In a Spinal Tap-esque twist, they spent most of their career trying to hold onto a drummer.

AC/DC, Alice Cooper, the Rolling Stones and Van Halen compete for your vote.

Metal giants are showing no signs of slowing.

These rock stars saw the future, decades before it arrived.

W.A.S.P. dedicated most of their set to songs from their first four albums.

It turned out to be Rob Halford's last show with the band for 14 years.

The band brought two '70s classics back into the set for the first time in seven years.

Bassist Ian Hill says the band could continue with a new lineup in the future.

Only the genre's biggest and boldest innovators can lay claim to the title.
