Sweet.

The new wave of thrash is like the original wave: A few good gems hidden amongst a pile of shit. That being said, Hexen, Merciless Death, Hatchet, SSS, and Violator are a few of those gems. I also like some Bonded by Blood, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, and even Evile once in a while. Now...

No, just a slow learner I suppose. I learn my words one at a time. Though, I must thank you: Your presence has introduced me to the definition of the word jackass. Outstanding. Thank you very much, jackass. I said something in response to a user who wasn't you, nor was I talking about...

I won't deny that that's true. I don't listen to a lot of death metal. But I haven't encountered any substance in the genre yet. I find totally random responses to be sillier than anything discussed here thus far. :guh:

I was lucky. My all star line up released albums. Mustaine Poland Ellefson GAR!!!!

You say that like traditional death metal is full of substance.

I don't know about elitist, but they can be obnoxious. I mean, if anyone's being a Maiden elitist, it's me. I liked them in the Di'Anno era in their NWOBHM days. I just can't stomach mainstream-Number-of-the-Beast shit that came later. Though, I never minded Samson. *shrugs*

This statement is full of the lulz If you're going to make comparisons, make good ones. Say something like Coroner and Sarcofago stood apart. Don't say Exodus and Metallica. Because of all the bands you mentioned, those two actually did sound alike. But am I really supposed to sit here...

I was never huge into death metal--only recently did I feel comfortable enough to "adopt" Death, Autopsy and Obituary into my music collection. But as I listened to those early Florida death metal bands, I think I was about two steps away from giving death metal my own stamp of approval. Then...

I can't stand Iron Maiden. Especially after Killers. They started out as a gritty metal band, and graduated to arena rock cliches. I mean, how can I get excited by Dickinson-era Maiden, when I can't stand bands like Journey? Because I don't hear much of a difference. And I think that's okay...
