It wasn't really one band that started metal, it was a bunch of movements and bands over time that were eventually brought together to form what we now call metal. If you meant who came first, they started the same year, however black sabbath was not originally called black sabbath, and originally played heavy blues rock and moved into metal a few years later. Metallica didn't start until well over a decade later.

I agree.  I love nearly all era's of music, but the stuff from the 60's, 70's, and 80's is better by far than most of the music today.\nI personally like Led Zeppelin, they had a great guitarist, and a great drummer, and could play rock, blues, and a lot of other styles of music as well.  For example D'yer'maker (hope I spelled that correctly) almost sounds a bit like calypso, "When the Levee Breaks" is a classic blues song, "Stairway To Heaven" is probably one of the greatest rock songs ever.  Not only could they play a variety of music styles their lyrics were intelligent and intriguing.\nAnother of my all time favorites was and is Bob Dylan, the man is a lyrical genius, and he has inspired more musicians than any other singer/songwriter.\nTodays music just doesn't compare.  They simply regurgitate their songs and their goal is to make money.  Back in the 60's - 80's people were actually writing songs that meant something, and they were trying to say something.  Today's artists might tell you that is what they are attempting to do, but IMO they have failed misserably.  They simply parrot what the mainstream media and entertainment industries spew out and say that they are trying to make a difference.\nThere are only two "modern" bands that I like, one of them broke up (Rage Against The Machine), the other is U2

I like "Master of Puppets" much more - whether it's metal, hard rock or whatever - it's just a better song. "One" is probably the best song on "Justice" but that's not saying much in my opinion - it's my least favorite Metallica album after "St. Anger."\n\nDave Mustaine was definitely in an early version of Metallica, but I think he and Kirk played together for a period. Check out the fantastic "Some Kind of Monster" documentary for more insight on that whole episode.

Dimebag played Dean guitars exclusively as far as I know.  We were about the same age and in the same area.  He got his first guitars through the Sears And Roebuck catalog at the time and as far as I know he stuck with that one style of guitar.  I saw Pantera open up fopr Black Sabbath at Reunion Arena back in Jan 1999 and he as playing the same thing he'd been playing for years.  By the way, Black Sabbath blew Pantera off the stage and were so much better!

Both were extremely talented. I have to admit that I liked Randys riffs a little better that Eddies. It's too bad we didn't get to hear Randy for another 20 years. \n\nbtw, if guitar playing was some athletic event, David Gilmore wouldn't be able to carry either ones jocks.....

Wrong, harleyman.  \n\nLed Zeppelin was the first band who was described as "Heavy Metal". They released albums from 1969 to 1982.  One of the most versatile, hard rocking and timeless bands.\n\nVocals - Robert Plant\nGuitar, other strings - Jimmy Page\nDrums - John Bonham (died 1980)\nBass, Keyboard - John Paul Jones

My Top 5 favorite Black Sabbath albums are their first four albums and Heaven and Hell, I thought that Heaven and Hell was a surprisingly great album considering that Ozzy was no longer in the band and that they were able to pull off making a classic album after their two previous lackluster albums.

My favorite band is Megadeth, no list, no ties, just Megadeth. They rock harder than all rock bands in the world combined. Some of you may say, "but hold on, what about Metallica?" Well, Metallica is the spark that lit the flame of Megadeth. I realize that without Lars being so very stupid, Dave would've never realized that he had to make a band 100 times better than Metallica. For that Lars, I thank you, I thank you for being such a complete moron.

IRON MAIDEN, ALL THE WAY!\nTruly, it's difficult to compare ...\nI love IM for their melodic music and more intelligent and thought-provoking lyrics.\nMetallica's creaming vocal and fast rhythm do not impress me.

Dragonforce's music is definetly influenced by Iron Maiden, so they can't be better.\n\nThey both are great, but I would say Iron Maiden.
