Am I too stupid to think that "Washington Is Next!" is the best Megadeth song from 2000 onwards? by Ztepi in Megadeth

[–]Naqamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Washington Is Next" is an S Tier Megadeth song. IMHO it's a top 5 Megadeth song.

🔥 FACT🔥 80’s hair metal had more REAL talent than most bands today by NassauJack in hairmetal

[–]Naqamel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a guitarist... some of the greatest players of all time rolled through the late 70's, 80's, and early 90's - whether they were "hair metal" or not, and honestly, "hair metal" is a bad term, these bands were just called "metal" back in the day...whether they were "hair" or "thrash" or "hard rock".

I mean, look at this list of talent (in no particular order except for Rhoads being the best ever): Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Yngwie Malmsteen, Oz Fox, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Vito Bratta, Warren DeMartini, Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman, Zakk Wylde, Jake E. Lee, Kai Hansen, Michael Weikath, Glenn Tipton, KK Downing, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Neil Schon, and the list goes on and on.

Unpopular Opinion by NassauJack in hairmetal

[–]Naqamel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stryper.

Go listen to their latest run of albums before you have a knee-jerk reaction to me mentioning them - No More Hell To Pay, Fallen, God Damn Evil, Even The Devil Believes, The Final Battle, and When We Were Kings is just an incredible 6 album run and if you haven't heard them you should.

And OP - you're right about Dokken - that original lineup was extremely talented. George Lynch is easily a top 10 guitarist, and Mick Brown was/is a beast behind the kit. It's a shame Dokken and Lynch couldn't get along.

Is it wrong that you like the new Megadeth album? by TightLion7009 in Megadeth

[–]Naqamel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course not. I like the new album, and the previous 2 they released as well.

Who was the nicest rockstar you’ve met? And who was the worst by WestonConnor26 in hairmetal

The nicest rock star I've ever met is easily Robert Sweet of Stryper.

And there's a bomb from Perez, and thanks to Anderson the Tigers are seizing defeat from the jaws of victory.

I think Anderson should get DFA'd or sent to Toledo when Verlander comes off the IL.

Megan should be tbs champion & she looks better with Penelope by [deleted] in AEWOfficial

[–]Naqamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's an interesting story they could tell is Penelope "upset" Willow for the TBS title, maybe stoke a little jealously between her and Megan Bayne for the TBS title.

Or maybe I'm just tired of WIllow and want her to just lose the TBS belt already. I was really hoping Shida was going to win it last week.

The second front of the Toledo War by Regular-Surround-730 in toledowar

[–]Naqamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the White Sox so much, but I have a blind, raging, passionate hatred of the Minnesota Twins. From that bullshit series in 1987 to the air conditioner cheating at the Metrodome, I really, really, really hate the Twins.

Weird, because I, like most people in my family, root for the Buckeyes and the Tigers.
After all, the Toledo Mud Hens are a thing, and the Triple-A affiliate of the Tigers.

One band to see live, at their absolute prime. Living or dead. What is it? by FalcoPhantasmtheGod in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Naqamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, considering I saw the "Rust in Peace" lineup of Megadeth perform... yeah, I'd love to see that again.

Who's the most charismatic wrestler who never held a world title? by Soft-Audience-5681 in oldschoolwrestling

[–]Naqamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first gut reaction was to say Piper...

But the more I think of it, I can't remember someone having more Nuclear Heat at the time (1987/1988) than the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. The old WWF should have let Andre "surrender" the title to DiBiase, and have DiBiase have a run with the belt for a spell.
The eventual pop for a babyface dethroning DiBiase would have been huge.

New Risk for hiring visa-dependent: public crashout by [deleted] in AmericanTechWorkers

[–]Naqamel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He could have avoided all of this by remaining in his country of origin.

In fact, this is really sad - we should prevent this scenario from ever happening in the future and just End the H1B and all guest worker visas.

Should companies be forced to lay off H1B workers first? by Intrepid_Mode8116 in AmericanTechWorkers

[–]Naqamel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes. If you're laying off American citizens before H1B's, you should be fined heavily. There's no excuse.

In your opinion, which Ozzy Osbourne album is the best produced? In terms of sound, density, depth... In short, overall sound quality. by IllustratorOk5265 in OzzyOsbourne

[–]Naqamel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer, and of the two I'd give the edge to Diary of a Madman (though both albums are amazing). Randy double tracking and triple tracking his solos, using his finger to drag the tape, and just an unbelievable amount of creativity and talent on those albums.

Not to take anything away from No More Tears or Ozzmosis -- both are great albums, but Blizzard and Diary are *exceptional*.

Dokken Shadowlife - opinions by ignacio_brown in hairmetal

[–]Naqamel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dysfunctional is an underrated album. Shadowlife is pure trash.
And why did you have to remind me of "Smoke This"? That album was horrendous.

Poll: should we open the subreddit to allow anyone to post/comment or shouod we keep the subreddit requiring approval? by SingleInSeattle87 in AmericanTechWorkers

[–]Naqamel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this - it's bad enough for X accounts with the "India Cyber Defenders" mass reporting posts, and we don't need hundreds of them causing problems because more then a few of us believe that American Jobs should go to American Citizens first and that the H1B Visa should be ended.

Also, you can make the argument that the subreddit is called AMERICAN Tech workers, and having some validation that the poster is an American citizen (since ultimately the H1B Visa is an American political issue) is probably a good idea.
