    Yep, it's another one.
    For me, the early 90s were a grimish time for thrash metal, Joey Belladonna was gone from Anthrax, Testament were starting to cumble apart, ugh, it all fell apart. On top of that, Grunge came along and irritated me!

    Bloody terrible!

    And then these guys came back and reminded us that musicians could be funny.

    And when you wake up beside a fat hog in a trailer park, you know you're Seasoning The Obese!

    Folks, I give you Stormtroopers Of Death, Appreciate now, thank me later!

    Speak English Or Die and the semi-related USA For MOD still get heavy rotation from me, almost 25 years later. Great albums both. Bigger Than The Devil didn't do it for me, though the live album they released a couple of years ago has it's moments (The Ballad Of Kurt Cobain played several times in Seattle being one of them :D ). When it comes to landmark releases, Scott Ian and Charlie Benante don't get anywhere near the credit they deserve.

    Although, when you think of it, downtuned guitars, distorted bass, no solos... these pricks invented Nu-Metal :pac:

    Don't bet on that, Benante and Ian get a lot of credit, as does Lilker for his diversifying roles in Metal, period. Milano does come across as a bit of a cock though. Ian and Milano, i believe didn't speak for the guts of five years before the release of the "EP", speaking of which, I'm assuming you've checked out all of it's ballads? Ballad of INXS, Freddie Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix. Haven't gotten my mits on it myself yet, but they all sound comical.
