	I believe you meant "The Number Of The Beast"

	IM_WoodgerC:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 16:16 GMT		2 points
	I'm not sure if read the title of the quiz incorrectly, but for some reason, I thought it said "Heavy Metal", Led Zepp, AC/DC, Guns 'n' Roses and more are just rock!

	Josh:	Jan 17th, 2010 at 06:07 GMT		0 points
	Another list created by people who obviously don't know much about metal...

	elmarcodepico:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 21:02 GMT		4 points
	Go complain to the people who make "metal" quizzes with bands like Fall Out Boy. Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Guns 'N' Roses are arguably metal. In the context of this quiz, it doesn't matter.

	i can't believe i forgot don't break the oath i love the 2 minute intro on the organ and kings diamond quote a prayer from satin

	germanworldcup10:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 21:04 GMT		1 point
	where exactly did you compile this list? seems opinioned to me. and again i get sick of people grouping various kinds of metal under one common name as "metal" subgenres mean half these bands are nothing alike

	germanworldcup10:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 21:06 GMT		1 point
	oh nvm i see a source. what exactly is this source's creditbility. like when i see greatest football players i expect to see pele behind it. maybe a creditable metal figure would be best to make a list

	Bulletchewer6:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 10:48 GMT		2 points
	Good to see Tool and Opeth on the list, but "Morningrise" is Opeth's best work.

	Where's BtBAM? and ATR's The fall of ideals.

	supercodes:	Mar 11th, 2011 at 01:00 GMT		3 points
	megadave - Alice in Chains is metal. Just because they were popular doesn't discount their early works.

	whoamime:	Mar 11th, 2011 at 15:19 GMT		1 point
	I don't mind classic hard rock bands being used like zeppelin. But Godsmack IV? Wow.

	CanadaMaidenFan:	Jun 25th, 2011 at 04:02 GMT		1 point
	No way Godsmack and Alice in Chains are even close to metal. Also, I agree with the above, Fall of Ideals should be on here and Morningrise is Opeth's best

	burninginthesky:	May 16th, 2012 at 22:54 GMT		1 point
	the only reason people are discounting alice in chains as metal is because they came out of the same scene and area as grunge bands. musically they were metal.

	loopyluna:	Jun 1st, 2012 at 16:20 GMT		1 point
	Why is everyone moaning about the genre of one band? There are varying opinions, it's not black or white. It was a great quiz :)

	ShapeShift58:	Jun 21st, 2012 at 11:56 GMT		1 point
	Got 78 of them. If this quiz doesn't put you in the mood to headbang, then probably nothing will.

	dumbgai:	Aug 22nd, 2012 at 21:35 GMT		1 point
	Having seen a lot of these types of quizzes, I have to say this one is actually pretty good. Some of my own favorites made it (and are not included in other lists compiled by non-metalheads), for example: The Price of Existence (even though All Shall Perish are considered a deathcore band this album gets rid of the excessive high-pitched screams that characterize the genre and has good death metal elements), Once (best Nightwish album IMO and includes their best songs like Nemo), Draconian Times (back when doom metal wasn't boring), etc.

	This is a fun quiz, even though some of the source's choices are suspect (how any listmaker could include two Korn albums and leave off stuff like Countdown to Extinction or Screaming for Vengeance is beyond me). But then again, half the fun of these lists is complaining about its omissions :)
