    I spent a little time trying to figure out who the girl your mom named Vacuum Slayer was supposed to be.

    I hear that Metallica is the safest band to take through an airport because they haven’t set off a metal detector since 1989.

      I would swear that the definition of “metal” has changed. There was a point in time Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were considered metal. Nowadays it seems that “metal” music is required to sound like your head is submerged in the oil sump of a diesel engine.

      And you know what? I like metal heads, they tend to be cool folk who…appreciate their senses differently than I do somehow.

        I agree. I remember when I discovered Ghost. They quickly became one of my favorites. I let my dad listen to it and he loved it too. He said it sounded like “old-school metal”. When I asked what he meant he said “this is what metal used to sound like. When death metal became popular around the 90’s everything got harder. And death metal became metal and old metal became hard rock.”

    I like slayer, but one time while listening to a slayer cd in his car a friend of mine said, “have you ever noticed how all slayer solos sound like they just threw a guitar off of a flight of stairs?” and ever since that’s all I think about when the solos starts lmao

      They have very solid riffs, but guitar solos were never Kerry King’s strong point.
