Titans Of Thrash

[irbsk8ing]

ya i've heard darkness descends by dark angel and i like it. well thats depends u call thrash. i like metallica, megadeth, shadows fall, motorhead, hatebreed, static x, pantera, chimaira, dream theater, marilyn manson and a bunch that i just cant think of right now

[GraveRobbersINC]

well metallica, megadeth, and motorhead are thrash. Pantera is borderline, and the rest is not thrash.

[irbsk8ing]

well then name me some thrash and i'll tell u what i've heard and wat i like

[GraveRobbersINC]

coroner, testament, exodus, anthrax, dark angel, stormtroopers of death, slayer, metallica, megadeth, sepultura, venom, kreator, vio-lence...umm...thats all I can think of now.
EDIT: Death Angel

[irbsk8ing]

i've heard of and i like exodus, anthrax, dark angel, slayer, venom, metallica, and megadeth. i havent any music by the rest of the bands

[RCA]

Yay, a thrash thread! Can I join the clan? I've heard DD many many times (its a shame Dark Angel didnt get much respect), and ive heard many other great thrash bands. I also hate posers with a passion. So, how about it?

[Corporal Compendia]

SWEETNESSSSSS! Can't you smellll the Sweetness?!?! :thumb:

-------
You know guys, if someone were to tell me that Cloak and Dagger by Witchfynde wasn't the coolest song ever, I'd have to say they're lying. :lol:

[MAthiAS]

question... someone want to reccomend me some Exodus, Coroner, and Testament?

I picked up Practice What You Preach last week, its awesome

[GraveRobbersINC]

Exodus-Bonded By Blood, that album kicks ***(BBB, A lesson in Violence, Metal Command, yeah just buy the album, its great)
and as for Testament-The Legacy is supposed to be the best, I've heard some of The New Order which I like a lot
Coroner-Everyone says Punishment for Decadence, and RIP are the best. I've only heard the song Die By My Hand.

[ThrashMaster27]

I'd like Punishment For Decadence if the vocals were more hearable. Album wise for Coroner, I'd get anything but Grin. It's good, but it's not very Thrash-esque. Exodus you need Bonded By Blood, but Tempo Of The ****ed and Fabolous Disaster are both great albums aswell. All the Testament albums are great in their own way but I recommend The New Order over anything else.

[sensitiveorgan00]

The Legacy = Testament's best album.

Why?
It has Apocalyptic City.

\m/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[Griffin_Page]

For Coroner, get R.I.P... personally I don't dig Ron Royce's vocals, but the music on its own is just awesome... technical thrash riffing at its best.

[ThrashMaster27]

The Legacy = Testament's best album.

Why?
It has Apocalyptic City.

\m/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

You actually said The instead of Teh....I'm suprised. The Legacy is a great album......Over The Wall, Burnt Offerings, First Strike Is Deadly etc etc. Think I might have a listen to it now actually.

[sensitiveorgan00]

^ Oh shi.t, I did. :p whoops.

Hmmm, I need some more Testament. What are some good songs/albums when they started playing more death metal?


NP: World Sinfonia - Libertango. You guys should listen to this stuff, good stuff.

[RCA]

Try "The Gathering". There's some pretty heavy songs on that album.

[DimebagDarrell]

Low, The gathering and Demonic but i would say demonic was the worst of the lot

[RCA]

I forgot to say that if I join, my album acronym will be PTK for Pleasure To Kill.

[DimebagDarrell]

SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman recently spoke to the Rock N Roll Experience web site about the group's upcoming CD, METALLICA, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine and his past drug use. The following are some of the highlights of the interview:

Rock N Roll Experience: What did you think of METALLICA's progression?

Jeff Hanneman: "I guess you could say we saw it coming, because even back in the day when they were heavy as ****, Lars [Ulrich] was into some kind of new wave bands and he was always talking about that kind of crap, so you can see it coming, but I don't know, we listened to punk and stuff like that and we are not listening to metal or whatever, so there was no reason for us to change."

Rock N Roll Experience: What do you think of [MEGADETH mainman] Dave Mustaine finding God after he got sober?

Jeff Hanneman: "I don't know [laughs]. All I know about him is I used to like his guitar playing a lot, I liked his first few records, of course I liked his stuff when he was in METALLICA and I liked his solos because they were like really technical, but they had an anger to them with a little over-the-edge type of sound, but his last few albums were just too commercial for me. Personally, I think the guy is a little out of his mind, but I get along with him."

Rock N Roll Experience: Did you have any drug problems?

Jeff Hanneman: "Well, me and Tom (Araya) and some of my friends, we used to really be into cocaine, and like one day Tom was dropping me off at home and I think it was 7 or 8 in the morning and I think it was after two days of staying up and he's driving and I'm shoving **** up his nose & I'm taking stuff and this can lead to only death or something, this is going too far. So I quit and he quit and I think he (Tom) just smokes pot now and I drink and that's about it. We quit because I was taking pills and doing all of that ****, it was just like, one day, you know what, it's enough!"

Rock N Roll Experience: When is the new SLAYER CD coming out?

Jeff Hanneman: "I think we are gonna go in January, we were trying to get it out this year & it turned out that way because Rick Rubin [American Recordings head honcho] is changing distributors again like always and we figured why do the record now and have it sit on the shelf."

[Jamie FT]

yeah i read that on www.blabbermouth.net it's pretty cool, slayer gonna release a new album soon!!! :thumb:

[DimebagDarrell]

I forgot to say that if I join, my album acronym will be PTK for Pleasure To Kill.

