Dead Metal Dudes

Metal is in my blood Number of posts : 2998 Age : 55

Somewhat morose topic, and most here will put Dio on the top of their lists - and as you know, I do not have a ton of regard for humanity in general - but here is a list, in order of impact off the top of my head, of metal dudes that have passed that I wish wouldn't have just yet [and I am not gonna include Bob Marley, Joey Ramone, Phil Lynott, Johnny Thunders, etc - sticking with the Metal/Hard Rock of this room - you can list whatever]:

Cliff Burton
Paul Hackman
Paul Balloff
Bon Scott
Pepsi Tate
Randy
Ronnie James Dio
Kevin Dubrow
Chuck
Dimebag

There are many more [Chris Olivia, Steve Clark, etc] - but those are the first 10 that came directly to mind while creating this post.

Vitek from Decapitated comes to mind.

Metal is Forever Number of posts : 5067 Age : 27

Chuck Schuldiner
Ronnie James Dio
Randy Rhoads
Chris Oliva
Cliff Burton

Those are the only ones that came to mind that I really feel could have done more great work. There's probably more, but those were the ones that popped in my mind.

No order but:

Dawn Crosby
Criss Oliva
Peter Steele
Mike Baker

Can't include Burton or Rhodes as they died before I even knew what heavy metal was.

Well if you take that into account, no one (besides Dio) on my list would be applicable. Laughing

Speaking of recently, let's not forget Mark Reale. That reminds me, I still haven't listened to Immortal Soul yet.

Forgot about Layne! Never was really that much into Bathory (though it is sad he died too soon).
