Bay area kid in 1983, I see my journey through metal and where I was in the evolution then to now. So vastly defined a genre today, Its not helpful IMO. I find too much formula and less innovation within sub genre. The idea thrash was a political reaction to The Reagan Thatcher years is just a weaklings contempt. Nobody WAS suppressed but liberals like Tipper Gore PMRC made an attempt.
"Was Slayer really on Def Jam Records? " Yes, Rick Rubin signed Slayer to Def Jam. But, the higher ups that let Rubin actually run the Def Jam label didn't want to put out the album, so luckily Rubin got them signed to Geffen. The vinyl version of "Reign In Blood" was released on Def Jam, but not the cassette or CD.
Lamb of God and Mastodon carried the torch.
I wonder if they will touch on hardcore and metalcore at some point later in the series.
I played in a Thrash band called Mazaleeum in Eastern PA in 1987. When Thrash was still fresh and new and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. LONG LIVE THRASH METAL
Was Slayer really on Def Jam Records? That was when they had real hip hop before the ******** we got today. What if it was Run DMC and Slayer? Yeah, yeah. I liked nu metal too, but it wouldn't even sound right. Maybe Slayer and... Onyx? Still funny to see that.
why is it grunge and nu metal instead of death and black metal
why is it grunge and nu metal instead of black and death metal, stupid
Great show. But terrible commercial breaks. 4 repeats of the same commercial. WTF is that? Like seeing it the 4th time is really going to make me wanna buy.
