| AND HE PRAYS  Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Grayskull Gender:  Posts: 18,806 Thanks: 1,405 Thanked 2,250 Times in 1,338 Posts Blog Entries: 15 | VGF's Top Musical Artists: Vocalists Round 1 The last time I did this, it failed due to procrastination, lack of orginazation, and lack of votes. This time, I shall get deadlines on time (unless I am away from the Internet, of course), I'll put thought into my brackets, and use videos that actually showcase the artists' talents. I also am restarting this because I believe a few more people have joined that know music. Rules: 1. Up to 7 nominations per category. No more than 7. Please post a video that shows each individual's talents, and in band's case, what song shows the band's talents. With individuals, songs or solos can be used. You may post your nominations here, PM them, or IM them. I prefer posting here and PMing. 2. Seeding will be decided upon by votes. Most votes is 1 seed, second most is 2 seed, etc. Places with tied votes will be seeded on popularity. 3. When voting, if you don't know who the opponent is, please check out their video. The categories: Vocalist Guitarist Drummer Bassist Keyboardist/Pianist/Organist/whatever Band My nominations: Vocals: Matthew Bellamy (Muse) Thom Yorke (Radiohead) Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifier) Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) Ronnie James Dio (Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio) Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) Freddie Mercury (Queen) Guitar: Buckethead (C2B3, Guns N Roses, Praxis, Deli Creeps, etc.) Eric Clapton (Cream, The Yardbirds, John Mayall, Derek & The Dominos, etc.) Adam Jones (Tool) Eric Johnson (solo) John Petrucci (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment) Joe Satriani (solo) Alex Lifeson (Rush) Drums: Keith Moon (The Who) Neil Peart (Rush) Danny Carey (Tool) Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus, A Perfect Circle) Bryan "Brain" Mantia (Primus, Praxis, Guns N Roses, C2B3, etc.) Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment) John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) Bass: Les Claypool (Primus, C2B3, Oysterhead, etc.) Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, The Mars Volta) Bootsy Collins (P-Funk, Praxis) John Myung (Dream Theater) Chris Squire (Yes) Matt Feeman (Operation Ivy, Rancid) Geddy Lee (Rush) Keyboards: Bernie Worrell (P-Funk, Praxis, C2B3) Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment) Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) Patrick Moraz (Yes, The Moody Blues) Rick Wakeman (Yes) Matthew Bellamy (Muse) Band: Radiohead Tool Primus Rush Porcupine Tree The Mars Volta Muse |

Also, for drummers, add Jeff Porcaro, Peter Erskine, Lenny White, and Art Blakey, just for fun. Because two dead legends and two Jazz drummers make everything great. |

I mean, Bozzio is great with his ostinato stuff, and he really makes the drums sing, but Colaiuta is a monster. Zappa does have a penchant for picking the best drummers, though. On that note, I make my 6th drummer nomination Vinnie Colaiuta. EDIT: I will organize my nominations better later. I have some stuff in mind. |

Haha, no, really, I know, yeah, sorry, right, you're entitled to your opinion. For example, Gavin Harrison probably isn't the best, but he's my current favorite. |

Since you've made it clear that your only musical escapades involve a few chords on a guitar (and I think you've mentioned Bass? I'm not sure), I assume you don't play drums. Most drummers at least mention it, since almost every musician mentions what he can and can't play when asked. However, if you are in any way a trapset demon who's been holding out on us, my bad. Also, I believe I made my sarcasm clear, in the very unlikely case that you thought it was a personal affront. |
