Rules and notes

1. You vote off two bands you don't like two get knocked off until we get to the top 10 than it is one band. We will eventually just vote 1 off. You can see how it's played here...http://www.musicbanter.com/indie-alt...-survivor.html

2. I need a minimum of 5 people to play, if we got the numbers I will set a two day closing time for voting, but you can start voting now

3. If there are bands that you think should be added by all means let me know, I don't want the list to get to big though.

4. Example how you play, I'm not big on the following bands so I vote them off...

Game over winner Black Sabbath

inb4 Black Sabbath inevitably wins the thread.

Sepultura
Def Leppard
Helloween
Mercyful Fate
Skid Row

AC/DC
Guns N Roses
Ozzy Osbourne
Motorhead
Mercyful Fate

Not gonna try adding a million bands on here, but if we're keeping it in the area of hard rock and trad metal then you totally left out Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

Scorpions
Ozzy
KISS
Guns 'n' Roses

*coin flip*

Skid Row

I think WtB has just gone in for a wide range of bands that are all known and are commercially successful, stuff's always going to be left out on these things.

Also make a guess on Rock Bingo, so I can post my next guess:finger:

Voting off:

Dio
Helloween
KISS
Megadeth
Mercyful Fate

That was easy. I'm sure it's going to get a lot harder though.

Can't afford the time to play but will nominate Maiden and Sabbath as the finalists, or there's no justice in the world.

I'm sure you could still could eliminate 5 from the above list.

Dio
Helloween
Mercyful Fate
Sepultura
Skid Row

No Creedence Clearwater Revival? :'(

You're crazy ;)

Easy:

Def Leppard
Guns N Roses
Helloween
Sepultura
Skid Row

Seven voters and three of them nominated Guns N Roses. My hopes for this thread are rising.

X2

...but there are four sick people that have voted Sepultura off too.

Aerosmith
Def Leppard
Guns 'N' Roses
Van Halen
Motley Crue

Not as easy as I thought it would be. I hate a lot of these bands.

Never been the biggest fan of Sepultura. They're cool and all, but there are other death/thrash bands I prefer when in that mood. And I don't know why the **** you like Roots. So ****ing boring. Chaos AD is their only album that I feel is indispensable.

Why would you want to vote a good band off so early? You make no sense.

.... and neither do the people voting for Sepultura.

I'm confused, what good band did he vote off?

And Roots is a great album.

Guns N Roses. Not voted off but he's praying that they will.

That too.

No, no. I said Guns N Roses, not Helloween. I would never vote off a good band.

You like Roots?

Is this English? It appears to be a completely nonsensical string of words.

Your confusion is understandable. I imagine that reading must be difficult for a Guns N Roses fan.

Allright we've got the numbers, all the cool cats have come out to play with the exception of Bob.... he must be on hiatus?

Anyways just a reminder to be respectful of people's picks, I know we all get passionate about our bands but always be polite...even if they're bat $hit insane enough to vote GNR off in the first round!!! just kidding :)

First round polls close Saturday Night pacific time, cheers

What did you expect, any thread like this quickly turns into bitchfest after a few pages :D

lol, well the only thing I'm bitching about right now is Maiden and Dio over Metallica, its all good though

I have no beef with Sepultura. It just really doesn't matter when they get voted off, because they will eventually, you can't possibly imagine them winning this thread.

...he said, stroking Dio's taint.

Pantera is #1 I vote all the rest off / thread

Why do so many people hate Guns N' Roses? I love Appetite for Destruction :3.

Most people on here seem to love 'em.

I think it was a diffeent community I was on that hates gnr, so you're probably right.

Mainly because of a guy named Axl. He sucks as a vocalist big time.

Def Leppard
KISS
Motley Crue
Scorpions
Skid Row

Honestly, there's so many bands on the list I hate, that I just chose at random.

Eliminate:

Sepultura
Mercyful Fate
Helloween
Motorhead
Anthrax

And...

Slayer
WASP

... for good measure.

Most everybody already knows that either Black Sabbath orJudas Priest are the winners.

Even though... Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee, and Zack Wylde are the ultimate.

I hear you, I left Led Zeppelin out because their in a league of their own, and would probably wipe most of these bands off the map. Plus Zeppelin and Deep Purple did a lot of just plain rock stuff, whereas a band like AC/DC is pretty much straight up hard rock.

I do regret not adding Rainbow though, but we got Dio. Anyways time to grab a pen and tally up, what do we got here.

Out: Mercyful fate 7 (good riddance) Sepultura 6 Helloween 6

Than we have a bunch of bands tied up so vote 4 this time and I'll shorten the list to a solid 20 & then we'll vote 2 off each round until we get to 10.

AC/DC
Aerosmith
Alice Cooper
Anthrax
Black Sabbath
Def Leppard
Dio
Guns N Roses
Iron maiden
Judas Priest
KISS
Megadeth
Metallica
Motley Crue
Motorhead
Ozzy Osbourne
Pantera
Scorpions
Skid Row
Slayer
WASP
Van Halen

Polls close Monday Evening Pacific time

Pantera
KISS
Aerosmith
