Come on, I wouldn't vote for any of them.
AC/DC were considered a POP band down under.

well well..
This thread wont quit ever!.. Not with a header that much depending on personal taste, I mean, its HARD to get objective on this?
my 2 cents:
JIMI HENDRIX washes the slate clean up to seventies, including close second Deep Purple's "In rock", whether you're digging tone OR heavyness.
Then came Metallica, Big band and good too, but the guitarsound isn't as screaming, and heavy as CARCASS's I mean, that sound is Ugly! ..even by today's standards. If someone thinks all metalbands lack mids you're idiots. ENTOMBED in "Morning star" and many other albums sound great.
Devin Townsend's sound, solo or in S.Y.L is one Hellish wall of guitar.
But for those to vote, I'd go for Sepultura.
"dangerous" is too oblivious to vote about, so I'm votin heaviest.

But yeah, SRV was evil like a voodoo snake slithering into your eyesocket. Totally different than the metal assaults of the ones in the poll, but no less "dangerous" for sure!

OK WHO THE HELL WOULD VOTE FOR AC/DC? None of the other bands would have their tones if it wasn't for Metallica either. HEll! We wouldnt have alot of our metal today either! They revolutionised the sound and style of heavy metal. They even put an end to the spandex. Ofcourse they began going downhill when Bob Rock took over but 80s Metallica owns. Theres no way you can say the same about AC/DC. Yea they have nice tunes but they never broke barriers, they never experimented and took risks. Metallica clearly has the most dangerous guitar sound!

Most of Metallica sounds and riffs were all ripped off from Sabbath. There wouldn't be Metal today if it wasn't for Sabbath, hell Iommi basically invented it....light gauge strings, tuned down, etc ...NOBODY did it before him...
of course I like early Metallica.....'Kill'em All' is my fav. AWESOME CD!...and Hetfield's 'guitar mentor' is Tony Iommi...so, it's understandable...

.. I just heard Gary Moore's "The end of the World" for the first time..His tone during the verses is phenomenal..It sounds like hes playing a strat w single coils but its heavy as hell....And btw Metallica is the most overrated band in history bar none..If i hear one more boring Hammet solo w that annoying gd wah pedal im gonna friggin hang myself w a bedsheet..

Maybe another poll or a family tree of "heavy" ness would be a fun thing to post... Which I have no idea on how to do...
For example "What created the idea of Pantera?"
sabbath > maiden > metallica > Pantera > ???
There was that history of Metal documentary, can't remember the name, which had this fun topic on the offshoots of metal, english metal to speed metal, which spawned doom and death metal... anyone seen that?

C'mon, AC/DC are a great band, nice guitar sound but the biggest and most dangerous of them all? I don't think so. Pantera redefined the nasty guitar sound with a polished tone that was very tight and ultra heavy. Metallica also had some great tones, their most intense was on the Justice For All album IMO. I prefer old Metallica to Pantera but when it comes to big tone, Pantera wins hands down.
Other worthy mention are Prong, Entombed (Left Hand Path - the craziest most over-distorted tone I've heard), Exodus, Sepultura... and for that over processed sound, how about Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson (Mechanical Animals)?
A good pole would be who has created the most original guitar sound or who has the best lead tone (genre specific)...

I don't think that "big" and "dangerous" are neccessarily the same thing when it comes to guitar tone.
For example, that Creed guy gets a pretty "big" thick sound, but it's about as "dangerous" (or interesting for that matter) as a sippy cup of warm milk.
Greg Ginn from Black Flag, on the other hand, has a really chaotic, fucked up, equipment-on-the-verge-of-breaking sound, I think that it's pretty much the most "dangerous" guitar tone I can think of.