I think i can say safely you can join, you have heard darkness descends loadsa times so yeah anyway your name should now be changed too

HELL YEAH

Moshes

:evil:

[Jamie FT]

Let's just hope it won't be another "st.anger" but this is slayer! \\m// they can never do a bad album............................or can they??? :confused:

[RCA]

I'd have to say that God Hates Us All disappointed me a bit, but i'm excited for the new album. Dave's back!!!

[Jamie FT]

yeah GHUA wasn't fantastic, don't get me wrong it was still very good, just not slayers best

And hell yeah to dave being back!

[Bartender]

I'd have to say that God Hates Us All disappointed me a bit, but i'm excited for the new album. Dave's back!!!

I actually liked God Hates Us All. It wasn't absolutely fantastic or anything, but I never understood why the fans ripped it apart so.

[DimebagDarrell]

I'd have to say that God Hates Us All disappointed me a bit, but i'm excited for the new album. Dave's back!!!

God Hates Us All was poor for slayer standards but was still better than alot other stuff released at the time actually i think Diabolus In Musica was worse

[RCA]

Yea, DiM was pretty bad...

[FatalEnergy]

everything of theirs after Seasons.... sucked

[DimebagDarrell]

SLAYER Frontman TOM ARAYA: 'Live Peacefully And Love One Another'

SLAYER frontman Tom Araya recently spoke to the Denver Westword about his band, his voice, prison letters, child rearing, God, world music and exploiting Satan for fun and profit. Several excerpts from the interview follow:

Westword: Do you still get letters from incarcerated people?

Tom Araya: "Yeah. They're pretty out there. It's like 'Man, dude, maybe it's a good thing you are in jail.' They're genuine letters. I know that they're kids. It's great that SLAYER inspires them to carry on. There's hope. Which is really odd to be saying. People say that listening to SLAYER has helped them along in crucial parts of their life. I've gotten letters from Marines and different branches of the military. They're pretty trippy, too. Actual accounts of them in Iraq listening to SLAYER while they're doing what they do. I'd like to think that it's the music giving them aggression and strength. It kind of recharges your batteries. It's like some of these athletes that we've met listen to SLAYER to get 'em pumped up. Mostly in hockey and football."

Westword: What's the biggest misconception people have about SLAYER?

Tom Araya: "The obvious one: the Satan stuff. I'm not here to fault anybody. And I hate to say this, but Christ came and taught us about love. About doing unto others. That was his preach: Accept each other for who we are. Live peacefully, and love one another. Period."

Westword: Do you believe in God?

Tom Araya: "I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God."

Westword: Can you see how people might miss that message in your music?

Tom Araya: "Yeah. And I don't fault them for that. Songs are open for interpretation, you know? It's like we can both be looking at a flower, but the information that we absorb is different about that flower."

Westword: But SLAYER is not about spreading the love.

Tom Araya: "SLAYER's about what we enjoy. Putting together some really cool songs. Like on 'God Hates Us All'. There's some really good stuff in there lyrically that just blows my mind. That's something that intrigues me about what I write. The serial-killer stuff is like, 'What thought process led you to this?' It's like everyone has been asking for a sign. The Twin Towers were a ****in' sign! Actually [September 11, 2001] was the release date of 'God Hates Us All'. We did a midnight signing at a Tower Records. They had over 3,000 kids there. We were supposed to fly out the next day and start a tour in Europe."

[JMetallica]

Actually [September 11, 2001] was the release date of 'God Hates Us All'. We did a midnight signing at a Tower Records.

Tower Records eh?...

[Toozey]

According to the GHUA poster on my wall it was 10th September 2001

[DimebagDarrell]

Well i was just simple cutting and pasting lol thats what it said


edit: Actually now i think about it, it was 10th september it came out

[Toozey]

Stupid tom.

[JMetallica]

Exploiting satan and senseless destruction... :(

[Jamie FT]

I've just taken this from www.metalhammer.co.uk

22 Jul 2004 Slayer are now looking to begin recording their as yet untitled new studio album in January.

Chimaira guitarist Matt DeVries told Metal Hammer.co.uk: "I've heard some demos and it's awesome dude! It's a mixture of all of Slayer. I don't know how to describe it properly, but if I had to it's a mix of 'Reign In Blood' and 'God Hates Us All'. It's killer!"

Slayer axe man Kerry King dismissed DeVries interpritation in an interview with Hammer saying: "If we crossed 'God Hates Us All' and 'Reign In Blood' it's be fast, balls out chaos! [laughs] Well if you ask me that same question I'd have said 'God Hates Us All' and 'Seasons In The Abyss'. The new record has got some heavy stuff on it with guitars tuned to B, and Jeff's got one with another clean intro which we haven't done since... ****, '213'."

[manuscriptreplica]

Drop B tuning??? Slayer's gone Mallcore!!!

Chimeiera are coming to my hometown soon. Not that I will see them or anything.

[Kreator]

now i'm not really looking forward hearing the new slayer album...

[Toozey]

He didn't say Drop B, B tuning, they tuned to B on GHUA aswell.

[manuscriptreplica]

What is the difference?

[GraveRobbersINC]

I don't think it's detuning, mabye I'm wrong
In any case, At War With Satan or Welcome to Hell. I need new Venom...right now.

[Toozey]

What is the difference?

B tuning = BEADGB or BEADF#B
Drop B = B, F#, B, E, G#, C#

[manuscriptreplica]

Welcome to Hell! The original classic! Far better than Black Metal, I think.

