Slayer & Anthrax Combine Forces

[chocularok]

As reported on several sites, Anthrax & Slayer are joining forces with the recent departure of one band's drummer & the other's guitar player. Sounds like a train wreck to me, but would be happy to be proved wrong.

April Fools?

Pretty stupid april fools, figure someone would go with something a little more of a joke, like Nirvana reforming with gay black lead singer, sounds just like original gay white singer Spurt Covein

[JamesEagle]

So what next? Pantallica? Cathedicide? Hammörhead? Suicidal Testament?

 

[Gibbo]

Aren't Metallica pretty much an on-going April Fool's gag these days?

They have been for over 20 years Gibbo.

I agree. I pretty much quit listening to them after And Justice For All

Throw me in as well,after Justice they became a shadow of their former selves.

Justice was an overblown overrated album. Some good and great songs on it, but mostly a bunch of ego wanking.

Not a patch on Puppets on Lightning.

That said, while the sound was obviously lighter, the black album was certainly not a band the shadow of its former self.

Since that, I agree its been a very slippery slope. Load had a its moments of greatness, re-load was good in places but was certainly a lot weaker than Load.

St Anger was quite possibly one of the worst albums ever until Lulu came along.

And while Death magnetic was pretty much a return to their older sound, it lacked any hooks for me and was recorded too loud for many.

 

Certainly a band that despite how huge they still are, have done nothing to actually deserve being that big still.

The new Newstead EP is head and shoulders above most modern Metallica.

[speedboi101]

Yeah after 1988 that was it for me also.

I thought 'Justice' was okay, but nothing special. Massively overrated album with one or two good tunes; a fraction as good as 'Master' or 'Lightning'. I do really like the black album though. Completely different sound, but songs like 'Through The Never', 'Of Wolf And Man', 'Don't Tread on Me', etc are fantastic metal tunes imo.

I don't hate the Black album and still think it's good but was a big change towards the MTV influence.

VENOM, SLAYER, PRONG, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, DEATH ANGEL, C.O.C., ANTHRAX, MEGADETH, all bands better then the band you debate about!
