Funny, got an article right here that says that they met in Frisco.
Vai in his first article in Guitar Player. The one that deals with
"Flex-Able" and his early days.

Goes something like this. Chris Cornell and Andrew Woods were old friends and
roommates. When he died, Chris wrote a couple of songs, "Reach Down" and
"Say Hello To Heaven" in Tribute to Andrew. He and the guitarists from 
MLB recorded "Temple Of The dog" on weekends before Pearl Jam was formed.
Hope this clears it all up. But I still doubt Vedder died or anything.

BORN AGAIN is the heaviest ever sabbath album!
It's overloaded version of the 1ts 3 sabbath album.Gillan is great in sabbath.

What are the Criteria??  I mean if we are talking about guys that can do 
bass rolls from hell, or are we talking diversification?  If it's just guys 
that wail all over the kit, then my vote is Vinnie Paul of Pantera.  If its 
diversification, then the vote goes to Robert Sweet of Stryper.  Regardless 
of whether or not you like Stryper, you must admit Robert is a fantastic 
musician.  Scott Rockenfield comes in a close second.

Just my $.02 worth.

John Myong of Dream Theater gave the best performance by a bassist I had seen

I've always liked these guys:

  Eric Carr (Kiss)
  Tommy Aldridge (Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake)
  Vinnie Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio)
  Greg Bissonette (Just saw him with Satriani, and he was quite good.  Used to

  Lars Ulrich (Metallica)
  Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)
  Herman Rarebell (Scorpions -- I think that's his name...)

I know I'm forgetting alot of others...

Another personal favorite of mine is Terry Bozzio who has recorded/toured with
Jeff Beck, but I'd hardly call that metal.  I'm not a drummer, so perhaps I
don't know who is technically the best, but I know what sounds good to me.
Just about all drummers I talk to seem to think Neil Peart is a god.

Finally here goes my top and bottom of 1992.It's not top 10, but top 15.
Note some of them were released actually in 1991 or 1990 but in the USA 
releases were in 1992.

1.DarkThrone "A Blaze In The Northern Sky"
   Fucking A++. The most extreme and fastest black/death metal stuff! 

1a.I just got SODOM "Better Off Dead" So it shares 1st place with DarkThrone.
A+

2.Black Sabbath "Live In boston 1992" 
   I wouldn't mention it, but since I managed to tape it, it also goes as 
   fuckin' A+.Consider it as a live album.
3.DEATH "Fate" 
   A

4.CELTIC FROST "Parched with The Thirst Am I and Dying"
  Great compilation that contains new tracks, re-recorded tracks and amazing
  unreleased tracks!
  A-
5.DarkThrone "Soulside Journey"
  Black/doom/speed metal.I like this shit! 
A- 

6.TROUBLE "Manic Frustration"
  Not as doom as early stuff, but it kicks ass.I'm not only metal fan but
 also hardrock fan!
 A-
7.Brutual Truth "...Demand..."
  Very *happy* and impressive grindcore speed stuff.
 A-

8.TESTAMENT "The Ritual"
 Good.
 A--!
 
9.ENTOMBED (Shit.I forgot the name")
  Good stuff, but I like LEFT HAND PATH much better!
 B+

10.MANOWAR "The Triumph Of steel"
Weaker than previous releases, but not bad!
 B+

11.REVEREND LIVE
  Reverend has always sounded like Reverend 
B+

12.MERCYFUL FATE "Return Of the Vampire"
  Mercyful Fate Demos.Good stuff though I can't compare it to 2 classic albums
 MF has out
B

13.CRIMSON GLORY "Strange & Beautiful"
  different from previous stuff, but I like it a lot.They've got some cool 
 tunes.

B

14.CANDLEMASS CHAPTER VI
   A bit disappointing.But they changed style and some tunes aren't too bad.
B-

15.IRON MAIDEN "Fear Of  The Dark"
 They've got cooll tunes but it's only 50% of it.
B-


I'd like also to mention EXHODER AND PANTERA.No grading!

CATHEDRAL is EVENT of 1991-1992.I'm not into them, but they are different!

Bottom of 1992 Disappointing of the year!

1.King Diamond "Abigail Live"
I just don't like King live.In studio he's really KING, but live...nuhh!
C

2. VoiVod "Angel Rat" 
Bullshit!
C-

3.Cronos "Dancing In The fire"
Wimpy crap.Not like *venom* at all.
D+
4.Megadeth "Countdown To ..."
I just borrowed this CD and it didn't impress me at all!
But I've never been megafan of Megadeth to be honest!
D+ 

5.BLACK SABBATH "Dehumanizer".
Bullshit.It's not Black Sabbath - it's dio-ish crap!
D+

That's it.did I miss smth?

