Greatest band to come outta jawjuh

[VOEGTLIN]

metal, folks. anyone who types "REM" gets crapped on by Knucklehead. For me it's neck & neck:

hallows eve
necropolis

anyone remember threshold of pain? Seems like they played every 20 mins.

Yeah. Threshold of Pain. Wasn't Greg from DDT in that band? I remember liking them. but damned if I can remember what they sounded like.

[VOEGTLIN]

DDT! Greg Psomas? I only saw ToP once, and that was when they opened for Dead Kennedys.

And I just got back from Raging Burrito. So beware.

"Greatest" is kind of a loaded term as there isn't really a way to measure greatness... or rather, theres many ways. National notariety, number of releases, record sales, etc.

Barring all that my favorite band from GA is definitely Quadiliacha, though they aren't entirely metal. Theres a lot of good ones, not really sure I could term one the "greatest."

c'mon mang

I'm not from around here, so take this all with a grain of salt.

I bought Death and Insanity when it came out, but I have to say that I wasn't all that excited about it. I suppose it would be different if they were locals made good. Which they obviously were. Just not my locals.

Off the top of my head, I'd probably say Withered.

Or Artimus Pyledriver. I know most people here thought they were shit, but I really enjoyed their shows.

It was a big deal. Skipped school to see River's Edge. When "Lethal Tendencies" started, the whole fucking place erupted... I'm old.

I was at that show. I remember Jello mentioning something about "crossover" metal and asking the crowd what they thought about it. Haha. It was about a 50/50 split. Wasn't Neon Christ also on that bill? They were sounding a bit metal towards the end there too.

I'm older.

Yeah, they were. I saw them quite a bit, too. Most of the time with COC. Pretty awesome. Hail, Metroplex.

Yes, you are old. The movie freakin' rocked. We found out about it because it was the only offering in the BMG or Columbia eleven-records-for-a-penny catalog that had Slayer.

"The only reason you stay here is so that you can fuck my mother and eat her food. Motherfucker! Food-eater!"

Aaaaanyway, I can completely see how the theater would have gone nuts. That particular song, I think, is a freakin' classic. Somehow, I always forget about it and only remember the title track.

Alright:

In terms of notariety and success - Mastodon

In terms of being unique and having a long string of quality releases - Kylesa

In terms of being fast and heavy - Withered

Kylesa and Withered also get points for being born from other awesome bands.

It's really impossible for me to pick just one because I like them all for different reasons
