If you could resurrect one metal god...

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Freddie Mercury

Fucking yes!

Robbin Crosby and Steve Clark for me aswell

 

[Zephyrus]

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

Yet you haven't heard a single Bathory song. How can you not pick Euronymous?

 

[Cythraul]

Euronymous wasn't all that great.

 

[Zephyrus]

Yes but he still had much potential influence on black metal when he died. Quorthon died over a decade after his major contributions.

 

[Krilons Resa]

out of those...quorthon

 

[Under The Oak]

Randy Rhoads. All the others were long past their glory days when they died. I doubt they could've given us anything better than what we have.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Yeah the young dudes who still had 10+ years of fresh music still in them get this.

 

[entanglement]

Out of those, I think Chuck Schuldiner was the only one who didn't 'leave work undone'.

I voted Quorthon because IMO,
Bathory > Death > Mayhem > Pantera.

 

[DeadlySinners]

one word....dime

 

[genocide roach]

Yes but he still had much potential influence on black metal when he died. Quorthon died over a decade after his major contributions.

blah. mayhem sucked. though somehow mayhem managed to influence a bunch of mediocre bands.

and i dont think he had anything more to contribute. hell, everything he wrote sounded the same anyways.
~gR~

 

[black blood]

BLASPHEMY!

 

[genocide roach]

OPINION! hahahaha

honestly. i never caught on to mayhem. i had DMDS for a while, couldnt get into it and sold it off for porn.
~gR~

 

[TalesOfTerror]

Quorthon.
Though the Bon Scott and Rhoads mentions are cool.
I'd really like to bring back Reagan so I could choke him with a fistfull of jelly beans.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Quorthon; he's the only one I really respect fully.

Euronymus' band was pretty bad anyway, in my opinion...strictly musically speaking. I appreciate their heavy, heavy, widespread influence, but just don't like 'em.

 

[Susperia]

I would want my man Quorthon back. I miss you baby. =(

 

[genocide roach]

I would want my man Quorthon back. I miss you baby. =(

whoa, i didnt know you liked metal!
~gR~

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

QUORTHON

.

 

[Pessimism]

Euronymous is by far the least talented guitar player in that list anyway.

I voted for Quorthon

 

[Astrum]

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

Only if he was in jail at that point, otherwise it would be pointless.

btw to add to some of the stuff on this page, I would pick Euronymous not because he was the best musician, but because of his impact in and on the black metal scene.

Quorthon is overrated.

 

[Blue_Jay]

Quorthon is overrated.

Quorthon influenced a big number of bands to sing about vikings. Considering the number, Quorthan is easily the most influencitial of all the dead metal musicians atm. He's not overrated at all imo in fact he has released some of the best metal band material ever made.
