The announced list includes:
Axl Rose
Sebastian Bach
Tommy Lee
Kip Winger
Reb Beach
Lita Ford
Bobbie Brown
Stephen Percy
Scott Ian
Dee Snider
I don’t have a problem with the list, more or less they are 1980s rockers except for Bobbie Brown, who was married to Jani Lane (of Warrant) and not a musician herself. Personally I would have rather seen a list of stars that are more associated with the hard rock from the 1980s. Topps put together more of a hair band list instead of a heavy metal list, outside of Rose and Lee.
If I was working on the original list I would have went with, in addition to Axl Rose and Tommy Lee;
Ozzy Osbourne
James Hetfield or Lars Ulrich
Bruce Dickinson
Klaus Meine or Rudolf Schenker
David Lee Roth or Eddie Van Halen
Cut signatures from Ronnie James Dio or Freddy Mercury
I wouldn't include Scott Ian with the hair band list.
ReplyDeleteVery true, I spaced on Scott Ian. He definitly fits in the Heavy Metal subset.
