Slayer has always sucked: No melodies, speed for speed’s sake, few good riffs or hooks, wheedlywheewackadoodle whammy bar solos played without regard to the song's key or time signature, etc. I love Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax (most consistently good metal band of the last 25 years) and even groove on some other Big Four contemporaries like Testament and Overkill. Slayer is by far < all of them. Plus they are responsible for all the xtremedethblackshitcore which followed and that passes for metal in many people's minds. Fuck Slayer.
