Explicit lyrics breakdown:
Slappy Doo Hoo wrote:Metallica. Probably "Master of Puppets." Not aware of any excessive swearing in this one. The song quoted below is on another album.
Black Sabbath. They have a greatest hits cd. Lyrics ok for the most part that I can think of.
Led Zeppelin(metal? But best rock band ever to take stage). Lyrics ok.
Pantera, namely the album "Vulgar Display of Power." Some explicit lyrics.
Iron Maiden, also have a greatest hits. Lyrics ok for the most part, subject matter is stupid satan stuff, but a little kid won't have a clue.
AC/DC, Back in Black. Lyrics ok.
Not so much "metal," but great albums:
Guns n Roses, Appetite for Destruction. Some explicit lyrics...musically great, great album.
Van Halen, 1984. Lyrics are clean...great album.
Motley Crue, Too Fast For Love....lyrics are ok.
No, speed metal is just all very fast metal...not ballad/guitar rock, which is more along the lines of GNR, Motley Crue, Van Halen, who are, again, not really "heavy metal." Metal influenced, but not full out metal. Full out metal would be Pantera, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, ect.
