Not my favorite song by them. But I must say, Metallica has always been nice to me (seriously).Originally Posted by BigPapiEnFuego;517429;
These are the same reasons I like music. Although, I suck at playing any instrument.
Music is an essential element of life. In whatever form you enjoy.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Obviously, I have some work to do on my multi-quoting!

I try to hold myself back, because you really don't want to see me do a full musical critique of Testiment/Musical Death. Unfortunately, I do have quite a background with that type of music and I'd rather forget about it.I've moved on and I'll like the new view.
Honest question though, do you ever get headaches from that kind of music?
Haha nope. In fact i used to lay in bed with headphones on and fall asleep to stuff like Tool's Lateralus, Metallica's Master Of Puppet's and Mars Volta's France The Mute Album and a lot of ISIS.
I listen to really loud music and fall asleep to. I did last night actually.

By the way.
I would like to publicly apologize to BPEF.
At some point last summer I said something stupid and insulting to you. I don't remember what I said or when I said it. But I remember feeling regretful about it.
I said it on a public forum so I think it is appropriate to apologize on a public forum.
Whatever I said, I'm sorry.

Spud, don't worry about it. It's alright, it's forgotten. I'd like to apoligize about overreacting earlier to your post. I misunderstood the context of it and let my passion get the best of me.
thats really touching fellas, it literally brought me to tears.

:lol: I have a friend who does the same. As for sleep, I actually can't fall asleep without music. I tend to listen to more calming music, though. Some of my personal favorite "sleep" music is U2 - The Unforgettable Fire (middle of the CD is very relaxing), Jim Hall and Pat Metheny duo, Pat Metheny "One Quiet Night" (solo acoustic), Mike Stern "Voices", Dave Brubeck Quartet, and if I'm really in the mood Grateful Dead or Bruce Hornsby.
I literally drive myself insane when I don't have music. I can't spend 5 minutes in my car without music (I HATE cell phones in my car) and get easily agitated if someone is talking while I'm trying to enjoy the music. I've become dependent on listening to music to fall asleep. Just last week my headphones finally gave way and I had to sleep without music. Needless to say, I barely got any sleep.
Brubeck?
Did someone say Brubeck?
I grew up listening to Brubeck during the early 60s!
In fact, one of the best gifts ANYONE ever gave me was "Take Five" on CD.

I LOVE Dave Brubeck, his quartet was AWESOME. Time Out is one of my all-time favorite jazz albums. I absolutely love all the classical influences in his music and the odd meters are so much fun.
so good...
I don't know if I listened to them too much and just got tired of them or I've just discovered better and more intense stuff (like Nile), but Slayer's really lost their shine with me. Reign in Blood just sounds bland in comparison to things like Shovel Headed Kill Machine, Annihilation of the Wicked, Those Whom the Gods Detest, Schizophrenia, etc..., SOH and Seasons bore me... Haunting the Chapel, Hell Awaits, and WPB are the only ones I still give a shit about.
I think Overkill's replaced them as my top thrash band, with Exodus and Destruction being close seconds.
I don't know, Bobby Blitz's vocals just ruin Overkill for me.
In terms of older bands, Testament and Obituary seem to really stand the test of time. I love Slayer, but I can understand why some people don't like South of Heaven even though it's one of my favorites.
Also, see
I like Testament's newer stuff better. The Gathering is godly and Formation of Damnation is really fucking good, Low is surprisingly good considering how little talk it gets.
Bobby makes Overkill IMO, he sounds like Brian Johnson on acid lol. The only albums where his vocals were grating were Under the Influence, The Years of Decay (even though the album rules) and ReliXIV (partially due to the terrible production).
