Everyone who wasted time replying to that discussion regarding the origins of death metal needs to take a moment, a couple deep breaths, go strap on their helmet and, crayons firmly gripped in hand, smack themselves in the forehead.
Seriously? Chuck actually hated being called the Godfather of Death metal. He pointed out the Possessed song to people. He was a modest man. And we're scumming his memory up with these pointless arguments. Granted, there were people who he didn't get along with (past bands, etc) but if you've ever been in a band, you know that that's just how shit stanks sometimes!
Point is, most of those old school "originator" death metal bands, WERE FRIENDS IF NOT FRIENDLY TO ONE ANOTHER. I'm not saying it was all pissing licorice and shitting rainbow gumdrops, here, but they all saw what was really important. What we here seem to have lost sight of.
Oh, and I got roped into one of these Death debates earlier on. I've already taken my retard crayonsmack moment. It helps clear the mind lol
*goes back to listening to the Team America World Police theme playing on repeat in his head*
