Here is a picture of me from this past summer when myself and some friends went herping/hiking down in the Red River Gorge in KY....my friend in the pic is a very docile Cowsucker (or Black Ratsnake to you non-KY folk)....

 

[BLS Blondi]

Slayer is the BEST live band on the planet. Period.

Thanks for the insight...

Gesticulator... <snip>When he pulled forward he looked back and saw me with (of course) a tire track on my forehead and my finger cut off.

OUCH edesign, you were lucky it was only a finger!

what criteria and logic did you apply to arrive at this very bold statement?

Very nice! :clap:

Ohhhhh I want summer back...

 

[Beardo]

You and me both Sheri! Winter sucks lol.

...and here we go.......

i would surmise that being the premiere speed metal pioneers from the early early 80's, still going strong (some may argue this...) over 20 years later, known for their crushing music, wild concerts, crazy mosh pits, fanatical fans, etc. etc...that could have a little to do with it. I don't think anyone who is in to metal will argue that point with you very much.

Now we can sit here and argue til we're blue in the face and become mentally retarded from lack of oxygen...we all know there is no such thing as "best". But within their genre and probably across quite a few others, I doubt many would stand close to the pure energy and chaos from one of their shows. Sure...Rush has done some very good concerts, The Who, Garth Brooks, Metallica, Yes, and so on and so forth. But not quite on par with what Slayer concerts are supposed to be like. BUT...there are even more extreme bands out there with even more extreme crowds/pits, but their popularity is nowhere near the level that Slayer attained and has managed to keep for over two decades.

You do not go to a Tom Petty concert to get an adrenaline rush, to enjoy reacting in a fairly extremely physical way to the music, to cause general mayhem...i'm not saying his concerts are not good (never been, but i do like his music), but I highly doubt the energy level is near what it is at a Slayer concert. Then again...after a few doobies I wouldn't be worried about moving or doing much of anything at all but sitting back and listening to the music either lol. Sweet...

So...do we really want to get in to this debate? I know where this is going...

btw...were you going to argue that The Beefhearts have better concerts?

me...i love winter, when there is plenty of snow and mountains around anyway

Alright, so I am officially a WBTC whore... promise I won't post anymore pics for awhile. But I felt semi-cute at the wedding last night so I will share these last 1. :8o

I was so dumbfounded by the picture, after 2 days I finally figured out what WBTC meant.

You're right about that. You go to listen to him in an arena full of smoke....the fun kind

Well I have not posted a great deal, but I do check in & read quite often.
I spend my spare time Rockhounding, cutting cabochon gemstones, making jewelry, & shooting.

When rockhounding in the desert I come in contact with scorpions from time to time & have always been facinated by them. Thanks to this site I have learned a great deal about them & have now started yet another collection.

So here's a couple pics of me.

Although this site does seem to have a very diverse membership, It looks like I'm it's first kilted bug lover.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

If I'm not mistaken, "Keef" posted a picture of himself in a kilt about a year or so ago.

DAMN GIRL!
Semi-cute? Boy is than an understatement!

I agree...you should no longer post in here...send them all to my e-mail...maybe you could send me understated ones where you think you are "semi-sexy"

That's an awful long response to a simple question. My point is that this is all totally subjective......a matter of personal opinion.........one guy's chicken is another guy's beef etc etc. I'll refrain from going any deeper since we're way OT for this particular thread. I will admit to having most of Slayer's releases.

Oh, and in response to your last point, YEAH, every time hands down....but that's my opinion ;-)

Me working on my car...

lol...let me know if that works...my WRX is acting up!

Well I must have missed that one. I stand corrected.

It's nice to run into another member of the Comfort Clan.
