I can't understand how anyone would wanna listen to Michael Jackson on a regular basis after the last weeks. And saying people are morons because they listen to any of these bands regulary is just as moronic.

Aaanyways. I don't have any favourite, but thought I'd pitch in some memorable riffs by bands that haven't been added yet
UFO - Can you Roll Her (1976.. I think?)
Alice Cooper - Desperado (1971)
Aerosmith - Walk this Way (1975?)

Uh, yeah right. His music is so fucking heavy, so brutal, that he made Metallica and Slayer sound like two white furry puppies gently eating a strawberry, even back in the 80s. Suuuuure...*headbangs to Metallica - Trapped Under Ice*

But hey, YOU silly schoolgirls asked that I'd put him up there (a pop artist, he never was a hard rock singer), so I was being nice and chose his only hard rock song, out of all his pop songs he's done. If you come to this thread worshiping Michael Jackson's music over other artists on a HARD ROCK/HEAVY METAL thread, then you're a moron. Have a nice day. Jackasses. :)

Too MODERN for you, old-timer? I was just about to write a three paragraph novel about how your links shine like Jesus on Mt. Sinai in this confusing thread of stupidity and bad taste, but nope, you blew it. Not with Metallica, because there are so many things wrong in that band, not with Guns N' Roses, because they are well, glamrock, but with Pantera.

Dunno about you guys, but Pantera fucking kicked ass. They were quite talented in the earlier 90s, and helped save metal from being completely exterminated by grunge. How could you not enjoy Cowboys From Hell or Vulgar Display of Power if you are indeed a fan of metal?

Their stuff beats most of the 80s glam pop MTV bands (Yeah, I know, I started this thread), even though they started glam themselves too. Sure, they copied off Exhorder but worked 15 times as hard as them to get where they are.

I am no fan of Guns N' Roses or Metallica (post-Kill 'Em All), though. So those are the only two bands I hate from Marge's list. Modern or old has nothing to do with what is good and bad. I only care about the style of songwriting in metal that has been lost since 1995. I despise the coming of alternative, industrial, and worst of all, Nu-metal. Fuck Limp Bizkit, fuck Marilyn Manson (Alice Cooper wannabe), and fuck Slipknot! I'd rather eat Corn than listen to one.
