Metal MVP

[Santox]

Of recent times give me your fucking MVP (if you will) of the metal scene. Be it through side-projects, producing or just impact on the scene who fucks with you like no one else does? :kaioken:

[MetalThrashingMad]

Dave Mustaine, his songwriting just strikes me as, I can't find a word for it. Although there are few people who like his vocals, I think some songs really kick ass.

[BeastOfCarrion]

what the fuck is an MVP?

[MetalThrashingMad]

what the fuck is an MVP?
I guess he means your favorite songwriter/artist.

[Sodomaniac]

MVP ?? please you use words nearly everybody understand ! :rolleyes:

[Eternal_Sorrow]

MVP = Most Valuable Person, so to realte to his question name your favourtie singer/songwriter!!

Mine would have to be Anders Nystrom of Katatonia and Bloodbath, he's also has the side project Diabolical Masquerade and and he shows he can write amazing music with the side project!!

[Mordor]

Ozzy, mainly because his voice is so original and distinctive

[P§ÝÇHÕ]

In the last five years or so, nobody really stands out in the metal genrè to me.

Take it back ten years, and nothing extremely special still shows up on the radar.

20 years brings us to the age of Metallica, Pantera, Iced Earth et al.

And before that there was Black Sabbath.

The progression to me will always be:

Black Sabbath -> Metallica -> whatever could be next

Nothing's come along yet to reach for the throne.

Sorry, it wasn't funny the first time.

[ShredIsNotDead]

lol that reminds me of the other day. Somebody asked me what music i was into and i said death metal. They were like "ya me too i just love slipknot!"

Anyways mine would have to be Alexi Laiho :p

[Cybris]

i'd have to say...Andreas Kisser of Sepultura, he is not well known but if you have ever heard one of his guitar solos then it is sheer brilliance and originality using string bends like noone ive ever seen before. My guitar teacher right now taught Andreas and even has a dedication in thier albums...
Andreas could definately be the reason why i am a metal fan...apart from alexi laiho :beer:

Chuck Shuldiner, as cliche as that sounds...

[MetalThrashingMad]

Did you kick his ass?

[BeastOfCarrion]

Barnes WAS pretty important
Napalm Death lads
Obituary lads
Deicide lads
Metalica lads (back in the day)
Ronnie James Dio :p

basically anyone who was groundbreakers for any genera

[MetalThrashingMad]

Haha RJD is the man.

[DeathCS]

Sorry, it wasn't funny the first time.

Heh, I was just really fucking bored.

[DeathCS]

Well really one of my biggest influences was Jack Owen BUT he had to leave :(

[Undying_Hatred]

Fredrik Nordstrom, even though he looks like a fucking faggot. At The Gates, In Flames, Arch Enemy, The Crown, The Haunted, and Zyklon cant be wrong.

[P§ÝÇHÕ]

Yeah, LoLz!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!

It's getting old, dipshit.

[Undying_Hatred]

Its already been said, Dipshit.

[Bones98]

yea, same here.. Except some guy said Rob ZOmbie and Marilyn Manson is black metal.

[Transient]

attention psycho:stop being a tool

rob zombie-hellbilly deluxe was the first album i ever bought

[Undying_Hatred]

attention psycho:stop being a tool

Likewise.

[P§ÝÇHÕ]

My guitar teacher right now taught Andreas and even has a dedication in thier albums...
Andreas could definately be the reason why i am a metal fan...apart from alexi laiho :beer:

Andreas Kisser is definitely one of the most underrated guitarists out there. It continues to beat me how he is not listed as one of the better metal guitarists there is. To me, Igor Cavalera falls into the same loop when it comes to drumming. He's fantastic, but is continuously ignored when it comes to listing (even) good drummers.

attention psycho:stop being a tool

Thankyou for the compliment. I feel like listening to 'Jimmy' now and masturbating to pictures of Maynard.

[johnmansley]

I thought I was the only one...

