If DIO, Halford, Vince Neil and Tate can't cure world hunger...there is no answer.

I see the guitarists from Maiden, but where the hell is Bruce? Must have had an important fencing tournament.

Blackie Lawless in the obligatory drum-only chorus is WIN

Man, something like this would never happen today, not with today's metal bands.

On the subject of Maiden, I'm annoyed that Adrian and Dave are better than any of those guitarists that played lead and they were stuck with rhythm. Maybe some of those lead guys should have been forced to do rhythm, get in a humbler.

Geoff Tate and Rob Halford with hair = win.

And did I see fucking Michael McKean as David St. Hubbins in there somewhere?

And who the fuck let Neal Schon and Malmsteen in?

Malmsteen may be an OK guitarist, but most of it is gimmick, and he is a complete douche.

Derek Smalls was also there without his handlebar mustache Sad

And yeah, the fact that they have a song featuring fucking Dio and Rob Halford but then reduce Murray and Smith to rhythm so NEAL FUCKING SCHON can play a solo is utter bullshit. Go die Neal Schon, you officially join my list with Bruce Springsteen and U2...and your whole fucking band is going too.

What is this list with Bruce Springsteen and U2?

Wow, Malmsteen? Douche maybe, but he is an amazing guitarist. I have him in my top ten so I amazed he is being bashed like this. I am a Viking kicks ass!

It must be so easy for Dio to come up with lyrics.
"Hey Ron, we need another song for our next album."
"Shit, just put some rainbows and dragons in there or something."

And then I listen to it.

I'm not bashing Malmsteen really, I just think there are lots of better guitarist's in his genre. His solo's all start to sound the same after a while. He's no Satriani. That's not really to say they are in the exact same genre because they clearly aren't, but when I hear a Satriani song, I know it's him because he has a distinct style.

Malmsteen is probably the most technically sound guitarist out there, and some the stuff he can do is just ridiculous. But his music lacks heart.

Agreed.

I'll still take Hoey over Malsteem, any day.

Malmsteen has some good stuff, but whoever writes his songs needs to be shot. Sure, there are some hits, but none of his songs have ever stuck with me.

I can understand every artist on that list except Bruce, and I'm not even a fan. What'd he ever do to you?

Yeah Bruce has written some goddamn good songs, what the fuck.

I actually hate Warrant a lot less than I used to after I saw how pissed off the singer was that Cherry Pie got so popular. I mean, I still hate 'em and everything but...jeez the guy was crying.