[GraveRobbersINC]

:eek: Never, Black Metal is the best album of all ****ing time!

[Corporal Compendia]

At War With Satan > Black Metal > Welcome to Hell by miniscule amounts for each...

Though all 3 own really.

[GraveRobbersINC]

Well At War With Satan is about a 2 mile bike ride. Welcome to Hell could take all day to get to.

[AParanoidIronMan]

black metal > welcome to hell > at war with satan

although this would be reveresed if you took only 1 song from each albums and stood them next to each other

at war with satan > in league with satan > buried alive

[manuscriptreplica]

Heh... Welcome to Hell is more thrashy, whilst Black Metal and At War With Satan are just in a genre of their own. Black Metal is cool, groovy metal, which is very enjoyable, but I reckon Welcome to Hell owns it severly.

[DimebagDarrell]

Black Metal then Welcome to Hell for me i havent heard enought at war or in league iwth satan too say how much i like them

[RCA]

I'd go with At War With Satan, since that'd be the easier choice for you, but definately look into getting Welcome To Hell.

[RCA]

*takes thread and throws it to the first page*

[JMetallica]

Black metal is ownage. The song is venom's best. :D

[RCA]

^^^ Agreed.

[RCA]

Sorry for the double post, but have any of you heard of Deathchain? They're a thrash/death band from Finland. Check em out! www.deathchain.com

[GraveRobbersINC]

Deathchain is pretty good, their lead singer reminds me of the guy from Zyklon.

[DimebagDarrell]

Anyone heard any O.L.D.? if so any good?

[Ratmevilempire]

God****,i leave for like a week and we have like 5 random newbies,no offense but im just surprised.Anyways,I saw Alice Cooper last night for $10 it was pretty awesome.He really is a legend and he still does the whole stage show wioth the snake and the dummy,its campy but good fun at the same time.Foghat (the guys with the song slow ride, and the one that goes make love to you or somethin like that) opened and I met them and got them to sign my ticket.Anyways it was all good till i missed the train so me and my friend ate ice cream till the next one got there than we went to dennys for a 2 am club sandwich.Just thought you might wanna know,that makes me wonder,does any one else here like alice cooper?

[Griffin_Page]

Alice Cooper kicks ***.. great riffs, awesome lyrics, and the original bad guy in heavy music.

only $10? how did u manage that?

[Ratmevilempire]

local radio station rolled back concert ticket prices to 1970's prices :) too bad i already had tickets for most of the concerts.I might go to deep purple just because its only $10.

[Jamie FT]

[GraveRobbersINC]

Woah I just realized I'm at 500 posts, thats not much of an accomplishment but I'm **** proud of it. :chug:

[Griffin_Page]

Bah, post counts don't really matter.

[Jamie FT]

[DimebagDarrell]

i wana get to 1,000 eventually

Alice Cooper is cool i have on of his best of's which actually thought was crap the definative alice cooper is better


WERE NOT WORTHY

[Kreator]

eventually? 1000 should be no problem to reach

[Corporal Compendia]

Woo! Today is the fuuuuckin' day!

Anvil! Razor! Exciter! Infernal Majesty! War Machine! Goat Horn! (and more)

OLD! SCHOOL!

There will never be a better Canadian show than this again. Only bands it's missing are Voivod, Sacrifice and Slaughter. (Both Sacrifice and Slaughter have been in talks about a reunion too!!)

SHAME! on anyone in Ontario that's not going!

[DimebagDarrell]

ANTHRAX singer John Bush has been in the studio finishing up the vocals for the group's upcoming collection of Joey Belladonna/Neil Turbin-era songs performed by the band's current lineup, dubbed "Metallum Maximum Aeturnum". According to guitarist Scott Ian, the band may change the title of the collection to "Old School, New School, Our School: Metallum Maximum Aeturnum" or "Metal Thrashing Mad: Metallum Maximum Aeturnum". "We'll mix it when we get home after Budapest and it's scheduled for release November 8 in Europe and November 23 in the States," he said. "Australia is in there as well. Both releases will have different extras. I think the Japanese release (a week before Europe) comes with a puppy."

[GraveRobbersINC]

Cool, be interesting to see the new guy do the old stuff. I wanna hear him do Caught in a Mosh.

[GraveRobbersINC]

Hey, Metallica is coming to chicago next month. Do you think it would be a good show to go to as my second real concert? They still play some of the old stuff and I've never seen them live before. What do you guys think?

[DimebagDarrell]

Its metallica they are amazing live or not i say go!! i have been to see them they were unbelivable even without lars

[GraveRobbersINC]

lol I'm going then :thumb:

[Girl-Playing-Bass]

I'd say they still kick it live, but James' voice is really bad now live, at least of what i heard, when they were in Holland just a couple of weeks ago. His voice, gah!

*Carries the thread on her bleeding shoulders to the first page while walking through fire*

[GraveRobbersINC]

lol, yes bumping threads is hell to do :lol:

[_GanondorF_]

yes his voice sucks live, but you dont notice it at the time so its all good...i only noticed listening to recordings :D

[Shady Ultima]

James can't sing anymore, but apparently, from what I've heard the music is still there. I'd obviously rather see Slayer. I wanna see Voivod though, I've been gettin into them a lot.

