    Motley Crue and Bon Jovi being 7 and 6 is just plain disrespectful
  • @djkilla2803
    Motley Crue should have at least been top 3
  • @swarzn8r
    Most of these weren’t even hard rock, and Mötley Crüe should have been way higher.
  • @dchenkin02
    Ozzy belongs on a heavy metal list. How do you include Ozzy but leave off Metallica, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
  • @SonnyBallz101
    Mötley Crüe my favorite but probably Bcs I just watched the dirt so I’m obsessed with them now

    Def Leppard was my first concert. It was them and Journey opened by Cheap Trick. Def Leppard is kick ass live!

    Van Halen And AC/DC should've been farther up the scale...
