opens the door for a peak. sees things heating up. i will throw some sticks on the fire: i would rather listen to quiet riot 72 hours straight than have to sit through one song by any of the following bubblegum bands: fall out boy, green day, panic at the disco, the fray, all-american rejects, taking back sunday. all poppy crap. now as for metal-some of the metal from the 80s/early 90s is quite good, even great: iron maiden, slayer, anthrax, testament, death, mercyful fate, metallica (before cliff burton's disagreement with a bus and gravity),violence, exodus, overkill, kreator-all rocked in their day. i cannot stand what passes for metal these days. it sounds like industrial machinery with a dude desperately in need of a bran muffin and some exlax vocalizing over said machine sounds. these bands are doing nothing that death, kreator, and celtic frost didn't do 20 years-and far, far better than the folks today at that. this thread is starting look as if it will provide quite a bit of entertainment before it burns out. closes door again Dude, every band you named are fookin stellar. Especially Vio-Lence and Kreator. If you haven't already seen it, you need to get the Vio-Lence documentary; it's seriously one of the best band documentaries I've ever seen put together... which is really impressive considering they're not a well known band, and never were, and the documentary was made of virtually no budget at all.

white stripes are good but ultimately it's just the pixies with a more bluesy edge. Agreed. But the Pixies are my favorite band of all time, so I see that as no bad thing at all. White Stripes are pretty innovative on the side as well tho. As far as the rest of this thread goes, just a little to Gromet for me, I'm out.

Oppressing The Masses is my favorite album by them. Although, a lot of friends will yell at me because Eternal Nightmare seems to be the best among most people.

god i cant believe you know of vio-lence i hung out with those guys dude sean killian accidentally broke a pair of my glasses when i caught him stagediving at bogart's in cincinnati. though that is small potatoes compared to the time i was at the epicenter of one of chuck billy's dives. that was before i started putting them in my pocket when i was up front or near the pit. went through 2 pair before i figured that one out... click me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdyABPskQl4 and me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfMe2DNXPRQ

You gotta be a big dude. Chuck Billy would friggin squash anybody under 6'2 200lbs like a tomato. no i'm not. i am 5ft 8 and at the time would've weighed maybe 140. it was not pretty. i was almost squashed like a tomato. if not for the fact that there were a couple of other people brave enough (in my case stupid enough) to try and catch him, i probably would've ended up with a broken bone or two. as it was, i had the wind completely knocked out of me along with a sprained wrist and a nice cut on the chin. thankfully it was 1987 or 88 and chuck was a few pounds lighter then than he is now (aren't we all though). all in all a perfect night out.
