OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

[tesco samoa]

i always thought speed metal was stuff like Sore Throat, Naplam Death and the great libary from Earache Records, and Land Speed Records.

The Slayer Reigh in Blood is a classic album. From beginning to end.

Speed Metal is usually confused with Thrash, mostly because many bands play both. Classic Speed metal bands would be Slayer and Sepultura. Then you have albums like Metallica's "And justice for all" which its undoubtely a Thrash album, but the Last song, "Dyers eve" is an Speed Metal song. To add more confusion, most radio stations gave up this classification and call them just Heavy Metal bands, when Heavy Metal is just one kind of metal, not a generic name for all types of metal.

Me likes metal. But calling Slayer and Sepultura speed metal would be wrong. They have both gone from death metal bands to a more speedier genre yes but their work from the beginning is not speed metal. I like them though.
It happens that i recently discovered 3 good new bands from a friend of mine who reviews cds ( rockreport ) namely: Evergreen (kick ***), Nightwish (even better) and Vanden plas(good).

One of my all time favourite cd's is still "Heartwork" from Carcass. I like their "Swansong" too. Other bands i like: Amorphis, Anathema, Cathedral (Forest of Equilibrium rules!), BoltThrower, Samael, My dying bride, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

I couldn't agree more. Angel Of Death & Raining blood are my favourite songs though from that album

Where does my Europe "The Final Countdown" album fit into all this?

Into an incinerator, or, if you try playing it anywhere near me, up your arse. Sideways.

Or play it backwards. It's rumoured to be quite a hit played that way in metal underground mids

Aloofi, probably the same reason that you give your place of origin as "anywhere but Europe".

I suppose I could narrow it down and say that I give Californians and any north american I suspect of liking country & western music a 1 star rating as a matter of principle.

What do I know, I am scared of clowns and morris dancers

Very few Californians like country or western music GT. That type of music is more prominent in the mid-west, not the west. If you are going to bash an entire region of a large country, you better get it straight. I personally hate country music.

You may have suspected me since we've had recent 'discussions'. However I haven't rated anyone on this forum ever IIRC.

Even if I had, I wouldn't give you a 1 - I love the FQM...

[Fyron]

Must have been lurkers that rated me with those 1s then. I guess they aren't likely to fess up any time soon, as then they would hardly remain "lurkers".

I think those first ones must have been 4s. I just got another rating, any my average dropped by .1 or so. The first ones only lowered it by like .01. Oh well. Lets see if I can't still get a 1 average.

Quick, grab sand bags!!! He's floating away!! I wanred you about blowing that much smoke up Fyron's a.... never mind....

Seriously though, as a midwesterner, I think you are wrong about country music being a midwest thing.
