It was a good episode of Metal Evolution, I recorded it and watched this morning.

 

Lars has a point, as a fan back then I wondered were things were going after 6-7 years of what was then super fast metal.

 

Slayer put out a couple of monster albums that were even better than the previous, and those were good. I wondered where they were going to take it from there. We all know there is no music movement or wave that will last more than several years.

 

Frankly it is remarkable that any band lasts more than 10 years.

 

Metallica changed, some call it a visionary move, some call it a sell out. Truth is interest in Thrash Metal fizzled, I was too part of that, I just did not think the other Thrash bands were putting great material.

They were a sign of things to come, Thrash didn't die, the fans started to drift away, the same fans that accuse Metallica of selling out. This is why i was saying that to some Metallica had the vision of changing their pace and the black album was a huge success despite Grunge....then the rest of 90's kind of sucked.

 

Grunge killed a lot of things really and did not contributed as much as it took away IMO.

 

I like the structure of this series, this guy knows his stuff. I liked that Slayer's Reign in Blood was named as the epitome of Thrash, a lot of folks insist that it is Master of Puppets.
