Pick a replacement

So to go along with the replacement post form the other day I thought that I would ad a topic about replacements you might have picked to fill a position. When Iron Maiden were looking for a singer to replace Bruce Dickinson in the 90's the idea of Michael Kiske then of Helloween was tossed around in some circles. His voice was of a similar style, but in the end Maiden went for a different approach in Blayze Bayley. Slash was auditioned for Poison prior to being in G-n-R, but the spot went to CC Deville. So if you could control the metal universe and reach back and change history is there any replacements that you would have put in a band differently than what really happened?

I would have liked to have seen the late Carl Albert from Vicious Rumors get the Judas Priest or the Iron Maiden vocalist gig. Or Ralf Scheepers of Gamma Ray/Primal Fear would have been great for either as well.

I thought Steve Summers of Pretty Boy Floyd would have been a good replacement for Vince Neil in the Crue in the early 90's.

Is that the same Carl Albert that was in the bad called RIFFIANS Patrick?

cool

- Geoffe Tate would be the ONLY (ideal) "replacement" available for IRON MAIDEN if that were possible.

IMO

Curt-I cringe at the thought of Geoff Tate in Maiden. He has range, but no feeling. I actually think Michael Kiske might have been a good choice for Maiden back in the
90's.
