we are not responsible for any neck
injuries you might sustained throughout
this video down welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 head banging songs
for this list we’re focusing on the best
songs that get metal fans into the mood
however we’re not excluding some of the
more laid-back anthems that may seem
conservative but still retain that
certain head-banging quality excuse me
is Greg here
number 10 psychosocial Slipknot
right from the jump this
grammy-nominated track whips you across
the face with an explosive intro at this
point some head bangers may already be
experiencing a dizzying sensation even
before Slipknot begins laying down the
business about raging against whatever
they seem to be raging about
hey when it comes to head banging the
lyrics are part of equation but it’s the
sound that plays a crucial role as part
of the soundtrack for punisher war zone
and one half of a rather innovative
mashup his track bears a name and metal
aesthetic that bangers can appreciate
psychosocial baby
number nine Holy Diver dia laced with
the metaphorical references the diamonds
Tigers and the midnight sea this song
from a former Black Sabbath member has
all the musical bravado of the 80s
charged by the gritty vocals of do
himself diamonds the eyes of a captain
the back comparatively speaking it’s not
quite as psychotic as some of the stuff
you’ll hear today but even so Holy Diver
remains a classic and better yet the
beat allows for some easygoing banging
that doesn’t quite require looking like
a madman
number eight down with the sickness
disturbed Oh
drums whispering guitar the intro to
this early 20th century classic all
leads up to one a conic phrase sound
let’s get this out of the way
the lyrics are down with the sickness
detail a mother abusing her child which
is certainly no laughing matter
however the concept lays the foundation
for the overall sickness of the saw
this track just finds away into your
soul with lead singer David Draiman and
company and complete control of the
headbanger ball Oh
number seven smells like teen spirit
nirvana
regardless of how one interprets the
lyrical content of this alternative
classic it will forever kick your ass
given the five minutes of pure intensity
part of the magic comes with the
historical aspect of the song as most
headbangers easily identify with the
opening riff but if aliens ever show up
from outer space and they hear smells
like teen spirit
well you better believe they’ll be
banging too as even extraterrestrial
should be able to feel Cobain’s sheer
angst
there’s a reason the group has such a
legendary status they were able to rock
out like no other
all while bringing an emotional edge
that will burn right into your core
number six Chop Suey system of a down
police just weeks prior to the 9/11
attacks this alt metal anthem will mess
with your entire system first you get
the drawn-out opening which is certainly
bangable then system up down gets down
and dirty with Serj Tankian spouting off
staccato lyrics like a boss from a
lyrical perspective Chop Suey represents
the legacies of individuals after they
die and let’s just be thankful for a
tempo that allows bangers the occasional
brick
because you don’t want to be that dude
that leaves the world due to excessive
thrashing
number five song to blur
before there was gorillas there was late
90s damon albarn delivering one of the
most recognized lyrics of the decade
sure it’s not your typical banger and
blur isn’t your typical banger bent but
song 2 always gets people in the mood
stop it stop whether you’re at a house
party soccer pitch business meeting or
pop concert it’s just got that
definitive late 90s sound and with
leiris aimed at the grunge scene at the
time it’s easy to get into the groove
and at least bang it out just a little
number four aces hi Iron Maiden
every once in a while you’ll hear a
metal song about demons goblins or god
knows what but here’s an early 80s
number that takes it back to world war 2
if you’re a die-hard Maiden fan well
then you already know that aces high
details a clash of a British pilot and
the German Luftwaffe but if you’re that
guy or gal that identifies this song
with only head banging then you might
just be suffering from brain damage and
unable to fully appreciate the history
lesson
hey it’s all good rock on
number three raining blood Slayer
we all know that someone who never stops
talking about revolution and wants to
overthrow the government but have you
ever heard them talk about overthrowing
heaven itself
maybe not unless you’re part of the bass
Slayer as this Redrum production will
get you all ramped up and in the right
frame of mind for some retro style head
banging
as part of the aptly title album rain in
blood this Slayer track requires a full
five minutes of banger commitment
number two walk Pantera
when a bank releases an album called
Vulgar Display of power one should
probably anticipate a little chaos and
back in the early 90s
Pantera essentially made their fans
freak the eff out when they drop this
little ditty lead singer Phil Anselmo
has actually been on record about the
essence of walk which means this quote
take your fucking attitude and take a
walk with that end quote and on that
note well you know what to do next
wait we mean you’re supposed to headbang
not take a walk duh
please remain seated until the end of
the clip
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
Oh
well
yeah
number one creeping death Metallica
if you grew up a headbanger well then
you’re probably all too familiar with
parental or teacher scoldings
however there’s nothing quite like a
thrashing from the Angel of Death
himself back in 84 Metallica took to the
actual Bible to chronicle the plagues of
Egypt and while one may not remember the
details of the narrative you may just
remember James Hetfield snarling vocals
on creeping death
this track will literally scare the crap
right out of you and we simply wouldn’t
have it any other way
so do you agree with our selections what
is your favorite head-banging song
