    JUDAS PRIEST NOOOOOOOOOO!

    It's decent. A good taking a shower song, but not a good enough party/driving fast song.

    What happened to Thrash early 90's ?

    Some of the best thrash was in the early 90's. Forbidden, Heathen, Coroner, Death Angel, Kreator, to name a few......Death metal had a bit to do with the thrash decline, along with the big 4 trying something different. For commercial reasons (Metallica/Bob rock, remember)and thinking they needed...

    Anticipated albums of 2014

    Yeah, Stevens Flemenco guitar rrrips!! I have his BLS Black Light Syndrome stuff, withg Terry Bozzio, and Ton Levin. Just so good....bit of jazz fusion, a few metallic riffs, and his acoustic guitarwork is flawless.

    TESTAMENT Parts Ways with Bassist and Announce Replacement

    Powermad! Yes! ep was good....Absolute Power (Full length Album) was SO Freaking Awesome!! Yeah, there was good melodic singing in that band. Great riffs, solos.....remind me a little of '84-'86 era Metallica, a little Anthrax (vocally) early '90s Overkill riffing. Just a phenomenal band. The...

    Most underrated band I have ever heard of.

    Very good band. Three Friends, and In A Glass House, to me, are their best albums. The vocal harmonies and arrangements are hands down, the most creative. Spocks Beard, Echolyn, and Haken are influenced by Gentle Giant vocally. They are very respected by prog fans, and their contemporaries, at...

    Anyone here likes Newsted album?

    I love the guy regardless. Newstead just loves playing music....ever enthusiastic, puts 100% into whatever he does, even if people don't like it, or care. He's grateful that he can do what he loves, and make money too. And you know he'd still do it for no money.

    Do you think the big four of thrash are the height of quality in the genre?

    I like the second wave better ('87-'91) Forbidden (every member except the singer, has played in Testament, Slayer, Nevermore) Heathen (Lee Altus is in Exodus as well) Sacred Reich Coroner (the most underrated metal band) Flotsam and Jetsam (well, the early albums kill) Death Angel...

    Stormblåst 1996 or Stormblåst 2005?

    Even though my favorite Dimmu album is still Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, I listen to this one more....it works well playing in the background, when reading, or with my girlfriend. love the brooding atmosphere of Stormblast.

    New Fates Warning album

    You should try to find the original album cover artwork for their first album Night On Brocken. I have it in cassette format, before cds took over. It looks like an 11 year old drew it.

    Favorite 90's power metal albums?

    Good to see some Angel Dust fans here. I saw them back in '01, with Opeth, God Forbid, and Nevermore at the old Brass Mug in Tampa, Fl. Put on a good show in that tiny venue. There was six bands, and for only $17.00 !

    Led Zepplin vs. Deep Purple

    Deep Purple for me. I like zep, but, they just don't move me often, as Purple does. They are more musically adept than Zep. Page tends to be a little too sloppy live for my tastes. But.....Page's acoustic riffs are really strong, that's where his strength lies. John Paul Jones is a better...
