Winner goes through to next round. There will be 16 first rounds, a total of 112 bands.

Once the final 16 is reached, each band will compete heads up with another, until we are down to 8, 4 then 2 respectively.

The final 2 will play off in the Grand Final.

Obviously, not everybody's choice of bands will be included, but I will do my best.

The general genres will be metal, hard rock and classic rock.

Each round will last approx. 4 days but nothing exact.

During the finals each band will be matched by use of a random number generator.

Out of that lot, Testament.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time

From that list Megadeth. Dokken (their last album rules) and Pantera came close.

If Testament would have more songs at Return to Serenity level they would have get my vote tho.

Megadeth
---
Despite LC's (disturbing) love for Dokken, you just can't argue with Deth.  Clever lyrics (mostly), blistering guitars, great compositions, and a relatively consistent catalog.  Apart from Risk (which is listenable), every album ranges from good to downright amazing.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time

Dokken (the new Adrian Smith)

Edit - it won't be quite as good, since we can't give 782,349 votes to Dokken every time, but still...
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time

It's clearly Priest.
Mustaine > Halford?  :huh:
Are you guys relatives?

I'm starting to understand the adoration.
Damn that Mick Brown had some locks.
 
Re: The 2nd Greatest Band of All Time

From that selection I go with Priest. They were the band who established the heavy metal sound. Other bands inspired it, Sabbath may have created it, but in my opinion, heavy metal did not become heavy metal until Victim of Changes.
