To me, Slayer's run in the 80s and early 90s was even better than Metallica's run in the 80s.
Not to mention, Metallica completely sucked ass after that run, and produced some of the albums that I hate the most. Not because of how bad the music is, the music is still there sometimes, and honestly, the quality of the work is better than a lot of other music. The thing that gets me is how dramatically they changed their style starting with the Black Album.
Hetfield just can't pull it off trying to sing like that. Every time I hear one of the Unforgiven songs I just about vomit.
Not that Slayer has been releasing anything decent for a while now, and dat nu metal album.... Eesh.... Still better than The Unforgiven II.
