*RETURN HIGH FIVE*

I really don't like his voice and he's a total douche bag from what I've seen.

Fair enough if you don't like his voice, to each their own. But you couldn't be further from the truth in labeling him a douche.

Also, Dave wins for Jus Oborn.

And another legend who we can't forget:

Mike Alexander

 

[D.Ingram]

Haha man I made it onto the list!

Also, Mike shouldn't even need to be mentioned. he automatically gets put on the list without anyone even having to point it out.

uke:

Surely you at least need to play metal to be a metal god?

 

[metallicdistort]

Ones which I don't think I've seen mentioned yet:

Bill Steer (helped to define grindcore AND melodic death metal)
Lee Dorrian (one of the great legends of grindcore AND doom)
Mick Harris (for helping to make the blastbeat what it is today, and thus pushing the boundaries of extreme metal)
Dan Lilker (Anthrax, Brutal Truth, SOD, Nuclear Assault, Venomous Concept etc)
Kevin Sharp (for being so badass)
Jesse Pintado (World Downfall, Harmony Corruption, Utopia Banished, Fear, Emptiness, Despair etc, nuff said)
Geezer Butler
Scott Burns (for producing so many defining albums)
Phil Anselmo
Rex Brown
Johnny Morrow
Pepper Keenan

Could go on for days...

Me

Your work with Benediction and Bolt Thrower was great, but I don't know if I would consider you a metal legend

 

[D.Ingram]

The final boss shall not be questioned by the likes of you!

 

[Keenan]

Keenan

Stories of his talent could go on for days...

Why thank you!

 

[metallicdistort]

Don't remember saying that, but seeing as you quoted me, I must've!

 

[Podgie]

Props to Pogie for AlexWebster. Man is a fucking legend.

Also, Steve DiGiorgio

Oh shit, I can't believe I forgot DiGiorgio!

I don't want to offend anyone, so I won't name any names, but in my opinion there's lots of bass players who get so much more praise than they deserve.

Steve DiGiorgio is not one of them. He blows 99.99% of metal bass players out of the water.

 

[Covet Chaos]

If Steve DiGiorgio is mentioned then we can't forget Roger Patterson (RIP), Tony Choy and Sean Malone.

 

[Keenan]

Roger Patterson

I'd throw Paul Masvidal in there as well.

Don't you dare slag off Steve Harris...

 

[Podgie]

I wouldn't dare! Steve Harris is one of the greatest, if not the greatest.