[_GanondorF_]

^ get a new avatar lol

[Jamie FT]

Metallica are amazing live, i've seen em 3 times , at download, at leeds carling festival, and at earls court london

anyway definately go and see them, specially since they generally play the older stuff live (at least they did when I saw them) :thumb:

[Shady Ultima]

Well... Guys I don't even know if I have a band anymore right now, so those recordings of my band, they're not happening anytime soon. So if anyone was lookin forward to it, sorry guys. I'm trying to form another band, but it won't be only thrash it'll also have a lot of more alternative style songs.

[Corporal Compendia]

Well.. the show! Is over...

Goat Horn, Anvil and Razor were all amazing... freakin' amazing!
Sadly, not many people showed up, but the crowd was still intense for Razor's recording.
War Machine played a good set... they did a great cover of The Trooper for their last song.
Horde of Worms were good... and Exciter were good. The other locals bored me... and I left before Infernal Majesty came on, but only because they're playing in my city on August 3rd. (BTW, ratmevilempire, that's at the Dungeon with Wetwork and Evirus, so go!!)

[Kreator]

Well... Guys I don't even know if I have a band anymore right now, so those recordings of my band, they're not happening anytime soon. So if anyone was lookin forward to it, sorry guys.

[DimebagDarrell]

Hmmmm

Motorhead

Unholy Alliance [Slayer & Slipknot]
Dragonforce

Machine head were UNBELIEVABLE at download so seeing them again would be kool but i wana see motorhead. arrrgghh i cant afford all of them plus if i go to see slayer i wont be able to afford anyothers :(

[Kreator]

[DimebagDarrell]

^

****! forgot Dio as well, wouldnt mind seeing him

Im thinking the cheaper gigs too

[lilpete86]

I wouldn't mind seeing machinehead again they were amazing at download

[Jamie FT]

Yeah machine head were amazing at download, I'm gonna see them and slayer hopefully in october

Heres a lolly pop. :p

And that tribute album looks interesting, lots of decent bands and only a few shockers, which is fairly rare for tribute albums. Look foward the hearnig the dark angle and motorhead especially. And I wonder if "Members of .... JUDAS PRIEST" means Halford might make an appearance? That would be something special hearing him sing Enter Sandman. :D

[lilpete86]

That tribute album sounds pretty cool. I'd love to hear the death angel and dark angel ones.

[DimebagDarrell]

I think lemmy singing Whiplash will sound amazing :thumb: and trapped under ice by dark angel will be heavy as

[milano mosh]

10. DARK ANGEL – "Creeping Death"
Oh my ****ing god. That is going to kick *** :)

[Shady Ultima]

****, that Metallica Tribute loos amazing, Can't wait to pick that up. I'm glad that there aren't any songs off any after black. If there was any off Load or Reload, or St. Sellout, I'd be upset.

St. Sellout :lol:

I've never heard it called that before, hehe.

Not thrash but has anyone heard Immortal-Sons of Northern Darkness or Morbid Angel-Altars of Madness, yeah, both great.

[lilpete86]

They are both amazing albums. There is a hell of alot of thrash influence in altars its not all death metal.

[GraveRobbersINC]

True, I only heard it while getting attacked and molested by a dog only to be laughed at by my stupid friends :upset: , the dog has some obsession with humping me when I have my Iced Earth shirt.

The re-releases include seven albums from the pioneering metal band, along with a new, never-before-heard version of a MEGADETH-related side project, MD.45. "I have finally gotten to go back and make everything that I was hearing in my head available to the fans, so that they can experience the songs the way that I feel they truly are in my soul," says Mustaine about his massive project on Capitol Records. "Some of the songs just didn't turn out the way that I wanted them to when they were first made, due to money restrictions, technology limitations and so on. I believe now that there is nothing standing in the way of what I felt when I wrote these songs and how you will be able to hear them."

This chat will give the winning fans a chance to learn more about Mustaine’s motivation for the re-masters, as well as all the work that went into preparing them for release. Fans will also be able to hear more on the band’s new material to be released on Sanctuary Records on September 14.

[DisposableHeroes]

why not?

[Shady Ultima]

Probably same reason I can't. You can't find much good thrash around where I live. Slayer is the best, or Exodus. I think the best local music store has 4 bands.

[Kreator]

yeah. i can only get the popular bands. i tried to get darkness descends on ebay but meh.. :( there's the leave scars lp should i by that one?

[hamstercaster]

*bump* 5th page!! for shame

i am really getting into this death angel album :thumb:

How does it compare to Act III and the one with Voracious Souls (can never remember the name of that album)

[DisposableHeroes]

yeah. i can only get the popular bands. i tried to get darkness descends on ebay but meh.. :( there's the leave scars lp should i by that one?

The Ultra-Violence is the one with Voracious Souls, correct me if i'm wrong. I liked the new album from them, but it doesn't top Act III in my opinion.

[DisposableHeroes]

does anyone know if Jim Durkin is with the reformed Dark Angel?

[lilpete86]

I think he is

EDIT: Actually scratch that he isn't

[DisposableHeroes]

dammit, who is then? Or are they performing as a four piece?

As long as Hoglan's in, it will be good.

I imagine some idiot will manage to win that thing with Mustaine... "Risk was Soooooo Awesum!" and it would wreck it for everyone. And some supremist bastard will be having a go at him for releasing everything after Rust in Peace.

SLAYER frontman Tom Araya recently spoke to the Tucson Citizen about the group's July 11 show in Augusta, Maine which was recorded for an upcoming live DVD. The band, who played the 1986 album "Reign In Blood" from start to finish at the gig, were focused on just the final minute of "Raining Blood", the closing song on the 10-track record.

