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?

Christmas is soon here and so is the party. I mean so called “pre-Christmas” party. We have already had that party at my work but some companies are going to have it on this week. There is always some live music in our parties. Usually there are some deadly boring old fags playing 70’s pop and rock covers. I have never seen a metal band in any parties organized by my employers. If I was in charge I would organize a bit different Christmas party..

Who would you like to see live in your party? I am into metal music, so I created a list of five bands I would like to invite to my party. After their gigs the bands would naturally join the audience and spend time with us. Which bands I would invite? Read below.

Band number 5: Mokoma

Mokoma is a band I would definitely invite to my party. They know how to entertain audience and how to play some trash metal. I would love to sit down with Mokoma’s singer Marko Annala and share a discussion. He is a clever guy and would probably have interesting things to say. Unfortunately he has quit drinking, so I could not drink a couple of Whiskey’s with him. Anyhow, Mokoma would be a perfect band to start the party with their aggressive trash metal.

Band number 4: Machine Head

Our trash metal party would continue with the great American metal band Machine Head who would provide us some more headbanging rhythms. I believe few dudes at my work would be very satisfied with Machine Head who would start their “my Christmas party” gig by playing Now I Lay Three Down.

Band number 3: Anthrax

After two great trash metal bands it would be great to continue with.. more trash metal! Good old Anthrax would play us their old classics such as In My World, Indians and Got The Time. Additionally they would play also some new stuff, but the singer would be Belladonna. With all the respect, all Anthrax singers have been good, but personally I prefer Belladonna. My great Christmas party would be well warmed up when Anthrax plays their What Doesn’t Die.

Band number 2: Lamb Of God

No no, my party would not be over yet. It would just get better and better, because the next band coming to satge would be Lamb Of God, who would start their gig by playing Redneck. Now, after Lamb of God gig I could have my change to drink a couple of Whiskey’s with these guys who do not say no to alcohol. I would not ask a single “fan question”. I believe they here them enough.

Band number 1: Children Of Bodom

Just before the midnight, the fifth band in my Christmas party would enter the stage. Children of Bodom would start their gig by playing Silent Nights, Bodom Nights. They would play 30 minutes for me and other nerds at my work. Just before the end of their gig, Children Of Bodom would play In Your Face.

So, my party would finally be over and all the nerds would get back to their homes. Well, I would thank the bands and ask them to join me and my mates to see the well kept secrect, Pantera playing live at Tavastia club in Hellsinki. I think I would run out of money before the first bands has entered the stage..

Have a great trashing Christmas party! Who would YOU invite? Drop a comment.

Which is a song with kick-ass guitar riffs? Yeah, sure there are thousands of those, but I must say Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” is on the top of my list “kick-ass songs”. Dimebag’s guitar just sounds so gooooood. For more good guitars, check out my post of Stam1na!

Enjoy this classic man!
