The link will be in the description if anyone wanted to try it themselves 🍺 Also I mixed up marduk and immortal logos but I like them equally anyway

Love these sort of lists questy. Looking forward to this!

Pagan Altar was one of the earliest Doom Metal bands, but often overlooked even by Doom Fans. As for The Obsessed, it's Scott Weinrich's original band and his main band when he's not with Saint Vitus. Great ranking for the most part! 🤘

Holy shit man what a hard task! I couldnt see myself pulling through with it but I always enjoy watching these

Great video. Would have loved to see you rank Agalloch, Enforced, Powertrip, Defheaven, Vektor, Ulcerate, Mgla, Blood Incantation, Temple of Void, etc. But I’m not complaining. Awesome work!

I'm a Thrash and Doom metal fan all day, but I have a soft spot for Deftones.. one of my favorite bands and my heart broke a bit seeing them at F tier haha

our taste might be completely deferent but I love every single one of ur videos cuz ur one of the few rock and metal vid creators who doesn't care about comments and talk 100% based on their personal taste ... really appreciate it

That was fun. I was triggered by a few choices. Of course this is about personal taste, as you said. I love Deftones and they would probably go A+ tier. Judas Priest and Black Sabbath are S tier for me without a doubt. You may enjoy Pagan Altar. Classic doom. The Obsessed is also doom but with a hardcore punk influence. Wino from Saint Vitus leads The Obsessed and they are similar.

You're ranking was soo good and then you had to shit the bed moving Tool to A+ when you had it right the first time with S tier. Fun list - great content.

The Deftones ranking hurt my feelings 😔😔😔

DEFTONES IN F????? That hurt like hell😰

The band at 39:09 that you said was something on a cereal box, is an English thrash metal band called Xentrix. I absolutely love these guys. If you haven't already, check out their second album from 1990, For Whose Advantage.

Accept is at least A+ for me. I’m much older than you though. Always loved the catchy lyrics. Love most of your higher ranked bands on your list too.

Ronnie Dio is my fav artist of all time. i swear you are the only one who had him in the tier list. everyone keeps ignoring him, may it be rock (rainbow) or metal tier list. finally someone....

Fun video Cheers

solid list most of the things I agree with or would only move up or down one spot with ONE exception entombed in b? have you lost your mind?! there second only to boltthrower thrower! ps were would you put goat moon on this list?

I highly recommend The Obssessed. Old school heavy/doom. Very emotional lyrics and slow sound. Very similar to Trouble, another great classic band. I recommend "the obssessed" album to begin. One of my personal classic doom metal albums of all time

Definitely check out Battle Cry by Omen, By Inheritance by Artillery, For Whose Advantage by Xentrix, Magical & Mythical by Pagan Altar, Skeptics Apocalypse by Agent Steel and my two favorite albums of all time: Death or Glory and Stronger than Evil by Heavy Load 🤘🏻

37:13 Helstar (Power/speed metal band from Texas, known for heavy incorporation of vampire/occult-related themes; somewhat comparable in sound to bands like Jag Panzer and Agent Steel, with perhaps a dash of Mercyful Fate) 39:01 Xentrix (British thrash band, fairly similar in sound to Testament; generally considered one of the U.K.'s 'Big Four' of thrash alongside Onslaught, Sabbat, and Acid Reign)

You should check out By Inheritance by Artillery. Really good classic thrash album

Currently watching, 'cause you just uploaded. I just wanted to say that I watch you because I lost my clique since I moved to cousin-fuck Texas a decade ago...and you're the kinda dude I'd totally hang with and geek out about metal with. You are also one of the channels that inspired me to recently start uploading, myself. Keep up the great work, ya cockney cancel-worthy cooch! (I dunno. Sounded good at the time. Lol.)

that "marduk" logo was actually the old immortal logo 👀

Deftones shouldn’t even be mentioned

Hey man great list! Really interesting videos and love your channel. I was just wondering could you send a list of modern metal bands that play “Classic/Traditional” Standard Heavy Metal but with modern sounding heavy instruments? So a similar style to bands like Enforcer and White Wizard, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest but with a sound that’s modern like Primal Fear or Judas Priests Firepower album.

You should also check out Hedra, they're based in Norfolk and their current EP the pecking order is really good!

