I can see how one prefers Ozzy's voice to Dio, but in no way he has more dynamics. Ozzy had his high-pitched twang, a very characteristic nosey/twangy voice which is instantly recognizeable, but he basically uses the same tone of voice for most of the songs, be it ballads or heavy rockers. He had a nice tone, period. Dio had many different aspects to his voice, apart from his signature hyper compressed sound (Rainbow in the Dark) , he could be soft both on highs and lows (intro to We're Stars), could be devilish (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell live version), do high-pitched screams... listen to one line of any Dio song, break it down and you will hear how he sings each word, each syllable sometimes, differently to get the message across. And he did it without ever straining, unlike Ozzy.

About Anthrax: Many boyos forgett the Big 4 of Thrash is not a thing that evolves over time and periodically changues accordingly to wich bands are on the top of the subgenre at the time. As a matter of fact "Thrash" was barely a thing when this guys made it big. Is But meerly the name given to the bands that brought thrash Metal to the masses in the early 80's, been 86 the year in wich the nickname was widespread and Anthrax was there. So, actually goes back to 1983 when a broke band tripped from SF to NY to record their first studio album, patroned by Jon Zazula the band where covered in the studio spenses, but otherwise had no money and barely a place to stay. Said band, on top of that, fired their lead guitar player and had a mew one flying to the city to replace it. There, the Anthrax lads had compasion of the boys, offered them food and beer for as long as they had to stay in NY, wich end up been about 15 days, when they finished their album. Now, for those who live under a rock and have not guessed wich band it was, (drum rolls) it was METALLICA (for surprise of nobody) and yes that album was Kill'em all. Metallica, forever grateful with the Anthrax lads promosed them to take the on tour with them... Amd so they did, Anthrax tripped as Metallica's openning act for KEA (Part of Kill em all for one tour too, with Raven) and that gave Anthrax and the NY thrash scene a rather big boost wich lead to Anthrax signing up with megafore and eventually releasing Metal thrashing mad and Spreading the desiase to the masses, wich where about as good as Thrash was (not counting Metallica), furthermore, Anthrax Pionnered thrash to the masses in MTV releasing the video for "madhouse" in 1986, before even Megadeth's PSBWIB videos and therefore Anthrax made a pretty big name for themselves. And that was not all. Metallica came back into scene that 86' and took Anthrax on tour with them in the american leg they did with OZZY, so Anthrax only kept growing. As a matter of fact, when Among the living was released in 87', Anthrax was solidly place in the big four. So, no, people can cry as much as they want, but Anthrax will never leave that group cause a) can't be moved; b) they earned it; c) As Brad said, you really think there is a bigger thrash band than Anthrax?

Alright, here are some of my takes. Limp Bizkit: They aren't one of my favourite bands, but I like some of their songs, some because they just have a nostalgic effect on me and others because I actually think are good (like "Down Another Day" or "Build a Bridge"). Judas Priest: I'm not really into their 70s stuff and I certainly enjoy their 80s songs a lot more, but I don't think early Priest were bad at all. It's a different time, therefore a different sound. Pantera: My favourite Pantera album is "Power Metal," basically the bridge between Glamtera and their 90s sound (although generally seen as part of the Glamtera era). There are lots of good songs there, including "Hard Ride," "Proud to Be Loud" and "Down Below" (I also like Terry Glaze's original 1985 version). They also have some good songs in their earlier albums with Terry Glaze, but I reckon they weren't as good as the main glam bands of the time. But overall I like Glamtera. I also enjoy their 90s sound.

Dave could write pop jingles for commercials and I mean that as a complement his songwriting grew more than his contemporaries in my opinion the same guy who wrote Mechanix wrote She Wolf , Mechanix is a cool song but I think Dave’s lyrics are kinda cringe on it , but it’s a fun song especially if you’re into Megadeth but She Wolf has always really impressed me with how familiar it sounded the first time I heard it and the ear worm chorus. So I guess my Hot Take is She Wolf is a better song than Mechanix lol.