	I love Y&T!  I've been cranking to them since the mid 80's...
	My brother and I recently picked up a couple of their older

	here in Indianapolis, They were Japanese Imports. We're trying

	They recently re-issued the old Yesterday & Today albums on
	CD. My brother picked up their first, self titled on a few
	weeks ago.  

	According to the December Issue of ICE (Issue #69), the CD:
	"Yesterday & Today - Struck Down" was supposed to be released
	in November sometime.  But, neither of us have seen it in
	the shops yet. :-(

	I also think I remember reading a post by someone recently
	(within the past 3-4 months) mentioning that Y&T played at
	some Carnival or State Fair or County Fair or something
	like that.... (In California, that is)

I have to agree with this. Ians vocals on Born Again are impressive.
He really screams his guts out! I think Born Again is much more close
to the original Sabbath-thing than any Dio Sabbath album. 
(Dio Sabbath sounds just like Rainbow, but Born Again doesn't sound
close to Deep Purple.  :)

There's a problem, it seems to me, with picking best bassists: By at least
one reasonable definition, the best bassists are the ones you don't notice.
Besides, it's the sort of instrument where you have to be *really* good to
do anything interesting without messing up the song (the Billy Sheehan
problem).

That said, in no particular order:
 Steve Harris
 Cliff Burton
 Geezer Butler
 Tom Araya (based mostly on live work; his bass tends to get lost in
            the studio recordings, as far as I can tell)
 Roger Glover (I don't know if I'd call Deep Purple a metal band, but
               we owe 'em a lot historically)

You've been restless only since CRAZY WORLD? I thought SAVAGE AMUSEMENT was 
really good and then they released CRAZY WORLD which I thought was awful. 
Anyway this decade the Scorpions try to take more time to write and record,
but I can't remember why. Oh yeah. After the album and tour, they take a year
or so off for vacation (come on. They're past 40, most of them. They deserve a
break). So it's about two years later after the album is released and they're
back in the studio to write and record a bit. Next album, then, should be late
next year, if they go on with releasing albums every three years or so.

For some reason, I find it annoying that I wait so long for an album to come
out (ie Metallica's METALLICA, Def Leppard's ADRENALIZE, and Scorpions's
CRAZY WORLD) and what I get is something not worth waiting three or four years
for. Well, I'm liking the Metallica album a lot more but I've only heard
the Def Leppard one maybe five times at the most, and the Scorpions only once.
I hope not everyone is like that. So far the only good album that came out
similarly (in my opinion and that I've heard) is FEAR OF THE DARK. Well, ANGEL
WITCH LIVE, but that came out back in 1990 and I didn't know that it was 
released then until last year.

I decided to post this, although I probably get some flame of it. But
since many people have (again...) posted their top-n list about 'who
is the best singer/drummer/whatever', I though this would be OK.

This poll includes _ONLY_ things happened THIS year. I.e. there is a
question 'who is the best drummer of 1992' - it means a drummer who
has toured / made an album this year. Not some Other Drummer who has
played drums in 1991 but hasn't released / toured anywhere this year.

I count only first 5 names. First gets 5 points, second 4 ... fifth 1.
This is heavy metal only poll, but it is up to you what you think as
metal. Black Sabbath, Metallica, Anthrax, Ac/Dc, Deep Purple are metal
imho, whereas New Kids Of The Block are not. But it is up to you what
you consider to be heavy metal.

MOST IMPORTANT:   _______DO NOT________ post your votes. We don't want
to get alt.rnr.metal[.heavy] flooded with votes. E-MAIL THEM TO ME.
I'll send a reply to every vote to let you know that your vote has
been counted. I WILL NOT COUNT ANY VOTES POSTED TO NEWSGROUPS. If you
don't know how to reply via e-mail, ask your sysadmin. If he or she
doesn't know, do not vote - and suggest someone else would take his /
her place as sysadmin:-). It seems that my address here works now just
OK, so you can send your votes to me to: tapio@nic.funet.fi. My other
addresses are k135528@cc.tut.fi and dio@cc.tut.fi.

I'll summarize the results early next year.
 
The questions:
--------------

1. The best album (state also band, no bootlegs)

2. The best band

3. The best vocalist
4. The best guitarist
5. The best bassist
6. The best drummer
7. The best keyboardist
(in case 3-7, state also the band of the musician)

Monsters Of Rock, just normal tours)
