Who do you think were looked over as bad-ass musicians ?
1) Wolf Hoffmann - Accept - Believe me... someone else on this forum may put him up high on this list as well. Wolf was/is a God on guitar.
2) Phil Rudd - AC/DC - If any drummers out here think Rudd era AC/DC is an easy "starter" then you are wrong. He is an "in the pocket" drummer, but sometimes his "simplicity" fools you. He is doing magic behind that set. If you listen close enough, you will hear stuff you never heard before.
3) Francis Bucholz - Scorpions - The Scorps are known for the twin guitar attack and the vocals of Klaus, but Francis was a monster bassist who knew when to play in the pocket and back up the guitars and when to unload a riff or two.
4) Tony Martin - Black Sabbath - When you have to follow Ozzie and Ronnie James, it is tough to get respect, but Tony Martin is as good of a vocalist as there has ever been in metal music.
Honorable mention........ Jorn Viggo Lofstat - Pagans Mind - I mentioned "oldschool" guys on this post, but I can never make a post that involves a guitarist without mentioning Mr. Lofstat. He may quietly be the best guitarist I have ever seen in my life.
