I don’t think Final Countdown should really be on this list, but maybe Europe is kinda classified as “hair metal/glam” and the song is certainly an anthem. I think Paradise City is a true banger, but GNR isn’t metal. They’re hard rock, and should Watch Mojo make a list of Hard Rock anthems, I’d say GNR would definitely qualify 😊

And that leaves out Green Day (maybe just hard rock, but as heavy as Ratt), Korn, Linkin Park, Rage Against The Machine, Tool, and one of the best 90's metal songs of all time ... NIN "Closer".

[@kriscynical]

I live in the DFW Metroplex, and Pantera lives one street over from me in an old farm house complete with porch swing. They used to have inflatable monster hands coming over the top of the roof, but they got shredded in a hail storm several years ago. When Dimebag died, the yard was such an OCEAN of flower bouquets from fans that you couldn't get anywhere near the front door. You'd never be able to tell a band that big lives there, either. It looks like a normal house, and the only marker that makes it even slightly different is the fact there's a small sign outside of the gate to their driveway that politely asks fans to respect their privacy, which all the locals do. My ex-BIL actually went to high school with them and has one of their demo discs from before they were signed, and it's autographed by all of them. Then about 20 years later, Pentatonix came from the same damn high school while my niece was a student there.

Can you guys do a list for Top 20 best international heavy metal bands cause there is so many good bands that should have made this list I wouldn’t have added Europe or Twisted sister too this list there are so many good artist you could have added such as AC/DC, Slipknot, Rammstein, Disturbed, Korn etc cause they had so many good defining songs that got our fist pumping but overall good list just some aren’t heavy metal
