OK, I'll type slow so you can keep up... The point is, you're dismissing bands because they use instruments other than the basic distorted guitars, bass drums, growled vocals. That's fine. I was trying to show you that you're missing out on a lot of stuff by ignoring bands who use a bit of...

More to add... 1983-Fistful of Metal - Anthrax Bathory - Bathory Also the year Death, Master,Sepultura, Morbid Angel (I think...) got together for the first time 1984-Metal Church - Metal Church War And Pain - Voivod Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister 1985 was the year metal seemed to break for me...

It depends. If you're talking old school thrash, I'd post it here. Newer stuff like The Haunted I'd put in the main forum. I would probably have put Pantera there too, because they aren't strictly old school. Or thrash.

So then Mr Elephant, you'd better avoid such wussy bands as Slayer, Nile, Bolt Thrower, Brutal Truth, Emperor, Morbid Angel... Get the idea?

Testament. They were always hailed as next in line behind the big four. They have always bored me shitless.

Pantera is hardly old school, unless you're talking about the old hair metal days... I'm quite partial to the live album myself.

Well, the Satanic thing is kind of hard to avoid... Try Sigh. I've been getting well into them lately. Impaled Nazarene... Lots of stuff about goats...

Well, sucking blood from someone's buttocks is a kind of gayish thing to do...

What about Sheepdip by Lawnmower Deth? Rat Salad by Black Sabbath. Um... Skullfull of Maggots by Cannibal Corpse? Er, and Natural Born Chaos by Soilwork has gay butterflies on the cover.

Slayer of all bands have a remix of Seasons In The Abyss with a flute track. Master used a flute on a song I can't remember the name of. Er, and did Morbid Angel have a flute track anywhere on Blessed Are The Sick?

This is also an excellent quote. I was gonna say it. It bears repeating though. Metal IS life.

Yeah, the band played well, until the bass shit itself completely. Even though the crowd was mostly morons, they were still well received. The guitar player ended up going through every metal pose and cliche in the book, taking the piss and really enjoying himself! He seemed to be like a man...

I'll believe it when I see... er, hear it...

To the original point... My theory is... Black metal is extreme music, and attracts extreme people whose views can be far, far removed from the "average" person in the street. Philosophising about hate for your own race is extreme, and if you look at it from a different angle, also highly...
