Truth. I like classic metal so let's be honest, Rhoads-era Ozzy buries rivals underfoot. There is no comparison. Judas Priest was a relative unknown in '80. Honestly, I still don't get it. I like Painkiller, but otherwise it kinda seems like their main contribution is the asthetic. Anyhow, obviously Ozzy.

[@ananominity]

@@CL-uf9xw Judas Priest was at the forefront of the British invasion and that started it all. American bands were quick to imitate them. Their biggest hits were on their early albums - the Hellion/Electric eye, Breaking the Law, Heading Out to the Highway. My band played many of them for years

I mean, you cant tell me that there isnt a stylistic change over the decades. More focus on the base drum, ever harder, faster riffs, screamier, growlier singing, etc. So, if you enjoyed early 80s metal, 2000s metal might not be your cup of tea. Or, in other words, while I enjoy NWoBHM I really dont like Death Metal. Or Nu Metal. Doesnt mean that there arent modern songs I enjoy, but I have to look a bit more. And hope for Maiden to keep bringing it. Styles fall out of fashion, but they dont disappear.

[@emeraldshine9273]

I remember Static-X's announcement of Project Regeneration back in 2018. I was already super excited as a huge fan of the band, but I just got more excited as they played snippets of the new songs. Something Of My Own, in just the short few seconds we heard, became one of my favorite Static-X songs and I couldn't wait for the entire song. I was getting angsty to hear it with constant delays, both with the band finding more scrapped material and legal issues with one of the former guitarists, but after nearly 2 years of waiting, the album dropped and I immediately went to Something Of My Own, and all my expectations were met. Little did I know the entire album was also fantastic, some I can't believe were originally scrapped. May Wayne rest peacefully \m/

I am such an old soul. I was born in 1988; had no issues recognising anything from 1980 up til 1995, then I was only able to recognise about 3 songs after that lol

[@AaronB99999]

Funny, I was born in 1967 and kind of thought Pantera 1994 was it for me. But then came Korn...and Avenged Sevenfold...and Ghost...and Five-Finger Death Punch. I've really enjoyed all of those bands even though my core is Metallica/Megadeth/Maiden/Priest.

Symphony of Destruction was it for me. Night and day after that.

After the mid 90s it all sounds very similar, dark and chug-a-chug-chug. There must be some good stuff out there that isn't overlaid by screaming, right?

[@KyoMinx]

@@ncot_tech metal has had screaming since the 80’s

[@KyoMinx]

@@ncot_tech and lets not ignore how intricate a lot of riffs got. Kreator, sepultura, mastadon, tool, slayer even

[@Industrial3107]

Nice video! Really appreciate including Static-X on the list, sounded even more powerful than original!

[@StreetFighter2010]

1992 is where I left off. I am frozen in time there. ⏰ But much respect to all the metal heads still jamming to new music! 🤘🏽

[@FollowerOfChrist-qb5sj]

Some of the 00s thrash is really good tbh, you should check it out one day if you feel like you wanna hear something new🤘🏾

[@jonlittle1798]

Yeah. I listed blind, but by the time I got to 95, I had to look at the screen. I really dropped off. 2010 onwards, no chance.

[@fyutffdtuibgfetu]

Dude there's a new band on the block called Slayer. You should definitely check em out

[@axxection3353]

Amazing work! And thanks for doing Deliverance. It’s a perfect song from a perfect album. Your playing here overall was absolutely awesome anyways

[@BamsBangers]
