@@Dannyboy5506 I'm glad you can enjoy it. My pet peeve is this: It is called thrash and it is thrash. In the most literal sense of the word. And that's okay. BUT at that time the trash scene condemned every other stream in music. And they did this because they knew their music was not good. It is garbage. The music should speak for itself without repudiation.
