Faster Than A Laser Bullet
I'll give you 20 seconds to name the four most influential bands in heavy meatl. Okay, times up. If you didn't say (in this specific order) Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Metallica, may God have mercy on your black souls b/c I will not. If some of you said Led Zepplin, I'll accept that (but I don't consider them metal, more bluesy than anything). See I've been enduring Metal Month on VH1, and the funny thing is that most of the stuff they were showing< i knew about already. So after two days of GLAM metal (Gay L.A. Metal, as Dave Mustaine would put it)and those stupid ass bands. That would be Poison, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Ratt and the W's, they finally show the episode Seek and Destroy. Four bands that said to hell with all those pansy ass bands in LA. Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica. Dave said something that hit it right on those with those GLAM bands. First of all if you have to put make-up on and dress like a chick, you've got some unressolved issues. Second, knowing all of this, is your music really that good? Metallica said it all with their first album, Kill 'Em All, as an answer to all the posers out there in LA. Yes sir folks, Metallica was the real deal in the 80's. These GLAM bands had all of these lead singers that wanted to look good for the camera, while the four bands that hated that type of music just wanted to play. Sebastian Bach of Skid Row said that when he brought Kill Em All, he flipped the album over and said that Metallica were the ugliest human beings that he had ever seen and he had to buy that album. He said that Metallica was definitely not a GLAM band. Another band that I should mention hear is Guns N Roses. Guns N Roses would have been bigger than Metallica if Axl Rose just got his head out of his ass. So yeah, I've been getting my dose of metal for the past month. I'm going to hate to see it end. Then we got into Manson. Great artist, great music. Just can't deal with his voice. But back to out bands here. I watched Cliff Em All and I looked at James. I then watched Morbid Angel's video Immortal Rites. Holy shit, David Vincent is a dead ringer for James Hetfield before the 90's. James has the long blonde hair and you really can't see his face, the same thinf in 89 with David Vincent. I'm hoping that there will be another band that can actually be the next Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica. And not any of those idiots on RoadRunner Records. Not that Nu Metal shit. Nu metal is un metal. But I do like Killswitch Engage and Otep. 24 is over, there is really no reason to watch Fox until January. So that means I'm stuck watching MNR for 2 hours and 5 minutes, with 1 hour and 10 minutes of these idiots talking. In the meantime I'll be picking up Black Sabbath's Dehumanizer and Judas Priests' Painkiller. In the words of Metallica and this still goes out to the posers: METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!!
