The Music Thread

What, the Tarantino one? I can send you my VHS copy if you want :rofl:.

re your point about bands with a few “meh” albums. I think that’s totally correct.
I don’t think there’s a band that I like that has a big discography where I like them all.

Classic example…Manic St Preachers - Love the first three albums (third one released in 94)…then don’t like anything until Send Away The Tigers in 2007 and haven’t liked anything since.

Oh damn foo fighters and Dave grohl.

You are expected to.

Find it really tough to appreciate slayer.

Megadeth… Yes , anthrax for quite a bit yes , testament … Yes , pantera … Yes , metallica for the most relevant part yes…
And again other bands there machinehead , and the other derivatives.

But just can’t get myself to ever like slayer. The guitaring was way too damn lazy.

Except hanneman’s drumming, I really don’t see anything great there.

I was going to suggest that they are a decent riffing band, but it is largely down to the drums, isn’t it? I suppose “South Of Heaven” worked quite nicely on its own.

Just too damn lazy a band. Sorta like manowar

Very derivative and very bleh.

Both the bands took the worst elements from bands like maiden and priest and took them down further.

For me. Pantera , even if people don’t classify it as thrash , was something that I adored… Even before the retard went and killed dimebag.

Double bass drums with the bass guitar largely following the drummer. Very lazy musical output and terrible production

Not sure if you lot would have heard watch tower. But that was a killer band too.

Manowar always amuse me because of the unintentional homoeroticism. The music is complete dreck, but they probably took their image from Judas Priest as well, without realising that with Halford it was completely intentional homoeroticism.

Eric adams is a good singer. But so were the singers for blind guardian , helloween z, ed guy , and all those other power metal bands.

Remove the shock value and there’s nothing manowar really brought to the table.
