i know quite a few very unmetalheads that say they like pantera because a few of there songs are popular... so simply saying you like pantera doesnt make you a metalhead... even if you dont like slayer you cant deny how much they have greatly, positively affected metal.. if you cant comprehend that concept then no you are not a metalhead

You can almost picture bulldozerash and coco up the front of a Justin timberlake show stroking each other. You obviously don't belong in this scene slagging off one of the pioneer's of thrash metal. Who do you think set the bench mark for most of the metal bands to date and who still lead the at the age of 40.
How many bands have been and gone and still these guy's keep going and keep there original sound.
So so find your self's a new scene you pair of c*** smugglers.

Does anyone else see the irony in a person who goes by "coco" calling themseves a "man".
coco has some c***sucking semen dumpsters paying tribute to the man who revolutionize this site back in 2006...
Pardon me while I clean the coffee off my monitor... Seriously? What the hell is that? I needed a good laugh today. Thanks "coco". lol.
NP: Eyes Of The Insane - Slayer (for "coco") lol.

bulldozerash - Saying slayer is not good is one thing but, I did not see anywhere where you backup your statement. Please give us some reasons why. Don't use a simple blanket statement.
coco - Calm down. If you don't like Slayer then you don't like Slayer. BTW, quick question, are you Jar-Jar Binks!? Talking about your self in third person?
Does anybody know if Slayer has posted any snippets of the new album online anywhere?

coco - "my hatred for them stem from the fact they have brainwashed some of idiots because they have "inspire" other bands". Fine but, I don't think that the perverse language you are using is called for. Everybody here has cursed in their posts before but language that perverse is not needed. Taking shots at "guttersniper" and "blindgreed1" is not called for either. We are here to have fun and discuss music. Please do us a favor and stop posting if you are just going to riddle you posts full of personal attacks toward other people on this board. If you would like to discuss Slayer and their music, influence,etc then do so. Nobody here is forcing you to go to the concert and see them nor or we forcing you to buy an album.

U guys are giving machine head too much props.....they aint that great.....ok, but come on.......but ive never heard or seen a slayer hater as much ad bd ever....god damn....but i feel the same way about system of a down, audioslave, terror,and the red hot chili peppers......so i know the hatred u feel doz, just not the same band

Drake-
I agree to an extent...Machine Head's older stuff wasn't that great, excluding a few songs they had (Ten Ton Hammer, Davidian, Blood Sweat & Tears etc etc) but dude, have you listened to The Blackening? one of the BEST metal albums. ever. they out-did themsleves with that. Plus how can you hate the Chili Peppers?

I use to be HUGE into Slayer, they were the first metal band I ever heard, and while I do prefer Machine Head over Slayer, I respect and still like Slayer. They were and still are revolutionary and stick to their roots. Thats more than what I can say about alot of metal bands, musical artists period.
I'd really like to know bulldozerash's reasonings for liking Slayer, all he has really done is talk alot of crap that isn't making sense, just saying "f uck slayer, bald kerry king!"
I mean this is Slayer news, why in the hell would you post "f uck Slayer"? I can understand not liking them, I don't like alot of metal bands, but I wouldn't post in their news section, saying "f uck this band!".

Blindgreed1: Thanks for the welcoming. And, yeah, it makes more sense now. I still don't get the point of bashing Slayer for no apparent reason. I've heard and seen tons of metal bands, and there were a couple I didn't really like, and still don't, but I wouldn't bash them. I respect most metal bands.
Bulldozerash: if you ever get the chance to see Slayer, do it man. I've seen them about 6 times now, and trust me, it is worth it. They put on one of the best shows I've ever seen and I've been to alot of concerts.
43. writes:
Blindgreed1: Yeah, I'd say you're right. The only bands I would ever bash are A7X, and mostly any other rock band that claims to be metal. I wouldn't mind A7X so much if they claimed to be what they are, which is mainstream rock. Same goes for BFMV and MCR.
Oh, Blindgreed, what band do you front? Curious because of your avatar.
44. writes:
Davidian: Were called Blind Greed oddly enough. lol. Looking at your last post, I think you're going to fit in just fine around here. Since we don't have a chat room, we currently use A7X threads as chat threads (with Death Bringers blessing). Currently there is no news on A7X so we are using the Burn Halo thread (because it mentions A7X). Welcome to the best metal forum on the internet man. Cheers!
NP: Davidian - MFH!!!

