I like metal, but not the same sub-genres as most of the stuff you posted. My favorite band that would be classified as metal would be Protest the Hero (Progressive Metal):

I'm surprised that there was someone else here that listened to Protest the Hero

I've listened to PTH since I was in Grade 7 man XD one of my favorites. Always used to blast Fortress in the computer lab when I played Bloons Tower Defense hahaha


I think I have been listening to PTH since about a year before they released that album.

Not a big metal fan, more classic rock. However I discovered a cover of a song called Dragon Attack, which was originally done by my fave band Queen. The cover was by a band called Testament, who I now think are great.

I think I bought all the albums from those songs except the Machine Head one. I think I only have "The Blackening" bought. Of course, not having bought something doesn't mean I don't have it and/or have listened to it, you know what I mean?

I think I have that CD from the concert, haven't listen to it but I didn't realized he played Strapping Young Lad stuff there. I listed to Love? a lot back in the day.

Gotta love this dude:

BS what did they inflience at all? NAme 1 thing they did they would not be around had they not did it? They are the definition of generic, repetitive metal with cliche terrible lyrics.  Not to mention the worst solos known to man.

You are just a guy with an opinion. You come here like people everywhere else like to do and go and try to put your opinion out while claiming it somehow defines a band, as if your opinion would be an irrefutable messurement for the quality of things. Your opinion is just one in a sea of perspectives.

You take opions out and only facts remain, and the fact is that Slayer is one of the most influential Metal bands in Heavy Metal history. I doesn't matter how generic you believe them to be, it doesn't matter how bad you think their chaotic solos are, because there is a fact, and that fact is that bands cite them as influence and inspirations and it doesn't matter how overrated you think they are, the fact is that Slayer has helped shape Metal as it is now.

You want to know what has Slayer influenced?

Here you go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer#Legacy

Not just in Metal, Slayer has been an influence outside of it:

You came here and praised Iced Earth, didn't you:

sultanofpoon said:

Iced Earth, glad to see someone else mention them. They have been very underrated for years.

Well, look at what Jon Schaffer, founding member and current member of Iced Earth said about the Iced Earth sound:

"We're a metal band. That's what we are. We have every dynamic from Pink Floyd to Slayer and everything in between."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy72-nSh0s4

So yeah, you can keep on hating on Slayer all you want, you are entitled to your opinion, but your opinion won't make a single dent on the importance of Slayer in Metal.


Nothing he said has anything to do with being influenced or anything slayer innovated, he said they have sound like them and others LOL.

 

If slayer never existed all those bands would be here and metal would be the same today...they are a walking metal cliche, and everything that people sterotype metal to be. Bands liek Maiden, Metallica, megadeth did a lot more for metal in 1 album then slayer has in an entire career.

 

You want to know what Slayer did? They wrote a lot of memorable fucking songs. I'm guessing you're a fan of guitar wankery, but Slayer did what the Zack Wylde's, and Yngwie Malmsteen's of the world never did, which is write songs that people give a shit about. If you don't like it, that's fine, but a lot of people did, including a ton of metal bands across the board. It's retarded to say Slayer isn't influencial just because you don't like them. Walking metal cliche? They helped crate the walking metal cliche. When Metallica was still weaing eyeliner, slayer was doing it's own thing.
