another could be Christopher Johnson in Therion, Tilo Wolff in Lacrimosa, and Vibeke Stene in Tristania (The band needs her, and I need her too).

Yeah, I agree with you a little there, Alfo. I think that a certain instrument that a member plays can mean that that member is the limelight of the band. Like vocallists and guitarists are often more well known and thought of as bigger parts of a band than other members.

Andi deris in helloween is now the lead member after weikath left to write many songs, i think it could be an example of waht happens when a member could fit in a band

@lazarus: Tilo Wolff and Vibeke Stene are both bad examples. In Lacrimosa's case, I don't think Anne Nurmi is just an accesory for Tilo and neither does everything he says. In Tristania's case, obviously they need Vibeke, but she isn't the one who rule the band, and if she leaves Tristania, surely the rest of the members will look for a remplacement (the same happened in Theatre of Tragedy, Sirenia, Visions of Atlantis, The sins of thy beloved, etc.)

Written by [user id=8232] on 14.07.2006 at 08:10 I still think that Warman and Roope get their fair share of recognition. For one thing, i know them, and i don't usually know much of the band members, even if i am a fan. A fact is that i personally can't imagine CoB without Laiho. However i also don't think that he has a dictatorship going on in the band. So...i might say he is something like the reaper on their covers...like, an icon, but not directly ruling over the bandmembers' ever descision. EDIT: the point remained the same, i just re-read what i wrote yesterday and i was disgusted on how poorly it was written...so i changed like...the key points.

Written by Daru Jericho on 13.07.2006 at 12:35 I don't know about that, André contributes a LOT (all the music, from memory) and is revered by the fans.

Written by Hyvaarin on 18.07.2006 at 08:26 Hm...maybe. But everyone seems to talk about Hansi a lot and doesn't he write most, if not all of the lyrics? I 'm not totally sure about this. You could be right but yes Andre does some work. So maybe Hansi doesn't rule but has a large input instead.

Written by Daru Jericho on 18.07.2006 at 21:30 There would be hardly any music whatsoever if it wasn't for Olbrich and Siepen though. The frontman of the band and the person who has total control can be two very different things. Take Morbid Angel for example. Trey is always more of a "behind" the scenes kind of guy compared to Tucker or Vincent, but he controls most of the band, even though like I said earlier it wouldn't be Morbid Angel without Pete. By the way, Jeff writes as much, if not more of the music in Slayer than does Kerry King. I think they are both equal in Slayer though.

The first I think of is Nergal. He basically IS Behemoth, though the other members contribute.

Morten Veland used to rule the band Tristania. He composed, wrote the lyrics and even controlled the choir arrangements. He is probaly doing the same thing with Sirenia now...

Timo Tolkki of Stratovarius he rules the band with his crazed iron fist. The best thing I ever heard was when he fired his entire band. It's to bad he had to go insane though because I'm pretty sure it took its toll on the writing of their latest album.

Dani Filth... if he quits there is no CoF, for he is the band and the others just come and go.

Well Tuomas Holopainen in Nightwish, writing all the music and lyrics. Kicking Tarja didn't make his position look any weaker. Jari Mäenpää in Wintersun, well actually you could say he's the band, like Vintersorg in, well Vintersorg.

Written by Bitch Boy on 16.07.2006 at 23:16 probably not too late for a responding, where are those bands right now(ToT or TSOTB)?! trying not to be forgotten, I disagree about Tilo because he's the soul of the band, don't get me wrong, Anne is great and I like the way the band took when she got into the band, cheers!

LOL...some great responses here but don't forget Yngwie Malmsteen...I think everyone who has played with him called him "A"hole!

sadly enough he's basically the whole band. When someone refers to Bodom being all amazing and talented, they probably mean Alexi
