The Top Ten

1Linkin' Park
LINKIN PARK IS NO LONGER METAL! But they are still an amazing band. Respect to them for changing, but its time to rock again. Always love them
Change the title into "Best Metal Bands of All Time" and there, Linkin Park is the Best Nu-Metal! Even though they've changed I still loved them!
They used to be somewhat metal, but now they just keep going backwards. There new stuff simply isn't metal, not even rock in my opinion.

2Marilyn Manson
His music is the best there is unlike the Beatles they just suck
Marilyn Manson is awesome
He's nothing special I have a few friends that say ohh he's so amazing, he's a genius but he's nothing really special. And when somebody defends him in a conversation they say how he always shocks everyone. SO WHAT! It should be about the music and his music sucks

3Limp Bizkit
Limp Bizkit might be the worst band of all time. Also, why is Linkin Park at number 1? I for one think that they are an actually talented band.

4Poison

5Hollywood Undead
I don't know Y...

6iwrestledabearonce

7Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold is 4th place for best metal band of all time but 6th plave for worst metal band of all time - that doesn't make sense at al, I mean come on what nonsense!
Worst metal band ever! Way overrated, cheesy songs, decent lead guitarist. Terrible rhythm guitarist, terrible vocalist that writes the dumbest lyrics, the BEST THING ABOUT AVENGED SEVENFOLD WAS MIKE PORTNOY, but we all see how stupid those idiots are now,
Extremely Overrated by their fan base and it just makes me hate them even more that they breed annoying emo mall kid teenagers that do not have any respect for great metal bands like Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath.

8Bring Me the Horizon
Don't do a concert on philippines
They are not awfully stern to shadow Moses then you will just love them
They're not metal, they are a disgrace like all metalcore bands and are just awful

9Nickelback
Is Nickelback even metal? No. Who put Lamb of God and Avenged Sevenfold on here? At least they have talent.
I'm fan of LP and I need any band to replace my favorite from 1th place of this sucking list. Bands like mudvayne, a7x, lamb of god or slipknot are waay better than nickelback, that's why I vote for this
Nickelback is just bad. The vocals are monotonous, the guitars are long-drawn out, and not to mention the songs, althought having little meaning, wear on your mind and bore you to death over time.

10Slipknot
One of the most overrated band ever. They are so weird
Only the drummer is worth it. None of the others.
The guys are weird, The songs suck and seriously there are like ten people playing on stage!

The Contenders

11Emmure

12Black Veil Brides
Black Veil Brides suck so much they're not even cool enough for me to give them the initials BVB. They're overrated and only one of them is a girl (must be gay). Plus they wear retarded elaborate outfits that make children either laugh till they die or run away screaming. If you have any dignity, DON'T LISTEN TO BLACK VEIL BRIDES!
Laugh out loud at the comment below me, you're sticking up for Black Veil Brides, why did you vote for them on this list then? Idiot!

13Brokencyde

They suck ass and have a paedo in their group... I mean come on screaming AND some faggiit rap... PLEASE grow up!

I voted for this band as it is not even metal. I mean Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, Skid Row, hell all these bands could at least be considered as metal. But just listen to Brokencyde. There are hardly any elements in their music that even resembles metal. The closest thing that even makes them resemble metal is the screamed vocals, and they are still done in the wrong technique.

14Design the Skyline

15Cradle of Filth
Dani Filth is a turd. This band makes a good case for top 5 worst consideration.

16Bullet For My Valentine

1730 Seconds to Mars
What? , this isn't even close to metal..
Idiots these dudes are rock not metal.

18Lamb of God

19Metallica
Their songs are so boring. Avenged aren't bad but everyone hates their fans, or they just go along with everyone else who thinks it's cool to hate them and call them posers. Linkin Park aren't metal, nor are Nickleback. But I only like Enter Sandman by Metallica, and Motorhead did it better than them.

20Mudvayne
Full of sh. T mudvayne is tallent with the mix of growling and rores and singing
Along with the riffs LD.50 dull boy for ever

21Him

22Godsmack

23Skid Row

24Disturbed

25Children of Bodom

Children of bodom, disturbed, and slipknot should not be on this list. Espeaciallychildren of bodom. They are so epic. If you voted them as bad you should listen to angels don't kill or triple corpse hammerblow. They are way too good to be on this list. >:-(

Here I've added another fail 'metal' band for you to vote, though I almost feel embarrassed to call this a metal band... They sound more like metalcore to me. Anyway, I see many stupid people love to call them a death metal (oh, really? ) band... But, I'm sorry guys, CoB suck.

Nord666

26Cannibal Corpse

27Slayer
Why is Slayer on here! They are the kings of Death Metal!

28Arch Enemy

Another half metalcore half death metal project with a chick as a lead singer!

SERIOUSLY? A girl and a death metal vocalist? Oh please...

29Vhumi

30Cactus

31Krypt

32Venom

33Steel Panther

34Megadeth
Megadeth is absolutely awful. Their only good songs are Mechanix and Symphony of Destruction. Every person I talk to says that Megadeth is better than Metallica. HAHA yeah right. Explain why Metallica has sold more records than Megadeth. Oh, because they 'sold out. ' NO! They are selling so many records because they are EXCELLENT musicians. I'll admit, St. Anger and Load and ReLoad all suck, but their other albums are amazing. Well, I'm going on a rant here, so imma wrap it up. Megadeth sucks, sorry people. The only reason any of you people like them better than Metallica is because you like Metallica but you want to be different.

35Asking Alexandria

36Korn
Whoever added legends like Megadeth is an idiot. Children of Bodom is a very good band and it is certainly melodeic DEATH METAL. Lamb of God is also an awesome groove metal band. I am very surprised to see a band as crappy as Korn not even mentioned on this list yet. Well, they suck more than other nu-metal bands like Limp Bizkit, which is already terrible.

37Nightwish
God damn at! How nobody nominated Nightwish?
The worst of the worst! Disney metal for retarded!
Awful arangements, singer who forgote the lyrics, has the worst technics ever, never graduated on academy, but still calling her self "opera singer", frustrated keybordist and his chauvinist friend, the singers jealous manager husband, and all the drama in the end like the world is going to collapse without this circus!
Everythig but the metal!
Metal is not wearing black and showing horns every minute (like mrs Turunen) thinking that you are dangerous if you do that!
Metal is way of life, the attitude, the guts, the strenght to be different not cloned! And above everything-listening to death, thresh and black as basics of metal, not drooling to the ridiculous woman called "goddess"! Goddess my a**!
