Thanks for the info. But on another note, is that kind of like shredding the same three notes over and over?
I too get confused by how to generalize metal, and am often verbally ripped apart if I don't put Slayer into the right sub genre of Metal, along with other bands. Metal elitists suck for the most part, unless they are being elitist about how good the music may be, and not what to call it and how to generalize it.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's quality, I will listen to it.
