Good Time to be a metal fan with a turntable

Nrostov,

Fundametalist I am not (pun intended).

I lived and slept with this Dark side for some time and made an exit back in the 70's.

Fact or Fiction:

The story goes that an angel named Lucifer was created as a musical instument. He had within himself tambourines (rhythm), pipes (wind), and stringed instuments. His duties were that of conducting worship and praise in heaven to the Father and His Son.

He was found with pride and rebellion in his heart and was relieved of his duties. "Your Pomp is brought down to Sheol and the sound of your stringed instuments. The maggot is spread under you and worms cover you. Oh how you have fallen from heaven, Lucifer son of the morning."

He was labeled by the Son of Man as the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is very skilled with music and the writing of it. His theme is that of rebellion, hate death, fear etc.... HM music with a message.

To me HM music has the smell of all the characteristics of this story about Lucifer.

Fact or fiction you decide.

Good answer TVAD.

Audiofeil,

That was a good hee haw.

Has anyone done a comparison of the sound of the LPs in the Metallica 180-gram Vinyl Box Set vs the 45rpm re-issues?

I have to agree with Maril555 on Motorhead in concert. I saw them a few years back at 1st Ave in Mpls with Anthrax and they were so loud and distorted that I left half way through their set. I was glad Anthrax went on before, because they sounded pretty good sonically (for a metal band), plus they are one of my favorite metal bands.

Erfeller,

I have both the Metallica boxed sets and the new re-issues. The re-issues are better. I wouldn't say they are night and day better, but they are certainly a big improvement.

Angel City, Max Webster, Savatage...
