WHAT?
Dude, I know people who would kill you and feed your corpse to the blackers for saying that.

Also, Yngwie Malmsteen has rather effectively proven that it's possible to be some kind of musical genius and still suck at writing/playing music that anyone wants to actually listen to. King might as well have gone around Slayer's solos in a more mundane fashion because really they all sound same-y and rather unimpressive.
Soidanae:
--- Quote from: AlexAttack --- I think that most people who actually like metal would be able to make a playlist up that is longer than 10mins and not want to turn it off.

I like metal.
Don't like thrash.
I couldn't make a ten-minute slayer playlist I wouldn't be able to turn off.
I'd rather have the deeper, fuller sounds of death and doom.

Thats one of the most retarded things I've read.
Thats like saying Punk rock is the poor man's hardcore.
Thrash is meant to be fast aggressive and in you're face, its not about down-tuned guitars, its not about the vocals or well excuted solo's. It's about the riffs and what makes Slayer a great band is King and Hanneman know how to write riffs.
Go back and listen to Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe", that's the riff that started Thrash. Maybe then you'll understand something about the genre then...

1. I never disputed that Slayer are in fact, pretty damn good or the awesomeness of their riffs.
2. I'm really not impressed with Sabbath no matter what they're the forerunners of (Oh man I can hear the angry typing of replies to that already...)
3. I don't really feel the need to justify my distaste for a genre that I find dull despite its "in my face attitude"
