QUOTE(Madden @ Apr 6 2007, 12:48 PM) [snapback]368440[/snapback]Yes, but are you expecting bands like Metallica to continue producing the same music for 20-something years, and for it to still have the same flair and impact?
Bands get bored, bands get old, its an inevitability. What I'm saying is, if you want to hear awesome thrash metal, don't keep expecting that new Metallica record to be good, because it wont be. Check out the Californian thrash bands, check out the UK thrash bands.

thats the thing i do!...saviours supported mastodon this year they rocked!!!
the whole point i set this thread up is to show the slump and how bands do get bored these days!

no i didnt say that, theirs plenty of bands in every genre that excite me, but your being negative with almost every post ive made and i did NOT sign up to take shit from someone like you
i listen to demo's everyday of the week from new bands and old bands that were around before i was even born so dont give me bullshit about listening to mainstream and fuckin over the other bands

FUCK YOU!!!....how dare you try and say i only listen to popular bands dont be an asshole all your fucking life, i listen to bands that i like if it happens to be underground or mainstream i couldnt give two shits

mainstream rock for the past 10 years has been so goddamn simple and bland, it really irritates me. its like all of them just want to sound like each other and see who can achieve the same sound the best, rather than making something original and fresh.
i think we're due for something new and revolutionary in rock/metal, but who knows, its been a while.

Sabbat and Onslaught are both great thrash bands from the UK, but neither are part of the "scene".

QUOTE(Psycho Therapy @ Apr 9 2007, 12:14 AM) [snapback]369576[/snapback]Izzy wrote pretty much everything with Axl. Slash's leaving was the catalyst for Duff and Matt to go, but they probably would've remained together and even released material if Izzy had stayed.
Exactly.
QUOTE(Madden @ Apr 9 2007, 01:35 AM) [snapback]369611[/snapback]It was all about money, as it always is with bands like that.
ah i think with izzy it was more he didn't like how big the band got and like all the shit he had to put up with specially with Axl...he's got a better life than all them now, does his own thing and he's got a good bit of money from cd sales, think he must get a cut every year. He releases a solo album every now and then as a bit of hobby.

not really...izzy really affected everything, slash leaving was like, well he was their lead guitarist so he was important but in all honesty izzy was the buffer state between axl and slash, he was the inbetween man just like kirk hammett is the inbetween man in Metallica stopping Lars and James from tearing each others hair out. When izzy left, nothing was there to stop slash and axl battling it out. So that's what broke up GnRs.

Izzy wrote pretty much everything with Axl. Slash's leaving was the catalyst for Duff and Matt to go, but they probably would've remained together and even released material if Izzy had stayed.

QUOTE(We Are The Decieved @ Apr 8 2007, 12:54 PM) [snapback]369399[/snapback]but do people see the point im making of bands not achieving such a progression in their music these days and when the get big they dont get half as big as they actually used to do......
also whats your opinion on....does a band get bigger and stay rememberd longer if...a key member dies, they break up when their doing great, theirs some kind of controversy within the band or with another band.........and are they remembered as assholes for this or as rock gods!
e.g Led Zeppelin - John Bonham - 1980 - they are still known as ledgends
Guns and roses - no more slash! - still remembered for when they were great

please dont start raving about underground bands again.....im taking mainstream bands as an example!
Guns and Roses?! Fuck slash!...what about Izzy? After he left everything went down the toilet! You think slash was the main protaganist in GnRs, nah it was Izzy and Axl...after Izzy left it was Axl's band and we all know where that ended.

yeah maybe i was ignorant to that but i think slash was the main catalyst on why gnR broke up in the end, i know izzy affected it but slash but the final nail in their coffin...
