There was another comedian that was arguing that people always say we need to stop drugs to 'save the kids'....but drugs have done wonders for music...so there has to be a trade off. How kid lives is Darkside of the Moon worth? 50?

i've realized metalheads on the internet are fucking douchebags. on almost every metal youtube video or on websites like blabbermouth, metalsucks, smnnews, everyone is talking shit saying what bands aren't true metal and that the fans are retarted for listening to something that's not true metal. some people need to shut the fuck up and let people listen to what they want. one can only act so tough behind a keyboard.

Bill Hicks wouldn't like 80's hardcore very much. (at least not Minor Threat.)

It's probably lack of exposure, I guess. But it's the same thing as a person with an accent though really. I've had math professors in school that had absurdly thick Russian accents, which didn't faze me whatsoever (lol brooklyn) - but the kids from Long Island who hadn't ever really dealt with that before, they spend the entire first half of the semester complaining I CANT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HE SAYS THIS SUUUUUCKS. I think death vocals are pretty much the same way. Because of that, I can totally understand not liking them because of the sound itself, but complaining that they're impossible to understand is like hating certain power metal singers because their finnish accents are hard to understand.

It's not just the internet.

Agree. But that doesn't make the other two bad, or the albums Maiden made with the other two bad. And because of that, I totally get why people like Blaze, which was your original point.

Bruce is better and I doubt many people would deny that. But the material with Blaze was still good (most of it anyway), so it doesn't matter that better material exists (with Bruce), that stuff is still good.

Plus, his solo stuff is excellent.

I have a feeling he would've liked them very much, or probably he did like them.

Someday, I will get myself a Blaze solo album. He was a good singer in his own right and doesn't deserve half the crap he gets.
