colony, clayman or the jester race).
Excellent shouts on None So Vile and The Gallery
Awesome insight cheers Bradley, this is a lot of fun to watch
I love Dance of Death! The first Maiden album that turned me onto the band in Middle School. Thanks for giving it some props it deserves.
It’s Really great to see someone talk very positive about A7X Self titled, it seems everyone goes with COE but The white album will always be my favorite. For a lot of reasons that you pointed out. but as well as being the Album that really got me into metal. If it wouldn’t had been for me sitting down and listening to it, I probably wouldn’t be into metal today.
Self titled and Nighmare are my favorite from them..
Most people go with Nightmare, really. Especially Save Me. Love the album and song, but they're overrated imo. My fave used to be Avenged Sevenfold until I listened all the way through The Stage, and then I was completely enamoured with it henceforth.
I really love all their album. So, for me personally its really hard to choose
I was going to comment that!
Damn dude let me spill some praise. Where some guitar UA-camrs are too goofy or bland for my taste, you portray a wonderful mix of humour and information as well as talent. Like wtf you're incredibly skilled and inspiring whether it's an awesome cover of the whole rust in peace album (which is my all time favourite as well; can't fucking wait to perfectly nail lucratia, tornado of souls and hangar 18) and a great tribute to the wild child, delightfully amazing shorts or a fockin' 3 hour LotR epic. You're like the shredding big brother I never had and if I were to make it in any way as a guitarist, it would me jarring to have a collab with you. Keep it going man, I hope your channel and work in general keep on growing a humongous fanbase!
Dude, your feel for the metal, and how great the tunes feel matches mines so well, there were a number of al ums on here that I just couldn't stop playing as well, I'm a vocalist and piano player so this isn't so much what I play, but the metal runs deep in my veins, keep tearing it up brother!
I’m so glad someone else appreciates Dance of Death, criminally underrated album.
Great picks Bradley! My Top 10:
1. Megadeth - Rust In Peace
2. Death - Symbolic
3. Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
4. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
5. Judas Priest - Painkiller
6. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
7. Dream Theater - Images And Words
8. Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
9. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
10. Shadows Fall - The War Within
Spot on
Nice list bro!! Let's add, Carcass and Entombed Wolverine Blues.
The Gallery - Dark Tranquillity
Thunder and Lightning - Thin Lizzy
Undoing Ruin - Darkest Hour
Screaming for Vengeance - Judas Priest
Undoing Ruin is in my top 10 too
@@dustblowingman Heck yeah, dude!
No list of greatest albums are complete without at least 1 Dark Tranquillity album :)
Thin Lizzy oh yeah
0:03 "General Kenobi"
I really appreciated the fact that you included Malmsteen's "Odyssey" here as well.
I'm not able to make a top 10 list, but some albums that'll be forever in my heart are: Nightfall in Middle-Earth (Blind Guardian), The Sound of Perseverance (Death), Unsung Heroes (Ensiferum), Hatebreeder (Children of Bodom), Blood on Ice (Bathory), Storm of the Light's Bane (Dissection), Land of the Free (Gamma Ray) and almost every Maiden and A7X album.
I would love to see your favourite albums in general not just metal. Awesome vid man
Seconded
Now this is a list I can get behind! :D Great choices here!
Trivium's Shogun is my all time favorite metal album. The stars aligned on that one and it checks all the boxes for me. Not a bad song on the album.
I was scrolling for a Shogun mention. Absolute lighting in a bottle stuff.
I have to say, Heafys new project Ibaraki (Rashimon) is my album of the year and I’ve got a feeling I am going to think of it in the same way as Shogun a decade from now.
@@jayd3039 I'll have to check it out, thanks for the heads up! Yeah man, Shogun is just pure magic, Lightning in a bottle indeed.
shogun is a perfect album, should be more appreciated
Malmsteens Odyssey was the first album I ever bought
Totally agrees on Rust in Peace, such an amazing album. First song I heard from the album was Hangar 18 when I played guitar hero 2 way back. I fell in love with that song, I have always been a sucker for guitar solos so you can imagine. And when I got the whole album my mind was blown. I couldn’t believe how freaking good it was, It’s such a masterpiece!
SO pumped about your IRON MAIDEN Dance of Death pick! I too love this album and think it's the best of their post 2000 albums!
How technical are you being with that? Brave New World wasn’t POST 2000, it was 2000, and I would rank that above Dance of Death.
