The Greatest Single Influence on Metal

Trollheart · 10-19-2015, 09:56 AM

Looking ahead to Metal Month IV already (I know, I know!) and I'd like to do a major feature on one person who has been a really massive influence on metal, so I'd like your thoughts.

Conditions: one person only --- can be anything; singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer (yeah)

--- no bands. Does not have to be living, but must work, or have worked, completely in the sphere of heavy metal. There are people who have worked outside that --- Hendrix, Page etc --- and have been a big influence on metal, but this is going to be part of Metal Month IV and so they have to be, or have been, heavily involved in the scene.

You guys know much more about this than me, so vote now and let me know your thoughts. Also preferably someone with a decent discography, whether in one band, many or none (solo), as I intend to obviously explore his music deeply as I can.

Thanks!
