Slayer is defiantly fun music. The soloing is horrible and they can't really harmonize vocally. But they are fun. It is what it is.
I really like Volbeat right now.
we used to love to play slayer...the main reason??...early on slayer never played a song the same way twice...they were always screwing up their own songs..the album, to one concert, to another concert...the same song would be done three different ways...made it easy for a garage band because nobody could really tell if you were screwing up.....my band RedRum always tried to play the album versions but would invariably screw up a few times...we had this thing where if anyone screwed up their riff..the entire band would instantly stop and turn and look at the guy who screwed up for about two seconds, then we would just jump right back into the jam where we left off....would make for three or four pauses in a set...the local kids seamed to like it....got lots of free beer back then.
