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."
The big 4 of the 80s thrash metal scene,(Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax), brought us some amazing music but inspired a helluva lot more.
Credit to Ozzy and the Sex Pistols of course, but thrash metal really took it to a new level...of confidence.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
"Metal" is a very wide genre. There's not a lot in common between e.g. Nightwish and Full of Hell. I personally wouldn't put Bon Jovi and Deff Leppard in there, they're more what is called "hard FM", but like every genre the borders are fluid.
Neither of those bands were ever considered metal. Hard rock. Yes. metal, no
In the late 70s Def Leppard was considered part of the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" along with Iron Maiden. I have trouble imagining it myself, but in a world before 10,000 sub-genres, the bar for heavy was way lower.
Hmm.
Oh yes, Facebook. Solid source.
Well here's Wikipedia. Beyond this I'm going to assert you find a source that says "Bon Jovi was never considered metal."
Hair metal, but they were light lightest and off even hair metal.
Bon jovi is metal like aluminum foil is metal.
Fuck Lars.
Hey come on now he's one of the top 10 drummers in Metallica.
Came here to say essentially this lol Lars is a pretty mid drummer. It's kinda hilarious that he gets to be in a band with Kirk Hammett.
Yesssss
I... I can't upvote this. Top notch shitpost, but, like, fuck you. Damn.
Yeah I feel the same conundrum!
I saw Slayer in 2011 at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I'd never listened to them but they put on a hell of a show. Melted my face, and they were tight. Then I went back to not listening to them.
I’m glad I got to see them live but unfortunately they just weren’t great that night, played faster than they should have and it was kind of a mess. Also didn’t help that they were opening for Priest and, well, you ain’t going to upstage them for stage presence and virtuosity. Still a wild show and a killer pit.
I named your mom Slayer because she keeps raining blood.
When it's raining blood you take it to south of heaven, or how they call it, "seasons in the abyss". Or you just accept the world painted blood and it will look like killing fields afterwards
I love slayer and I named your mom "the vacuum" cause she likes anal a lot.
Wait, what?
How fucking dare you.
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.
At first I was all like :(
Then I read the comments and now I am all like :)
That's what I named your mom for the same reason.
Outperformed any vacuum on the market, she was a true vacuum slayer. Surprising and satisfying suction, wet or dry.
“Your mom” jokes are old, tired, and been done a million times……….just like you’re mom!!!!!
Slayer sucks because I fucked a vacuum and I will fuck Slayer.
Spoken like a true scholar.
I like Slayer and this is still hilarious.
False, Slayer is rad.
I'm ok with this
I mean, that's high praise for a vacuum. I would be more concerned if it didn't.
Top tier sir
This really is the skeletons of society
I spent a little time trying to figure out who the girl your mom named Vacuum Slayer was supposed to be.
Old subject but I still think some of their lyrics shouldn't have happened like they did.
Mom, hell awaits!
mom has a damn nice vacuum.
