So you’ve listened to every Thrash Metal album?

They’re all exactly the same.

Wrong. Metallica is nothing like Slayer, Megadeth is nothing like Kreator, Sepultura has hardly anything in common with Kreator, Destruction is nothing like Sodom etc.

Metallica is thrash?

Anyway, what they all have in common is that I can’t hear any of the lyrics when they “sing.” They might as well be using dog whistles, if dog whistles created annoying growls and grunts. And spare me the old man jokes, I’ve thought this since before you were born.

FWIW, I rather enjoy many heavy metal interpretations of video game songs. Armcannon is my favorite of these such bands.

All I can say is that this sounds nothing like this

and yes Metallica is Thrash. They actually invented it.

Well then I’ll never listen to Enter Sandman or Master of Puppets again.

I’ll never listen to Master of Puppets again because they stole a riff from Slayer on that song. The part in towards the middle is kind of beautiful though but I’m not an overall fan of the song .

By the way, I don’t care about any of this. I like a few Metallica songs but I don’t care how anyone wants to classify them. If someone is singing and I can’t understand a word, I don’t want to listen to it. If the drummer is drumming so fast that I can’t tell if he’s playing the drums or a jackhammer, I don’t want to listen to it.

Master of Puppets is one of the few Metallica songs I like.

I’d steal Slayer’s soul if I could. Which I can’t because souls aren’t real.

Not a day in my fucking life have I ever heard someone call Kreator speed metal. I’ve heard them called proto-Death along with Slayer (because Kreator stole Slayer’s sound) but Speed? Lol

People are really weird from their genres. Some say Venom created Thrash and some even say Megadeth’s first album was the first true Thrash album. Fuck if I know at this point.

Eh. I prefer of a Call of Ktulu, Orion, Creeping Death and Battery over Master of Puppets. I will say however that Master of Puppets is better than For Whom The Bell Tolls.

I’d steal Slayer’s soul if I could. Which I can’t because souls aren’t real.

A young Tom Araya would piss on your shoes if you tried.

If you can’t listen to songs whose riffs were inspired/lifted by previous artists, then you’ll have to delete your entire iTunes library.

I wouldn’t go that far but I’ve heard many similar riffs but similar and identical riffs are very different in my mind. Plus it’s bad enough that Kreator (once) and Bathory (a couple of times) stole riffs from Slayer as well. And I was even more furious when I found out Slayer had stolen a riff from Metal Church so much so that I’ll never listen to “Expendable Youth” again.

Altering garbage pop music to incorporate Biblical messages … not sure if that improves the former or devalues the latter.

I honestly can’t understand why a riff being lifted from something else would have any impact on your listening to a song. Especially if you really like this song, why would you just stop listening to it simply because they didn’t necessarily write the whole thing (I still happily watch Ghostbusters and enjoy the catchy theme, even though the riff is lifted off of “I Want A New Drug”).

He probably listened to Ice Ice Baby too much.

[JEDIT]

Nevermind.

According to vanilla ice that song doesn’t even sound like anything by queen. Lol what a joke. I’m glad he got sued over that. It’d be one thing if it was respectfully borrowed or inspired, but he just blatantly stole it, added one extra note, then claimed it sounded nothing like it. At least fess up when you’re busted.

Well in the case of “Expendable Youth” it’s pretty much the main (and best) riff in the song so there’s not much point in listening to it if when before I found out the riff was stolen I listened to that song pretty much only for that riff.

I still happily watch Ghostbusters and enjoy the catchy theme, even though the riff is lifted off of “I Want A New Drug”

Well movies and songs are apples and oranges. There’s still more for the film to offer even the original soundtrack isn’t wholly original.

I’m also curious what your opinion of covers is now.

I don’t have a problem with covers because it’s paying homage in the most overt way and most people do it for fun and not for profit.

South of Heaven is the last good Slayer album anyway.

Reign in blood isn’t that good of an album either. I mean it has 3 or 4 AMAZING songs (Angel of Death, Raining Blood, Altar of Sacrifice) but as an album overall it’s quite boring and repetitive in my opinion.

Hell Awaits… Now THAT’S an album.

Oh wait, Frink doesn’t like it so it’s all garbage.

I disagree. Seasons In The Abyss had Self Titled, War Ensemble, Blood Red, Dead Skin Mask, Hallowed Point all of which were great - amazing in terms of quality.

I definitely think it’s overrated but Necrophobic, Criminally Insane, Reborn and Postmortem easily stand on their own and I’d put Necrophobic and Postmortem > Altar of Sacrifice any day of the week. The only song I really didn’t like all that much was Piece By Piece but even that song as a riff or two that I like.

Hell Awaits… Now THAT’S an album.

Agreed. Masterpiece through and through and without it Death Metal wouldn’t exist.

He hasn’t listened to it or anything similar. I’m sure he hates Maiden too.
