But now I'm safe in the eye of the TOR-NA-DO

They were still pretty fun, though.  "Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon" lol

Not a bad band, but no means a favorite of mine. Just never got into them I s'pose

The only metal band that ever scared me on first impression was Cannibal Corpse. After I listened to their first album, I had nightmares for about 3 days straight.

Oh and obviously I was into DT at the time but no one else really was.  Well, one of my friends thought "Pull Me Under" was good, it actually was played on the radio a bunch at the time!

Yeah, DT's only radio hit song I haven't listened to them much at all lately. I gave the Number Of The Beast Bootleg a listen recently, mainly for the purpose of writing a review for PA though, about 900 words on I think.
Other than that, not much DT listening at all.

In a time when metal has moved forward so much in complexity and just general compositional excitement, a return to a late 80s style is not enough for me to justify buying the album. I would rather hear a band pushing the envelope than a band recreating the past.

I know what you mean, although for Metallica maybe recreating the past is better than outright sucking ass.

It is, but I think it's just them trying to make another AJFA... The only difference being that DM, based on a few samples I heard, didn't blow me away. At all.

I heard the new Metallica stuff, it was not bad.. but that was it really, not bad. I wonder if they ever tour Aus again, I might actually go, especially if the set was their 80s stuff.
Might even get to see Lars Ulrich stand up while playing drums so the crowd can see him better

I made if halfway through that album, pushed the stop button, and returned it to the record store.

I heard some of St Anger a few times.......... yeah.
That was enough



Ohh and Cya Pat.
