Slayer is a bit too black-metalish and screamy for me.

Metallica's where it's at. Well...older Metallica. St. Anger serves as a great coaster, nothing more.

Slayer is thrash, not black metal. Not even close razaki. I like slayer better overall, but one, enter sandman, and master of puppets are all really good

I could very possibly be wrong on the metal classification, I admit that. The little bit of Slayer that I have heard, though, goes past just simple thrash and into darker music. To me, that's black metal, but that may very well not be the accepted standard.

I like Metallica better because my dad raised me on them.

black metal isnt classifying something as sounding heavy. It has a signature rasping/screeching vocal style, and the guitars and satanic lyrics are always easy to spot.

Perhaps Slayer doesn't have a rapsy vocal style, but I don't see how you don't believe that they lyrics are rather satanic or dark in nature. Just read them.

Slayer is more of a thrash metal band than they are black metal.

sorry haven't seen any of 'em or I think not...I don't loook at the names of the movies

oops wrong..in this case they are bands..so srry never heard of em

slayer (raining blood is awesome)

metallica

metalica, slayer screams to much
tho metalica sorta war centerd

pre-black album metalica rules!

Yeah, slayer is not satanic compared to black metal. Unless they have professed love for satan, allegiance to satan, or doing satan's deeds the lyrics are satanic. Go and listen to metal before you make arguments that you bullshit on the spot Razaki

sorry i meant not satanic
