Metal Reviews

Every musical genre has its share of personalities you wish you could just smack in the face. Heavy metal is no exception. Which of these people annoys you the most?

Smelly vagina Sharon

Sharon. Lars at a close second.

I have to pick just one? I suppose Benton. I don't know why, but he constantly gets on my nerves more than anyone else.

Lars. Every time he talks, I want to brand his face with a white-hot poker coated in acid.

By the way, in case you were wondering, I voted for Schaffer. That guy has got to be one of the most fickle and nasty people in the entire scene.

But is he more annoying than Glen "I have an inverted cross burned into my forehead but I got married in a church" Benton?

I don't see a problem with him. Iced Earth is his band, plain and simple. He wants what he wants, if he doesn't get it he's not happy. If your boss doesn't get what he wants from you at work, he's not happy either.

He's just straightforward and honest, some people can't handle that. I respect it. Zakk Wylde is no different. He's just a no bullshit kind of guy, like me, sometimes people simply don't understand that. Thus, you're an asshole.

Yeah, all the shit he talked when Barlow left was quite pathetic...

I'll have to go with the obvious option though... Sharon. Fuck 'er.

Am I the only person who finds Kiske to be annoying? Mr. I Hate Metal, but I'm going to continue to be in the metal scene. Or the constant bitchfest interviews with him. He has a great voice (my personal favorite), but he is a frikin crybaby.

What shit? He said Barlow's heart wasn't in it anymore and it reflected on the music. Barlow actually went and shaved off all his hair and became a cop, I'm inclined to believe that Barlow's heart definitely wasn't in it.

What else did he say? Tim Owens is a better vocalist? That's debatable either way, and maybe Jon believes that.

What else did he say?

Yeah, that's quite annoying. He's always talking about hating metal and loving pop music, he'll only ever do pop music again, then he guests on 57 metal albums per year and he just worked on the entire Place Vendome album...NOT pop.

I can't make that choice. No way in hell.

I'll vote Schaffer since Lars gets plenty of recognition for being a douche, but he only wins on that technicality. Phil and Glen Benton are up there too though.

Btw, this is an awesome thread.

Well, Benton and Ulrich are two idiots and complete shit comes out of their mouths when they open it. Sharon is a cunt for the shit about Iron Maiden and even though I'm not a fan I respect them a lot and nobody should dare to fuck with them. All very good contenders. But I think I'll vote Sharon. That bitch.

Too bad they are responsible for some good music..

I vote for Ozzy/Sharon. I saved Ulrich thanks to his compilations about NWOHM. But was a tough decission, I found most of the options really annoying.

Another one that really annoys me is DeMaio. I love Manowar music, but some lyrics, and a great part of his words, are really stupid.

Yup. That's why I voted for sharon. These guys are important figures for metal no matter what, so is Ozzy but Sharon's just a bitch.

I don't care about any of these people.. Metallica, Anthrax, Iced Earth, Pantera and Deicide have collectively produced zero albums about which I care.

so probably Sharon, she's pretty fucking shrill

Agreed... She's a really, really awful woman and her kids are nothing more than camera whores. At least it seems that way to me... And she's made a negligible contribution to music outside of reminding us how awesome Iron Maiden are.