"It's kind of like little kids waiting for a new toy. 'Here it comes. Here it comes,' " Araya said, laughing. "The effect we were trying to achieve only happens at the end of the album, the last minute ... . And when it happened, it was great."
Araya was a bit cagey about the specifics of the special effect that made him so giddy, but he offered a clue. "The album title gives it away. It looked really, really cool."

"Reign in Blood" was SLAYER's third album and the first produced by Rick Rubin for his Def Jam label. Araya wants Rubin to produce SLAYER's next album, which he hopes will see the band in the studio by the end of the year.

"If not Rubin, someone like Rubin, who will work like Rubin. In other words, who will be a part of the process," Araya said, adding that Rubin is very hands-on and acts, necessarily, like a "referee" for SLAYER. Rubin was somewhat involved in the band's 2001 album, "God Hates Us All", in terms of financing and suggesting who should do the final mix.

"He's got an ear for sounds and for talent ... to find people who are really good at what they do," Araya said.

A dozen songs have been written for the forthcoming album, with just some tinkering and lyrics to be done. Because of Ozzfest, Araya notes, the band is in "pause mode." The record, Araya promises, will sound like SLAYER. "You can take my word on it that it will always be very SLAYER," he says. "We'll stick to the core."

Hey, this is an article from my local newspaper, about Metallica's movie. I think some of you will get quite a laugh out of it

"As Dr.Phil is eager to tell you, relationships take work. Metallica learned that the hard way. When longtime bass player Jason Newsted departed and singer guitarist James Hetfield checked himself into rehab, like a long married couple, the band was forced into facing its demons.
So they got their own Dr. Phil to save the day, by way of a counsellor who went as far as to relocate his family to San Fransisco to be near the band and engage the members in intense daily therapy seesions. He even attended recording sessions for their first studio album since 1997, appropriately named St.Anger.
That was back in 2001, and it's all documented, along with plenty of other inside glimpses in the movie Metallica:Some Kind of Monster; which opens friday in Windsor.
The therapist, who was at times rumoured to be recieving $40,000 US per month, stopped working with the band when they went on tour last summer, but he is still in constant contact with drummer Lars Ulrich.
"We got all our crap worked out, figured out, and so on" says Ulrich, on the road from a tour bus outside Reno, Nev. in March.
"He was certainly a major part of getting the band back on course and saving the band's relationship with each other," Ulrich adds.
The drummer; who'd never been in counselling before, concedes that not many bands would go to such extremes to stay together.
"We kind of had to," he says, laughing. "In some ways we have always been survivors, and always wanted to taked it to the next step. We were never willing to let all these issues get in the way. I think it's kind of unusuals, but at the same time it's not shocking to me that we would go to another level to do that.
"The problem was that we realized we had spent 20 years together without getting to know each other very well
"I came gome from a session one day and I told my wife, 'I feel like I'm getting to know James Hetfield again'. There was a long pregnant pause and she said, 'Maybe you're just getting to know him for the first time.'"
Sounds like a man who's undergone therapy. When it's put to him that he and Hetfield's controlling ways might have jeopardized the band, he says: "If you choose to look at it as a problem. It's also a blessing, because it made us as strong as we are. But it also makes it a little tense," he adds, with a knowing laugh.
If it all sounds surprisingly self-aware and grown-up for a band that partied and cursed up a storm for the better of two decades, remember that Metallica has never been a perfect fit in the heavy metal department.
Although fans always return to the fold, Metallica has had, over the years, lots of 'splainin to do.
While the 1991 Black Album is considered a classic by fans, big reaching albums like 1999's S&M, with the San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra, left many confused.
And in 2000, when the band became the very loud ringleaders of the anti-Napster campaign with a lawsuit of their own, fans were angry at a cause that appeared to be less about rocl 'n' roll and more about protecting one's assets.
"It's certainly obvious that we've had a love-hate-love-hate relationship with a lot of people who are very passionate about what we do," says Ulrich, a former professional tennis player from Copenhagen. "Because we refuse to be branded and stuck in this particular way of doing things. And a lot of hardcore fans of hard rock and heavy metal bands want their band and their records and everything in a particular way. If you stray away from that then you are sellpiuts, and the whole world turns upside down, you know? And for the greater number of fans it's been an awesome ride for 20 years, but we still seem to be the band that always gets opinions out of people, which has certainly polarized som fans. So we always just felt that we do what we do. We write a kind of music, and obviously it's mostly heavy metal, but there are some other things that we do and sometimes those definitions become a little limiting, you know?"
While Ulrich is talking, a child can be heard in the background. He's been taking his kid snowboarding while on the road, he says. Metallica may hold serious credibility with teenagers -- last year they were paid tribute on MTV's Icon show, with songs covered by Sum-41, Snoop Dogg and Avril Lavigne -- but both Ulrich and Hetfield hit the age 40 milestone this last year. They have entered the rarified air of metal veterans with cachet so strong and sales so formidable (in the 100 million region), that they are widely considered one of the top five most powerful and influential bands in the world.
"This whole concept about the size of us is something that's been put upon us. ... I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that in some ways our best is still ahead of us. You force yourself to think that in order to stay creatively relevant or semi relevant. We try to keep that 'revered status' as much at bay as possible so we don't end up kind of phoning it in, you know?"
No one would accuse them of picking up the phone when it came time to record St. Anger, released last year after a few setbacks. The album is produced by longtime friend and producer, Vancouver's Bob Rock (of Payolas fame), who produced the band's 1991 eponymous so-called Black Album and broke the band through to the top of the food chain. The album broke at No. 1 and sold more than 12 million albums, fuelled by songs Enter Sandman, Wherever I May Roam, The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters. It broke Metallica through to the mainstream, but as is always the case with the band, also temporarily alienated fans of previous albums, such as the epic Master of Puppets and And Justice for All.
St. Anger has generally been embraced by fans, marked by a hugely successful Summer Sanitarium tour last year that featured Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. When Metallica arrived on stage, it was like the gods had finally descended. But for Metallica, they raked in a feel-good vibe more than the cash.
"You could call that pretty close to a wash," says Ulrich. "It was not a very profitable tour."
If the Summer Sanitarium tour was an ego booster, the video for the title song from the album -- shot on location at San Quentin prison among death row inmates -- brought them back down to earth.
"I thought it was kind of humiliating and I guess intimidating," says Ulrich. "It was 'Wow. What am I doing here? Whose bright idea was this?' It was an incredible vibe, it was one that I'll treasure. But it was still intimidating. I'm glad I got a chance to experience it, but it was definitely a bit crazy."
The band's demographic is no longer restricted to long-haired boys who feel a Metallica T-shirt is their armour against a cold, hard world. Their demo these days spans age groups and lifestyles.
To a lesser extent, the Metallica line-up has also had some turnover. Bass player Newsted had replaced Clifford Burton, who'd died in 1986 after Metallica's bus crashed while touring in Sweden. Ulrich, Hetfield, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and Newsted comprised the band until Newsted left in 2001, after 15 years of less than civil band relations.
It was the end of a difficult relationship, and of course, therapy allowed the band a chance to re-evaluate that one, too.
"In retrospect maybe he never really fit into the band," says Ulrich, whose partnership with Hetfield is the basis for the Metallica sound. "Maybe he was never allowed to be a member. He was never given a green light to do his thing. I think he always felt like an outsider, and he was treated like an outsider. I think it's amazing he lasted that long," he adds.
"We didn't really treat him with the respect that he deserved. And he is very, very musical, he listens to reams of music, and he's very very musically gifted, and very musically tenacious, so when he didn't have a creative outlet, then he started looking for other outlets and they were outside the band, and then James Hetfield went all nuclear on him.
"So he was caught in a pretty awkward place, you know."
In the summer after Newsted's departure, Hetfield checked himself into rehab for six months for alcoholism, and the making of St. Anger was waylaid. Some time that same year, the band decided to begin filming the making of the record and brought in documentary makers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, famous for their film Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills.
Some Kind of Monster is a close-up look at band relations and struggles.
"I think a lot of people find that a look at a band going through a crisis, a turmoil unlike anything they've seen before -- this is not about the glory -- this is us sitting arguing with each other for about a year -- and a lot of people are kind of feeling pretty strong about this film because they'd never seen anything quite like it."
Producer Rock filled in for Newsted on the album, and eventually the band settled on Ozzy Osbourne bass player Rob Trujillo as the next member. (Newsted joined Montreal band Voivoid).
"Everything in Metallica now is awesome," he says. "The band is doing great, the tour is great, we're playing great. I would probably say we're doing the best we have been doing in years, if not ever."


