Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Sadly only one of these albums has a bass solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 TULL, and Tull proved it by beating Metallica in their own category at the grammys! Beat them at their own game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 geez, you picked the worst Tull record until Under Wraps comes out. Metal up your arse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Kill Em is the better album, Tull the better band overall. Metallica should have gotten the metal Grammy nod. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Kill Em is the better album, Tull the better band overall. Metallica should have gotten the metal Grammy nod.Ditto.Too Old is one of the weaker Tull albums, but they are (in my view) a miles better band. Are they in any shape or form metal? I think not!

Nova Carmina Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Wow! Good match up; styles make fights. I'd go with Jethro Tull as the better band, but only the variety of sound they managed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm in the minority that I really love that Tull album. I despise Under Wraps, though. Kill'em All is great musically, but too immature for me aside from Four Horsemen. Metallica should have had that Grammy, of course. In fairness it was not just a metal category at that time, and Tull did have hard rock on that album. So they did qualify. That said, it was a stupid choice by cowardly voters afraid of acknowledging what at the time was still a true heavy metal band. For that more than anything Metallica should have won. Choosing Jethro Tull was cheating. And I am a huge Tull fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing Jethro Tull was cheating. And I am a huge Tull fan I like the Tull album, but I don’t love it. I don’t consider it among their best, in terms of songwriting or the energy with which it was played- whereas Kill ‘em All is just loaded with fire, IMO. I pick Tull as the better band (and my more favored band) any day of the week. But I still say Kill ‘em All is a better album than that particular Tull album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Listening to Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! by Jethro Tull is like "pulling teeth" where anesthesia is needed. No pun intended. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i8-agWJqP0 The Tull album was initially released to mixed reviews. I bet all the bass players who learned Cliff Burton's bass solo built up the strength in their fingers from dialing a rotary phone. Would that be the same as using finger strength texting on a smartphone? Edited August 4, 2021 by RushFanForever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 My knowledge and interest in heavy rock/metal, drops off sometime in the nineties but I put Kill 'em All in a very elite category in heavy music, as in, after its' release, something fundamentally changes in the genre Cream - Disraeli GearsLed Zeppelin I Black Sabbath s/tVan Halen IMetallica - Kill 'em AllNirvana - Never Mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to intentionally go off topic with my upcoming comments. Dennis DeYoung who released his last solo album in two volumes recently mentioned in interviews that he considers Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine "the last guitar hero". Young wrote a song in relation featuring Morello on guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rfL2jy7-Ic I would probably add Rage Against the Machine's self-titled debut album from 1992 on the list.

Strong contender. I think a lot of influential albums from that period get outshined by Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
