If you could resurrect one metal god...

[zabu of nΩd]

Some of the greatest metal musicians ever known have been cut down before their time. Let's say you were given the magical ability to restore life and health to one of these fallen lords of metal... Who would it be?

I'm curious also to hear people's reasons for their choice, whether it be that said musician was in one of their favorite bands, or that the musician was in the prime of his career, or simply that he was a great guy.

Note: I realize there are probably 999999 other dead metal musicians I've forgotten, but to my knowledge these are the most well-known and well-loved.

Layne Staley. You know he wanted one more dose and never got it because he was dead.

long live alice in chains!

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Dimebag, because I dont care for the others, and Pantera Home Videos is the best thing ever.

When I first saw the pantera videos could not stop laughing.

If you pay attention you see one of the guys from crowbar with green face paint smashing shit, plus trent from nine inch nails smashes shit also. hilarious!!

Either Euro or Dead . Because they are creators of the early Norwegian scene.

Miezsco Talarczyk. I'm sure there was much more still to come from Nasum, it's a shame they had to end so prematurely.

Yeah, I'm on the Quorthon boat. His music is far more meaningful to me than any of the others, and at the time of his death he was finally starting to get serious again with the epic style - and even taking it in new directions. It actually upsets me quite a bit.

 

[Zephyrus]

Euronymous of course!

 

[cookiecutter]

Quorthon because he seemed liked the coolest guy of them all.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

chuck

 

[Beard_of_Odin]

Euronymous. Hands down. I think Jon Nödtveidt should be on that list though, and if he were, he would get my vote.

And I am bound to catch a bunch of crap for this, but Dimebag doesn't deserve to be on that list, he never did anything special. Pantera was a pretty mediocre band.

 

[Cythraul]

QUORTHON

 

[Death Animal]

Freddie Mercury. . or Bon Scott
But in that list Chuck Schuldiner coss I like hes music most.

 

[Astrum]

I'm going to say Euronymous, but that's only because I can't bust Varg out of jail.

edit-fuck i voted for chuck by accident

Does that mean you would kill Varg only to resurrect him afterwards?