They actually think that St.Anger was liked...they really should talk to fans some more. People want a new Master of Puppets.

Well I switched to Ride mainly because of Trapped Under Ice which has really grown on me since when I first bought it, no one seemed to have it and so I thought I'd just switch over. I'll switch back if you want.

RTL is defiantly one of the best 'tallica albums thanks to songs like creeping death, Call of Ktulu, fade to black and trapped under ice

i'm not sure the reformed Dark Angel is the time does not heal line-up, in an interview with eric meyer it says:

Mike Gonzolez was contacted in regards to it, but he has other things going on so he won’t be around. The guy from Morgion is not with us, not around so he is not doing it either. We’ve got a good friend of ours who has been working with the band for years, probably since 89 or something, I’ve known him since 1986, Danny Williams, he is going to be playing bass with us. We have been working on that, working with him.

[Bartender]

Does anyone here like queensryche?

I bought Operation:Mindcrime a couple of years ago because it was cheap and I had money, but I haven't liked it much at all..

Does anyone know how long Dargon is away for? He's been gone a long while now.

[GraveRobbersINC]

It was either a month or 4 months...

[GraveRobbersINC]

Well the Megadeth reissues are finally out, and now I can finally get my hands on some classic thrash so my question to you is which megadeth album do you vote
Killing is My Business...And Business is Good
Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
So Far, So Good...So What
and I'm of course going to buy Rust in Peace so I didn't bother putting that ont here.

[RCA]

Killing Is My Business wasn't re-issued I thought? Anyways, get Peace Sells :thumb:

[GraveRobbersINC]

Yeah, it was remastered some time ago. Yeah Peace Sells appears to be rated well next to rust.

[RCA]

^^^

Ahh, thats why it didn't come out with the others. I guess I haven't been paying much attention to Megadeth. I've been listening to a lot of Mercyful Fate lately though.

NP: Dark Angel - Black Prophecies

[JMetallica]

Hmmm. I would serisouly suggest you get So Far... It has an awesome atmosphere which most put down to bad song writing or production (it is neither). Peace Sells is a great album, although there are a lot of light-weight moments you may or may not enjoy. Both Pretty good albums, you will probably get all albums sooner or later, so it doesn't really matter which one is purchased first. :D

EDIT:

Mercyful fate are indeed awesomeness. Melissa, not only has some awesome riffs, excellent shrieking vocals, but the drumming is totally unreal. Listen to EVIL, oh man that is pure creamage. You could take the guitars out and not only would you be able to get a rough idea of what is going on, but nothing would be lost (except the guitar sound :p). Textbook drumming at it's best!

