Taking a break from AM Sports radio (because it sucks with MLB All Star break).

On my ride home from work, I dusted off my CD case and enjoyed music I haven't listened to in years: SLAYER and MEGADETH.

SLAYER Divine Intervention - I got the chills, remembering the good ol' days.

MEGADETH Rust in Peace - Ummm.. AWESOME.

Nothing better than 1990's Metal. I would've played some Pantera, but my 45 minute drive home didn't allow time for that.

I can't wait for the drive to work tomorrow...

rust in peace is one of the best "metal" albums of the early 90s.
every song kicks serious ass. megadeth at their prime. clean, sober, and serious.

90-95 were great years for metal.

and then....it sucked.

a little vulgar display of power or far beyond driven tommy?

far beyond driven is playing on my computer right now. I can't believe I stopped listening for so long.

Listening to "I'm Broken"......
A Lost Favorite

I'll second Rust In Peace as Megadeth's finest hour. The Mustaine/Friedman chemistry was brilliant.

I saw Slayer at the Aragon in '86. Awesome show, but the Aragon and the big city was quite the culture shock to a 16 year old from bumfuck.

Pantera rules from Cowboys til Driven. Trendkill was cool and Reinventing The Steel was decent. I really dug the Damageplan disc and think Down and Superjoint are great. They will never surpass that stretch from 90-94. Vintage metal!

Saw Megadeth in the mid 90s at the Aragon. It was a really good show.
Not really into that type of music any more but I did enjoy those guys
quite a bit live. Rust in Peace is a great album.

Megadeth's last two discs are really good as well. Check out the tracks "Kick the Chair" and "Sleepwalker" if you get a chance.

floods is one of my favorite pantera songs....that and suicide note part I and II.

Slayer \m/ (want to request headbanging emoticon!)

Diabolus in Musica is my favorite Slayer album besides Reign in Blood and is very underrated. And seeing Slayer in concert last year with Lombardo back was just awesome.

CSFMB Slayer outing? lol

And Rust in Peace was so ahead of its time - just a brilliant album top to bottom. Looks like I know what I am going to listen to on the way home today, thanks for the reminder Tommyp!

Listened to Vulgar on the way to work this morning (I'm still fired up).

I also came across my Fear Factor and Machine Head CD's. I give them a listen for the ride home.

I know it's probably not "cool" anymore, but I am a huge fan of Metallica and always have been - sellouts or not. I think that their music helped to redefine the genre and keep it going when it just wasn't cool to be heavy metal anymore.

Charlie: Oh shit. Look at that door dude. See that door right there? That door marked 'Pirate'? You think a pirate lives in there?
Dennis: I see a door marked 'Private.'

Ride the Lightening and Master of Puppets; great.

And Justice for All; Their best IMO

It always has been, always is, and always will be cool to be metal.

Old school Metallica is awesome. Black album up until the one before Death Magnetic not so good. (Black album had some good songs - just nothing great). Death Magnetic I really like and is a solid album.

Enough about that though... this is a thread about SLAYER!! \m/

I saw slayer with lamb of god, children of bodom and mastadon a couple of summers ago with Lombardo.

Metallica from 1983-1989...I think I listened to death magnetic once. I saw the Justice tour at Alpine.
I was 14.

I'm pretty sure I was at that Slayer show in '86. My intro to Slayer was through my cousin. On Halloween one year we sat on top of the roof of his house and scared kids away by blasting "South of Heaven".

I think the loudest concert I went to was in 1988, I believe at The Aragon. It was the Headbangers Ball tour. I'm pretty sure it was Helloween/Overkill/Motorhead? Motorhead had to be the loudest band I've ever seen/heard.

I 2nd the Rust In Peace album as being the best as well. I love "Holy Wars...Punishment Due" I wish that line-up would've stayed together.

Maybe since I'm a bit older, I consider vintage metal being from '86-92.

South of Heaven is my favorite Slayer CD and This Love is one of my favorite Pantera songs.

God talk about the old days. I have a tape collection with the likes of Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Flotsam and Jetsam, Maiden.....I have a jean jacket at my parents with the big back patch Anthrax Among the Living, Metallica and Slayer patches on it.

I was a huge fan of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction...something Symphony of Destruction - I still use that song today on my running ipod. I saw Metallica on the Black Album tour and caught Kirk's pick. Well, it just fell in my hand.

Vince, I bet our tape collections are exactly the same.

high speed dirt & skin o' my teeth!
i got wrists donning slits...flowing constantly...my broken body in a wreck, wrapped around a tree.
a crosswalk, hit and run, the finish line for me, people clutter, in the gutter, to take a look and see...

There are more headbangers, closeted and otherwise, on this board than I thought. By the way, Slayer has a show in Tinley on Sunday, THIS Sunday, the 26th. Should be good, if one doesn't have to get up to go to work on Monday.

I seem to recall that there was not a ton of new stuff happening in metal between 90-93, there was certainly music, but seems to me there was a lull there for a bit with the heavier stuff.
metallica sucked (imo), pantera, megadeth, slayer, and whatever anthrax was doing. that was about it.
....and then came Korn.