I do have a few of the Same S-level bands as you - Bolt Thrower, Death. But I would also have Carcass there, and Tool as well. Maybe even Coroner, if not then they would definitely be A+. You did say something that really caught me off guard- you said that Obituary all sounds the same and nothing stands out. Have you really listened to Cause of Death? Repeated listening to commit it to memory? I had it when it first came out, and I can say that even today when I randomly have a riff going through my head there is a 50% chance it's from Cause of Death.

Definitely check out Annihilators Never, Neverland album, it’s a masterpiece

Artilley, Xentrix and Heavy Load are the top 3 you haven't heard that I'd recommend. Artillery are the greatest Danish Thrash band, Xentrix are (probably) the greatest British Thrash band maybe on level with Evile(which are more Thrash revival) and Heavy Load are brilliant NWOBHM-style Heavy Metal. Phil Lynott played bass on the song Free - check that one out! And it's hilarious that the band Free did a song called Heavy Load, while the band Heavy Load did a song called Free!

Cold Lake isn't a bad album, it just shouldn't have been a Celtic Frost album. Tom should have made a new moniker for it. I love the album XD Also, the energy drink logo band is Xentrix, a UK thrash band. They're quite good.

Make a video about your favourite SPACEY albums!

Dude Pagan Altar is great. Check out Mythical & Magical!

I was about to cry as I saw that you put Sonata Arctica only in A tier and COB only in B tier. That was kinda sad... Just kidding Great Video was fun to watch

Funny, “Whatever the hell that is” is my favorite metal band of all time. Helstar…Probably the most underrated metal band ever. They were absolutely destroying their peers(Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica) live in the mid 80’s.

Curious where you would put Cradle of Filth. I think I heard you say one time that you liked them.

Who is the group you mentioned after Insomnium? It sounded Belli- something. It came up Bellacor and I can't make it out from the logo. It would have been nice if you'd mentioned one of their albums so I could find it out that way.

NEVERMORE - a paragon of S tier band, a legacy that can never be denied

where the fuck is Mayhem?

Where was Cradle of Filth? And where would you put them?

Damn, as a thrasher it hurts to see you don't know Agent Steel, Xentrix, Sacred Reich or Artillery. Check out For Whose Advantage, Ignorance and By Inheritance, all excellent albums.

Artillery - By Inheritance is one of the best thrash albums ever, definitely the best one I know from Scandinavia Sacred Reich - Ignorance, Surf Nicaragua, The American Way are definitely worth checking out Xentrix - not my most favourite, but still solid. Check out Shattered Existence and For Whose Advantage.

I'm mad Katatonia is missing, but I 100 percent agree Opeth is the G.O.A.T.

You need to listen to pagan alter man, they’re amazing imo

This is probably my favorite video by you. My favorite band is Mercyful Fate/King Diamond. The only issue I have with this list is that they were made as two bands. I would have made it one. Reason being King writes virtually everything on both projects. Opeth is my second favorite and My Dying Bride my third even though they were not featured here. Oh and thank you thank you for putting Dillinger Escape Plan in F. I listened to one album by them. When it was done I wanted to throw up.

I thought it was the old Immortal logo and not the Marduk logo? Quite difficult to separate them though! I made my own list before watching and only found room for 3 bands in S tier: Darkthrone, Blind Guardian and Rammstein.

I know this list 'only' covered 100 bands or so and there are many more to talk about. With that said, this list tries to cover all the metal subgenres more or less but completely ignored 1 of them: symphonic metal. Yes, yes, pure metal fans who hate female lead singers and all that, but metal is metal and if you're covering all the different subgenres you should cover at least a few of those. Top 3 are obviously Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation. Also it's weird for a list that covers black metal bands to not have Mayhem, Emperor and Burzum in it. There are also plenty of others like Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, etc but I get that you can't include everything, but as a Brit where is Cradle of Filth? And speaking of incomplete parts, German thrash metal without Destruction and Tankard? That's 2 of the big 4 AWOL.

Did you rank Enslaved and Dimmu?

bro really put pantera in b tier and megadeth + sepultura in a tier, what a fking joke man lmao

You must listen to Heavy Load, the best metal band of all time pretty much. Beats Tool and Opeth any day of the week. :)

Sabbath is S tier for sure and Obituary is A+. Everything else I’m fine with.

Savatage is S tier for me without any question. One of the greatest bands of all time. Love 'em to death. Other bands i would rank differently are Metallica (D tier at best - only because of their first 4 albums), Tool (also D tier), never really got into them, although i tried many times. In Flames also lost a lot of credibility in my book after Clayman (i would put them in C tier). Other then that i can relate to your ratings. Maybe +/-1 here and there. But ranking 100 bands is not an easy task. I did a lot of those rankings back in the 90s with my friends and it ended up almost every time in heated discussions.

