I'm more disturbed by the fact he thinks Live is a good band. No, the best heavy metal band of the 90s is Alice in Chains. If they don't qualify, which I think they do, it is then Pantera.


And I'm disturbed about the thought of AIC being described as heavy metal.

I saw AIC in the old Summit in Houston with Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer on the Clash Of The Titans tour in the summer of 1991. They held their own with the first two of those as best they could.

I personally don't consider them a 'metal' act, but when they came out with Facelift, they were hard enough to be put in that catagory by people who didn't know just how to classify their sound and before the rest of the alternative scene broke loose.

And although I don't consider Soundgarden a heavy metal band, Badmotorfinger is as metal as other 90s album and in the running for the best of that genre. It's simply slays from beginning to end.

Pantera simply changed the game got heavy metal. Slayer would be the only honest competition for them in that decade.
