"I will help you die"

Metallica - Master of Puppets

[vidnotlaw]

Sadistic? Stupid? I think they did a great job at describing the cruelty and disgust of the holocaust.

Enjoy,

Yes that is the point of the song and the sound.

 

The song is about Auschwitz concentration camp and the bizarre horrible (scientific?) experiments Josef Mengle(the Angel of Death)used on its/his victims.You do have to read about it for it to make sense.

 

He would inject people with all sorts of things to see the reaction alot of time resulting in a slow painful death.He did alot of experiments on twins-such as sewing them together (ala' siamese twins) to study their behaviour that included the desperate need of the individuals to seperate from each other.

 

Gruesome but true no folk or pop singer was ever going to make songs about thier suffering espically with the same impact.

Originally posted by Tone Monster Calm down just a bit. I guess I think I should like it from internet peer pressure:D but I don't get it at all. I guess I'm looking for someone to make some valid points on what is good about it.

 

 

You're not alone. Every supposedly "classic" metal album that is hyped up around here has been a huge disappointment to me when I finally heard it.

 

Like people have said, I think you have to think of its relevance at the time it was released, but things are different now, so a lot of that stuff doesn't appeal to me at all.

[50calexplorer]

I think the guy who started this was just trolling but anywho....

I was never a big Slayer guy, I just didn't get it, I was huge into Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, but I just didn't get Slayer.


Well, after some time, Diabolous in Musica era, my brother and I went to see a Slayer show.

I got it then, been hooked since.

Although I love all their studio albums, there is something that doesn't come through speakers that does when you see them live.

don't forget Creeping Death..."Die by my hand! I creep across the land, killing first born man!"

[DeathMonkey]

Originally posted by Tone Monster Its just flat out terrible. The "vocals" suck, as do the lyrics. So okay guitar parts I guess. The drummer seems pretty good, but I don't think I can listen to it again. I like metal but not this. Is there something wrong with me?

 

 

 

 

You have failed at life.

wow, someone who knows!

[azure and drkz]

I'm pretty sure we're in the minority here, but I think most of what you said is true. Earlier Slayer albums aren't my thing.Each album has at least one or two good songs on it, but I prefer more melody/vocal dynamics. If you haven't done so already, I suggest you Krank your stereo up to 11 and put on the.." Diabolus In Musica"album. Diabolus has the "groove" I'm looking for, as far as metal goes.It's my favorite.Probably cause KK was left out of the writing process and only blasted solos. To this day its the only Slayer album I can sit through without gettin bored and wonderin if the cd has already started over, because it all becomes a blurr.Sadly they've never made another album like Diabolus. Instead they've chosen to rehash and remix their old songs and slap a new name on them... Yeah..yeah...yeah we know already,;steady fast beat with double bass pedal; blazin the E chord; Ra-Ra-Ra cookie monster vox; and whammy squeeled solo.....Rinse and Repeat.

Reign in blood was one of my main influences back at early 90's. A pure aggresive hyperspeed album. Now makes laugh with some of his elements, but that's ok? I love it anyway.{censored}ing metal.

Fot that matter, every song from from Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets pretty much has something to do with death or dying.

After all, their first album is titled 'KILL EM ALL'!!

If taken too seriously one might be inclined to KILL!!!!! Oh, dear!!


Take care,

Vid

[Riverdragon]

I'm thinking maybe you should try another style of music like say...polka?

:cry:

[JJZ]

slayer is {censored}ing terrible

[vidnotlaw]

Again WOW! I can appreciate others opinions, but for me this is the totally opposite!

Diabolus is my 2nd least favorite album by Slayer, with Divine Intervention being the WORST Slayer album!! I loved Slayer for the fact that they lacked the groove! It was all about the speed and heavy riffs! PURE ADRENALINE!

Oh, by the way... Slayer is not even close to being cookie monster vocals!

Take care,

I bet them Slayer dudes are carpel tunnelled like a mother{censored}er. I wonder how many times they've had seizures or strokes during their shows. My head hurts just watchin em play.Yikes.Mix in a non vein bustin song every now and then.

Diabolus was a departure for them...but it, IMO was the most BORING Slayer album. it was slower, more "groovy", and just wasnt as inspired sounding as the other albums. the songs were less complex (a nod to Hanneman's punk days!) and i dunno...it was a good album, just not Slayer.
to each his own though i personally like the death, destruction, and satanism of the classic Slayer

[Riverdragon]

For once I wish people that ripped on other bands would tell what bands they like.

[voivod]

now......if you want to check out another hardcore thrash band.....give kreator's Pleasure to kill a listen.......hoo boy!!

Spot on, alot of his reasearch is still begrudgingly used by governments today because you just can't simulate some of the stuff he was sick enough to do.

 

Classic album, but like all slayer in my experience it tends to split groups down the middle.
