Slayer vs Metallica

I'm not saying that Show no Mercy is a bad album, its not its a good album but unlike Kill'em All there are a lot of sleepers.

In my opinion Kill em All is solid through and through, its generally the marker for the first notable thrash metal album and a fabulous initial release for a band, I can't think of many that started off so good.

In terms of guitar riffs I disagree

Since this was later added to Show No Mercy later, likewise added to KEA later

My problem with Slayer is that they've got the breaknecking speed but often didn't go anywhere with it.

The problem with Metallica is they became soft. They turned into big fat dough boy rock stars that no one can see as threatening or respect. But if you can just narrow the time capsule of Metallica down to the days when a young Hetfield & Burton where at risk of going to jail if for not for playing in a band, accompanied by a group of **** ups and thrown out guitarist who practiced black magic...than Metallica rules!
