Hey guys, this question has been on my mind since buying Brütal Legend. What do you think is the most metal song of all time?
May the gods of rock be with you
Thunderhorse by Dethklok.

Probably my favorite:
This song is actually somewhat relevant to the thread too, since Rob Halford is in Brutal Legend.
Painkiller's a great song. Nightcrawler is the best on that album though.
I'm going to have to put some thought into this before I give an answer.
Black Bart Blues - Iron Maiden
Ohhh, I'm a big fan of a lot of Judas Priest. Painkiller is great, and, I like Leather Rebel quite a bit too
That said, I still have to go with Mr. Crowley By Ozzy off of Blizzard of Ozz

Pardon my youtube fail, but a bunch of you probably know this song already.
Oh, and stay far away from the Cradle of Filth version of this song. It's awful in so many ways, I can't count them all...
Dio - Straight Through The Heart
wetwillies: Dio - Straight Through The Heart
Dio is pretty metal. I mean, he took the helm of Black Sabbath at one point. Say what you will, but Black Sabbath's epic level is almost off the charts.
Dio Sabbath doesn't count. They aren't even called Black Sabbath anymore when they're fronted by Dio. All said and done, though, Mob Rules was a great song. Rainbow In the Dark is hands down my favorite Dio song, though.
Maskim:Dio Sabbath doesn't count. They aren't even called Black Sabbath anymore when they're fronted by Dio.
Can't argue with you on that one at all. Favorite Ozzy Sabbath album?
Mine might still be everything off of the Master of Reality album. I love that one of course. Once you get pas the essentials like the Paranoid album, you begin to understand all the crazy things they tried in their songs!
If you haven't heard Straight Through The Heart, definitely listen to it.
Maybe it takes a drummer to appreciate it (The song was built around drums), but I think it's the most underappreciated metal song.

Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
