The "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To" Thread

[The Reverend Floater]

Metalica:

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by whos to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
[chorus:]
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

Blackened is the End
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly Nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED.

Opposition (opposition)...Contradiction (contradiction)...Premonition (premonition)...Compromise
Agitation (agitation)...Violation (violation)...Mutilation (mutilation)...Planet Dies
Darkest Color,
Blistered Earth,
True Death of Life.
Termination (termination)....Expiration (expiration)...Cancellation (cancellation)...Human Race
Expectation (expectation)...Liberation (liberation)...Population (population)...Lay to Waste
See our Mother
Put to death
See our Mother die

Smouldering decay
Take your breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--end!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead....
FIRE
Is the outcome of hypocrisy,
Darkest--poten-CY!
In the exit of hu-ma-ni-ty,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED.

Nice call except it is Metallica not Metalica

Here is a vid when Metallica was the shit. Oakland 1985 with Cliff on base

[Blashyrkh]

Metallica was good, yes. But no match for the mighty:

SLAYER

Evil Has No Boundaries

Blasting our way through the boundaries of Hell
No one can stop us tonight
We take on the world with hatred inside
Mayhem the reason we fight
Surviving the slaughters and killing we've lost
Then we return from the dead
Attacking once more now with twice as much strength
We conquer then move on ahead

[Chorus:]
Evil
My words defy
Evil
Has no disguise
Evil
Will take your soul
Evil
My wrath unfolds

Satan our master in evil mayhem
Guides us with every first step
Our axes are growing with power and fury
Soon there'll be nothingness left
Midnight has come and the leathers strapped on
Evil is at our command
We clash with God's angel and conquer new souls
Consuming all that we can

[Chorus]

Fixed it for you. What were you saying about spelling Metallica incorrectly?

What was I thinking

Classic,i was at that show.

[Blashyrkh]

For cereal? Kick ass man. That's like seeing Hendrix at Woodstock.

And Atomicboy, your penance was more than adequate. Gotta love the classic Slayer widdily widdily solos, young Araya screams and shitty shitty mixing.
Fuck yeah!

SLAYER

I was going to mention Slayer, but they DO make them like they used to.

Excerpt from "New Faith"

I keep the bible in a pool of blood
So that none of its lies can affect me.


Except from "Sex, Murder, Art"

Shackled
My princess
Dangling in distress
Here
To discipline
My sole purpose never ends
Bleeding
On your knees
My satisfaction is what I need
The urge
To take my fist
And violate every oriface

You're nothing
An object of animation
A subjective mannequin
Beaten into submission
Raping again and again



And my personal favorite "213"

Erotic sensations tingle my spine
A dead body lying next to mine
Smooth blue black lips
I start salivating as we kiss
Mine forever this sweet death
I cannot forget your soft breaths
Panting excitedly with my hands around your neck

[Blashyrkh]

Well... I wouldn't go that far. However, they do a better facsimile than anything Metallica has done in years.

New question. Who has kept the flame going?

Slayer has to be in the top 3 or 4. Christ Illusion (2006) is a total old-school Slayer throw back music with contemporary lyrics.

[Blashyrkh]

Throwback to Divine Intervention, yes. Throwback to old-school Slayer, a la Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits and Haunting the Chapel, not so much.

But yeah, they've done a good job keeping it real.