NP: Acid Reign - Codes Of Conformity (gotta love the little outro bit... or not)

[ThrashMaster27]

Killing Is My Business is the one to get. Crazy, crazy solos and very fast lead work! You'll probs get mixed answers though, I'd just chose the album I wanted on my own if I were you.

[JMetallica]

Well, I just listened To So Far So Good So What and Peace Sells But Who's Buying? and I'd definately say: Get So Far... Awesome album!

[a8o]

Killing Is My Business is the one to get. Crazy, crazy solos and very fast lead work! You'll probs get mixed answers though, I'd just chose the album I wanted on my own if I were you.

Chose the record which has the best title track....Killing Is My Business wins hands down for me!

[GraveRobbersINC]

Call me crazy, but I think the question has come to Countdown to Extinction vs. Killing is My Business. I'll just see what ones they have.

[Ratmevilempire]

Dargon left for poland for a month,I think he will be back in approx. 1 week. Which Is also when I will be back for I am leaving for my cottage in an hour or so.

[Corporal Compendia]

Call me crazy, but I think the question has come to Countdown to Extinction vs. Killing is My Business. I'll just see what ones they have.

and if you choose Countdown... YOU'RE A FOOL!

[GraveRobbersINC]

I ended up only having enough money for one so I of course got Rust in Peace, and...speechless on this one. Pure Excellence.

[RCA]

I ended up buying Peace Sells and Rust In Peace. I like these remasters, pretty neat.

[Walshy]

How do you join this?

He ran off to join the circus. :amaze:

Wow, that's awesome, although most 'bonus' material is really 'songs that weren't good enough to go on the original album'. :p... I'll have to get a copy of the demos though. :D... How do they all sound?

[GraveRobbersINC]

Well the three on rust are of pretty decent quality and are different but the same enough to be cool. The unreleased song is cool too.

[Jamie FT]

thought u all might like too have a look at this thing about slayer:

SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman recently spoke to RiftRock.com about the group's upcoming DVD release, "Reign In Blood Live: Still Reigning", and their next studio album. Several excerpts from the interview follow:

RiftRock.com: The band is putting out yet another live DVD soon that features the album "Reign In Blood" played in its entirety with the original line up. What inspired you guys to film "Reign In Blood Live: Still Reigning"? When and how did the idea come about?

Jeff Hanneman: "The DVD idea was just recent, but the idea to play 'Reign In Blood' in its entirety, we’ve talked about that for years, because its only 28 minutes we thought it would be cool to just throw it in a set, but it really caught fire when [drummer] Dave [Lombardo] got back in the band so it was like 'Dave's back in the band? We should do it.' And since the record label and Rick Rubin were having some problems, he suggested we wait until next year, so we said, '**** it, let's record 'Reign In Blood' live with Dave Lombardo and put it on DVD."

RiftRock.com: Does the band have any other plans to record live CD’s or DVD’s of albums in their entirety?

Jeff Hanneman: "Not after we finish this one, we are going to be done with the live stuff for awhile. We get people asking why don’t you put out 'South of Heaven' in its entirety? (laughs) but I don't know, that's down the road."

RiftRock.com: The band is said to be working on material for a new album, How many songs have you written so far for the album?

Jeff Hanneman: "We've got at least 10 songs musically because we always write material first, I have a handful and Kerry [King] does too, but we haven’t gotten into writing lyrics yet. We have plenty of songs to record when we are done touring, the album should be out pretty quick."

RiftRock.com: Has Dave Lombardo re-entering the fold had any influence on the new material?

Jeff Hanneman: "Oh yeah, anytime you have a drummer like Dave that's an amazing drummer, he's always a big influence, he'll tell us where we should have a pause, where we should stop at parts."

Read Jeff Hanneman's entire interview with RiftRock.com at this location.

[Jamie FT]

And as for the megadeth reissues u lot were talking about i'll probably get rust and peace sells. suprisngley I don't have any megadeth albums :upset:

[Kurtz]

Don't get the Rust in Peace remaster. Go to a used cd store and get an original. Peace Sells kind of lost the classic 'punch' the originals, so don't get that either, but the remaster isn't that bad. And putting 4 demos at the end ruins the listening experience.

I really don't get why Dave had to remaster all their albums. I mean, what's the point of fixing something that isn't broken? The only remaster that's worth getting is SFSGSW because the original has terrible production. Just some advice.

[JMetallica]

Noo... So Far had an awesome production. Well, perhaps it wasn't exactly textbook, but it leant another dimension to the finished album. I've been listening to it a lot over the last 2 days and I think it has risen to the top of my megadeth list as far as quality goes.

I don't particualarly like the idea of releases either. It'd be like giving Galileo the huble telescope or Leonardo da Vinci an apache helecopter. True, it may seem 'better', but lets not screw with history. :D

[DimebagDarrell]

yeah i agree with you on that Jmet, so far has always been overlooked and i dont know why its brillaint sure its not as good as rip or psbwb but with songs like set the world afire, hook in mouth and in my darkest hour i sometimes wonder why people dont like it much :upset:

Anyone heard of Metal Messiah iwant to hear some by them after i realised they came from the same little town that i live in :)

I've heard a few Metal Church songs, but they didn't sound like thrash. I think I downloaded the wrong ones...

