I'm there, dude.

Killswitch and Mastadon suck.

IMO.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Oh, if it's just your opinion...

 

[Spirit In Black]

Mastodon is fucking good.

 

[BasilisK]

Don't care about the support bands, and Slayer should have thrown in the towel years ago. Their last few albums have been pretty below average.

they still own live....when they don't play their new stuff

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Killswitch is fucking awful, Mastodon is meh, and Slayer is good live but not worth the price + first two bands.

Even some of their new stuff comes off great in a live setting and doesn't feel out of place.

 

[Edgecrusher]

They were almost god-like last year when they played the entired 'Reign In Blood' album from start to finish.

Agreed.

 

[thefuzmixman]

last i heard slayer nearly went numetal. course the last i heard was years ago, but still.

 

[blakmetalemp]

Slayer fucking slayed at Ozzfest.










Pun intended.

true but I would rather hear them play classics than new stuff that is just average

Well, I've been thinking about Slayer's recent stuff. I heard about five songs from their last couple of albums that I downloaded because it was part of their setlist. I think that just from a business stanpoint, they have made a really good decision. They have changed enough so that they attract the nu-metal fanbase, by adding some unintelligient lyrics with lots of cursing(Payback) and adding a few groovy breakdown riffs (Stain Of Mind). But, they have still retained most of their old fanbase, because they have kept most of the speed, and the solos. Just to remind you again, this is just from a business standpoint(attracting as many consumers as you can) and not a musical standpoint. The only opinion I've gathered from the few songs I've heard, is that Kreator's new stuff (Violent Revolution album) is much better. Or at least the first half of it, that's all I've listened to, need to get around to finishing it.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

New Slayer, aside from the badly played leads and excessive language, is still okay.

 

[Tool]

Eh, I saw them one the Jagermeister tour with Arch Enemy and Hatebreed...

If it had been Slayer, Arch Enemy, and Mastodon, it would've been better.

I don't like Hatebreed or Killswitch.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Bah...Arch Enemy...

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Diabolus In Musica is a fucking abortion. GHUA has a few good tracks, usually of which they play live.

Divine Intervention is underrated.

 

[Edgecrusher]

Divine Intervention is underrated.

absolutely, i've been saying that for about 10 years now

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I think so too, but DIM had a few good songs, namely Bitter Peace, Scrum, and Point.

And the rap song is funny.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Actually, a good comparison, but Metallica still had one more in 'em.
