I've been in a major metal mode. Lot's of Thrash Metal -
Slayer
Kreator
Sodom
Metallica
Anthrax
Testament
I can say it here. I had a rip roaring debate with an old friend about this type of music. He's a Christian fundamentalist. Apparently I'm going to fry in Hell.
Anybody else like this type of metal?

not a big fan of major metal. i liked metallica up to around master of puppets and a few songs off the black album but not a big fan. and don't worry, if you fry in hell, you'll have a lot of cool company. I'm sure i'll be there if you're there. maybe we can stage a revolution or at least start a good band together  |

I flat refuse to listen to the radio, at all.
My musical tastes range from stuff like Slayer, all the way over to country music like Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Dale Watson, and Cody Jinks. I find my music by word of mouth, and reviews from magazines like Vintage Guitar, Classic Rock, and Total Guitar.

I am not a fan of thrash but I was a metalhead in the '80s and still listen to it. Hell, I was listening to Iron Maiden in the care earlier today. I went from a CD full of country stuff (George Strait, etc.) to the Maiden CD.
I didn't discover this until after I was back home, but the last time I lived in London the pub that was my local was one of the first places that Maiden ever played. They had a room downstairs with a stage at one end that they used to let us use as a smoking room and it was in that room that Maiden played.

Up the Irons.
My son has turned into a Metalhead. I was happy with this. He got rid of all the rap on his iPod. NWA gone, Metallica on. Oh, yeah. I can say it here I loath rap, and hip hop. If poncho shows who gets to ban him first?

Love me some thrash metal. Played in thrash bands in my 20's and 30's, slayer is my favorite but I listen to them all. When I went to playing with rock/blues cover bands it was a transition that took a while. Anyway, happy to be here.hello lyrica and colchar and groove toad

We have the "Cooler." a nice little 5x8 hole lined with corrugated steel, a hatch, and a nice lock. We just keep losing the key. |

NSFW, or anywhere else. This is the official video for "Repentless" from the new Slayer album of the same name. A real gore fest. Typical of our Huntington Park, CA. favorites. Beware - GORY VIOLENCE.

I've been in a major metal mode... ...Apparently I'm going to fry in Hell... You get that knife into the hot side of the outlet in your avatar pic, you won't have to wait for hell to fry. My son (the Metal drummer, and quite good at several iterations) turned me onto some pretty good stuff. I liked Stabbing Westward. Some of their guitar parts are intense like shrieking coke bottles in a disposal! pretty cool and different. |

They've played two of the biggest festivals at The San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino. Mayhem, and Knotfest. They got to be the opening act for Cannibal Corpse, and Suicidal Tendencies. Contortion - his band is really making strides. |

My taste in Metal is so antiquated, I'm not sure the stuff I liked is even considered Metal anymore.
But I will gladly pretend I love all of it whenever someone comes along and starts spouting off about damnation.
Silly people are silly. What could possibly be more Metal than a dude bleeding to death on the cross? They freakin' spear him!
And so on...Lulz.

Broke out the geeter and played seasons in the abyss and mandatory suicide. Haven't played them in almost 20 years, remembered them both. Then tried to play angel of death (got greedy), my right hand just failed me. It would take a while to build up to that speed, if I could do it at all. Back in the day I covered it pretty damn good, at least I thought so. Just a little walk down memory lane.

I've been working on The Trooper. I'm trying to get brave enough to learn a Slayer tune. Funny thing, I didn't start listening to Slayer until Repentless came out. My nephew finally convinced me to listen to them. I can see why they scared the hell out of Evangelical Christians, and such. Well, it's supposed to scare the hell out parents, fundamentalists, and such. It was bad enough when I was listening to Iron Maiden. God, I'd get weird looks from people when I wore Iron Maiden tee shirts in college. Reactionaries galore. When I got to UCR, nobody cared. We used to have a preacher named Brother Jed show up at the clock tower and rant about how we were all going to fry for listening to Van Halen. Running With The Devil. The students would start chanting run with the devil, and he'd start ranting and raving even more. Sometimes it looked like he was going to stroke out right there. Brother Jed --  |

The trooper is a good start, once you get the horse trot rythem down the song is relatively simple. If you tackle a slayer tune start with seasons in the abyss, fairly slow but good practice going into the world of slayer. Yep, I lived in Georgia (the Bible Belt) for many years and yeah, I'm gonna burn.

I'm here in So Cal which is a hotbed of so called Evangelicals. I know, I was one of them. I got out of it. The negativity was brutal. "Turn or burn." "The world's coming to an end." Now I'm listening to Slayer. Ha.

Georgia is baptist territory, nuff said there, I'm actually catholic which is the other end of the spectrum. The vast majority of metal lyrics has nothing to do with satan, the heavyness of the music itself is what scares people, at least that's how I always saw it. You can sharpen some pretty cool chops messing around with metal tunes.

You can sharpen some pretty cool chops messing around with metal tunes. You are absolutely right. It's the music. Just like in the Fifties when folks were going off about the rhythm of devil music. It was going to cause youth rebellion, and make them dance crazy. |

Now I'm listening to Slayer. Ha. I sometimes get paid $25, or maybe sometimes a Starbucks $25 gift card, to play music at a couple iterations of "Bikers for Jesus," or sometimes a Pentecostal church (I use pentatonic licks there).  Interesting bunch sometimes. Some nice individuals, but I sorta dissociate when they start foaming at the mouth... |
