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

Of course!

I understand your distaste of thrash. I happen to like it but I understand that it isn’t for everybody. But you should really give Iron Maiden a chance. They have none of the qualities you dislike about thrash and they write very intelligent, melodic and classically inspired music. They aren’t even restrained to metal. https://youtu.be/2G5rfPISIwo

Also I’ve done some metal covers of video game songs you might enjoy.

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

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.

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.

He probably listened to Ice Ice Baby too much.

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.

Jesus To A Child - George Michael

Death Metal Song - Death Metal Band

Death Metal Song - Death Metal Band

One of these things is not like the other.

Mercyful Fate plays Heavy Metal. Death Metal didn’t even exist in the early 80’s.

Getting hit by a car or a bus will kill you either way. One will just do a better job.

Completely ludicrous analogy. That’s like saying my dad who primarily likes classic rock would enjoy Deicide because he sometimes listens to Judas Priest.

Last movie seen
Time

The Crow (1994)
Don’t quite know how I never got around to watching this until today. But I loved it, loved it so much. Even without the unfortunate story behind it it was fantastic. I almost feel like Brandons death added a melancholic and sorrowful physically tangible edge to the film beyond just the foreknowledge that it had happened, which is something that I believe could happen. Whether or not it’s an actual spiritual thing or just the effect it had on those doing the editing, scoring, and General ambiance the post production had is another discussion. But so much of this film struck an emotional chord with me.
9/10

The only reason it’s not a 10/10 is the joke about onions making you fart.

Info: Evidence of TFA Changes in Blu-ray?
Time

I honestly prefer 2.0 surround (sent through DPLII) over discreet surround. Don’t ask me why but i just like the way Dolby surround sounds and the surround effects are almost the same.I just feel like music, sound effects, and dialogue blend better that way. He’ll my old star wars vhs tapes (the vhs counterpart to the 'Definitive Collection LDs) have great surround sound through pl. Obviously the overall audio quality isn’t as crisp because its vhs but the surround effects are, to me, just as immersive.

VINYLVINYLVINYL!
Time

I have an AMAZING classic rock vinyl collection that I inherited from my dad. (Not dead or anything but once cds became the thing he stopped giving a shit about vinyl. Poor confused bastard. Although his CD collection is now quite impressive as well) Every Ted Nugent album prior to 1990, every Led Zeppelin album, every Alice Cooper album prior to 1990, every Aerosmith prior to 1990 (from henceforth when I say every album just assume this unless I indicate otherwise, every thin lizzy, every los lobos, 3 or 4 ac/dc (because let’s face it: every album they make is the same so that’s all you need), several jethro tull, every Eric Clapton, both Jimmy page and Robert plants solo albums, at least 4 or 5 Judas priest, several early van Halen with David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar, all foghat, every KISS, 1 or 2 lynrd skynrd, a couple bockmann Turner overdrive, all the early “classic” electric light orchestra albums, EVERY Stevie Ray Vaughan album, some Vince Gill, several blues like BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Bootsie Collins, several others, and shit. That’s only the bands that I like. There’s a whole bunch more that just never caught my attention enough to listen to, get into them or remember their names.

Unfortunately a short while ago, about a third of them had the sleeves very damaged due to a water leak. Which sucks because that’s where most of the collectibility/value is. But the records themselves are all fine and since I actually like them for their music and I have a nice record player with a sound far superior than CDs at least I still can enjoy them. Oh and some Molly Hatchet.
