Top 40 Greatest Metal Songs Of All Time - Part 5: Bonus Feature
We are back with part 5 of this 4-part series! How is this possible?? Well, we both had to leave out a lot of great songs for various reasons (including forgetting all about them while drawing up the initial list of 40)... So we both agreed a bonus video featuring some of these songs was essential... even though Chris's reason for wanting to choose 11 never occurred to me until I thought I was being a smartass while introducing his 11th choice.
As with the previous 4 parts, the only constraint is the song must be metal, but can be from any of the millions of sub-genres within. While this was the only constraint, we did both decide (independently) to limit our choices to one song per band... almost. All songs played in their entirety, with no limit to song duration. This bonus feature was recorded on 15th May 2022, a week or two after parts 1-4 had been done.
Highlights for this vid? Well, some of Chris's choices vary from being extremely left field to being utter shite, while I finally choose a selection that he liked from start to finish... even the black metal! However, it then comes crashing down when it comes to my 11th song, which I did NOT choose because I think it's good, although in my defence it is something Chris said he was interested to hear back in part 1.
