sure but ime it lead to a mass popularization of said term

it is possible that my world of young people is not composed of metalheads

The staying power of 1980s metal has been amply demonstrated of late, with a number of bands garnering well-attended tours and briskly selling albums. One of the speed metal Big Four (along with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth), Anthrax has a good shot at being a band that survives to rock into middle age.

from the Hollywood Reporter, 1998. Earliest citation in Nexis.

and Immaculate Deception

ok not really

i can't compare the four. each is amazing in their own way. one thing i'll say is that Rust In Peace is maybe better than any Metallica record.

and also that this Safe Home such a great fun track and was ace when I caught Anthrax last year. such a well constructed track. it's also one of the best 'love songs that pretend to be about a person but are actually about metal and we'll all realise that but not say it when we sing along at the show' tracks EVAH:

as to why these guys are actually called the Big Four - well, afaict it's just because they were the first + biggest bands of the genre. the designation's been around for quite awhile, I would guess before '98 even but I dunno.

yeah this is impossible

slayer, really, probably, but it's like choosing between one of your really ugly, surly children

^^

if nothing else, slayer have probably been the band i've listened to most consistently over the last 20 years or so. it took a long time to return to the others, probably because i overplayed the classics when i was 11 to 14 or so.

somewhere the dudes in Testament and Exodus are just staring at this thread, stewing with hate

actually, it owns and he should do it all the time.

I had to have this explained to me at Yankee Stadium. After Metallica did "Enter Sandman" some guys in the press room started chanting "FUCK YOU BOSTON (clap clap clapclapclap), FUCK YOU BOSTON (clap clap clapclapclap)." And I was like "What, did Aerosmith just walk in the room or something?"

smh

Mustaine does look alarmingly well-preserved, it's uncanny

otoh he probably sneers/grimaces a lot during teh sexing

o god

GIS for Slayer brings up a bunch of Sarah Michelle Geller pix, so I'm leaning that way.

i asked an IRL girl and she said Frank Bello

I don't think I've ever met a girl IRL who knew who Frank Bello was. Kudos.

what was the gender makeup like at the show? and were most of the women there like wives/girlfriends who didn't seem that into it?

+"kirk hammett" +gay
