Quite easy, when there is too much sound it's easier to hide one persons mistakes with the louder sound of others.

But why would the other instruments be louder? People don't usually plan mistakes.

The difference between the same tune played at 115dB and 125dB means there is more noise to cover the mistake made, it may not cover it completely but it goes a long way to masking it. Every sound engineer I have known has used volume to help hide mistakes at least once in their career and not always with metal bands.

Not a fan of COF but the cover isn't too bad. Haven't watched the concert footage yet because I was afraid that the COF cover might have been better than the actual band

Yes we have. And it's an absolutely pointless question.

Oh man, yeah I really don't like that band at all.http://bravewords.com/news/annihila...r-of-alison-hell-this-is-how-you-cover-a-song

Well they don't do it very well because you've pointed out mistakes Kirk has made recently.

Yeah I'm kind of surprised it keeps coming up. Zetro is right though, Metallica is easily a tier above the rest of them and that alone pretty much makes the Big 4 redundant no matter how many other bands were around at the start.
A far better discussion for Zetro would be whether he thinks the Big 4 of German thrash are better than anything related to the Big 4 of 'Merican trash.

The cover of Alison was listenable and far better than many covers I have heard, but I definitely wont be rushing out to buy their album just because of it.

Well but it's the Big4 of the 80's. I think the fact Germany had to go and do their own big4 is stupid. It came up naturally here. To then say oh we need a big4 too is dumb imo.

I watched Fight Fire With Fire this morning. It's a clip from some gig in the US last year but I'm still singing it now, I don't care if they made a mistake.

I think it's dumb for any country to do it, even when Australia did it it was stupid, pointless and little more than something else for the fans to argue about. I prefer Sodom, Kreator (except in the 'experimental years') and Tankard more than I like Anthrax and Megadeth anyway. Metallica I like but aren't really on the same level and Slayer for me are better than them all but labelling any of them as a big 4 seems to be more about the fans wanting to feel a part of a bigger group rather than anything else.

It really wasn't about the fans wanting anything. It's just who the fans liked better and therefore sold more albums than the rest.

Well if you did the same thing over and over for 25 years and consistently fucked up but got paid top dollar anyway...For sure, I've been in business 25 years and I never make a mistake.