To post 19 - to say that Machine Head is NOT metal is ridiculous. You are entitled to your opinion, of course. Don't even get me started about Kerry King. I like Slayer, but KK is a total goofball and a attention seeking whore. Going back to Machine Head - have you even heard Burn My Eyes, Through the Ashes of Empire, or even the new album?? I am mystified how you can make the claim that Machine Head is not metal. Machine Head is bay area thrash metal, and will always be.
49. writes:
Over the years Machine Head has changed and re-changed their style, and not always in directions I liked. But I have to say their current sound is f***ing awesome. Through the Ashes of Empires and The Blackening are stellar metal albums. Both of them blow away alot of the crap I've been hearing over the last couple years.

Blindgreed1 - Sorry about the Cards Sunday. Great game though. I'll check out the myspace tonight.
Txmetalhead - 100% agree. Slayer has stayed true to their sound over the years. My only complaint with the band is the "noise".... I mean guitar solos. They all sound the same! Just my two cents.

53. writes:
Blindgreed1 - well at least you are pulling for a good team!!! I'm a Saints fan! I suffer with depression 17 weeks out of the year every year. I guess that's why NOLA has the quarter!! LOL If the Cards can get (not win get) to the super bowl, one day the stars will be right for us.

Det20: My sympathies friend. No one can deny your pain. That is no way to get into the hall of fame man.
Weasel: NFC is a b!tch of a division. Especially East. However, your Saints are (in my opinion) almost there. Every year they get more talent. Now all they need is consistency, which is something my boys struggled with this year as well.
NP: Halo - MFH
57. writes:
Weasel- lions dont do to well in drafts either, now that they have a new GM maybe we wont go for a QB or WR that wont last two seasons like they do every year. I like the saints, tough division though. Blindgreed-for the record, my favorite this year was when philly didnt just beat, but owned the cowboys.

to those who said machine head is not metal ====> this is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life (22 years y'know..)...listen to blackenening and stop b****ing.....go to a slayer concert and masturbate in front of Araya..... and i agree that the slayer's soloes are the same in every song and every f***ing album even in Psychopathy Red by jeff that i think he and lombardo are talented musicians in the band and thats that....araya just screams in every album and king just comes up with the same sh**....i hope that jeff could take the control of the writing process instead of kerry sh**ty king and maybe we can hear some bearable stuff either way the same embarrassing sh** will come out like " I made my choice 666"=LOOOOOLLLLLLLL.......
sorry for my English....
MACHINE HEAD RULESSSSSSSSSSS

"It seems you have a problem with Slayers lyrical content. Look inside MFH my friend. Devil With A Kings Card? Ahem."?????????????????????????????? how do u compare cult lyrics with this one ???
show me which part u have problem with..... ! lyrical content was not the whole thing that i said....anyway i am in minority cause most people here worship slayer...
SSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Dozer: That is true. They are pioneers of metal. What's not to love? The REAL question is why do you hate them so much to come to their thread and bash them. In Devil With A Kings Card Rob is proclaiming himself (or Machine Head depending on which verse ) as the "devil". I don't have a problem with any of it my friend. Furthermore I am not comparing the two (Cult and Devil With A Kings Card), I am merely pointing out that both lyrical styles share some things in common. If you don't like Slayer then don't listen to them. It's your loss. I for one will keep listening and seeing them live for as long as they continue to produce a product that I love and repect.
