UM Hall of Fame April '16 Edition

[Baroque]

I've handed over the reigns of this thread to H.P. Lovecraft, and I think he'll do a splendid job with the Hall of Fame. He has some ideas to improve things also. /salute

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Alright you goldbricking mothertruckers, first things first, and there is to be no bitching in the lobby about the lack of concessions, the dumpster out back has all you need if you can't handle it, there's no such thing as Vin Diesel having acting chops, and last, and most importantly of all... YOU ALL OWE ME FOR ONE JELLY DONUT!

 

[suckerleaf]

Enough of these Darkthrone/Venom arguments and on to more important things like why Dio hasn't made the cut.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I hope they will sometime, the band more than deserves the cut as does nearly every band Ronnie's ever been in, including Rainbow.

 

[Baroque]

Ronnie Dio & the Prophets probably deserves a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame too.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Couldn't agree more, The Elves/Elf too.

 

[CiG]

Fuck that shit, hahaha.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fuck that shit, hahaha.

What shit?

 

[CiG]

Oh wait Baroque said "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" I read it wrong.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Cassette proving himself to be the paragon of English literacy as always.

 

[CiG]

Beer and baked beans is my own only priority.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

As is the case for all great linguists and English professors.

Just finished tallying the votes, hope I didn't make too many mistakes. We've got a rather large winning class this year, and a damn good one too. Stay tuned for when I post the results at midnight. You have until then to notify me of any alterations in your votes or, for those who haven't yet participated, to submit a ballot. This is some cool shit, keep it up.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Alright. The votes are tallied, and the bands and artists have been selected. This is the class of April 2016 for the Ultimate Metal Hall of Fame!

Celtic Frost - (7 votes)
Fates Warning - (7 votes)
Dio - (6 votes)
Venom - (5 votes)
Mercyful Fate - (5 votes)
Morbid Angel - (5 votes)
Mayhem - (5 votes)
Manowar - (5 votes)
Death - (5 votes)
Voivod - (5 votes)
Candlemass - (5 votes)

 

[Phylactery]

You're not putting all of them in are you? Seems far too many. Maybe just include the ones that got 5 votes and above? Even though it means At the Gates miss out, I think it's enough.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

I wasn't sure about it either. The way it's been done so far is to have first through fifth place. As far as I can tell, these bands all tied at these particular numbers. It is an extravagant amount, so maybe we should. I'll have to think on it.

 

[Burkhard]

Just a slight correction: Candlemass also got 5 votes.

I don't think that it makes sense to add all of those. It's probably best to stick with the ones that got over a certain number of votes.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fair enough. I'll remove all the ones that got under 5 votes (as per Phylactery's suggestion). I think if I add this many it'll just take the momentum and excitement out of the game too early.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Just a slight correction: Candlemass also got 5 votes.

Thanks.