[younguitarist]

i got to say alexi laiho.good singer and guitarist

[DameFraMorkum]

Nokturnal Mortum

[MetalThrashingMad]

rob zombie-hellbilly deluxe was the first album i ever bought
I'm making a thread out of that.

[Undying_Hatred]

Thanks for informing us ahead of time.

[DEAD]

Bill Steer.

[Transient]

undying hatred-you go ahead and shut the hell up

why havent i seen any votes for isahn or however you spell his name

[P§ÝÇHÕ]

I thought I was the only one...

I swear Pete, I didn't cum on you.

[DeathCS]

This one kid that I know was like " Yeah I like death metal"
So I asked him what his favorite bands were.
He said " Tool and Metallica"
That kid is a tool.

[Dyldo]

Thanks for informing us ahead of time.

Yeah, so I can close it! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Anywho, back on topic.

[ShredIsNotDead]

Did you kick his ass?

you mean her ass??

And another MVP for me (death metal) would be Trev from Black Dahlia Murder. I picked up the cd "unhallowed" the other day and his lyrics are my personal favorite out of anything. His singing is also that perfect (for me) scream, but can also get into a low growl, and all the while has this awesome emotion in his scream, pick up the cd its great.

[Transient]

booo, im so sick of hearing about those guys, they are like at the gates only faster and with a different vocalist. all of the metalcore sounds the same to me

anyways, they have one cd,definately not an mvp

mikael akerfeldt is definately one:opeth,bloodbath,katatonia

[ShredIsNotDead]

is Black Dahlia Murder metalcore???? I guess i can't like them any more cuz they arent "cool" :rolleyes:

[Transient]

im pretty sure it is, whatever it is i dont really like it

and listen to whatever, i dont want to change your mind

[Superjointed]

DIMEBAG by far.. Pantera look how far they came every album is pure brilliance especially with Phil... Its a choice between PHIL & DIME. Superjoint Ritual, Down, Crowbar,Pantera and all awsome and Damageplan is fucking true moshing music you can just tell DIME's riffs from the moment they start .. So for me both of them..Oh and Vinnie his drumming is distinctive as...666

[harvester of sorrow]

I'd say Alexi Laiho.

[harvester of sorrow]

yea, same here.. Except some guy said Rob ZOmbie and Marilyn Manson is black metal.

Yea, that just happened to me at school. I said some crap about death metal and this one jackass was like "yea im into that too. Not all death metal, just like linkin park and papa roach and stuff" :flame: :confused: :smash:

[Soulinsane]

I say that the metal MVP are the people that love to play it, support it, scream it while they drive( if they got their own ride ), or just understand it and know what it's all about. Many band members feel this way. The fan is the real MVP.

[BLS]

i like to masturbate to it.. does that count?

[MassMurderer]

I dunno people, but i think Slayer can still put out a decent album, i don't listen to them much, but their songs are sweet. On GHUA the songs all resembled each other, but who cares, they're all good. Bloodbath is my new fav band. Metallica as a group is probably the most influencial metal band though (St. Anger sucked anus, but nevertheless).

Yea, St. Anger was horrible. I dont what the hell theyre doing. Someone needs to get the booze back into their studio.

[Transient]

please, everybody shut the fuck up about st anger. there isnt a viewpoint that HASNT been expressed about that album, god damn

[BeastOfCarrion]

yes - besides, the MVP in metal is Ronnie James Dio, as has already been discussed

[rapeandruin]

If you guys consider Elvenking to be metal, folk metal, etc then them. If not then I'd have to go with the two guys from Shadows Fall.

[P§ÝÇHÕ]

I liked it, but that's funny nonetheless :)

[Konkhra]

Angela Gossow (or however u spell it) arch enemys vocalist, brilliantly brutal death metal lryics performed by a girl.

or jesse leech from old killswitch.

[Transient]

mvp to me would be someone who was in a lot of projets

james murphy

[Poof Daddy]

id say roope latvala just cuz he kicks ass and was like the thomas jefferson to andrew jackson with alexi, well kinda if anyone understands that.
