Yeah, let's totally disregard the fact that he has single-handedly lead one of the most influential Metal bands ever, created what is considered one of the best (if not THE best) album in Metal history, and the most notorious fucking beast out there.

You really believe Mustaine is worth the title?
I mean Holy Wars is f***ing awesome, but god? I disagree.
And I really think this place belongs to Iommi as the greater metal god, could be Dio (being Italian for God). But it's just my opinion.
And I don't see metal as some angelic thing, more like a Greek or Nordic pantheon (not that this really matter,:D)
I'm gonna have to agree with you here Mustaine is not a "god" persay I will say hes fucking fantastic and I am a huge fan of megadeth, but their newer stuff is garbage while Iommi and even Sabbath's new stuff (yes sabbath is recordign a new album and 3 of the songs are on the sabbath dio years album) are still quite good. I personally say the gods of metal are Iron Maiden for the sheer number of bands that quote them as their largest influence including but not limited to huge acts like In Flames, Children of Bodom, Opeth, and many more. Not to mention Iron Maiden has always ruled. I'll admit the days of Blaze Bailey (sp?) were a little lack luster but still contained fantastic songs like Man on the Edge and The Clansman (which is about my people!) But take a listen to songs like Brave New World, Dance of Death, No More Lies, Reincarnation of Bengiman Breeg, The Pilgrim, or Rainmaker. These are soem examples of their latest material and it is still all fresh even though they've pumped out 14 studio albums. Not to mention Iron Maiden is the best live band I have ever seen. they have just as much energy as they did in their hey day (I am to young to have lived back then but I have DVDs) and they played a 20 song main set pluss a 3 sogn encore when I saw them this summer you cannot tell me that a group of 6 guys over 50 playing that set that well is not godly!
Also part of the reason Megadeth was so damn good for their best CD's is that they had Marty Friedman as the other guitarist and he happens to be on almost every top 25 metal guitarist list I have ever seen most times within the top 10 as well.

Sure, Iron Maiden is one hell of a band, but if you choose one single member from the band, compared to Iommi, he's not worth the title.

He deserves it, hands down.
