La revista Rolling Stone dio a conocer la lista de las mejores 100 rolas de Heavy Metal de la historia, desde Black Sabbath a Scorpions, de Metallica a Slipknot, o de Sunset Strip a Escandinavia.
En 1970, Black Sabbath evocó de manera convincente la verdadera esencia del mal con el pesado riff de guitarra de tres acordes que abre la canción “Black Sabbath”, consagrando el primer triturador de heavy metal puro, y las ondas se han extendido con virulencia desde entonces. Judas Priest se sintonizó con las melodías oscuramente irregulares de Sabbath para crear sus propias miniepopeyas intrincadas y transgresoras de la ley, Metallica aceleró los tempos de Priest para dar casos de latigazo cervical a los headbangers, bandas de pelo como Mötley Crüe y Quiet Riot arreglaron la música para MTV, y nu -mutantes de metal como Korn y Slipknot le dieron un toque sombrío post-rock alternativo y hip-hop. Al mismo tiempo, sus verdaderos creyentes han creado ramificaciones globales extremas como el death metal, el doom metal y el black metal.
Así que ponte tus chalecos de batalla, levanten sus cuernos y tengan un collarín a mano mientras Rolling Stone hace la cuenta regresiva de las 100 mejores canciones de heavy metal de todos los tiempos.
