Ok, um, I've sort of forgotten about this page and I've been busy, So I decided to update this damn thing. Wat's up guys and gals? U guys been doing good. My first week of my junior year went pretty good. Got golf starting next week. I have xbox live gold as some of you have been seeing already. My gamertag is SirLancealot325. Hit me up so we can play together!

The title says it all; a list of the best heavy metal albums. The 10 best, in my opinion. My opinion, not yours. If you wish to voice your opinion, write a comment congratulating me; shun the list or even make your own. Read this at your own risk....

#5

Ride the Lightning by Metallica

Release Year: 1984

Memorable track(s): Well, everything, honestly.

Rounding out the top 5 is one of Metallica's best efforts, better than any of there other crap they've released after "The Black Album" (though "Fuel is good). Anyways, its an awesome album that shows the rise of thrash metal, and the rise of one of the best thrash metal bands ever. If you like thrash metal, there's a good chance you'll like this one.

#4

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Release year: 1986

Memorable track(s): Angel Of Death, Raining Blood

Oh boy, I smell some controversy with this one. Well, I don't give a damn....

Reign In Blood is Slayer's best album by a mile, and is one of the most fastest and best thrash metal albums ever. Who doesn't love the opening scream, guitar solo and the double bass drum part right after the guitar solos on the opening track, "Angel Of Death"? You've just played "Raining Blood" on Guitar Hero 3; the Mosh 1 section is a b***h. But still, even though "Reign In Blood" clocks in at about 30 minutes (which is relatively short), you'll want to listen to it again and again afterwards. If you don't like this album, then you don't deserve to say you like thrash metal.

#3

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Release year: 1971

Memorable track(s): Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs

This and "Machine Head" (see # are one of the first heavy metal albums ever to be released. And, damn, are they fabulous, as is this one. Who doesn't love the main riff to "Iron Man", the 7-minute long protest song "War Pigs", and the simply-designed but equally good "Paranoid"? By far one of the best heavy metal albums, no one will be able to replace this album. Be jealous, other bands.

#2

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Release year: 1982

Memorable track(s): The Number Of The Beast, Run To the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name

I know you Maiden fans were wondering "where was a Maiden album going to be?" Well, here you go. This album is by far their best album, and is mighty close to the top spot, at #2. For those of you who've never heard of this album, you'd be wondering if the band -- or, me -- was Satanic. But, I'm not and they're not either. Satanic can be answered by listening to any Slayer album besides Reign In Blood. The intro to the title track is absolutely fantastic, and is really fun to play on real guitar and on GH3. I could say this album is a God-given gift.... but then again, maybe not.... lol

#1

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Release year: 1986

Memorable track(s): Um, everything

I really don't know what to say about this album. Its just that good. Better than any metal album released ever (and forever) Master Of Puppets is where everything comes together. The solo in the title track is f*****g insane, and I can't imagine how difficult that could be to play on GH4. But anyways, Battery and Damage Inc. are some of the best thrash songs around, and beat any attempt for any new band to surpass this masterpiece. So, quite simply, Master Of Puppets truly is the Master of Metal and, in my opinion, the best metal album ever made, bar none.

I'm making a wishlist for GH4. I've found songs that would be fun to play as a band, and now you may see and comment on my wishlist. Any recommendations are appreciated *Note: the songs are organized via lead guitar difficulty only*

Okay, something glitchful is going on. A couple of days ago, I went from level 15 straight to level 17 in one night. Then last night, I went from 17 down to level one. WTF?!Now, I went from 1 back up to level 19, and I'm about halfway through. I huess its preapring me for the metal slime part, and everyone who has surpassed the level has said that it takes a while to get past the level. So that's whats going on. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to glitchspot.

Such awesomeness, Super Mario Galaxy and Call Of Duty 4 are. Their both awesome! I purchased both of them on Nov. 12th, and I've played the crap out of both of them. COD 4 I just posted a review on (please read) and Super Mario Galaxy will be getting a review from me tomorrow. Call of Duty 4 is the best COD game to date. Outsatnding gameplay and campaign. As for Super Mario Galaxy, its probably one of the greatest Mario games I've ever been able to play. Easily beating out SM64 and SMS, Super Mario Galaxy is the agem to beat on the Wii. So if you're looking for a game for your Wii or 360 (or PS3),get SMG and COD 4, for you won't be dissapointed.
