My favorite dead artist is the everlasting DIMEBAG DARRELL or Darrell Lance Abbott most famous for his guitar playing in the world famous PANTERA ... R.I.P. 12/8/2004 ex- (Damageplan, Tres Diablos, Gasoline, David Allen Coe/Rebel Meets Rebel)
What about you?

For me it is doubtlessly Quorthon, the mighty God of Bathory.

Being the driving man behind Bathory, whom every (extreme) metaller knows or should know.

That's all. We owe him.

I think it could be Valfar, the frontman of Norwegian black-viking metal band Windir. He's got one of the best black metal vocals i have ever heard and his musical ideas are so fucking great.

mine doesnt belong to a metal band...i have to pick Kurt Cobain(Nirvana) or Freddy Mercury(Queen)

Well in my opinion, if its not about metal, i would support you with Kurt Cobain Freddy Mercury, and most importantly... JOHN LENNON! (and many more....)

jimi hendrix... i think that he is the best guitar player in the history... he had such creativity in his playing...

Definetly Chuck, and Euronymous as well...but while they were here they both jump started 2 genres of metal and look where those genres are today. So they left their legacies quite well

shit i forgot about Euronymous, if it wasnt him for we wouldnt have Immortal, Mayhem, Emperor or Darkthrone

Randy Rhoads. I'm suprised no one here has mentioned him yet he is one of the most important metal guitar players ever.

Chuck fucking Schuldiner

word,Chuck was amazing at everything he did.I also wish that Criss Oliva and Cliff Burton had more time on earth,so much talent and they didn't get to show it enough.

There are usually more than you realise but for me, the biggest are Chuck Schuldiner of Death and Quorthon of Bathory. I'd kill to have seen them live.

lol I like how blunt the title is. Well, my favorite artist, who is now a corpse, is Dimebag. He's my all-time favorite guitarist.

Seen as the topic isn't metal related exactly, I gotta say John Lennon, definately.

Chuck for his guitar playing. Dimebag for the drinking and his loving attitude.

Him and his Brother Jon Oliva where the masterminds behind one of my favorite bands Savatage
Criss was the lead guitarist from 81' to 93' when he died in a tragic car accident They are a progressive heavy metal,I recommend all of their albums.

LONG LIVE DIMEBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it wasn't for him and Pantera, I wouldn't be a metalhead.
R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell

you must die in correct time to become a inmortal legend! my thought are Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett.

you go man lol by assasinating Dimebag they assasinated metal!!!!!!!!

Eh, no. We still have Slipknot and Korn.

lol ... ok by assasinating dimebag.. they assasinated most of metal

Eh, no I still don't agree.

With assasinating Dimebag they killed Pantera & Damageplan. Not really anything more. Ok, maybe a little 'spirit' of metal, but then it just gets vague.

Ahhhhh come on man... his solo in floods is #15 in the worlds best solos, can u resist the solo in domination live? you tell me if you can then i withdraw

Hey, I love the music of the dude, and his solo's, hell yeah. Therefore the 'spirit' of metal. BUt furthmore I think we lost a lot more with the death of for example Quorthon. But hey, I want no arguement, he was good as hell too.

lol well you have a point ... hes not the only metal dude around, but oh well.. he has a lottttt of impact on me no arguments because i do support your opinion bro

Then I've said it all.

As I read back my first post, I wonder if I should honour more people. But then again, I would probably forget one anyway, so what's the point.

They are probably the most legendary. I sitll need to hear more of their music, though, I juat have heard one death song and 2 bathory songs.

For me, It's hard to think but I know it's certainly not Dimebag. Somnium from Finntroll is the only person in my top ten bands to die, he was a migthy troll indeed. I'll mention Sabine from Elis too, hardly a big influence or well known but she was certainly a very good singer.

Umm...rock heaven is full of great artists, and some of them are my favs of all time

John Bonham
Cliff Burton
Quorthon
Chuck Schuldimer
Syd Barrett

Cliff Burton, probably the best bassist of Metallica ever
