Omg finally found a video from watchmojo that has Halestorm n Lzzy Hale they should be in more lists
PARKWAY DRIVE?
nice to see A7X on here buuuuuuut Nightmare the song was not really a tribute to the Rev, So Far Away was the big tribute song, though the whole Nightmare album was dedicated to the Rev when he died (the tombstone on the album cover reads "FoREVer")
if you mean defining songs, you should've included king of amarillo by issues and/or take one last breath by abandon all ships…
Glad to hear that bands Megadeth and Anthrax made the list, the rest of them (except maybe Halestorm and Kylesa) are all shit.
I've gone through multiple phases of liking pretty much all of these bands and I've gotta say that Telos embarrassingly outclasses all of these songs. Every track on Parallax II Easily has the potential to be on this list
AAAA7777XXXX!!!
fuck BMTH
i'm at 0:29 and i call that Httk will be in this list
Is it just me or does Dave Mustaine look more and more like Angus Young as the years pass?
wow looks like hard rock and heavy metal really started to suck since 2010 🙂
The lists are far from heavy, they should be categorized thrash metal.
I rather pick GWAR, Kreator, Rigor Mortis, Testament, Exodus, Suicidal Tendencies, Prong, Leeway, Metal Church and my favorite lady headbangers Cycle Sluts from Hell.
I find your lack of Sabaton's Carolus Rex disturbing.
I'm glad Avenged Sevenfold have such a huge fanbase, they are clearly more technical and experimental than a lot of other mainstream metalcore bands, almost prog even
It's fun that Machine Head appeared in the intro and it wasn't even mentioned in the actual video
Slipknot – The Devil In I?
Metal for life!!!!
There's no melodeath or power metal or folk metal on this list! It's all metalcorey type music and bad thrash, not at all what most metalheads like. This is more like "Top 10 Decade Defining Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs for Non-Metalheads: 2010-14." Disappointed. Where's Amon Amarth, Skalmold, Sabaton, or Thy Art is Murder??!!
I knew nightmare was going to be number 1 !
Hail A7x
Woo! Nightmare.
I'd say (not in order)
Whitechapel- the saw is the law
Code orange- my world
Metallica- hardwired
Emmure- demons with ryu
Volbeat- a warriors call
Five finger death punch- under and over it
NAILS- you will never be one of us
Slipknot- devil and I
Slayer- repentless
Periphery- Icarus lives
fUCK yES
No chevelle? God all these bands are so generic…..
…except Gojira…good choice
self vs self???? come on seriously! you even managed to miss sleepwalker from pwd.. how???
