It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?

Ahh, five finger death punch. The vocalist named the band after the beatings he gave his wife.

joking about the name, but seriously- its a shame the band has to have a domestic abuser at the helm

[–] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
