Scott from MetalMartyr wrote a nice post of Trading Places With Metal Faces. Instead of listing the metal faces Scott would like to trade places with, he lists the faces he would NOT trade. Before reading more than the first few lines of Scott’s post, I thought about Sebastian Bach from Skid Row and Lars Ulrich from Metallica, and surprise, they are both in Scott’s list. Read it, it’s a good post!

Based on Scott’s post, I decided to write about five metallers with whom I WOULD like to trade places, but only for one day. You know, most of us have dreamed of being a rock star. The kid inside me still wants to be a rock star. Now the question is like who I would like to be and why? Let me tell you. Notice that I would like to trade places only for one day. I am satisfied with myself, so one day would be enough. Read more to find out why.

1. Michael Kiske - I sing and I suck. My voice is tenor but it is just horrible compared to great singers like Michael Kiske. I would like to trade places with Michael Kiske in order to know how it feels to be an awesome singer. As Michael Kiske I would sing “Eagle Fly Free“, “I Want Out” and “Keeper of the Seven Keys“, all from the Helloween album Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 2. Michael Kiske is one of my favorite vocalists and it definitely would be great to be in his boots for one day.
2. Scott Ian - As a life-long Anthrax fan I would like to spend one day as Scott Ian. Why? Not because he is good with his guitar, but because I want to know how it feels to jump around in front of thousands of people while you are wearing funny shorts. Those funny-looking shorts were the style on 1980’s and I would like to experience it!
3. Eric Adams - I want to spend one day as Eric Adams. I respect him as a singer; he has a good and powerful voice. Listen how he sings Nessun Dorma to know why I enjoy his singing. Anyhow, I am not into his clothing style. I find those leather clothes embarrassing. As Eric Adams I would change the clothing of Manowar. For Karl Logan I would say “go to gym”.
4. Alexi Laiho - Children of Bodom is one of my favourite bands and Alexi Laiho is one of my favorite guitar players. I would love to spend one day in his boots learning his skills with guitar. Well, during one day you really can’t learn much, so most probably I would get wasted with the other guys of the band. Anyhow, I would enjoy that day. The day after would probably be the worst hangover in my life.
5. Phil Anselmo - Yeah, you know. What would be better than being Phil Anselmo for one day and singing Cemetery Gates in front of 50.000+ people. At least I would hear Dimebag playing live. I never got the chance.

With whom you would trade places?
