EAT ME!

When it comes to thrash I much prefer bands like Overkill, Testament, Megadeth, Slayer, Death Angel, Exodus, Kreator, Destruction and Sodom.

Talk about sounding similar!! :)

Those bands don't have wah wah addicts on guitar, or drummers who can't quite keep time, or fake macho vocals.

I meant they all sound similar to each other. And a step down from Metallica

A BIG step up from the tired, sell-out posers with a guitarist who can't even play the band's own riffs and needs the drummer to help him relearn it.

Sell-out!! Hahahahahaha..you mean popular, which doesn't equate to sell-out. I have no interest in the present-day Metallica. Their 80's output wipes the floor with every band you mentioned.

Look, I don't like Metallica. I'm never going to like them, now, next week or even if you make this thread a trillion pages long. The answer is always going to be the same. It's not like it's my choice, I just don't like them. If I hear them I have to turn them off. You might like them, I understand that, but I'm never going to like them do YOU understand that? Yeah? Just grunt if you can't agree any other way.

 

Amen!

 

I am the same with Queen

Same here with Guns'N'Roses. Classic rock radio here has discovered them... they're on the list with Skynyrd and Satisfaction as what will make me turn the radio off. A couple of years back, our local classic rock station was giving away tickets for a GNR show, and a younger co-worker was trying to win a pair. He knew I listened to metal most of the time in the shop and I guess figured it would be cool to go to a metal show with the Old Rocker Dude at work. I told him I would go only if I could smuggle in some eggs. I'll just wait for Axl to crank his yap wide open at the mike... SMACK!

I totally get the love for GnR to a point, because I remember hearing them for the first time when I was new to rock and metal and being mesmerised by Slash. But...gets old fast. So many bands of the era I prefer, and I don't like Axl's voice at all. But I also love shitty bands like Dokken and Ratt who are more of a "guilty pleasure" type thing, and I know Roses had better songwriting so...I dunno. Nothing brings me back to them. I prefer the rush of bands of the early nineties like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Mother Love Bone...they have a rawer sound, but so much swag and passion.

 

To each their own.

 

Bands like Queen and Meat Loaf would fit in with my music collection, same as Metallica could Treeduck's, but for whatever reason they don't click with me

Favorite Cliff-era Metallica. They started out pretty good with the first two albums, but MOP had everything going for it. AJFA was somehow awesome and very flawed at the same time. The songwriting saved it. I loved the Black Album. The shows were great. For a short period of time, Metallica was probably my #1 band. I wasn't listening to much Rush or prog or pop at the time. Just on the cusp of our Seattle Era breaking wide open.

 

With what came next, it just gave them a long hard fall.

 

I've been back in the Metallica camp with their last two albums. I'm just not as hardcore about it as I was back then.

It's just that later albums and later hair bands quickly became a copy of a copy really quickly. Too cotton candy. Give me dirt and grease. I know Ozzy himself indulged a bit, but at least some of the songs still stood out.

 

Yeah... Seattle bands. I lived in the BFE district just outside Seattle, so we became inundated with local music. Fantastic time and era, coinciding with prime era thrash metal bands. What a time.

 

Forgot about Meatloaf. Their debut is the 1970's Cadillac Coupe De Ville of albums. In all of its full panoramic, cinescope, shag carpet glory. May it ever shine.

And the Steve Harris statement that he hates punk is really lame and kinda hypocritical.

 

I never heard this punk vibe people talk about with that album. It's just a metal album to me.

Can't hear punk.

 

Can't hear drums.

Running Free has a bit of a punk feel but overall this is a metal album to my ears. As for the drums, yeah, not much has ever stood out to me in Maiden's catalog. But that's mainly because there's so much going on with the guitars and bass. Clive did his job well as does Nicko but the drumming has never been a selling point for me with Maiden.

You’re kidding. Gangland, Running Free, Run to the Hills, Where Eagles Dare. They start quite a few songs with memorable drumming. The drummer in my high school garage band put Burr up there with Neil and Copeland. And McBrain is at least as proficient.

Burr's drums were the very first thing that stood out to me when I first listened to Number Of The Beast. Safe to say his role on that album was no small part of what made me an Iron Maiden fan.

I never said that they didn't have some good drum intros or that Clive and Nicko aren't both very talented at their instrument. But on the whole, their drumming never blew me away. What else can I tell you? It's always been the guitar, bass and Bruce's voice that made me a Maiden fan.

