Battle of the bands

[Slammed]

The bands worthy of taking points away will fall by the way side as an easy vote throughout the rounds.
I'm going to sign up with another 10 alts so I can vote for Anthrax just to annoy people!

 

[Allfader]

I have time to waste at work, why not.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Very true.

As I alluded to earlier, I was thinking of breaking up the tournament into bands by genre. I was thinking of running with a Thrash metal comp to kick things off, as most metal-heads are into Thrash.

Essentially, just to test the waters & see if this will gather any traction, we'll turn this thread into a nominations thread. Ideally it'd be good to get a list of 16 bands to compete in the initial competition, but can loosen the belt & allow 32 bands in if there are enough people on here who are keen to see this up & running.

To get the ball rolling, I will personally list a few bands that should (in my opinion anyway) receive automatic qualification...

The USA "Big Four" (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax)

The Teutonic "Big Four" (Kreator, Tankard, Destruction, Sodom)

As well as Testament!

So... this gives us a list of nine bands that are currently in the running. Now we just need at least seven more to complete the tournament bracket. So please nominate some bands if you're down like Charlie Brown & we'll get back in the game like Jack LaLane.

sepultura, exodus, dark angel, coroner, overkill and voivod should probably be locks if we're picking the most iconic bands. maybe watchtower or razor or morbid saint for the last spot? might be someone i'm forgetting though. edit: i guess artillery or vio-lence are also candidates.

i guess we should pick a limit of 16 bands and go from there?

When you say battle of the bands.....are we talking like an album vs. album basis, or as whole who is the better band?




Razor
Sacrifice
Voivod
Dark Angel
Whiplash
Nuclear Assault
D.R.I.
Sepultura
Sodom
Destruction
Deathrow
Devastation
Protector
Morbid Saint
Num Skull
Rigor Mortis
Anacrusis
Sadus
Demolition Hammer
Incubus
Ripping Corpse

Was going to try to just pick bands that have at least 3 albums I like, but that didn't work out so whatever

Happy for this to be the case. 16 bands is plenty. But if enough people nominate we might be able to stretch it to 32.

Bands as a whole. Although album vs album is a pretty cool idea too.

Apart from Slaughter, all of those bands have already qualified.

Any others you can think of that should make the cut that haven't already been nominated?

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Added Anacrusis to my list, gives them 3 votes now

 

[jimmy101]

Nice. Must have missed them receiving two votes. Will add them to the list.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Whiplash has 2 votes, so does Sacrifice
