Fun Stuff > BAND
To hell with the canon
jeph:
It is a fucking great song.
Case in point, re: what I mentioned earlier about punk bands: the song "Ankle Injuries" by Fujiya & Miyagi is, what, basically three notes? And yet I LOVE it. So it must be something about punk's delivery that turns me off. Not sure what it is.
jeph:
I could see punk bands that sound boring as hell on record just slaying live.
But then, that's the case for most kinds of music.
Shit, I saw Foreigner play at the state fair a few weeks ago and they rocked the fuck out.
Storm Rider:
I also am pretty vocal in my hate of Slayer, which has nearly gotten me into a fight a couple of times. Kerry King couldn't play guitar in the 80s either, and Reign in Blood is probably the most overrated metal album ever.

Me too. A couple of great songs, a hell of a lot of filler. And when it comes to soul singers doing protest songs, Sam Cooke pretty much wrote the definitive chapter in that book with "A Change is Gonna Come".

I'll fight you!!! err, i mean...
Actually, I'm probably the world's laziest Slayer fan...I owe that band a hell of a lot for the music I listen to (hell, the early Converge shit is the most blatent Slayer rip-off you can imagine, and even they admit to that) but I just listen to them because they make me smile. I think that I'm expected to either fight you to the death for their honor, or turn in my secret decoder ring i got when i joined the metal-kid club or something, but I'm way to lazy for either.
Slayer=WAY overrated...but fun as all hell, at least I think so..