[thesweetscience]

Those are the three songs I am most likely to skip on those three albums.

[Segue Myles]

The debut Iron Maiden album is very punky, but I'd call it metal before I ever label it as punk. But I heard the punk straight away. The first two Maiden albums are so great, it doesn't surprise me that many prefer them to what came next.

Yeah. I think DiAnno brought a punk sensibility to the band, and the up-tempo bits are punk-ish of you take out the lead guitars and lyrics, on the debut in particular (Sanctuary, for example).

 

For what it's worth, early AC/DC was often referred to as having a punk attitude.

Between Metallica's Fade to Black, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and One, I've felt that I haven't been able to decide by voting. I've liked three songs, and the rest of their 80's music.

[RUSHHEAD666]

When it comes to thrash I much prefer bands like Overkill, Testament, Megadeth, Slayer, Death Angel, Exodus, Kreator, Destruction and Sodom.

I am the same with Queen

Same here with Guns'N'Roses. Classic rock radio here has discovered them... they're on the list with Skynyrd and Satisfaction as what will make me turn the radio off. A couple of years back, our local classic rock station was giving away tickets for a GNR show, and a younger co-worker was trying to win a pair. He knew I listened to metal most of the time in the shop and I guess figured it would be cool to go to a metal show with the Old Rocker Dude at work. I told him I would go only if I could smuggle in some eggs. I'll just wait for Axl to crank his yap wide open at the mike... SMACK!

Amazing! I know you are Anti Hair Metal dude but I love your kind of love for RATT. You get it. RATT EP "OUT OF THE CELLAR" "INVASION" OMG!!! EPIC!

 

Warren is a GUITAR GOD!!!

 

DOKKEN too.

 

Lynch is yet another Legend!!

 

Funny, I just watched STARS on a Japanese bootleg dvd. "HEAR N AID" with the bonus footage and interviews.

It gets me so jazzed.

 

I weep when I watch Ronnie speak.

 

Not trying to hijack just give me my typical 2 cents, I mean Ben Franklin. LOL!

 

 

"Say What You Will" about hair metal. Wait, a FASTWAY pun!

 

But man it was a great time in the world. Even Cinderella has to get mentioned. Their first album "looked" totally hair metal but they were a hard rock blues band in the end.

 

It's ok guys and gals.

 

If you don't get it then you don't get it.

 

I love it and I will die listening to all of it.

 

I mean the guitar riff on "Lay It Down" is EPIC.

 

If you who read this post can't hear the melodic magic of that riff then hey,....... to each their own.

 

I'm glad I'm a melodic music whore.

 

It's a safe way to have great sex. With my ears.

 

I can't catch an STD.

I can't get in a fight

Low drama regardless of genre.

I'm sooooo happy!!!

I've never been a Metallica fan. I bought Master of Puppets in 1986 and was very disappointed. I just couldn't get into it. And in 2016 I listened to the whole album on youtube to see if I'd feel differently about it now and see if I'd been missing out, but it sounded just the same, like a bad punk album. I buried that Music For Nation vinyl copy in the pond in the field not far away in 1986 and in 2016 I had no urge to go out and dig it up again! Let Metallica stay buried.

That is THE greatest "speed/thrash/whatever" heavy metal album of all time.

No, MOP is the GREATEST METAL ALBUM OF ALL TIME, not just thrash. This doesn't include all the great proto-metal and 70's hard rock when'heavy metal' was a term loosely thrown around and undefined before NWOBHM helped cement the genre.

I still don't like it.

You did the same thing as Sting in regards to The Police song 'Behind My Camel'.

 

I hated that song so much that, one day when I was in the studio, I found the tape lying on the table. So I took it around the back of the studio and actually buried it in the garden.

 

— Sting, Revolver 4/2000

 

Stewart Copeland was not in favor of the song either:

 

As hard done by as I ever felt in this band, I could always take comfort in the fact that Andy got shafted even worse than I did on that little instrumental. Sting didn't even bother to play on it. Andy played all the bass and guitars, and I only played on the song because there wasn't anyone else to play drums.

'Behind My Camel' beat 'YYZ' for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1982 Grammy Awards.

He copied me! And I did the same thing with Skid Row's Slave to the Grind, Dokken's Shadow Life and Badlands' Voodoo Highway!
