Thank you for this, by the way
I'm off to look some of these up
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:13, Reply)

My pleasure.

If you did this for every genre
and we all made CD's it would be one hell of a box set.

Now That's What Monty Calls Music!

I'll admit, I've never even heard of three of these bands.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:31, Reply)

'Metal' I think is fucking gay.
Black Sabbath are brilliant but you can shove your Iron Maidens, your Megadeths, your fucking whatevers up your arse: it's a silly genre for spotty Pratchett readers with no girlfriends.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:05, Reply)

In the interests of equality...
One: Metallica
Raining Blood: Slayer
Mouth For War: Pantera
Sweet Leaf: Black Sabbath
Blood and Thunder: Mastodon
In My Darkest Hour: Megadeth
Refuse/Resist: Sepultura
Bring The Noise: Anthrax
Savior: Rise Against
Master of Puppets: Metallica again

Apologies for obvious choices, very much top of my head

Ever heard 'Sweat Loaf' by the Butthole Surfers?
That is a superb cover version.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:11, Reply)

I have not
That goes on the list, cheers

It's properly insane.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:15, Reply)

It really is.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:17, Reply)

Sorry mate, but you're wrong here.
Mouth For War Hollow/5 Minutes Alone/Walk/Cemetery Gates

And would you really class Rise Against as metal? I'd say they're closer to punk.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:12, Reply)

That's a stretch, I'll admit
Crowbarred in for being one of my favourite songs currently.

I'll give you Cemetary Gates but Mouth For War trumps the rest. I have heard Walk too many times now though
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:14, Reply)

I can understand about Walk
And I'm currently extremely ashamed of myself I didn't even write Cowboys From Hell.

Rise Against are excellent, I agree.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:15, Reply)

I listened to Cemetary Gates the other day
and it refreshed my opinion that while Pantera had their moments, and Dimebag was pretty good, they are on the whole quite gay.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:21, Reply)

I saw them once - they were indeed quite gay.
cf Sepultura. Gaylords.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:24, Reply)

as a big fan of Metallica
I can recognise that they are bent, whiny, money grabbing shitheads, and yet they still produced significantly less gay music than Pantera
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:25, Reply)

'Pant-tearer', more like!!!!!!!

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:26, Reply)

Must disagree with you most fervently here sir
Pantera were the finest metal band of the 90s, for my money. Please note I do not consider Tool, Korn or NIN to be "metal".
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:26, Reply)

Also producing one of the finest albums, with Vulgar Display Of Power.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:28, Reply)

I thought it might get to you
They're just a band I've never been in to and revisiting them now does nothing for me. Unlike Slayer who I like far more now than I ever did before.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:29, Reply)

I tend to go the other way with Slayer
They are obviously exceptional, and their performances live are astonishing. But that doesn't stop me from getting quite bored, quite quickly with them.

Hearing Tom Araya roaring 'Raining blooooood' is something entirely special though.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:31, Reply)

I actually agree that Pantera don't sound anywhere near as good now as I remember them
but that's because my tastes have moved on. At the time, they were fucking brilliant.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:34, Reply)

they were of a time
it happens with some bands. Some of Pearl Jam's stuff for instance is kind of dated.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:38, Reply)

Couldn't agree more
Find it hard to believe I ever liked them as much as I did
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:40, Reply)

Darth Darth Darth
With regard to your best song ever answer, would it be wrong to ask you why?
( djtrialprice, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:41, Reply)

Not at all, sir
Faith No More are by far my favourite band and Digging The Grave is my favourite song of theirs.

Or anyone else's.

Today.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:44, Reply)

Complete and utter fail
What's the first line of that awesome song?

I actually recorded a cover of it when I was learning to use home studio software. That's from my favourite FNM album too :)
( djtrialprice, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:46, Reply)

The first line is "It would be wrong to ask you why"
/pedantry

Apologies for missing that, I mistook it for a genuine query. On B3TA. There is no hope for me.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:48, Reply)

Yeah, so your answer should have been
It would be wrong to ask me (you) why.

Meh. I fucking love Faith No More too. Saw them twice in 2009.
( djtrialprice, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:54, Reply)

Grr
Never saw FNM live. Not once. Was unable to make the reunion gigs.

It still burns.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:57, Reply)

My Top 10
Metallica - Creeping Death
RATM - Testify (has to be played at ear bleeding volume)
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Sepultura - Born Stubborn
Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark (Live version)
Chimaira - Power Trip
Rammstein - Keine Lust
Metallica - One
Behemoth - Ov Fire And The Void

Well, they're my personal favourites (at the moment).
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:26, Reply)
