Fun Stuff > BAND
What's your favourite Speed Metal band?
Solstice:
Would Fear Factory be considered speed metal? I know they're "classed" as like Industrial or Thrash or Groove or whateverthefuck (I hate music genres, srsly), but lots of their stuff is plenty quick as well. So, speed metal yes? Maybe just Raymond Herrera's feet? :P
If so, that's where my vote would go. Fear Factory was what got me into the whole big broad genre of metal in the first place (them and White/Rob Zombie oh so many years ago), and was one of my very first album purchases. They'll always have a spot in my heart and in my playlist.
KharBevNor:
It depends what Priest you're talking about. Late 70's/Early 80's priest is reasonably similiar to Ozzy. Painkiller era stuff, not at all.
Kai:
Well, Painkiller era is generally their fastest and heaviest, so I'm more talking about that era because we're talking about Speed metal.
KharBevNor:
Yeah, but I mean, if the lads thinking 'Sad Wings of Destiny' when he says Judas Priest, then drawing a parallel between Ozzy and Priest isn't all that unjustified.
Fear Factory...they just don't solo enough for speed metal. Insofar as it exists, speed metal is really all about tapping solos and whammy bars pulled back so far you break all your strings every song.
Even the bassists ones.
Kai:
Point taken, I guess.
So I learned a little while ago that Elton John has a fairly big obsession about Black Sabbath. what the hell?
