You mean the typical teenage angst lyrics? FWAAARK

yes, but the difference is that it's about a real big thing here what machine head did. not singing about some lame love experiences.

with machine head it was all about being signed or not.. they had to choose between being signed and write one or 2 radio songs, or not being signed and just write an album that is just about the three ( later four) of them making fucking metal.. and i respect them a lot for chosing the last option

Yes, because their last two albums have been chock full of that stuff, right?

Oh. Wait.

At the age of 10 I went to stay with my cousin and her husband for a couple of days. He had loads of Iron Maiden records... I remember thinking all the artwork was super cool, but the one that did it for me was a 12" single of Be Quick Or Be Dead. I played it over and over those two days. It changed my life forever!

Later on Metallica's AJFA became the first album that made me realise that I liked faster, more raw metal...

Then when I heard Suiciety by Realm I realised there was a whole world of exciting thrash out there, and it could be crazy progressive and unpredictable. After that I ordered loads and loads of thrash CDs without knowing what each band sounded like... it was a very exciting time for me musically.

Metallica144 is obviously oblivious to the fcat that Machine Head recorded a radio single and that Robb Flynn is a trendhopping dick who screams FWWWWWOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK

I hadn't really heard much metal. I had accidentally listened to a Bathory song but I didn't get it, a Motorhead song but it didn't yet click.

Then I heard Blackened by Metallica. I said "What, I thought they only played enter sandman slow shit?!" Boy, was I wrong. I started digging through their stuff and now here I am.

Raven changed my perspective on music. All For One..... What is there to say? It is a life changing album, a life changing band. There is NOTHING like it.

Also, Robb doesn't have a dick of death. His dick doesn't wrap around his leg!

( vio-lence joke >_> )

TWELVE INCHES OF DANGLING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

 

[Revell]

To be honest System of a Down - Chop Suey! was the song that changed my view on music. Before that I was never really that into music, because all I had heard up until that point was the usual pop/hip hop/pop rock on the radio. Something clicked when I heard that song, and I started exploring a shit load of bands. Upon listening to Metallica for the first time a few weeks later, I picked up a guitar and never looked back. After that, music quickly became my obsession, and always will be.

They actually did the same for me too!

Yeah? its wired they actually made me listen to more death metlulz...and my favorite music is prolly death metal.

 

[metallicdistort]

Oh. Wait.

You just have to look at one song really.

"WHY DO I HATE MY FATHER? (Because he took my playstation away) I HAtE YOU! WAAAAA! OR DO I HATE MYSELF? (I cut myself at night)"

Typically emo lyrics there.

And in the same song:

"I'm wasted and ugly, I am the underbelly,
A fat fuck and a fairy,
The reject they wish to bury."

Seriously, he sounds like a self conscious 14 year old girl.

Don't know why I'm being so harsh against the man, got nothing against him really. (I actually quite like that song, but it's ruined by the generic angsty lyrics which make me cringe)

Yeah, he's obviously never listened to Supercharger.

 

[Vedicardi]

Burn My Eyes is where it's at. Fuck the rest.

 

[D.Ingram]

The More Things Change, phaggat

 

[Chipmonkcheeks]

Grand Theft Auto Vice City. V rock.
Without realising I had listened to Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and Maiden.

Other than that I would say Infected Nations and Allison in Hell as they both got me into a wider array of metal.

Is that Slanderous from "The Blackening"? I fuckin hate that song.....

 

[Podgie]

I thought it was the best song on The Blackening ... Shite lyrics though.

 

[Chipmonkcheeks]

its got the awesome bit where it goes all Maiden.

 

[metallicdistort]

Yeah, probably the best song on the ridiculously overrated The Blandening.

 

[Podgie]

I'm really happy you guys agree with me ... It's the only song I can listen to off that album!
