Any thread with Mitch Clem in it makes it me happy.
Storm Rider:
Slayer has been making the same album with steadily decreasing quality (except for South of Heaven) for 20 years. Kerry King is an absolutely awful lead guitarist and Reign in Blood is the most overrated metal album ever. It seems to me that they got popular just by goreing and Sataning up the lyrics to attract more 'rebellious' teenagers.
They're not godawful, but why bother when there are so many better thrash bands?
Bostic:
I like the new album a lot. It's great having Dave back in the band and the songs are much better than the previous two albums. They put on a great show recently in San Jose. There are other thrash bands in the day that had great qualities but they didn't have "it" about their band that gets them to the next level. Dark Angel and Gene Hoglan, the drumming is insane but the sum of all the parts was never quite enough to get them up and over the hump. It is tough being a fan since the very beginning then seeing some less hardcore fans wearing whatever Slayer shirt and not knowing what album Crypts of Eternity is off.
Rebourne:
They have a chromatic sound thing to them that's cool, but man they are stuck in a feedback loop of awful. Christ Illusion was a pitiful record. I don't understand how people can like their lyrics, they are a hypocritical hate fest.