By the way, wasn't Lars offered a spot in Metal Church before he moved to SF?

nah, metal church are more just a metal band i think

That explains the non-thrashiness I guess.

In a brand-new interview with ElectricBasement.com, METALLICA frontman James Hetfield spoke about the band's latest endeavour, the 'Some Kind of Monster' feature documentary. Asked about the inclusion of a scene in which METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich sits down with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine for a one-on-one therapy session and whether he's had a chance to have a similar sit-down with Mustaine, Hetfield said, 'Not yet. Not yet, and there's no reason not to because him and I share a lot of struggle, a lot of similar path and really dealing with perfectionism and just beating ourselves up. You know the critics in our head that are just so mean to us. So we share a lot, and I see in that part how much struggle he still goes though and how much he really wanted to dump on Lars and how much I wanted to be there and protect my little brother there, you know. Um, but I'm glad I wasn't there. It was good that they had, I mean it is an extremely revealing scene for both of them. I think that Lars finally doesn't know what to do. Lars finally isn't in control and the camera is there, it's great! I mean, to see him that way, to see that human part of him and for Dave too, to really just let it out and then you know, maybe him be able to see that wow, if he could see that. I hope he watches it. You know. Because when I watch scenes of me it's like, 'Dude! I would not put up with that. I would not be in a room with you.' You know. It's a great mirror.'

So uhhh... I saw Infernal Majesty last night. The set was kind of short, but they killed! KILLED! I met Steve Terror after the show... awesome guy. I want to see them again... I think they're playing Toronto again sometime soon, so I'llllll be there.

[DisposableHeroes]

are they worth checking out?

[JMetallica]

Man, James must of had a sex change or something...

Yes, Infernal Majesty and Artillery are both worth checking out. Both are excellent bands.

[DisposableHeroes]

i checked out an infernal majesty live video on their site, how come they've been around since 1986 but only had a small following in the video?

[JMetallica]

Probably suffer from the same fate as all late 80's thrash... They were just lost in the crowd.

I was going to get Tony Iommi's Solo album yesturday but decided not to because i wanted to hear some stuff by him :lol: is it actually any good the guest musicians on it dont look too good apart from ozzy and phil

[DisposableHeroes]

bumpetty bump bump

[GraveRobbersINC]

What the Hell, Iommi did a solo record :confused:

[Corporal Compendia]

What the Hell, Iommi did a solo record :confused:

uh... yeah, quite a while ago. I thought everyone would have seen it in used CD stores by now. :lol: It's just called IOMMI. Lots of guest singers on it... Phil Anselmo, Henry Rollins, Ian Astbury, Peter Steele... and a few more too...

[GraveRobbersINC]

Phil+Iommi=well..suck. I'll look at my local used store and see if I can find it.

[JMetallica]

Iommi actually did a few solo cds, although only one under the name 'Iommi'. Seventh Star is an Iommi solo project under the sabbath name and i think a few after it were supposed to be his solo records, if there wasn't any pressure from the record lable to release somthing for sabbath.

I havn't heard the Iommi CD, but i guess ill get around to it one day. I guess it would sound like sabbath around that period, as Iommi has been sabbath since the early eighties.

[AParanoidIronMan]

forbidden are quite good, i prefer heathen though....

[DisposableHeroes]

i've downloaded two Heathen albums off their site, it reminds me of Anthrax slightly

[DimebagDarrell]

forbidden are quite good, i prefer heathen though....

Megadeth e-card http://megadeth.com/e_card/index.html w00t

[DimebagDarrell]

i was just going to post that e-card :lol:

In a recent interview with KNAC.com, SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman was asked to name his favorite SLAYER album. "I hate to say it, but probably 'Reign In Blood'," Jeff replied. "Not just because of what other people think of it — it's more like at that time that album was stamped into my memory because things were really starting to change for us and things were starting to get professional and serious, and that's the first time we had a tour bus and a real record label. And we put that album down… I don't know how long it took us, but everything was done, everything was fast, everything was good. In fact, you've probably heard this, but our biggest scare on that record is that once we got finished with it we checked the time and it was like 28 minutes. We were like, 'Holy ****. Too short!' [Laughs] So we sat there with [producer Rick] Rubin and thought, 'Does it sound great? Yes. Do we all like it? Yes. **** it!' [Laughs]"

With regards to the songwriting process in SLAYER, Hanneman said, "We just basically — we always start with music. So I'll come up with something at home, or Kerry [King] will come up with something. And eventually — you know, because I can do my stuff at home because I have a new 24-track and a drum machine, so if I get an idea, I can run with it as far as I can get it. Then I'll bring it to these guys and play it, see what they think, and Kerry will add a riff or Dave [Lombardo] will say something about 'Change it here' or 'Change it there' and Kerry does the same thing. And then when we get together we try to get the basic structure of the song done, and then we kinda know where the lyrics go and where the leads go. That's when the lyrics start falling into place, and the song will change here and there; but it's all done spontaneously, it's not like — we don’t sit down around a table before the album comes out and have a meeting on what the album is going to sound like. It's whatever we're into."

this is gonna be a good year for thrash

[DimebagDarrell]

Hell Yeah :evil: ;)

n.p. Iced Earth - Declaration Day

[DisposableHeroes]

i wonder what the new Slayer will sound like, hopefully more old school sounding rather than god hates us all which got slightly repetitive

my lead guitar book and dad's A album came 10 minutes ago, i'm in a great mood
