Buffalo86 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Slayer, hands down. I'm a big classic thrash guy - never really got into the death metal/cookie monster vocal stuff - not real impressed with that. Give me Slayer, Anthrax. Megadeth, Exodus, Pantera, Testament, Overkill, Metallica, Kreator, COC any day, but even in that group Slayer reigns supreme. Agree that Slayer is king. I've seen them a ton of times, but my favorite was the Big 4 at Yankee Stadium. The order was Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, the Metallica. Slayer played (probably) the best set I've ever heard from them & totally blew the other 3 off the stage. The funny part was that scores of casual fans came late to catch Metallica and were just making their way to their seats as Slayer was wrapping up. They may never know what they missed.

Iron Maiden Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 There's a lot of stuff in here that I'm not familiar with.....I grew up in the early 80's, so I'm stuck in the Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy + Dio Solo also ( I'm old I know...).....I do like Metallica and Megadeth a lot but for the most part, the rest is heavier than what I like.....I have a hard time enjoying death , speed or thrash Metal....there's some good riffs and hooks, but if I can't clearly here the lyrics, it doesn't work for me. I enjoy my metal with some melodies which explains why I love Iron Maiden...the 3 guitars attack since 2000 is awesome. The newer Judas Priest is much heavier than it was in the 80's but it still kicks ass ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This however, is right in my zone....It absolutely rocks ! I like everything from rock to metal but Death will always be my favorite. I always tell my wife when I retire I'm going to form Great Grampa's Death Metal Band. she laughs and says I will have to get a sound proof studio.

Buffalo86 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 This seems like the perfect thread to share this awful, awful song I discovered the other day. The guitar solo at 1:15 made me LOL, and what happens at 2:25 clearly inspired Tenacious D. These guys out spinal tapped Spinal Tap, and I'm disappointed in myself for not having seen this before: R.I.P. RJD Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio, Vinny Appice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4gRBaWhosI I saw these guys in 2007, and Dio's Lock Up The Wolves was my first concert ever. Truly one of the godfathers of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Turn it down! TURN IT DOWN! Ive got children sleeping in here! Dont you boys know any nice songs!? When I was a kid we jammed in Dave's garage. His mother (she was Polish so we called her Madka) would come downstairs when we played in his cellar and yell "the dishes....they're rattling off the shelves." We'd look at each other and say damn straight Modka!! When this song came out it really hit home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're opening for Maiden on the upcoming tour, so chances are you're already familiar. My favorite way to describe them is this: Imagine Alan Parsons becomes possessed, then joins Blue Oyster Cult to sing songs about Satan full-time. I like it. I prefer their earlier, heavier stuff, but Opeth's last few albums have been on the lighter side, with more singing and next to no growling. Check out the albums Heritage & Pale Communion. Mastodon is another great band who have toned it down a bit over the last few albums (Crack the Skye, The Hunter, Once More 'Round The Sun). Also worth checking out. \m/ Edited March 8, 2017 by Buffalo86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Turn it down! TURN IT DOWN! Ive got children sleeping in here! Dont you boys know any nice songs!? We didn't have no dope or LSD but a couple of quarts of beer, would fix it so the intonation would not offend your ear.... c'mon man this is the METAL THREAD now I have to post this to cleanse that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_NAKWJyE9E Metal or no - you never cleanse a thread of Zappa, you poser.
