    Plenty of great ones here. Impossible to narrow it down to 100 tho. I have exactly 712 metal bands in my collection and I’d call about half of them “essential” lol
  • @raffanimation
    XD Iron Maiden's photo with Paul rather than Bruce. Ballsy
  • @DeralteWestfale
    Nice List. But I missed Bolt Thrower, Exodus, Tankard, Tiamat and Sodom.
  • Danzig?Deicide?Destruction?Exodus?Faith No More?Motley Crue?Overkill?Ratt?Sodom?
  • @brokenwithin38

  • @starbricks4996
    What about Architects, Arch Enemy, Godsmack, P.O.D and Blind Channel

  • @jlmenard7688
    I'm more into hardcore punk, does anyone know any bands that could get me into metal?
  • @mhuh
    Limp Bizkit having more listeners than Megadeth speaks volumes.
  • @atvena
    Someone knows their metal sub genres 👌
