    is the list……awesome bands that have formed since the mid 90′s?

  • http://schenkeltown.blogspot.com Daisy May Tinklepants

    early 90′s *

  • Go Pens!

    This is starting to sound like Megadeth (MAKING AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT YOU INTEND TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT) except that you you have stipulations for unannounced things.

    • GO RED WINGS!

      I just had to reply because I hate the penguins…Red Wings back-to-back!

      • RED WINGS FUCK YEAH!

        Red Wings [rĕd wingz]:

        Verb:

        The act of sacrificing ones honor and dignity to engage in deep vaginal oral sex during a woman’s period.

  • phale

    this list of bands that will not appear on your list is indeed a list, and satisfies the requirement set out in the previous post that you will make a list. nicely done.

    • ashley

      lol

  • Pooper McFartpants

    Well it definitely ain’t a list of bands that Vince & Axl fellate each other to, cause AIC, FNM, and dare I say Cinderella would likely all make appearances…

    • poopsmcgee

      hello friend, i like your name

    • Anger Unmanagement

      Thats cute…. I mean br00tal.

  • Crunch240sx

    Why Tool isnt on the list??

    • Will

      This is the not on the list list, what list are you talking about?

  • http://www.crackcesshollywood.com Farhaad

    Something to do with Heroin..

  • Bill

    Well all of these bands have broken up at some point, some have reformed (AIC, Carcass, etc.) Not sure where this list is going though. Best bands to never have broken up?

    • Chris Berseth

      That’s what I’m thinking.

    • Double D

      At The Gates broke up

  • Spoonz

    Yeah was gonna say pretty sure all these bands have at one point broken up for one reason or another(death, fighting, etc). So your list will be bands celebrating their silver anniversary?

  • Fink

    Something to do with losing their front man?

    • Fink

      Nope…

  • Willie

    Well, none of these bands have released a studio album this decade, so I’m guessing it must be best albums of the ’00s. What do I win?

    • metalguy

      yeah their probably getting an early start at best of the 2000′s

    • xCOOCOOKALx

      didn’t ‘Snot’ just release an album a couple months ago?

  • All Out War

    Reunions.

    • Fink

      Nirvana?

      I’m going with bands that broke up/ ended in the 90s.

  • HueyLewisandTheFaceless

    Bad fuggin ass man.

  • http://www.myspace.com/shadow_patton Patton

    Is it gonna be a list of bands that are shit ? All the bands that aren’t eligible, are rather awesome.

  • Anus Apache

    The list is Bands that we Wish were still with us. (In original form)

  • Pacey

    its to do with frontmen, nirvana=cobain, vio-lence = rob flynn, death =chuck, soundgarden=cornell
    mercyful fate = king diamond

    bands whom u love/hate the frontmen of? bands where the front man calously left to make more money on his own leaving the band as an empty carcass to rot?

    • SourDeez

      I’m pretty sure dying doesn’t qualify as “callously leaving”.

    • sidni

      well if anyone paid attention, this list is saying WHAT ISN’T GOING TO BE ON THE LIST.

      friendly little tip

  • rob

    hmmmm i a list of old bands that didnt break up. since the bands above have broken up, a lot reunited though…….

  • Mike

    Most of these bands were the forefathers of a brand new musical genre trend.

  • http://www.myspace.com/notbrettmccabe Brett

    most influential.

    • Kevin

      This is probably it….

      • http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com Jimmy

        Nope. Faith No More are HIGHLY influential.

  • Anger Unmanagement

    All the bands Devin Townsend wasnt in…. I knew it!

    • Brandon

      That’s it!

  • Conduit

    I’m guessing the list will be something along the lines of bands who sound like Isuckedoffadudeonce

  • Malacoda

    You’re all retarded. This is bands that ARE NOT on the list. ARE NOT. Read the fucking instructions.

    • Malacoda

      Sorry, not all of you. Most of you.

  • Joshie

    Hmm… didn’t see Hollywood Undead on the list….this must mean something……

    • poopsmcgee

      no brokencyde either

  • Austin Milbarge

    Just remember to make a copy of the list. Then put that copy in a safe place in case you lose the original.

  • dr j

    It has to do something with Best Frontmen or something.

  • Tim

    Well, I don’t know all of them, but as far as I know those are all American bands. Am I on to something, or do I fail?

    • \m/Eluveitie\m/

      Black Sabbath
      Carcass
      At The Gates
      Carnage
      Mercyful Fate

      None of these are American

      • balls mahoney

        none of them are from the east coast…

  • bear wizard

    if carcass aren’t on it i don’t care

  • Uglymicrowave

    this is a list…so there’s ya list

  • Davidian16

    @Willie: nah, Death Angel’s released a couple albums this decade, so.

    • Willie

      They have, but Death Angel isn’t on the list. Death is, and so is Dark Angel.

      I still think I win, and deserve my prize of an autographed 8×10 from the dude in this week’s caption contest. That’s fuckin’ killer right there.

  • Vlad

    Well it must be a “bad” list if the greatest metal band of all time ever, period – Black Sabbath – isn’t on it.

  • http://myspace.com/biosyn teaches of peaches

    this is not the list, it’s just a tribute

    • http://metalinjection.net RobInjection

      1

  • Joshie

    Hmm…Megadeth isn’t on the list… nor is Strapping Young Lad….Top Redheads in Metal?

    • Anger Unmanagement

      Uh, who was a redhead in SYL? And Michael Amott, he’s a redhead.

  • http://lordsofmetal.nl/index.php?lang=en Cavorka

    Jeey!!! Sacred Reich!!!

  • http://farbeyonddriven87.tumblr.com/ voltron futura

    sean connery

    • Double D

      I agree, definitely sean connery.

  • TurdFerguson

    Is this a list of bands who’s frontman made me question my sexuality at one time or another?

  • http://www.welovemetal.com We Love Metal

    Does this mean Motley Crue is still eligible?

  • Elitist Fuck

    I’m going for bands that would have been sodomized by the members of GWAR and/or Manowar.

  • http://www.hibernum.net hibernum

    All these bands broke up at some point. Some got back together in some form or another…At the Gates reunion tour. Some not; Nirvana. At least that’s my guess, some of these bands are baffling. Only living witness?? Who?

    I guess none of them have released a new “studio” album in forever and a day. But wouldn’t you hate a new Carcass song if it sounded anything like what Jeff Walker has been up to lately? Welcome to Carcass Cuntry anyone?

    So yeah, I really hope this list doesn’t result in a new Carnivore album or something. Though I guess Mercyful Fate released new MF records after the original lineup broke up and King Diamond went solo, but it didn’t have the classic line up with Hank and Michael. Speaking of which…

  • Dan Wolfson