@@someguy7424 "Technically" you are correct. I should have said "Post 1999" as to include Brave New World. I believe that most Iron Maiden fans would agree with you that Brave New World is a better album. This is what I've seen on UA-cam and read in Tier lists.. But I'm with Bradley on this one. Dance of Death just does it for me. I mean Pachendale and Montsequr are amazing!.. But my favorite songs are Gates of Tomorrow and my #1 song on the album is New Frontier.. I just love the energy and major chord progressions.. reminds me a lot of the Seventh Son album which I also loved.. Right after the first chorus in New Frontier, that whole vibe is exactly what I'm talking about.. the major chord progression with these lyrics.. "I want to end my life now but I don't know how, Recycled again, a lifetime of pain, The spawn of a man, The devil has planned" So kickass!! .. it's just happy and creepy at the same time.. gives me chills man!! :0)
Completely agree. Their last genuinely good album.
Cool video, man! Tough task, but here's my take, in no particular order:
Evergrey - Dark Discovery
Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy
Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Death - Sound of Perserverance
Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
Evergrey - In Search of Truth
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
My top 10 metal albums of all time:
1. Dream Theater - Metropolis pt2: Scenes from a Memory
2. Metallica - Master of Puppets
3. Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
4. Death - The Sound of Perseverance
5. Angra - Holy Land
6. Judas Priest - Painkiller
7. Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying
8. Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
9. Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy
10. Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
fart
Nice with a list that includes Peace Sells over Rust in Peace. My last words on Peace cells is my favorite
Jason B )
Where Maiden 🔫
Holy land, nothing to say.
It’s so hard to pick my favorite albums
but I gotta say my favorite albums in no particular order are
Avenged Sevenfold - self titled
Slipknot - Iowa
Tool - Ænima
Metallica- …And Justice for All
Bullet For My Valentine - Self Titled
Rammstein - self titled
Slaughter to Prevail - Kostolom
LINKIN PARK - Hybrid Theory
Crown the Empire - The Fallout
Suicide Silence - The Cleansing
Lotta self titled albums lol
Not sure if a couple of those count as metal tbh
@@shawntrevordaniel which ones?
@@mr.cancer7270 Tool is pretty soft to call metal, more post-grunge prog. Bullet for my valentine sort of has the aesthetic but not the substsnce
Rammstein always seemed very straightforward to be more than hard rock but it's debatable. Linkin park is WAY too pop-oriented, imo, to be metal.
@@shawntrevordaniel bruh have you heard the bullet self titled it’s 100% metalcore and LINKIN PARK (at least the early stuff) is definitely nu metal. I guess I could Rammstein not being metal but I definitely would count Tool as metal
@@shawntrevordaniel gonna have to disagree and say all of those bands are metal, especially the bullet for my Valentine one. Metal doesn’t have to be the heaviest thing ever written to be considered metal lol
Ive been wanting to expand my metal artists, this video helps a lot thanks
This is an awesome top 10 list! Rock on Bro🎸
Some of my favorites (no order):
-Moonglow by Avantasia
-Imaginaerium by Nightwish
-Brave New World by Iron Maiden
-Ride the Lightning by Metallica
-TNOBT by Iron Maiden
-Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden
-Conspiracy by The Raven Age
My top:
10- At the heart of winter (immortal)
9- Don’t break the oath (mercyful fate)
8- Agent orange (sodom)
7- Land of the free (gamma ray)
6- Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 (helloween)
5- The legacy (testament)
4- Painkiller (judas priest)
3- Schizophrenia (sepultura)
2- Ride the lightning (metallica)
1- Powerslave (iron maiden)
damn right At the heart of winter is also in my top 10.
Helloween actually only had the best drummer and best guitar player out of any metal band. I think they have always been bizarrely underrated. I don't think there is any band that can play faster rhythm guitar.
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 but not Part 2?
Don't break the oath over Melissa? Both are amazing so either way lol
@@justdev8965 no they didnt, im a huge helloween fan but cmon there are way too many bands with better drummers and guitar players
Really fun list m8! I don’t necessarily agree but I loved your energy and reasoning! I do have to admit that Rust in Peace did have a huge impact on me as a guitarist in high school so I felt that big time
great picks dude!!
Somewhere in Time was first album where Iron Maiden got out of comfort zone... And still today my personal favorite album.(Although self titled is still the pure definition of NWOBHM)
The opening track slaps, and then goes straight into Wasted Years...what a way to start an album. Super crisp production throughout, maiden at their best.
Amazing list my guy! Cacophony changed my life!
You’re here?! What’s up dude?!
Absolutely love that you hail Speed Metal Symphony here. Listened to it for the first time about 20 years ago and fell in love with the raw musical talent and power of it all.
The second, third and fourth A7X albums were my first favorite metal album as a whole when I was first starting to learn scales and modes.
