What I mean with the topic is is there a metal band that are above every other metal band out there
If you think you know the answer describe why you think this band are the #1 band...and please don't take an underground band that only you and three other knows about.
I want serious answers why you think the band is on top of the metal mountain, is it because of their music, fan size, live shows, record sale, popularity, legacy etc

Those are some good choices. But even these bands have flaws. Every band has its flaws, some just have more then others. I couldn't even give you a top 3. Why? Because their are too many great bands to just settle on 3.

Flaws? ohh you mean like turbolover for JP, the whole 90's for IM except for fear of the dark and every album since ...and justice for all for metallica?

No single band can have the best of everything. No one can have the best group of musicians, the best singer, the best songwriting, and be the most influential. That is what I mean by flaws.

Everyband has their flaws, and none are the best, i personally prefer early metallica to anything anyother band has produced, but theyre new stuff has stuffed that up, so dunno what to do..

Ok I didn't mean a band that is best of the best in everything... But a band that you think got just that little extra when it comes to songwriting, stagepresent, fan base etc

Well "supergroups/bands" (or whatever they are called) usually don't make great songs either so by having the best of the best isn't that great anyway

If I had to decide between them I would chose Iron Maiden.. Let me put it this way, Iron Maiden is my favorite band, next comes Slayer..

Sure man, no worries.

But seriously. The world has as many greatest metal bands as many metal fans exist. Not sure if this sentence makes sense gramatically...

Sure man, no worries it senselizes very grammatically (I always understand english text )

What I mean is I wonder why people choose their greatest metal band, I believe somewhat each metalhead always has one. The reason of their choice or their greatest level of taste, e.g Iron Maiden, veteran big shot in the metal scene, or Slayer most thrashy maddeness,...so at least you can understand more the good element elaborated by the indivdual choice or taste, then you can be converted to be some certain bands...

Which album of Ozzy can be consider best, as not too much fast or high emotion ? I heard of Prince of Darkness once when seeing him on MTV...

Not really. The only NS thing about them is the logo (and it's kinda vague, as most people haven't seen much beyond swastika and iron cross) and one of the songs on Asgardsrei.
The whole thing's greatly exaggerated.

It's about werewolf-related themes. It also mentions Zyklon-B gas.

Best.. I wouldn't know, but there is certainly one band that stood up since the beginning, probably the most accomplished, flavoured and acclaimed in the metal scene and that would obviously be Iron Maiden. They got such a big discography and almost every album is good... I mean the first 9 albums, you can't really say that there was a bad one among those. They explored alot of styles they even did concept albums. They survived the change of vocals twice and came back stronger. They might be old now but fuck they kick ass.

And no im not saying that because its my favorite band (it is not) but mostly because of their influence and career.

Absolutely not, best is a subjective term to most, and even the most skilled techy band have metal fans who can't get into their music because they perfer some soppy melojunk. lol Jk But no this is a subjective issue that we need not even ponder a list of bands, we won't agree.

Although they're not my absolute favorite band(close up there though) Sabbath would be the only band that I would place as the best metal band. They were the first band to cross the line fully over from hard rock to heavy metal, created countless classic albums, and continue to influence a ton of bands to this day.

I'll disagree all day, the exhibit very little other than power chords in what we call metal today. But again subjective, and Maiden mad some crappy albums.

Yeah, I remember you trying to argue that Sabbath isn't metal... No use bothering to argue back; you're simply wrong. It's not even a matter of opinion. It is as true as our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

LOL! That is certainly saying something, just because the band is.........nevermind. I still say there's no such thing as "best" metal fans are not objective. :p

The topic is nowhere near musical ability and musicianship its more about consistency and overall career. We're not saying its the best band but clearly bands that would be up there saying they actually modeled the scene.. and that would be the case with Iron Maiden and Sabbath
