lol WRONG THREAD

okay lol

no this is definitely the right thread

Big 4: Elvis Costello, Graham Parker, Joe Jackson, um, Nick Lowe?

oh man haven't listened to 'battery' in at least 15 years, what a juggernaut

ok more like 10 years but still

it blew my mind when I found out master of puppets was about... drugs!

CHOP YOUR BREAKFAST ON A MIRRRUH

anyway I voted for testament

In this poll its all about Slayer and Megadeth. The other two don't even register, especially Anthrax.

Also, the discussion above about slayer being more admirable than loved is horsehit.I could listen to slayer 24/7, there's new shit I pick up in their music every time I listen to it, and I'm a guy who loved them pre-RIB (I'm 41)

That said, Rust In Peace is the best thing any of these 4 ever put out. Second is South of Heaven.

I gotta hear the hanneman demos mentioned up top.

Yeah, metal is still a boys club, but I'm saying I think it's more inclusive than it was 20 years ago

if you slept on these amazing mixes, get them all right now

nb I agree w/you on this q but seriously these comps...if I were the kind of guy to put mixtapes on my year-end list, at least two of these would make the cut

Thanks in advance for the link to the Hanneman thing, aerosmith.

having a hard time finding it! I know it's out there, I think most of it is on youtube

that's the one I posted upthread, Josh.

Oh, sorry. Been a long thread!

Just gonna mention this real quick because Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is supposedly modeled on Cliff Burton and there's a ton of Metallica on the soundtrack, so some may be lured into watching Hesher, but...don't. It's a piece. Of. Shit. Tried to get through it this afternoon, bailed right after JGL started doing bonghits with the little-kid character's grandmother.

was thinking about this last night, and I think one of the reasons that I find myself listening to megadeth more now is that dave mustaine seems the most like a regular guy, as a frontman, narrator, storyteller. you'd think that anthrax would totally clean up on the "regular" guy front, what with the skateboards and shorts and all, but I think joey belladonna's delivery is definitely a bit pompous and over the top. not to criticize joey b.

"let's all sit around the campfire and listen to uncle dave spin us a yarn about nuclear armaggeddon!" "breakfast with dave was nice, but he sure gets grumpy about politics..." "nice impression of a surly teenager, dave!"

Thanks aerosmith- I'll do some digging.

Mustaine is a pretty intersting guy. Shockingly, he was somewhat self-deprecating in his book. I always had the impression of him as totally pompous. I liked the book.

did he use a lot of ellipses in the book?

and

It seems like after that, no one seemed to hold the office of the President in such high regard.
Mustaine: Not anymore. I don’t think so because of the things that have taken place and the mistrust. Plus when you look at “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying,” what the whole concept behind that whole album is pretty much about — us as a people and the youth of America as an individual … I don’t want to say “faction” that’s the wrong word, but an entity, on its own. The youth of America being justified, finally, coming of age, and being able to look at things and being able to say ‘You know what? I don’t want this Manchurian Candidate as our President.” Back then, it’s the same thing now. I look at the way Obama has been selling our country off and all the ways things are happening and the way that our economy is plummeting. Why won’t we tap Alaska? And why did we take so long to act on the Gulf? Why did we take so long to act in Libya? Why?! Where’s his birth certificate? You know what, that birth certificate he showed everybody … I remember buying one of those to go buy booze. Hello Obama. C’mon dude, they used to sell those in the back of Creem magazine for $3.

yeah, yeah. cranky old uncle dave...

Well, if there was anyone I'd expect to buy into a host of conspiracy theories, it's Mustaine. I mean, come on.

Needs to be in this thread, if only because it's the only song by any of these bozos that I remotely care about:

Ranking their rap collabos

Anthrax & P.E. > Slayer & Ice-T >>>>>>>>> Anthrax & UTFO > Metallica & Ja Rule

Ice-T doing Exploited's "UK 82" as "LA 92" = <3

long conversation about the judgment night soundtrack on the train ride home or gtfo

over the years since its release it's been a source of constant surprise to me to learn what a profound effect it had on cats who were young-ish when it came out - it's such a touchstone in some ways

love Slayer & Reign in Blood arguably perfected the form, but in terms of innovation AND quality control, you just can't get past Lightning & Puppets imo

Wife says Megadeth btw. altho she also said she didn't know what Slayer looked like.

Slayer.
Easily.

She should be able to guess what Slayer looks like.

This just has to be Metallica.

you mean for the WS question, right?
