I was wondering, there's the Big 4 of U.S. Thrash Metal, so what would be the U.K. equivalent?
My first thought is Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead and Saxon. But some of these emerged much earlier than others and the Thrash Big 4, so what other bands emerged a bit later (80's as opposed to 70's) that could be considered part of the Big 4 of British Heavy Metal?
Maybe we can make a definitive MetalStorm decision? 
*Sorry if something like this has been posted before, it probably has, but I tried the search function and couldn't find anything.

And there is no way that black sabbath are heavy metal
their first album was doom metal but all the rest were rock n roll
Hahahahah Hahahah Ha ! HAHA ! OH OH OH !! HE HE HE ! HZHAHAHAHAHAHAH
you can't be serious can you ? or maybe you are serious and I'm just being mean, am I ?
Maybe I don't care cos all im saying right now is a bunch of nonsense, just like you did earlier. LOL

Exactly. Those 4 had the biggest impact on heavy metal of any British band.

...Diamond Head
Nothing big about them AT ALL. They never sold out large venues and still don't manage to sell out anything. Their only claim to fame is that they are a huge influence on Metallica.

That and the fact that Lightning To The Nations was a good album 
But really... Its, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and (if excluding Sabbath) Motorhead.... venom would probably come after and then Raven or Angel Witch

1. Iron Maiden
2. Black Sabbath
3. Judas Priest
4. Motorhead
In the sense of how big they are/were no other band comes close really, maybe Saxon but that's it.

If The Big 4 counts after album sales, the list would look like this I guess (considering you think of Led Zep and Def Leppard as Heavy Metal):
Led Zeppelin
Iron Maiden
Def Leppard
Black Sabbath
My personal list would be:
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest
Motörhead
...considering they've all had a huge influence and are still active, making albums and out on tours.

The thread is called "The BIG 4 of British heavy Metal" just like there is the big four of thrash which consists of the the at the time BIGGESDT thrash bands, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax. Saying Havok should be part of that is as ludicrous as saying Raven and Angel Witch are amongst the biggest 4 english heavy metal bands.

You aren't pissing anyone off, it's just the constant stream of excrement that comes out of your mouth makes you sound ridiculous in almost every thread you post in.

uh talking about heavy metal if we exclude sabbath, then I already stated venom and the other four.... which is bigger tell me oh and btw I didn't said they were part of this fake big 4, i said they would come after venom, which is after the first 4 I stated, at least learn to read Marcel.

You are not being mean, you are being stupid!
There is nothing funny in opinion of that guy. I think that sabbath before DIO is a pure Hard Rock. There is nothing that can reliete then to Heavy Metal (In season with Ozzy)
Only thing you should laugh is now is my-band-English, but I think you understand what I tryed to say...

No matter what you're trying to say my poor fellow, Saying that black sabbath is not heavy metal, is not an opinion its denying facts -_- its like saying, I don't think the earth circles around the sun, that is not an opinion... Facts is, the earth circles around the sun and guess what ? Black Sabbath is Heavy Metal -_-
