Is Iron Maiden the biggest metal band in the world right now?

Metal Archives is got a lot of elitism shit going on. They have bands like Faith No More and Ulver but no Rammstein and Ministry. And nothing they consider “metalcore” gets on the site.

Yeah, the classification according to MA is completely fucked up. They deleted all the medieval metal bands (In Extremo, Subway to Sally and the like), they try to get rid of anything even slightly smelling of djent, no SOAD, no Rammstein, no Ministry and so on.

But they have Rush and Deep Purple. (Nothing against those bands, it's just... kinda bizarre)

MetalArchives don't consider either of them to be metal.

Couldn't care less about what MetalArchives considers to be metal or not (especially after such a blattant and/ or elitist error/ option)
It's almost like disregarding Opeth as a metal cornerstone just because of their 3 last albums: utter nonsense.

Genre-branding often leads to very peculiar situations: like, in some music stores, Deep Purple is put in "rock" (why not,... but) while Blackmore's Night belongs in the "hard rock/metal" section. o_O
 
Portuguese FNAC piles it all up in: HARD ROCK/ HEAVY/ PUNK/ GOTHIC/ INDUSTRIAL ... but then again all major stores in my country suck big time!
 
But even then you have really curious stuff like Cheap Trick or Zeppelin on that section and Soundgarden and Alice In Chains in POP / ROCK. Genius!
 
Traditional heavy Metal: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Motorhead, Ozzy, Dio, Saxon, Scorpions, Van Halen, Rainbow, Riot, Savatage.

Excuse me, are we all going to ignore the fact that Mena Suvari didn't offer Jason Biggs two tickets to Metallica?

She offered him
two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby

EDIT: I believe most kids here won't even know who these two people are, let alone the song.

Bolded bands are hard rock, not heavy metal.
