I know this seems like a very specified poll, but looking at info on these bands I found it kind of odd how three of the bands coming out of the late 70's/early 80's that helped make metal what it is today are all lead by a bassist/semi-harshed-vocalled vocalist (all leading 3 piece bands) who is also the only original remaining member of the band. So the judging criteria is whose band was the most influential, whos band made the best albums and whose band is kicking the most ass currently, and why?

Oddly enough I had my voting priveleges revoked for 175 more days so im not aloud to vote on my own poll. Otherwise Id vote for Cronos, because Metal Black was an amazing alum, many people put it down but i see it as just like old Venom but with better production/recording quality.

Poll

Which of these Bassist/Vocalists lead the best early thrash band?

Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead)
62
Tom Angelripper (Sodom)
18
Cronos (Venom)
10

Total votes: 90

why isn't norway listed in your pool?*





I dunno any norvegain band from 80ties who play thrash metal and singer was bassist too


you didn't read my disclaimer at the bottom, did you?

the op of this thread has on several occasions explained why Slayer Tom is not listed on the poll... and yet people continue to ask why he is omitted.

This reminds me of the "best black metal country" poll someone had started, where he did not list Norway as an entry, explaining in the original post that everyone would vote for Norway, so there was no point in listing it - it was all to see of the remaining countries, which had the best scene.

and yet 2/3 of the responses were from people asking "Where's Norway?" "What, no Norway - you're an idiot!" "Norwegian BM rules - how could you leave them out?!"

In short, a lot of metalstormers don't even bother to take the freaking time to READ THE POSTS, they are just too busy formulating their response to add +1 to their post count to bother to take the time to look things over and provide a meaningful response that fits the parameters put forth by the creator of the thread.

i still miss the "Can metalstormers read?" thread. I need to buy whoever authored that thread a six pack.

Thanks alot for that!
and as you may tell I made this poll a few months back and was dumb enough to call it early thrash at the start, I changed as much as I could, unfortunately I couldnt change the poll question, but i did make an attempt to fix my faults here.

well, to quote myself from the first post here:

Lemmy's obviously legendary, but Sodom's recent concert here won me over enough to vote ANGELRIPPER.

READ THE MOTHERF*CKING POST PLEASE!!!

This is the first time I read the thread and I readed every single post...
And I just can't believe how many people asked the same damn question over and over again...

Dr. Rock... It's ok to get mad sometimes...
How the hell have you the patience to read your own thread and find out that 2/3 of the posts says the same thing and don't get mad at it...?
damn... I mean.. people can't really read here.

This pissed me off, seriously...

Unfortunately I can't vote...
But I would vote for Lemmy.
He is some of the very very big Gods in metal.. influenced so many bands [and you can see it cause there are so many bands that do covers to their songs...]
I love his way to live, sing... everything.. He is almost my metal anthem you know...

Deicide is a early 90th, band so i like Glen Benton as the strongest bassist/vocalist, he is really nice.
and also Blackie Lawless of WASP is a good one.

Tom Angelripper is awesome. He's a great vocalist/bassist. I saw Sodom live last year, and Tom is still as amazing as he was in the early Sodom years.

Cronos is a mediocre bassist and although a decent vocalist with understandable influence, he never did go beyond the blackened speed metal/thrash sound.

I vote Lemmy.
