haha cool; i feel like i'm the only one that feels that way about metallica!

i'm verbally attacked usually anytime i mention them nowadays.

Oh, damn. I almost forgot to put Coroner in my little list before. "Masked Jackal" is amazing.

" "I'm just returning to metal after spending a few years with the hippies and ravers."

I'm sorry for you...don't you even do that again. Extreme pain might befall upon ye (or is it 'thee'?)."

Actually I'm having a lot of fun trying to metalize the hippies, a lot of them came from metal roots (actually I have a lot of fun mixing as many scenes as I can, anyone who gets snobby about the other kids can suck my ****). I've started throwing massively mixed parties that run the gamut from traditional ravey stuff to industrial and metallic hybrids, and I've figured out that really rhythmically tight bands like Slayer translate really well into electronic remixes (at 145 bpm, Seasons in the Abyss starts to turn into something that does strange stuff to acidheads). I like my dark and energetic music, and I don't really care how it's made.

It's just really hard to keep the gutter punks from slam dancing with the E-tarded psy-trancers.

Not that I always want to....

Awww man I miis The Stone and The Omni, those were awesome clubs, also The One Step Beyond. Does anyone The Pony Express in Redwood city? It was a little dive but great metal bands played there
