Henrik Garcia - Dark Moor , i didnt heard them since the self tittled album cuz i dont like the new formation but Henrik is a awesome composer in the older albums, also some of the bands contribute a lot and a lot of them quit and he can handled the band by himself Tom Angelripper - Sodom , without him there's no Sodomania !!!

Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth is definitely the most recognized member of the band, after all he did create the band. Others are Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Glen Benton (Deicide), Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom), Chuck Shuldiner (Death), Alex Skolnick (Testament) It's too bad that some of these guys are recognized more than others. For example, when I think of Children of Bodom, one of the first things that I think of is Janne Warman, not Alexi. If there were no other members in the band, there wouldn't even be a band!

Cronos from Venom, I just read the liner notes for 'Cast In Stone', which Cronos wrote, and he spends most of 5 pages or so shitting all over Mantas and Abbadon.

Written by Paganblood on 14.03.2007 at 13:27 before cliff burton died, there was the trio, james-cliff-lars. after his death, lars slowly but surely started to take over the band, with bad consequences. kirk hammet, though a brilliant guitarist, pretty much doesn't have any power in the band, and if i was him, i would have left after st. anger. other than that, i'll say mike shinoda from linkin park, he's basically the band(not considering them metal people, just an example) other than that it's steve harris for maiden, jon schaffer for iced earth, and if i'm not mistaken, joey de maio from manowar is a similar guy.

Written by Valentin B on 14.03.2007 at 14:17 Mmm, soprry to say but Cliff never ran the band it was always Lars and James. It was Lars' brainchild anyway, he started looking for others to join him.

Yeah, for Metallica Lars was always the leader from their Thrash days to now with their St. Anger crap, by the way it was his stupid idea to not do any solos in that album. I also just found out from my friend that likes the Beatles that John Lennon was supposedly a control freak  .

Written by Valentin B on 14.03.2007 at 14:17 I didn't know that kirk was in that position.. about Iron Maiden, yes, harris is in an important person in the band, but I don't think Iron maiden will disband if harris leaves, because others in the band have good positons as well. I don't care about linkin park and iced earth, and I don't know much about manowar. anyway, I understood that you were just giving an example.

Written by [user id=19092] on 14.03.2007 at 20:16 Am I actually the only who was glad that there were NO solos on St. Anger? I hate St. Anger, but IMO it is blessing that there were no solos, cause IMO Kirk is THE most overrated guitarist ever. And he should stay off his wah wah pedal.

All you really hear about Gamma Ray is about Kai Hansen. Maiden is Stev Harris's creation, but he does let the other members contribute a great deal. Think of what powerslave would be without dickinsons songwriting.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 16.03.2007 at 14:00 while i agree, he's not a genius guitarist, the solo in "one" is the most INSANE fast tapping sequence i have personally ever heard and on their debut album his solos are really good, especially on "hit the lights", although come to think of it, aren't those dave mustaine's solos?

Timo Tolkki - Stratovarius Tom S. Englund - Evergrey Tuomas Holopainen - Nightwish Dave Mustaine - Megadeth Alexi Laiho - CoB Tony Kakko - Sonata Arctica Jon Shcaffer - Iced Earth Kai Hansen - Gamma Ray Im not saying this is the bad thing, or that thay are 'cruel masters' that wont listen to anyone else or something, it's just these people are the main writing and moving force in they're bands, and without them, these bands whould exsist, at least not in the way we know...

Well I'm sure names like Steve Harris, Dave Mustaine, and Chuck Schuldiner have been brought up here......I guess they rule/d their bands.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 16.03.2007 at 14:00 Can't say I'm GLAD that there are no solos on the album, but I sure don't miss them. I wouldn't call Hammet overrated but I've always disliked most of Metallica's solos, very boring.

One I never realised before is Joey Demaio from Manowar, when I thought of Manowar I usually thought Eric Adams, but now that I look at it, all Manowar songs are written by Joey, and Joey pretty much has control/dominance in any interview, which is pretty rare for a bassist.

I think i'm going to follow many others in here and say Dave Mustaine, the dude hasa hell of an ego. But I still really like Megadeth, so as long as he keeps writing good stuff I'm happy. It seems to me that the times he has shared the responsibility of writing the songs, most of them are just not as good as the Mustaine specials.

I think Devin Townsend when he worked on Strapping Young Lad should get a mention here if he hasn't already. I mean, without him, SYL would have never come to be.
