One of the reasons it irks me to constantly see Dopethrone hailed as of the of "heaviest albums ever!" is, despite the guitar and bass tones, the drums sound like ass and really subtract a few "heavy" points. Not sure if that really had anything to do with the point you were making but I see where your coming from.

I've always thought Come My Fanatics sounds much heavier than Dopethrone. It's also better imo.

Absolutely this. Dopethrone in my opinion is simply name-dropped for how cartoonish and over the top it is, especially the cover art and drawn out droning style it pushes.

The first two Motley Crue albums (Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil) are some great traditional metal records. They pretty much suck after that.

Anyone that takes issue with the first two Crue albums is just being a try-hard.

wtf? 
no not metal, that's hard rock. from a shitty glam band.
i love how some people today are trying to pass all this garbage form the 80's(especially glam) off as metal, when not a single person referred to shit like that as metal when i was growing up.

i honestly dont care how old he claims he is. I'm just speaking the facts. And the more you guys say otherwise, the more i question whether you guys actually listened to metal growing up.
What im talking about... people referring to shitty glam bands as metal today, when on one considered them to be metal back then is not a new topic either. It's been a heated debate for a while now. You can even catch it in some metal documentaries.

I didn't listen to metal growing up. I didn't get into metal until I was I wanna say 15. I didn't grow up with white people, so metal wasn't an early influence on me at all.

If you grow up in black and brown communities you're more likely to hear other kinds of music first/instead, is all I'm saying dummy.

i grew up in Los Angeles, so i dont know what you're talking about. I mean, i listened to rap too but metal and rock came first.
Metal was pretty popular when i was tiny. The more popular bands were getting air time on the radio, headbangers ball, beavis and butthead etc.

Jesus Christ, did you grow up in random Latino households or did you live in a house with your white family? Not really sure how this is hard for you to follow.
