CKY has quite a destructive sound, but it's not as powerful as AC/DC's. Lots of distortion can sometimes give you a harsher sound, but the power that I hear from AC/DC is unmatched.

boingoman said:Threatening and fierce seem to me to have more to do with how much distortion you use, the style of music, and note choice than the actual sound of the amp.
As far as harmonic content, I find the clean channels on a lot of modern amps to be sorely lacking, a very sterile one-dimensional sound. I haven't played anything by Bogner or H&K, but for me, modern Marshall, Boogie rectifer, and 5150 heads just sound bad clean. No life at all, no character, no rich harmonic content. Plug in guitar, watch tone vanish.

True enough..A old Bassman is dangerous in the hands of a good player

I voted AC/DC from your poll choices, because they are leagues above the other choices musically. Yeah, musically and musician-wise.. shoot me. Scriabin, yeah saw them in concert a few times... great shows. Angus is quite .. energetic to say the least! That guy never ages. He must of started the band when he was 12 or something.
Your poll suggests bands, but your first sentence seems like you want mention of individual players.
Anyway...
You forgot one important big dangerous guitar sound in your poll, and that's Van Halen.
