David Bowie

Aghast that it took this long, but definitely. Big time.

When we mention people solo artists like David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Iggy Pop, Paul Mcartney, George Michael, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and John Lennon, we're being serious, cause these guys had a distinguished successful solo career.
But when you mention people like Steven Wilson, James LaBrie and Daniel Gildenlow, we're kinda kidding around, these people are mainly known for their bands and whatever solo tours or albums they did were clearly side projects, they might as well have been singing in the shower, they don't really count as solo artists imo.

This. The only 2 dudes I am taking that have been in bands that I will take here also are Devin Townsend and Dio. Keep em coming guys!

I'll let this go until tomorrow, after that, I'll form the groups. They will most likely be random.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #45 on:** August 18, 2010, 03:58:52 PM »

Sarah Mclachlan. An angels voice.

BRGM · « **Reply #46 on:** August 18, 2010, 04:01:33 PM »

Steve Vai!

73109 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:59:23 AM »

So, these are the groups. I took all your input, and got it to 32 people. There were some dudes I thought deserved it but were not there so I took the liberty of putting them there. All of them are the 5th person in the group. If you guys don't like them being added, I'll take them out. So, 8 groups of 40, and it will run just like Metty's survivor. The groups:

Bruce Springsteen
Steve Miller
Tom Petty
Bob Seger
Bob Sylan

Stevie Ray Vaughn
Eric Clapton
John Mayer
Billy Squire
Chuck Berry

Neil Young
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
Paul Mcartney
Pete Townsend

Ozzy
Devin Townsend.
Ronnie James Dio
Marilyn Manson
Alice Cooper

Michael Jackson
Rod Stewart
Eddie Money
George Michael
Elvis Presley

John Lennon
Billy Joel
Elton John
Peter Gabriel
Jerry Lee Lewis

Iggy Pop
Peter Frampton
David Bowie
Dave Matthews
Prince

Bob Marley
Sting
Neal Morse
Willie Nelson
Van Morrison

Sorry for the last group not having any central theme. So, is this good?

I've never seen an internet community more obsessed with polls and survivors in my life.

zxlkho · « **Reply #49 on:** August 19, 2010, 11:23:09 AM »

I like polls and survivors, but this is getting to be a little much. The frontman survivor that's running now is a complete clusterfuck, so why do you want to run another one?

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #50 on:** August 19, 2010, 11:40:09 AM »

you guys decide to say that now after he went through all that work.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #51 on:** August 19, 2010, 11:40:15 AM »

Really? Metty kept Bruce out? That sucks major assballs.

Bruce and Devy.

zxlkho · « **Reply #52 on:** August 19, 2010, 11:41:44 AM »

I hadn't even posted in this thread until now. I probably should have said something earlier.

73109 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:05:26 PM »

I understand the frontman survivor is a cluster fuck, no offence Metty. Which is why I plan on making this one a tad more controlled.

zxlkho · « **Reply #54 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:07:20 PM »

You can't control the voters, which is 98% of the problem in the other one. It doesn't matter, you can continue to run this if you want and if there is enough interest. I just won't be participating.

Nothing that I've said is meant to bring any offense to you or Metty, of course.

73109 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:09:06 PM »

zxlkho · « **Reply #56 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:11:44 PM »

More like: most people's idea of a frontman has nothing to do with being a frontman at all.

73109 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:14:14 PM »

Yeah, I know. I think a frontman should be limited just to singing voice and in concert stage presence.

KevShmev · « **Reply #58 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:15:59 PM »

I agree with zxlkho, which is why I am not participating in either of the front man threads/survivors anymore. No offense to either of you guys doing it.

Me too, sadly though people will just vote for their favorite without thinking about that. Funnny that no one knows how to vote.

So, should I bag this?

antigoon · « **Reply #61 on:** August 19, 2010, 01:25:19 PM »

I don't visit P&S anyway so it doesn't matter to me. I just made an observation.

Why not? Most survivors are fun. Vote in the final round of the Coheed survivor!

I didn't realize the frontmen survivor is a cluster fuck -which I had to google to understand what it means heh- but is it because people has been voting according to their favorite bands? Everybody is entitled to how they see it imo, I think it's fun and frankly don't understand the point behind all the hostility, but if it's just me then I'll abandon it for sure.

73109 · « **Reply #66 on:** August 19, 2010, 06:28:23 PM »

No. Don't do that.