You need to check Angra , progressive power metal from Brazil 🇧🇷

I love these, you're puttng yourself at major risk here aswell by doing 100 bands; that's atleast 100 pissed off people haha. Gonna go through what were my favourite bands & whether you got them in a good spot or not. First of all, Disturbed in F? C'mon, c'mon you're just lying to yourself, you know they're atleast in C, they still play their old songs live & the fact their still a band after being on hiatus for like 5 years stands tall to their testamony. I'll accept Pantera in B, I won't like it but I'll accept it. As much as I like Deftones I can agree with it's position in F tbh. Oh yeah Mastodon in A+ for sure. Lamb of God in B I can agree with too, most of the songs sound the same tbh. Trivium in B is, understandable but they're so well versed with a lot of different styles, I'd put it in A tbh. Slipknot in B though is just an insult, I could go on & on about it but it's atleast an A, only reason it doesn't get A+ or S is that they're not as wild as they used to be but B? C'mon. Now you can't put Korn in D & say you like 'em, I wouldn't put them in A but atleast B or C, one of the most influential bands & you cast them aside like Punk cover band. To be fair though, the lastest albums ha ve not been as good you're right there. Aborted in B, can't complain too much there for Death Grind. Above average for sure. Slayer in A, of course. Electric Wizard in B is, satisfactory. Megadeth in A+, obviously. You'd be a fool to have them lower. Black Sabbath in A+ god damn right. I can understand Machine Head in D tbh, a lot of people think they went downhill after The Blackening but I enjoy them a lot. Tool in A+ is understandable, they're a phenominal band with lots of crazy cool ideas but imo, every single song sounds the exact same. Every single song is good but like, sometime it just feels like I'm listening to the ame song with a different riff, which is weird to say. Anthrax in B, I can get behind. Fairly average, pretty gateway material but still good. I didn't need to write any of this but I did. If there's anything I took away from this it's that I got a few more bands to listn too.

Dude, give "One of Us is the Killer" by Dillinger Escape Plan a listen.

Hi Questy 😉

pantera is an instant s tier for me coming from a texan lol

I watched the whole list, and no Manowar!

Right off the bat Megadeth, Running Wild, Candlemass, Death, and Black Sabbath are S tier for me (gotta get a but of everything lol)

I LOVE Ulcerate. The BEST band in the world.Waiting new album this year

that’s the immortal logo you silly man

Wow! Some of your picks really baffle me 😂 Mostly the placement of SOAD, LOG, Trivium, Slipknot, A7X and similar bands, who to me are D tier at their absolute peak, and I'm feeling generous. Especially above bands like Satan, Possessed, Electric Wizard. And Coroner (who are S tier without a shadow of a doubt!) But this is your list, not mine so I can't argue with your selelction, I just thought our tastes were more similar. And dude, absofuckinglutely check out every single band you put in 'Not heard!' Each and every single one of them is amazing! All of them ranging from A to A+ for me, Helstar and Omen may even reach S.

My top 2 favorite bands Deftones and Dillinger are both in F lmao

Deftones in the F tier almost killed me

tool is my fav. but you dont have alice in chains i guess they are grunge but they were the best grunge. nice job tho

Agree with all the S tier except for Tool. They are good but not that good

i LOVE Opeth

Savatage must go A!

Too much power metal early on, gotta skip

You’ve never heard of Xentrix? Check out ‘For Whose Advantage’

I liked your video as soon as you stated Opeth were no 1 all time....though Sabbath should also be S .... They are The Beatles of metal sir....been getting into a few of the other bands out of all the others here recently...will check out the ones not heard in your S tier for sure...loving Amorphis recently and Cirith Ungol too... Cathedral also really got into recently...agree that Tool don't make S tier....much like Dream Theatre for me they have that little something that irritates me on every album...something cold in their DNA....despite obvious excellence. Of the many missing bands from this list despite obvious excellence in their craft...love Yob...they are an S band for me...along with Cult of Luna (competing for 1st place with Opeth.) And for operatic metal....Nightwish are top end A+ at least....and def an S standard live band. I'd also put Ghost in S for sheer song writing prowess but perhaps getting too poprock orientated for this list there....

Rage from Germany to me is one of the greatest metal bands of all time

No mortician 🥲

When does this guy actually get the chance to listen to so much metal???

TOOL is number 1!

