most of their good songs were written by hanneman anyway

Poor Kerry King. He's in his 50s and his mental development stopped at 14.

>>74815502
Has he ever criticised Islam or the Jews?

>>74816273

Reign In Blood [Def Jam, 1986]

I'm not exactly about to check out the complete works of Venom to see if you can't do better, but anyone wondering what gets Washington ladies off these days is advised to beg, buy, borrow, or steal this piece of, quote, speed Satanism, un quote. Rick Rubin focused, CBS passed, guitar's quicker than a theremin on reverb. And to top it off, "Jesus Saves" mauls the enemy, which as we all know isn't Jesus, or Satan for that matter. B+

I never thought I'd see the day.

I think he got a kick out of RIB because the high speed guitar and vocals are so ridiculous and over-the-top.

Do you honestly think Slayer fans will quibble with that? They know what they're getting and they eat it up anyway.

I mean, nobody really cares about AC/DC being in their 60s and making the same album for decades.

Nobody cares about lyrics in metal
I could listen to a song about sucking dick if the riffs are good and if the vocalist's energetic enough

>>74817441
That's why critics don't like metal, because it relies on sounds rather than lyrics and it's hard to describe sounds, so they can't really write much about it.

Ever been to a Slayer concert? Holy god, you've never seen so much white trash in your life.

>>74817168
I think I wrote this song when I was 13.

>>74817409
That's the point I'm trying to make.

>>74817470
Tyere's also the fact that it's hard to get into and "it sucks" is easier to say that "I don't get it"
And the fact that the metal community hates critics in general so the effort of getting into metal isn't worth it for them

>>74817856
Can't say punk is any better in that regard, yet critics dickride it hard.

What were you doing there

As much as I love everything this band did with all my heart up until Season in the abyss, what Kerry King is doing now is cringe worthy and Tom's vocals sound like an old man taking a shit.

>and Tom's vocals sound like an old man taking a shit

Big deal, James Hetfield has sounded like that for over 20 years.

>wait, why is George C. Scott singing on a Metallica album?

I'll give Slayer a hand, they've never released anything as disgustingly commercial/sellout as Youthanasia or Load.