Ya they were definitely one of if not arguably THE biggest thing in death metal at the time tbh. I think the some of the confusion about Death and their importance really just comes down to the vocals. People typically think of gutturals when you say death metal, where as Chuck was more of a screamer. So for a lot of people they occupy this weird space between death and thrash and people aren’t sure what to label them as. Admittedly I was confused about this as well for a long time before I really started getting into them. I thought they were just a heavy metal band that happened to be called Death, as I imagine many probably did. It wasn’t until later on that I began to realize that those guys were, in many ways kind of the OGs of death metal, which started as just an extreme form of thrash basically, and I began to appreciate them more and more

"Sabaton are underrated" They are the biggest Euro power metal group in the world and nobody else is even close. Dead serious, ask any other band member in that scene and they will tell you the same thing.

[@matikliao]

I think the first 3 glamtera albums are decent, but the power metal is very good. Dime was looking for a lot more shred at that time, and the truth is, although it is not the pantera that we know (since they did not have such marked styles at that time compared to post cfh) I don't know why pantera wanted to erase it from its history.

[@ytcomment4242]

Something I learned quickly researching the Big 4 issue: reliable album sales data is really hard to come by for an apples-to-apples comparison. I keep seeing Anthrax has sold 10 million - not bad I guess but lower than I expected - but that's from 1991 to 2004 for some reason? For a band whose biggest sales might have been in the 80s? Then Megadeth has sold 12 or 50 million, Slayer is 20 million or 32 million, Iron Maiden is - wait, 7 million? That can't be right. So yeah, does anyone know where to find actual reliable numbers, where we can compare their entire sales history, and US or worldwide? I'd have loved to be able to answer "Anthrax is in the big 4 because they've sold in the same ballpark as Slayer or Megadeth and twice as much as Exodus or Testament" but that data is sketchy. I'm looking at their discographies and peak chart positions, and through the 80s Anthrax and Megadeth albums peaked at similar positions, Metallica was slightly higher until And Justice For All got all the way to #6, and Slayer had lower peaks than any of them at the time.

[@adamvanderriet9669]

Those numbers are nowhere near realistic. Take Megadeth for example, they've only had 3 albums legitimately go platinum / sell more than a million copies, with Countdown selling a little over 2 million. That's 4 million sales for their 3 biggest albums by far. And with most of their catalogue not even cracking gold, there's no way they've sold more than 10 million albums combined. As for Slayer, they've never come anywhere near a platinum album, but they spent twenty years squeaking gold, so they're probably somewhere between 6-8 million tops. Anthrax had 1 platinum album and a couple of golds too, but they're probably a little over 5 million overall at best, but at least still in the millions. And as for Iron Maiden, they've had numerous platinum albums and many golds, they've sold more than Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax combined. Not as many as Metallica though, not even close! Metallica dwarfs them all significantly!🤘

[@Gookrak]

I was listening to Death in 1990 when you were probably a young boy / kid, and it was already considered to be a well-established, "big" band even in the backwaterish, small post-commie country I grew up in. So while I agree they are probably not the best technically/songwriting-wise, I'd say the "hype" is not new, maybe it's a re-hype. (I like them, especially the older albums, before the lynch mob starts to search for me...)

[@johnhavardvalebrokk6151]

With Pantera's Glam stuff, I'd actually reccomend their "I am the night" album with Terry Glaze on it. That album is just incredible. Songs like Valhalla, Hot and Heavy, Forever Tonight, it's great.

Limp Bizkit are a good band. What's a good band? Technically proficient? If so, most non-Prog metal is bad...but that's not true. Music is subjective, enjoyable = good, so Limp Bizkit are. Anthrax are big 4. Pre-British Steel JP is OK... Corey Taylor is the best metal vocalist of Slipknot. Ever? No, no, no. Top 10? I won't argue with him being debated for a position on that list, although he's top 50 for me. Glamtera? Ironically yes, otherwise no. This video was less controversial than I hoped, to be honest, I agree with a very large percentage of what was said. I was waiting for "Hetfield can't play downstrokes" or "Marty sucks" to kick things off a little. Also Death, yeah. I've never actually listened to them though. Might become my favourite band, I'll find out eventually.
