What are some other bands that are like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Iron Maiden etc.?

Question

I need some more songs for my mp3 player that I will like. I already have every song by every band listed except for slayer, and most songs by other bands like exodus and motorhead. What are some other lesser known bands that I will like and some good songs by them. I like some grunge too like Soundgarden and Alice In Chains and classic rock like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.

Answer 1

Skid Row's second album "Slave To the Grind" had a lot of heavy stuff.. Testament is ok i guess... Some Nirvana fer yer grunge dilema would help out lol... Queensryche can be pretty heavy...the Album Operation: Mindcrime was flat out amazing!

Answer 2

I totally agree, they are way awesome. I think they are one of most unique, if not the most unique and without a doubt, the most consistent Metal band in existence. Their themes are one of a kind and are always diverse and vivid. Every member of the band is a true master of their instrument and they write songs that just never get old and leave a mark in the listener's memory. There is something very complete about Maiden, and the fact that they STILL put out great albums, just shows how great the band is. They refuse to whither away and they have the tools not to, they remain one of the most talented and best sounding Metal bands to date. MQ2- I honestly can't. There are a few that come close, but as far as the number of great albums, Maiden just can't be matched. MQ3- I think they are. BQ- (In no order) Flash of the Blade The Prisoner Heaven Can Wait The Clairvoyant Montsegur Revalations Murders in the Rue Morgue Rime of the Ancient Mariner Wasted Years The Alchemist Different World Children of the Damned The Pilgrim The Wicker Man Remember Tommorow The Talisman Face in the Sand When the Wild Wind Blows Fear of the Dark Still Life BQ3- Top 10 1. Powerslave 2. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 3. Peace of Mind 4. Dance of Death 5. Somewhere in Time 6. The Final Frontier 7. Killers 8. The Number of the Beast 9. Iron Maiden 10. Brave New World BQ3- Hard to decide, I think Bruce is the biggest personality in the band since he's the front man, but I'm probably the most influenced by Nicko since I play the drums. BQ4- Let's see, Rattlehead (Megadeth) vs. Snaggle Tooth (Motorhead), vs Fangface (Gamma Ray) vs Jack O Lantern (Helloween) vs. Chaly (Overkill) vs The Guy (Disturbed) vs Murray (Dio) vs Eddie in an epic fight to the death, I think Eddie would own them all! It might depend on which Eddie, but choose the Eddie from KIllers and NOTB or Somewhere in Time and there would be no contest.
