      That awkward moment when you actually like St. Anger. I like they went back to thrash roots. Some may argue it's not a thrash album (no guitar solos also in this list), but after having having to suffer the horror that is I Disappear from the MI soundtrack, I'm glad they got away from crap like that. I'll gladly listen to St. Anger over Load/Reload/Black album any day.
      But yeah I laughed as well. I understand the hate. It does sound like crap after all. But at least they got some speed back.

    Thrashers rules
    Rule 1. Become a metal elitist and your top of your game.
    Rule 2. Hate any other band after the mid 90s
    Rule 3. No matter what you do drink beer and eat pizza.
    Rule 4. When you go to back yard shows no matter who plays, just be unimpressed with your arm crossed
    Rule 5. Always pregame at the parking lot, to the point you don’t even remember what band are you going to see.
    Rule 6. Wear a battle vest. The more patches the more cooler you are than others.
    Rule 7. Hit/flirt on at every girl at any show even if their taken.
    Rule 8. Always be entitled to your music opinions even if they’re not facts
    Rule 9. Support underground bands even if they don’t play
    Rule 10. Hate on any band who become successful out of the underground and call them sell outs.
    Rule 11. If it ain’t metal, it sucks

The Big Four of The British Invasion are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks. I'm a huge fan of the 60s music scene. The 60s changed a lot in music like the 80s did. The 70s and 90s were decent, but they're not as awesome as the 60s and 80s were. And The Kinks totally the Number 4 spot for British Invasion bands more than Anthrax being apart of the Big Four of Thrash. Sepultura is a part of my Big Four. I get that Metallica gets a lot of hate, but I don't really care. What makes they high on my list is Kill Em All and Ride the Lighting. Loves these albums to death that they're both in my top 10 for rock/metal albums of all time. Megadeth is really awesome too. Dave Mustaine is a guitar god. Their discography is more consistent than Slayer in my opinion, although Slayer is awesome too. Their 80s albums are really awesome. The 90s wasn't that kind to them, but Seasons in the Abyss is excellent. The rest is pretty solid. Sepultura is one of my other favorite metal bands too. My top 3 albums from them are Beneath the Remains, Arise, and Chaos AD. These 3 albums alone makes them an excellent band. They did struggle after Max left, but they did bounce back, and with their most recent album being so good, it looks like they're back in the game. Sepultura hasn't replaced Slayer because they're already in my Big Four. Slayer's replacement is Sodom.

    I love these, but disagree with 97 here. Sepultura are on a 3 album run that meets (exceeds in my opinion) the classic run of Beneath, Arise, Chaos. What Eloy Casagrande has given them is insane and Andreas is writing the best music of his career !!!

    • @RuthlessMetalYT
      @RuthlessMetalYT  Před 3 lety +3

      Nah, Sepultura hasn't done anything decent since Beneath. :) I've listened to the last 2-3 records and some of those 90s records, they are slightly becoming better but still not really worth my time in my opinion, but. :)
