Quote:Yeah right, I get it. You like three bands, and two of them are dead. Slayer is the only one still putting shit out, and they're wannabe death hair metal, which is why I made sure to exclude hair metal. I like enough bands to put over 3000 tracks on my Dell DJ, and I buy compilation CD's to try out new and independent bands. Pink Floyd might've had a few good concepts, but you're kidding yourself if you think death/hair lyrics have meaning. Music hasn't lost its art; you've lost touch with music.
Slayer is definitely not hair metal, and they definitely have some good songs, like Seasons Of The Abyss, Killing Fields, Black Magic ete. Along with Iron Maiden (still doing tours), which has songs like Still Life, Revalations, Fear Of The Dark ete.
And I like other bands, post-punk is big with me, along with other Metal Bands like Machine Head, Anthrax, Rage Against the Machine (though I've heard only a few songs like Renegades) ete. Also bands like Led Zeppelin (once you get past their really popular stuff they can be quite artistic), and some old blues is good too.
