That is awesome Souza fucking sucks and makes Exodus unlistenable for me sounds like a Gargoyle pinching a loaf. I don't mind Dukes at all, he not great but better that Souza for sure. imho
I actually prefer the more exploratory Whitechapel with The Valley and Kin was nice to see them step out of their box and they wrote some great music but they said they wanted to get back to roots on this one which I am fine with I do like the OG stuff as well was just nice to get a bit of a switch up for two albums.
He's an acquired taste. I don't like when he goes too far into the cartoony voice, but he also gave us "Tempo of The Damned" and I think he's fantastic on that album, and some of the older albums. Really, I think he is GREAT live, and a super nice dude in person. So are his kids from Hatriot.
Some peeps say that Exodus should be in the Big 4 over Anthrax but the vocals take them out of it for me regardless of who it is singing the vocals have always been the weak link in that band. I would put Testament in they have way better vocals and just a more diverse band overall.
First of all, I absolutely hate this "Big 4" concept in general. What other genre does this shit? But the reality is Exodus started the Bay Area scene before Metallica, Slayer, any of those guys came up to play here and it was that scene that really got the genre going, so you have to give Exodus their flowers.
Well, along with Tom Hunting who's still in Exodus. Not sure what point your making though. I couldn't be more glad that Kirk left Exodus as that gave us the combo of Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt (The H-Team), and of course gave us those first few good Metallica albums before that band went to shit. Kirk can't even do his own solos these days. Either way, that gives Exodus more clout in the formation of Thrash Metal. Also resulted in the creation of Megadeth. They are intertwined in everything.and who started Exodus???
that's right
You don't get my point but just reiterated it. Lol anyway I didn't know that bringing up the Big 4 was gonna get you all up in your feelings.
If that was your point then we agree and their is no argument. I'm legit not getting upset about anything, just conversing. I like talking about the history of Thrash Metal.
Just a clear difference of opinions is all. imho fair play.
