the origins of death metal were in early thrash, metallica slayer etc.. and prior to that NWOBHM acts like diamond head etc.. venom is also  usually affiliated with death metal, even though musically not so, due to their use of pagan and satanist imagery..  eventually bands like sepultura death obituary entombed celtic frost came out which eventually led to more modern "death" like deicide morbid angel cannibal corpse gorguts carcass etc..

Van Halen...David Lee Roth was one heck of a performer.\nWhitesnake...David Coverdale was fantastic and John Sykes was a great guitarist.\nIron Maiden\nRatt\nBon Jovi\nMotley Crue\nRush\nOzzy...definately in the 80's (Randy Rhoades was one of the best guitarists and paved the way for metal by combining classical with heavy metal.)

Opeth-they are more progressive death metal, but they are my all time favorite metal band. \n\nCradle Of Filth- they are kinda satanic, but they rock out alot. \n\nKataklysm- they are really good. \n\nA Dozen Furies- they rock out. \n\nNorma Jean- not exactly black metal, more screamo, but still good. \n\nThe Agony Scene- they are awesome. A good death/black metal band.

Probably the best melodeath band, and they're becoming popular in the metal scene. Another great melodic death metal band is At The Gates, one of my favourites.

Paul Mesvidal (CYNIC, DEATH) Trey from MORBID ANGEL, Chuck from DEATH, Petrucci from DREAM THEATER, James Murphy (DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT)\n\nWell, these are my favorite guitarist, but that does not mean that they are the best ones. There is some crazy kids these days that are really pushing the limits.

First song ever was "Hit the Lights" and that was on a "Metal Massacre" CD. It was like the demo version though. Then an improved version was put on their eponymous debut "Kill Em' All"\nThe Metal Masscre version was on the demo "No Life Till' Leather"(Their very first CD ever, very rare).
