Trading Places With Metal Faces

Glen Benton If you could change place with any Metal Musician I’m sure your list would be a mile long as would mine. We’re not going to go there. We are going to do just the opposite and keep it shorter. Here is a list of Metal Musicians I WOULDN’T want to switch places with and the reasons why.

1. Dave Mustaine: Although with his musical genius comes the fact that he is one of the most hated metal musicians in the industry. Over the years he has made more enemies than friends. However, I would love to be credited with writing some of the masterpieces he has written.

2. Lars Ulrich: If I was Lars I would kick my own ass.

3. Glenn Benton: A person that takes himself and his music so seriously that he deems it fit to burn an upside down cross into his forehead is as demented as Charles Manson and deserves even less respect. I’m sure your grandchildren will love that, Glenn!

4. Lemmy Kilmister: This guy is more ugly than I am and I just can’t have that.

5. Tommy Lee: I don’t care how big the “T-Bone” is and who it’s been in, Tommy Lee is now in my book the King of Posers and get’s absolutely no respect for abandoning and defiling the Legacy of Motley Crüe.

6. Ozzy Osbourne: The Oz-man has pickled his brain to the point of no return. That and I couldn’t stomach being married to “SHARRROOON!”.

7. Maz Cavelera: I like to wash my hair.

8. Kerry King: I like having hair… the little bit that I keep anyway.

9. Evan Sienfeld: I couldn’t kiss Terra Patrick knowing how many penis’s have been in her mouth…and other places.

10. Sebastian Bach: From Youth Gone Wild to Decrepit Douche bag.

I could probably think of a few more but I think I will leave it at that. Don’t get me wrong. I am a fan and I respect 98% of the musicians on this list. I just wouldn’t want to be them.

Who would you not want to switch places with and why?

    Ahn…. I wouldn’t want to switch with Rob Halford (guess why?)… But I would switch with James Hetfield just to make him sing as he used to do in the 80’s.

    Brett Michaels. I’d kill myself if I was responsible for Unskinny Bop.

    Yeah I don’t think I could live with myself after that either, Trench.

    Great point on Hetfield, Diego. I didn’t weant to go that route with Halford but don’t think I didn’t think about it.

    I don’t know. I could understand if he did it when he was much younger like when he was in his early 20’s or something. You know, when you do shit that you think is cool at the time, but come on…thats a permanent visible act of idiocy.

    I know who Devin Townsend is. He just didn’t make the list. And yes…he’s an ugly dude, but no one rocks a scullet better!

    Mustaine’s opinionated, but he’s right
    Ozzy’s pickled, but was there from the beginning
    Lemmy’s just cool
    None of these deserve to be on the list
    Joey Belladonna, Now he needs to be on the list. Ugly as sin and a little girl besides, nobody whines like Joey.

    This isn’t a list of bad things, Mike. I’m not nailing these guys to the wall…well, not all of them. These are just some that I wouldn’t want to switch places with for various reasons.
