    Heavy Metal Chess Set!

    by LjlMetal » Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:34 pm

    I'm going to try to get a Heavy Metal Chess Set made where famous Heavy Metal Performers make up the pieces. I was thinking of Ozzy being the King on one side, and Dio being the King on the other side. I love both Heavy Metal, and playing Chess. What does everyone think of the idea?

    Excellent idea. Would it be singers only or any other band members?

    Alright! I'm having it custom made. I just don't know of the women who are Heavy Metal Performers to be the Queens. If anyone clicks help me out with that, I would appreciate that.

    Thank you. That idea would be funny. One idea I have for the pawns is to have long haired head bangers (fans) with horns as the pawns.

    Another idea I have is to have Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickinson as the Bishops for one side. Maybe some Drum Players as the Rooks, and Guitar Players as the Knights. In just brain storming, right now. I just need some help for the Queens. I'm not familiar with the women who are in Heavy Metal (singer and/or performer). I'm open to suggestions.

    Joan Jett would be worth considering too.

    Plenty of other 'queens of metal' options though if you weren't strictly looking at that sort of 70s/80s era.

    Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)
    Simone Simons (Epica)
    Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation)
    Tarja (Nightwish)
    Floor Jansen (Nightwish)

    Floor would actually make a GREAT queen for a chess set! So 'amazonian'. She would tower over the other pieces :D

    Joan Jett would also be awesome. Plenty of metal queens. I was only offering suggestions based on era. Members of Girlschool would work too, but probably less well known.

    if we're throwing in modern era, Britney Slayes has to be up for consideration too. Maybe even Slymenstra or Vulvatron. You wanna talk about some badasses. lol
