Although, I've lost all of my respect for Megadeth and most of it for Metallica. I've never really dug Anthrax, so...

That's not what I was implying. As religious as you are, I'm surprised that you like Slayer.

Oh. Yeah, it's just the music that matters, to me. I can't understand the lyrics so it doesn't bother me at all.

Tom is very easy to understand. Especially compared to other thrash/death metal vocalists. But whatever man. Slayer's awesome, so if you like them, that's cool.

Maybe you have to acquire an ear for understanding thrash vocals. I don't have it yet.

Eh, even if you could understand them, you're still perfectly entitled to enjoy them in spite of their lyrics.  For the record, though, their lyrics include "Religion is hate, religion is fear, religion is war, religion is rape, religion's obscene, religion's a whore."

Metallica. Megadeth is fine but I never really got into them -- they always seemed to me to just be a poor man's Maiden. Anthrax is lame and Slayer sucks enormous balls.

Whenever I listen to Megadeth, my thoughts drift to Maiden and the Maiden songs that I could be listening to during this time. Not a good thing for a band.

Hmm. That's odd. I see very few similarities between the two. They play completely different styles of metal.

Honestly, I feel Slayer and Megadeth shouldn't even be in the Big 4, and if I had my way, Exodus and Overkill would be put in, but since I can't do that,

Metallica: First metal band I ever fully explored (ain't I fuckin unique?) and immensely loved their first five albums immediately except for KeA which took about a month or two to join the rest in my heart. Learning to play their shit really fast-tracked me to being a competent guitarist since they were the first legitimate leads I ever mastered and to this day I can and will still listen to any/all of their pre-Load stuff and love the fuck out of it.



Megadeth: Rust in Peace and Peace Sells But Who's Buying are the only albums of theirs I enjoy every track from despite owning every album released through Cryptic Writings plus The System Has Failed. The others all seem to get dragged down by songs with boring riffs and Dave's vocals can either really drive the point home in an awesome way if it's a good song or put the final nail in the coffin for a shitty song. Good "band" (quotes because of the band not really having an identity beyond Mustaine/Ellefson due to personnel instability) with a lot of talent but it just seems like much of the post-RIP stuff is either lazily-written or Dave's just out of ideas imo.





Slayer/Anthrax (Equally disinterested but both occasionally surprise me with something I can enjoy.)

1. Slayer
2. Metallica
3. Anthrax
4. Megadeth


I don't listen to Slayer any more at all.  But I have the most respect for them, because of all these bands, they are the only ones who (in my mind) never compromised at all...not even one little tiny bit.

Metallica used to be further down the list...but St Anger and Lulu won me over.   Anyone with the guts to give that giant of a raspberry to the entire music community gets kudos from me.   

Anthrax used to be my #1...but the drama of the last few years really soured me in every possible way.  The crap they pulled on John, and then Dan just so they could go for the cash grab with Joey is inexcusable in my book.   :tdwn

And I just think Dave hasn't done anything original in years...and he's always been a real jerk...so....

I know, right?   The Black Album was the album that really ticked me off.   Still my least favorite Metallica album.
