    Martin Ain (bass)

Why they might be annoying:

    The band had a very tumultuous history.
    They disbanded after less than a decade together.
    They switched their bassist and second guitarist constantly.
    Tom called himself 'Tom G. Warrior.'
    Their albums often had an overblown 'evil' atmosphere.
    They named themselves 'Celtic' Frost, yet they formed in Switzerland.
    Tom's singing style was rather harsh and guttural.
    The band basically committed career suicide with the release of 'Cold Lake' (it was widely regarded as sounding deliberately commercial) and the band continued to go downhill, leading to their breakup in 1993.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were one of the most influential and prominent European metal bands ever.
    They influenced many black metal bands of the 90's, including Cradle of Filth, Immortal, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, and Darkthrone.
    Critics often labelled their type of metal 'avant-garde,' for its diverse use of female vocals and symphonic passages.
    Collectively, they were influenced by bands like Black Sabbath ,Motörhead, Venom, Blue Oyster Cult, and UFO.
    'To Mega Therion' is regarded as one of the most influential extreme metal albums of all time.
