Matt Heafy is an indisputably GOOD guitarist, but he can't write songs or compose worth a shit. That's where Slayer outdoes them, even though that's not really saying much.

SouthernTrendkill said:Yeah, I'm not suprised... When you've been in the game for that long I think you start to crave something new. Like how Ozzy loves American Idiot... I'd rather Ozzy be listening to A Blaze in the Northern Sky, but I deeply respect the fact that he likes something that's recent. Even if I don't like the bands they're listening to, I MUCH prefer it to artists who refuse to listen to anything new. Their music becomes stagnant. Some artists sound like they've been living in a time warp since whatever year they had their biggest success in. Not that artists have to cash in on the latest trends or change their style, but they just can't be clueless. I like to know that they're at least checking out new things.
