Holy crap, where do I even start? -Children of Bodom are a black metal band, NOT speed metal.

-Helloween are power metal, NOT speed metal.

-And where the fuck is Pantera?

Children of Bodom is about as black metal as Linkin Park. Have you ever heard black metal music? As for Helloween, their first 2 releases (Helloween EP and Walls of Jericho) were speed not power and this why they are part of the list. Pantera is groove/half-thrash. I suggest you learn something about the metal subgenres. Pasajero 18:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Children of Bodom is Extreme Power Metal. Stratovarius are indeed speedy, but they're Power Metal.

Plus, I agree with the part, you should learn a bit more about the metal subgenres. Children of Bodom is nowhere near BM. I also added Venom, "Black Metal" (the album) is clearly a Speed metal record with "Black Metal" lyrics. (to say, darker lyrics). Speed Metal is an abstract name, it should be used with caution. I don't think Children of Bodom are a Speed metal band too, so i removed them. --Darksteel 10:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I added W.A.S.P. and Twisted Sister due to their early stuff being Speed Metal with a Glam look, specifically Twisted Sister's "Under the Blade" album and W.A.S.P.'s debut album. Also, Queensryche's early stuff is Speed Metal, specifically their 1983 EP and added Savatage as well because they were Speed Metal until "Hall of the Mountain King."

Added Lamb of God.

[edit] What about DragonForce?

Should DragonForce be considered speed metal? --Zouavman Le Zouave 19:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
