I can't do anything without you.

Perfect response. Many internet points for you.

Nocturnus is great but saying they are better than Slayer is actually really fucking gay.

It is happiness, yes.

Thank's for the highly intellectual contribution to this argument revolving egoistical bullshitters and ignorant kids who think they know more about metal than the majority, when the only information they have obtained has been from reading Wikipedia articles pertaining to these bands/sub-genres.

No problem. Glad I could be of service.

Nocturnus' two full lengths are better than Slayer's output after Seasons in the Abyss, I guess. I'm not sure that's saying much though.

 

[The Butt]

Change "Seasons" to "Divine Intervention" and your statement is wholly correct. Again, its not saying much though.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

Nocturnus and Slayer are two completely different bands. Why are we comparing them?

 

[Krow]

It doesn't have to make sense, have you never clicked this thread before?

 

[Kara-Shehr]

No I've clicked it before it's just that I never actually read the words on the screen. I usually just skim, generally when a post in this thread is longer then 1.5 sentences I say fuck it. I forget stuff sometimes.

I gotta be honest. I really think Ruby Tuesday's dry rub ribs are better than World Painted Blood. Just saying.

Only Slayer albums I don't like are Diabolus in Musica and God Hates Us All.

 

[The Ozzman]

The only Slayer albums anyone needs are the first four

I've never had them, so I don't know whether that's good or bad.

Whaaaa?? No love for Seasons?

Yeah I know its the Black Album of their discography, but there's no denying the epic singalongs that album has.

For that fact alone, despite the others, it is a must have.

Change "the first four" to "all up to Divine Intervention" and yes.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

I like every Slayer album lol.

If you consider pioneering to mean 'becoming popular' then sure. But they didn't pioneer anything, they're just the ones who caught a break.

Comparing Slayer and Metallica and Venom is like comparing three different important bands in their own right. Venom are the pioneers. What Slayer did was set up a band with a guitarist who has solos that continue sound pretty much the same as they did on Show No Mercy, and have bands come in and try to compete with Kerry King as being the lofty solo guitarist. Metallica had a better solos in some respect, but they were of a different sound and they were the start to another part of metal. The competitive aspect of it is evident why Metallica and Slayer have been in competition since their bands first started, and that can be heard throughout their discographies. So neither one of them were 'pioneers' in that respect. The reason I say that Nocturnus is better than Slayer is because they did what Slayer was trying to do, better than they did if by anything, by Nocturnus' lead guitarist simply being better than Kerry King's solos. Nocturnus made a statement with their two albums as a response to Slayer. Kerry King isn't that great of a guitarist. So really, the only reason Slayer is an influence is due to their popularity and not due to their musicianship.

Why are you only talking about the fucking solos?
