Is Iron Maiden the all-time Heavy Metal group?

Absolutely. The created an unique style and sound and are very original and prolific in their recordings. Each album they record automatically becomes a Heavy Metal classic, since their first one in 1980 until the most recent. They are also terrific musicians as well. Though there are many great groups in the Heavy Metal scene, only Iron Maiden is always one step forward. They are the real masters of the genre.

Back in the 1970's and 1980's it was popular for members of the clergy to bash rock music, especially heavy metal.  One of the most notorious groups to be labeled evil was Iron Maiden, primarily because of the song, "Number of the Beast."  When asked if members of Iron Maiden are devil worshipers their reply was, "No we are not.  It was just one song."  The song, in fact, was based on the book, "The Omen," to which the Catholic church gave the thumbs up. \n    The song starts off with verses from The Revelation of Jesus Christ.  "Whoa to thee of earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath." (Revelation 12:12)  "Let him who have understanding recognize the number of the beast for it is a human number.  It's number is six hundred and sixty six." (Revelation 13:18) \n\n    How can anything which contains the word of God be evil?  Hello!  The book of Revelation (Revelation 1:3) even promises a blessing for anyone who reads this to others!  God works in strange ways and who would have thought that some British heavy metal musicians would teach some biblical verses to millions of American teenagers, who would never have know it otherwise.  And God did bless Iron Maiden with their break through hit and a long and prosperous career.  Another song of theirs, "The Evil That Men Do" also refers to The Revelation of Jesus Christ 5:6. and you can find biblical references in many other songs by Iron Maiden, as well as songs by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. \n\n    All of this brings me to my point that God is in everything and that if we look for God we can find it.  God always wins and has his influence everywhere. \n  \n\nBack Masking \n    What about back masking, the old trick of playing an analog tape backwards while record music or lyrics forwards.  Supposedly brainwashing messages played backward are going to make us do what ever they say.  That doesn't work backwards, verbal persuasion seldom works forwards.  As a president of an advertising firm once said, "If that worked then every commercial would use it, and we could make men buy tampons!  It's just not so.  \n\n    Many times when I perform "Stairway to Heaven" I feel the Holy Spirit.  Could it be that somehow God used another heavy metal band, Led Zeppelin, to glorify Jesus Christ and Heaven for masses of teenagers. It seems that British school boys know a lot more about Christianity than their American counterparts. \n\n    Lets examine the words to Stairway to Heaven.  One verse that sticks out right away is " 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings."  Hey the Bible is full of parables, words with two meanings.  Maybe some of the words in this song have two meanings.  Let's examine it line by line and see the hidden meanings and the strange ways God works to spread the word. \n\n    But you say that the artists are sinners so this song must be evil.  In The Revelation of Jesus Christ, (Revelation 19:10) an angel tells John that God says the message is what's important, not the messenger.  Besides, Jesus loves sinners.  He died for your sins. \n\n    Isn't it funny that every year since it was new, Stairway to Heaven has been the number one rock song every time that a rock radio station plays their all time greatest, most requested songs.  That's pretty amazing, in fact it's a miracle!  Truly it is.  I mean, do you think God would let Highway to Hell be number one?  Well, maybe if God wanted to use it as a warning.  But God, being a good, friendly, and loving God would rather do a little positive reinforcement and use a positive song after all.... \n  \n\nThis is a song of hope  (this is a song of salvation) \n\nStairway To Heaven \nwords and music by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. \n\nThere's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold \nAnd she's buying a stairway to heaven. (she is tithing) \nWhen

Of all time, metallica. Or pantera or sepultra.(Why must they all end in As?) Right now I like Coal Chamber and SOAD. They're not really heavy metal, though. Goth metal and hard rock respectively...

I love Judas Priest.  Rob Halford is one of the best heavy metal singers out there. Glenn tipton and KK Downing are great guitarist.  I have almost all thier albums, but my farovites are Britsih steel and scream for vengeance. My favorite songs are heading out to the highway, beyond the relams of death, tubro lover, and victim of changes(the live verison). I saw them twice one with Ripper and one with Halford.  They don't get enough credit that they deserve.

Heavy Metal all the way!

Their early releases can be classified as power metal, as they focused on rapid tempos and more technical guitar solos. They now focus on a more melodic sounding black metal. However, the lines between the sub genre of metal are very blurred, and you would be able to get away with calling them black metal, death meal, power metal, speed metal, heavy metal, or even Scandinavian metal. =)

Check these out:\nKamelot\nHammerfall\nTrivium has great potential if they'd wise up on vocals.\nIron Maiden's "Death on the Road" CD is spectacular.

ABSOLUTELY!  They are my favorite and I've seen them in concert 8 times. Fabulous!  I've been a loyal and devoted fan since around 1984-85.  There's not a better band on the planet as far as I'm concerned and I listen to their music every single day. :)

With respect, the last answer didn't answer your questions. Your question was "in any group of metals...the most active metal in the group is found"\n\nGroups 1 are metal and group 2 are earth metal. Therefore, these two "metal" groups actually have different answers to your question. One gets more reactive (active) as you go down, the other less reactive.\n\nTherefore, the answer to your question is top of one group and bottom of the other. Your challenge, should you wish to accept it, its to find out which is which.
