BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Diesel 11]

I know who I'm voting for in 3 of the 4 matches, but I'm not sure who to vote for between Kai Hansen and Randy Rhoads.

So, Maidenfans, can I get some convincing/examples to help me make a decision?

Kai Hansen is just a normal, everyday metal guitarist. Nice stuff but easily beaten at his own game.

Randy Rhoads, however, was a pioneer. The two albums he released with Ozzy Osbourne before his untimely demise are gold if only for his amazing guitar playing. The riff in Crazy Train or the solo in Mr. Crowley... gold. Personally he's my all-time favorite because of how he impacted younger me and still blows my mind now.

 

[Saapanael]

Crazy Train, enough said.

 

[Black Bart]

Are we supposed to vote for them as interpreters OR composers or an average between what we think of them as interpreters AND composers? (in the first case, Randy Rhoads would win, in the second case it would be Kai).

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

None of these dead guys are going to be able to manage the rigours of touring...

Just vote for Crazy Train and feel great about it. That's what this game is about. Ask Diesel, the European metal expert.

VOTE FOR THE DUDE THAT PLAYS TORNADO OF SOULS SOLO!!!!

 

[Saapanael]

It’s a genius solo though.

 

[Forostar]

I love that riff especially. But the wealth of the songs and guitar music created by Hansen is way more important for me.

 

[Night Prowler]

Need someone to break the tie in the last match...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Done.

 

[Night Prowler]

Wow, CriedWhenBrucieLeft actually voted

I'm honored.

So after doing a little research, I actually decided to go with Kai Hansen here. In addition to Tremonti, Matheos, and Joe Walsh.

Tied it up again and one more against the god of guitar. RIP Randy, I will try to change the public's impression of thee in thine favor.

[The Flash]

He's hardly doing badly, he's comfortably in the lead.

Al Di Meola is the one getting shafted here.

'Tisn't enough, my dear Flash. If he got paired up against someone who's a bit more popular here I fear his end will be nigh.

 

[Night Prowler]

Dammit, tie again...

Broken.

And created a new one, oops. Transfer my Jim Matheos vote to Dimebag, please.

 

[Diesel 11]

Tie between Dimebag and Jim now...
