Having your ass kicked in 20 seconds or less

[SoundMaster]

While every second of these two songs totally own, the last 20 seconds of each has kicked my ass for ~25 years! Such great ways to end classic songs!

Disposable Heroes is one of the high points of Master of Puppets, which is admittedly full of high points. A friend of mine was asking me awhile back why I think it is probably the best metal album ever...and after thinking a bit I mentioned that song, and that every song up to it is/was great and diverse....but when you get to Disposable Heroes, that song just sounds like it will spill into chaos at any moment. It's such a tense, explosive thing. And that was what was truly great about them....they were just so tense, that you thought the whole song structure might explode any moment, really. That song in particular has that quality.

Well you can watch James standing over the mic and playing that, or you can watch this.......

The opening of Theocracy's Laying the Demon to Rest, is IMO, the heaviest recorded riff ever. I don't think Nordstrom ever recorded something that heavy.

Note: See if you can find a high quality mp3 or the CD itself because the youtube video just isn't a high enough resolution to do it justice.

Hey Soundmaster, I apologize the way my earlier reply came out. It sounded very rude now that I read it back. It was probably not intended that way and I apologize. I was pretty drunk when I posted that. I was even dumb enough to not play a Pagan"s Mind song/video with one of their best climaxes, on top of that. DUH !! Pagan"s Mind is well known (by it's handful of fans) to make some great climaxes. They tend to do a couple on each release.

If you can skip to about the 5:30 mark on this one, you will catch it.

No need to apologize at all! I didn't sense any rudeness in your post.
Anyway, I, too, love Pagan's Mind and am happy to other fans of the band here!
No worries....and happy holidays!

I remember travelling back home on a bus listening to disposable heroes whilst reading 2000ADS Judge Dredd in the City of the damned, great track from one of the best albums ever!
