Metal God! Who's yours?

[DE]

Mikael Akerfeldt is THE God. Nobody is more talented and clever than him.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Mikael Akerfeldt, Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P), James Hetfield Circa 1988

EDIT- Throw Jeff Loomis in the mix aswell \m/

 

[Djm]

I don't like the whole 'god' thing, but if there was someone, it'd be Arjen Lucassen, even though he's not the most metal person in the world.

 

[Domoritus]

Quorthon

 

[Minion520]

Mikael Akerfelt and Devin Townsend

 

[Donnie Darko]

Mikael Akerfeldt
Ishahn

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Rob Halford
Kai Hansen
Every person who has ever been in Grave Digger

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

The corret answer is Rob Halford, obviously. With KK Downing and Glenn Tipton helping.

In terms of people whose work I personally love, Quorthon, KK Warslut, the Bobby Blitz/DD Verni team, and Kai Hansen.

 

[Death Aflame]

Chuck Schuldiner
Mikael Akerfeldt
Dan Swanö

Although imo, calling any muscian a "god" is a stretch. These guys are just masters of their craft

 

[Thraxz]

Oh.... now I have to rethink mine after remembering exactly how awesome Schuldinger and Kia Hansen was/is respectively.

 

[Cythraul]

Garm, Jon Nodveidt, Ihsahn, Samoth, Varg Vikernes, Hellhammer, Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Trey Azagthoth, Karl Sanders, everybody in Atheist.

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Mine is either Micheal Romeo or Seth Quorthon {RIP}....
Leaning Quorthon at the moment..

Seth? ... never heard Quorthon being called Seth.... anyways mine would be Randy Rhoads and perhaps Lemmy... I dont know who else will be on my list off hand but those 2 would be on the top of the list especially RR... also much like other people i been admiring Quorthon lately myself... just recently purchased BloodFireDeath and its a very good album.. Maybe someone else I would put on my list are Bruce Dickinson...

 

[Under The Oak]

Anyone from Manowar, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath
Chuck Schuldiner
Matt Barlow
Mikael Akerfeldt
Rob Halford
Ronnie James Dio, aka "The Voice Of Metal"
Marty Friedman
"The Unknown god" (In case I forgot someone)

 

[Tool]

Lemmy & Dio are the Metal Gods.

 

[Under The Oak]

Aww, shit! how could I forget Lemmy??

 

[byrne]

Chuck Schuldiner and Dave Mustaine are in a league of their own.

Oh also add Danzig as a favourite artist. Metal or not, he still owns.
