[metalheadjohn666]

How the fuck is that guy from disturbed a shredder?

He isn't. It's just that Mainstream Hammer know nothing about anything.

As far as I understand you have to submit your votes by clicking the link on the bottom and then you have to enter your name, mobile phone number and mail address. So it's one vote per person.

 

[SteveMCsteve]

but not sure if all the votes will count

when i submitted the same email adress and hone #
it didn;t say anything like "you have already voted"

 

[Lussi]

I voted twice. Hope it will help...

[spirit crusher]

[metalliste]

Why? Alexi pwns both of them, and theoretically the best should win. Although tastes are what really rule in this contest, or the dude from Avenge And Sevenfold would have never won
