Has this been done? Oh, well if iy has, we can do it again.

The big 4 re pretty thrashy if you ask me, I'm more interested in what would you consider to be a HArd Rock Big 4

For me, probably
Kiss
Def Leppard
Van Hagar
Twisted Sister

Why are there only three in your list?

I'm not sure I understand this thread. Can you explain a bit more? The four biggest, most influential, innovative and prolific bands, in our opinion?

haha,  accidentally posted early while I was still thinking about the 4th

No real rules, I guess who you'd condiser to be the 4 big time bands you'd want to see together.

Can be newer bands, more traditional bands, whatever.

Just get sick of hearing about the big 4 metal bands that don't represent me or my music in any way.

Def Leppard

AC/DC

Kiss

Guns n Roses

 

Only seen Def Leppard live and the rest are bands I'd like to get the chance to see before it's too late. They played a big part in making hard rock so great.

IF I was going to choose a wish list big 4 of bands that I would want to see live together (or at all for that matter) it would be:

 

Spread Eagle

Warrior Soul

Junkyard

Pantera

 

I'd toss in Teeze/Roughouse, Kix, Saxon and Heavy Pettin' for an all day sucker.

Dokken 

Van Hagar

Y&T

Tesla 

That 4th spot could change almost hourly (Stryper, Def Leppard, Great White, and Brother  Firetribe were all considered)  but that top 3 is concrete!  :banger:

Aerosmith and Y&T are great shouts. 

Y&T is in my top 5 favourite bands of all time. I didn't include them in my list as I went for the behemoths of the golden era. 

Whitesnake is also of the greats, but I omitted them because I saw them live this past summer.

If I go to "smaller" bands who made the scene what it was and that I'd give an arm to see, I would love to get to an Axe concert.

I'm so dumb... I still don't really get the thread. The bands that are big in my world that I would most love to see in their original form;

Cauterize

Danger Danger

Waltham (playing USA!USA!USA! songs in their set)

Fate

 

But the four "popular" bands I'd love to see;

Danger Danger

Poison

Harem Scarem

Fate

Don;t think I've ever heard of Fate

You should. Check out 'Scratch N' Stiff' tomorrow. ;) I'd be amazed if you can't dig it.

Probably Dokken, Queensryche, Skid Row and Van Hagar. All band members are still alive, so it is technically possible.

Is Don Dokkens voice still alive though?

Mine are all old-school (Old's Kool) from my grade school days through my teens.  These are the bands that far and away I played the most and or had the most influence.  Difficult to narrow it down to four.  This is chronological for me.

KISS

SCORPIONS

DEF LEPPARD

BON JOVI

 

Edit... I really need to get Motley Crue in there.  KISS was so influential to me from 1978 - 1984... but Motley took things to a new level.  Man, I need that 5th. band!

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.
