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?"

I chose Metallica without even thinking about it yesterday, but reading this thread just now and seeing crap like "Slayer is a band to admire not love" and especially "people enjoy saying how much they love slayer more than they actually love slayer" -- which is just total bullshit -- I kinda wish I could go back and vote Slayer. Nobody fucking "pretended" to love Slayer, they were on a whole nother plane during 'Reign' -> 'Seasons'. 'South of Heaven' and 'Seasons of the Abyss' were total OMG can't wait go to the mall and buy it on the first day records. HUGE anticipation

you know there are a lot bands with male members where i can admit there's some ws material in there but this crew is one heap of hair and pale and oof.
that said, they all clean up much nicer now than in the heyday.

Ha, that was me that called them humorless. They're all pretty funny outside the context of the music. I just meant that Slayer's music is humorless.
I interviewed Jeff from Slayer (I think?) not long after 9/11, about how so-called extreme metal bands were reacting to it, whether they were toning anything down, etc. This is when someone called on Anthrax to change their name and Scott Ian made news, briefly, by claiming Anthrax was changing its name to Basketful of Puppies. Anyway, I asked if the band felt weird with Slayer posters all over NYC that said "God Hates Us All," dripping in blood - the album came out on 9/11 - and he was all, "no, because god does hate us all." I thought that was funny.

"We coulda been contenders, eh."
actually, for the metalhead dudes I hung out it with in the late 80s, it was really more like the "Big 2" --> Metallica and Anthrax. Anthrax were just huge around 'Among the Living', we probably listened to that album as much as any Metallica album.
Megadeth never really even entered the discussion. They almost seemed like a novelty band, *especially* after that total garbage Sex Pistols cover. That was so laughable, I totally could not take them seriously, stopped listening to them altogether. So I missed albums like 'Rust in Peace', my loss I guess. I went to that Heaven and Hell tour too, and I didn't even bother showing up for the Megadeth set. It also hurt that they always were less a "band" and more Dave Mustaine + whoever could stand to be around him for a few months.

The metalheads I hung with in high school were really into Megadeth and Anthrax above all else. The latter I think appealed for its mix of thrash and good ol' fashioned stoopid. Don't remember much Slayer love, though iirc everyone liked at least a little Metallica, certainly after "Master" and definitely by "One."

xp Metal is still a boys club, man. An Ozzfest a few years ago was the only time in my life I've ever seen a dude wind up and hit a woman in the face. The women are there, but the dudes run the show. Which is why I give tons of credit to AC/DC a few years back. They were panning through the crowd with a camera, finding women willing to flash the camera. But then they started alternating it with dudes flashing their boobs, too. It was really kind of funny. A good communical time was had by all.

I think my new computer has a built in autocorrect I want to deactivate.
since i was listening to this stuff in the '90s, the cafeteria argument was more like metallica vs megadeth vs slayer vs pantera vs sepultura.

I still have a Metallica sampler mixtape made by the friend who later lent me all his Metallica tapes for that article:
Side ADyers EveHelplessThe UnforgivenOneThe Outlaw TornThe God That FailedMy Friend Of Misery
Side BHarvester Of SorrowFrayed Ends Of SanityPhantom LordAnesthesia - Pulling TeethWhiplashCreeping Death (Live)Bleeding MeCall Of Ktulu
Liner notes: "Anesthesia is Cliff's most famous solo. It starts with just him then Lars comes in with drums and then Whiplash begins. Check out the solo on The Unforgiven. Awesome."
― da croupier, Friday, 16 September 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
