shock he's a musical God. Was in Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, and I know there's more I can't remember. Ask AC about Patton.

ill say Madlib and Stoupe. i never heard anything bad from these two.

If there's anyone to ask about Patton, it's Victor Von Doom. Knows just about everything that's anything about the man.

I know my shit. But he's read all the interviews ever, everything.

I've read most though.

But yes, you get all those "___is God" phrases. If it were to apply to anyone, it'd be Patton.

Like him and his works or not, it's undeniable that he's possibly the greatest musical mind ever.

Danzig's far from genius, IMO. Far, far, far. What's the supporting arguement to this? He didn't do anything incredibly extraordinary?

My vote obviously lies with Jeff Hanneman. He and Kerry King basically created true thrash metal.

Danzig is...... 😐 he has done like 6 differant styles of music and each one was great.

Zack wyld is better than kerry king 😖

also Devin townsend is an alll time ****ing great.

Merely partaking in a genre could be done by anyone though.

Sure Danzig did it well, but that's all he did.

he wrote all the music and lyrics for Danzig & maisfits....
and danzig change genre a few times.. 😐

I'd go with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Muddy Waters, Beethovan, Bach, Prince(as much as I hate to say it) and Dre as people who pop into my mind as musical geniuses. There are many others, I don't have to like their music, but I can appreciate their accomplishments.

Then there are innovators like Neil Young (the godfather of grunge) and people who simple are amazing or uber talented in their particular genre like Bob Marley.

Lennon 😄

Just curious, why do you hate to say Prince, Kharma?

Lennon gets overrated. Yes, I went there.

Hmm I dunno I guess Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Hayden, Wagner....all those are pretty good...then neil Young is really good oh and I think Falco was a genius.....

I am not a big fan of his music or his attitude. That's why I made that statement. The whole thing with the unpronouncablr symbol as a name and some of his other exploits leave me shaking my head.

That being said, just because I don't like him or alot of his material doesn't mean I can't recognize his influence, songwriting, musical and production talent.

Good stuff.
