depends what sort of metal you're on about for my mind it would have to be either Iron Man or Wars Pigs by Sabbath

Agree on Black Sabbath, but I'd say Meglomania or, for pure metal, Symptom of the Universe.

Is there any other kind of metal? I don't think so.

Perhaps Enter Sandman by Metallica or Symphony Of Destruction by Megadeth.

Symphony Of Destruction by Megadeth
I love that song! Definately a modern classic, along with:

Angel Of Death - Slayer
Replica - Fear Factory
Refuse/Resist - Sepultura
Walk - Pantera
Wolverine Blues - Entombed

(I admit it! I'm totally incapable of naming one song...there's just too much good music.)

If you specifically mean a hardcore metal song, then Enter Sandman. Or possibly From Out Of Nowhere, Faith No More.

If we're talking about songs from metal bands, then Sweet Child O' Mine.

Both fantastic songs.

Also love Skin of my Teeth by Megadeth.

Hardcore? Good songs, though.

Guns N' Roses aren't metal. And Sweet Child O' Mine is very, very, very overrated. It has a really simple, annoying and repetitive riff. Didn't Axl Rose think of it in a few seconds, possibly as a joke?

AC/DC aren't metal either, but Black In Black is a fantastic song.

Judas Priest's Electric Eye is excellent, and Iron Maiden's 2 Minutes To Midnight is another brilliant song.

I missed this for some reason - Metallica are about as Hardcore as Opeth are Nu Metal! Faith No More aren't Hardcore either, but then again I don't think you could fit them into a genre if you tried! I love FNM though, you can hear their influences all over a lot of Nu Metal and Metalcore bands today...

If we're talking classic Metallica tracks then I'd have to go for Creeping Death or Master of Puppets meself... both demand serious headbanging action!

HUUHHH!!! Dont insult GNR!!! Guns N roses are very much a metal band?! How on earth do you describe Appetite For destruction? Folk?? and your wrong on your info too, Sweet Child O mine was a riff written by slash to practice his techniques and yes to him it was a bit of a joke, though Axl liked it and wrote some lyrics to it and its a song that mean loooaaddds to Axl, just to Slash it was a joke and he hated the song for quite sometime. Whether you like the song or not its your own opinion, I dont thinkit over rated at all, i just think its over played! Its a great progressive Rock piece! and to finish off again GNR ARE METAL!!!

Does it matter what they are (apart from in the context of this discussion - we are discussing metal songs)? Saying they are not metal is not insulting them, not in any way I can see.

*For the record I'm not a fan and if I had to pin a genre on them, I would probably say Hard Rock*
