John Petrucci should be put in the "Shredder" category.

I agree about Petrucci, but oh well, at least one DT member is nominated.

I voted.  ;D

What is a Golden God award?  I looked for a description of the award on that website but I couldn't find one.  Maybe I missed it.  What is the criteria and eligibility requirements?  Who did the nominating?

Its organised by the British magazine metal hammer, im guessing they sorted the nominations theirselves, i have to say that they did some of them quite badly. Mainly the shredding one - Zoltan from Five finger death punch was one of the nominee's, and hes only the rhythem guitarist for the band :facepalm:

That band is such a joke...really cannot stand them.  Their lead singer really should just stick to his below-average screaming, he sounds like an absolute buffoon any other time he opens his mouth.

Anyway, voted.

I actually just voted prior to seeing this thread. I voted for White Wizzard, Cantrell, Megadeth, MP, Priest, and I think that was it.

Decided to give up voting, since it turned out I don't know around 3/4 of the bands that are there... I hope MP wins.

And WTF is Judas Priest doing in the same group as e.g. Bullet for My Valentine?!?

The lack of Porcupine Tree in the British Bands was disgusting. Also, the piss poor choices for shredders. How the fuck did Chris Broderick, John Petrucci, or anyone else not make it?

Actually, that is EXACTLY the song that I was referring to when I was talking about his vocals.  My favorite part is the really epically profound spoken section in the middle.  My God.  It's a serious :facepalm: moment.

I saw it on MP's Twitter. I voted in about half of the different categories and left blank the ones I didn't know.

No Petrucci? I hope Mike gets the award though.

That band reminds me of Rev Theory.... A band that I loathe. I expected more from 5FDP, but the've proven me that they're just a bunch of douches who wanted to sound badass. And failed miserably.

Back to the thread: voted.

And now for something completely different: 200th post! yay!

Portnoy doesn't even need to win. He's too good for these idiots. Did you see the other nominees?

Brann Dailor is good enough for the award, easily.
