Post. Also. Not quite sober.

The fact that their sound has changed through the years with various albums. Maybe more so Metallica. I'm not sure about the other 3 and how their sounds have changed, if at all.

I can see that, but I dunno, Metallica still makes thrash (see Death Magnetic) and they'll always be remembered as a thrash band. Even if some of their albums aren't thrash, I'll never consider them anything different.

As for the other 3, Anthrax and Megadeth kinda deviated for awhile there, but they're both thrash now. Slayer never changed much AFAIK

I've always considered them thrash but I just wasn't sure if the titled changed in anyway due to their different records. Some people really argue it though. With Metallica, I know a lot of people don't consider them thrash anymore because they did deviate from their thrash roots a bit but Death Magnetic has gone back to that.

Great, great day.

Yea, I think it's a silly debate though. Whether or not Metallica is thrash has no effect on anything. Personally, I'll always consider them a thrash band, just because all my favorite albums are thrash and that's what I think of when I hear Metallica.

I totally agree. And when you think about it with other bands, alot have done the same. Sometimes a band will want to experiment and deviate from what they're normally known for but that doesn't change the genre they're part of.

 

[Mosh]

Yea exactly. With a few exceptions, I think most bands still have the same core sound even if they want to experiment/deviate. Rush is a good example of that.

Are you pioneering the use of Maiden in medicine, Wingman? First SSOASS and now this.

Not really, but now that you say it ...

Have a listen to this! A medley of various themes from Flåklypa Grand Prix, arranged for four classical guitars! I think it's really well done.

was there ever a discussion on this forum as to why Maiden wasn't in the big 4 line back when the "big 4" where doing their world tour?

Great, great day.

Did you stop by Tim Horton's on the way back?

I want to sleep.

Did you get enough to drink?

 

[Ariana]

Yes, sir.

 

[Perun]

Are you suffering today because of it?

 

[Ariana]

I can't say I feel very well right now but it was worth it. The party was a blast.

 

[Perun]

That was my point: The more you suffer, the better it was.

 

[Ariana]

True. Although I think most of my suffering comes from the pain in my neck.

 

[Perun]

All my best nights resulted in pain in my neck. And beer on my shirt.

 

[Ariana]

Yeah. Whoever said dancing was good for your health was dead wrong.

 

[Perun]

Yeah, well... yeah.

But I'm glad you had such a blast!