Oooh boy here we go. S: Carcass, Edge of Sanity, Megadeth, Death, Dissection, Sodom, Dillinger Escape Plan A+: Nevermore, Voivod, Symphony X, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Cryptopsy, Testament, Stratovarius, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, BTBAM, Mastodon, Vader, Sleep, Judas Priest A: Black Sabbath, Running Wild, Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Meshuggah, Opeth, Hypocrisy, Rotting Christ, Gorguts, Atheist, Exhumed, Solitude Auternus, Autopsy, Cannibal Corpse, Dark Tranquility, Amorphis, Insomnium, Bel Lakor, Bathory, Gamma Ray, Coroner, Sepultura, Satyricon, Artillery, Suffocation, Iron Maiden, Deftones B: Celtic Frost, At the Gates, Children of Bodom, Korn, Satan, Bloodbath, Aborted, Savatage, Cirith Ungol, Pagan Altar, Pentagram, Dio, Rammstein, Decapitated, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Kataklysm, Rhapsody, Inflames, Darkthrone, Pantera, Fear Factory, Death Angel, Kreator, Sarcofago, Tool, Metallica, Dying Fetus, Killswitch Engage, Disturbed C: Obscura, Queensryche, Bolt Thrower, Sacred Reich, Dismember, Gojira, System of a Down, Dark Angel, Sorcerer, Amon Amarth, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Slipknot, Exodus, Sonata Artica, Immortal, Dragonforce, Electric Wizard, Annihilator D: Pestilence, Trivium, Sabaton, Accept, Saxon, Overkill, Dream Theater, Venom, Marduk, Possessed, A7X, Slayer F: Necrophagist, Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Hammerfall, Iced Earth

Tool should be in S tier

My S tier would be: Tool Symphony X Sabbath Metallica Iron Maidan

A lot of this list hurt my soul but i appreciate not being the only one on the planet that thinks deftones is overrated dog water

I love Dillinger Escape Plan, but I used to hate them. They're an acquired taste. Also very divisive.

Where Nile? :/

Pantera in B????????

Look I listen to metal and i have for years at this point but if i cant make out your band name on your album covers I'm just going to assume your some kind of Black Metal band I don't want to listen to.

How the hell did you put Annihilator in F tier??? Are you serious? Annihilator and and Dio should be easy S tiers. Disappointed in you.

Agent steel...omega conspiracy.. listen to Questy must.. OR NO resty for Questy. Ha ha

I’m surprised no 🤘Inquisition 🤘which should have been in S since Questy has stated that they are his favorite black metal band. They are my favorite as well. Dagon is a riff genius and songwriter and Incubus is in the elite class of black metal drummers. Also, where is the great Immortal?

A band tier list without queen??

Where are Nile and Behemoth?

Right there with you on Deftones. I’ve never understand why people call White Pony a classic record. I’ve seen them twice live at festivals. Walked away with same opinion both times.

This list is ridiculous

Vader is a death metal not thrash

Ooof sorry about that. I was taking life too seriously and pretending to be self entitled. Lol

Deftones in F tier god damn it bro.

In terms of song quality I'd put Deftones above everything in this list. Chino is really inconsistent live though.

Gonna get a lot of hate for this but... where the fucking hell is Manowar man?

Disturbed goes S jijijá

I just started watching. This list better be exactly how my opinions expect it to be...or else I'm unsubscribing!!!

People actually listen to Blind Guardian?? 🤔

Manowar??

you know at the end of day Tool is S-tier don't kid yourself fanboy

System in the b tier is disgraceful

I think this video tries to grasp with too big of a task, and the results are a bit varied. I agree with some of the choices, including much of S, A+ and A tiers, but my biggest issue is with how many essential bands are simply... missing (btw apologies if I missed some, it's easy to miss one or two). Where's Marduk (that's the old Immortal logo, not Marduk, btw), Mayhem, Nile, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Windir, Wintersun, Kalmah, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Necrophobic, Drudkh, Nokturnal Mortum, goddamn BURZUM or KATATONIA and a ton of other essential bands?! Whoever made this list did a very weird job of it. Stuff like Korn, Disturbed, System of a Down doesn't even belong here. They'd be automatic Fs for me. My biggest disagreements are that Cannibal Corpse should be way lower, C at most, it's very cookie-cutter death metal that does nothing and just has a gore gimmick. Conversely, Hypocrisy should be A+ or S tier, amazing atmospheric DM band. Arch Enemy should be around B-tier, as should Satyricon.
