Slay-Er! Slay-Er! Amen.
Assemble the “Ghosts of War,” get “Caught in a Mosh” and “Take no Prisoners!” The legendary godfathers of metal stop at the Hard Rock Live tonight to melt faces and crush skulls. Not since the Clash of the Titans Tour (1992 maybe?) stop at the Lakeland Civic Center have these bands toured together. Anyone who saw that show – the same one that Slayer recorded their double-live Decade of Aggression album – might remember a very new Alice in Chains getting booed off stage. The irony is that AIC represented the new hard rock and probably half the people booing became fans within a year. The other half never strayed from thrash and will probably be at the HRL tonight. As a special treat, Slayer is playing the entire Seasons in the Abyss album in honor of its 20th anniversary (Holy flirking schnit – 20 years!). I would have liked to hear South of Heaven (maybe they already did that) after hearing them play Reign in Blood in its entirety a few years back. Megadeth will be playing the entire Rust in Peace and singer, Joey Belladonna, is back with Anthrax. Fuck yes.
Late Belladonna era (first era) Anthrax. “Got the Time” is a fast, vicious cruncher that ushered n a more heavy groove riff type of metal.
New York metal pioneers were maybe the first people to merge rap and rock (besides Blondie) in 1987′s “I’m the Man.” They surely regretted their pioneer status as bands like Gimp Biscuit capitalized on the merger. These guys were probably the first to break away from the traditional leather and tight, peg-leg girl jeans that was the thrash uniform and wear shorts.
