Photo of Slayer

Band Photo: Slayer (?)

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has obtained a photo of one of the offending SLAYER bus benches scattered throughout the city of Fullerton, California which have caused city officials to demand their removal. The 17 bus benches, which "went up" this past weekend, are promoting SLAYER's new album, "Christ Illusion". This past Monday (July 31), the city officials called the company that the group's record label (American) hired to put the ads in place, demanding that they remove the SLAYER ad/artwork, reportedly because they did not like the name of the band, which they feel refers to a murderer. They are also apparently offended by the antichrist and skull logo on the bench artwork.

Check out a photo of one of the SLAYER bus benches at this location.

Nice!!! I wouldn't mind hanging that ad in my house!! These morons are worried about that ad instead of the criminals around there?? Good to know THEIR priorities are in order. I guess you can kill somebody nowadays, as long as noone is offended in the process.

Because not ONE of the bands he listed were really Metal. I mean Korn is Nu-Metal and the mass doesnt recognize Nu-Metal as a class of good music anymore. As much as I like mudvayne they are lumped into that faction.

so i guess the question is, what is classified as actual metal now a days? is it still the old bands that started it (black sabbath, judas priest, iron maiden etc.) or can the new metal bands actually be catagorized as actual "metal" without being put into the "death metal" "nu metal" etc. catagorys.

Well the newer metal you are referring to is classified so far by:

"New Wave of American Heavy Metal" which includes bands like Lamb of God, Unearth etc...

Then theres just "New Metal" which seem to include acts like Opeth and such.

that doesnt mean someone who doesnt like slayer couldnt still like metal. did you really think that i was just refering to korndogg? i hear people saying the "no slayer=no metal" bullsh** all the time, often to people that still like "real" metal.

NOTHING IS CONSIDERED "REAL" METAL ANYMORE!
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF METAL, TO JUDGE SOMEONE AND SAY THEY DONT LIKE METAL, BECAUSE ITS NOT THE METAL THAT YOU LIKE IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS!
ITS ALL OPINION, AND EVERY BAND I NAMED IS IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER "METAL"
