Kill 'Em All is 30

I dont see how Kill 'Em All can be 30. It was only a couple years old when I discovered Metallica. Must be some mistake.

Metal up your ass.

Metal Militia still rules. It's a Thrash classic.

I miss Cliff Burton.

I heard Francis Bean just started pre-school.

Totally.

I won't mention that Iron Maiden is a 38 year old band because... berkeley, is that depressing.

And Rush is even older. Not sure which fact is more depressing.

I would love to hear the EP Metallica did when Mustaine was still a member.

I can. Things get more awesome with age. It's way too good an album to be new.

Want me to bring a copy? I think I still have it here somewhere.

(Spoiler: It wasn't all that great production-wise)

Heck, I have a CD with a bunch of stuff when Ron McGovney was bassist.

I saw Rush in the mid seventies and they were already big

Grr.... want these shoes. But can't because there is a kind of cultural divide between Converse and Vans people and I'm a Converse person.

Heard on the radio today that Back in Black is also 30 today...pretty good day for rock-n-roll!

I suddenly feel the need to go for a motorcycle ride.

Sorry to burst your bubble

In reply to Knurled:

How about just being a guy that buys shoes he likes?

If a gang of Converse wearing people and a gang of Vans wearing people meet in the street is there some sort of hipster/punk/skater version of West Side Story?

In reply to Knurled: And here I thought it was because of the price.

Insane; I had an 8track that we listened to over and over in my 78 LeBaron. I even taped it onto a tape later for added high quality, lol.

Correction, Back in Black was released in the US on July 25, 1980. Guess I was busy paying attention to driving...Still it is a classic album. Think I'll have to cue them both up tonight!

i've heard it... it's pretty much what you'd expect of 4 drunk and broke 19 year olds on crappy equipment..

The late 70's guys in their dad's old army shirts and Levi's beat the E36 M3 out of them and take their bikes to a soundtrack featuring the BronY-Aur Stomp.

We didn't berkeley around back then. We had switchblade combs and boomboxes the size of a Magnavox console TV. Our hair was fabulous.

Have no fear, one of the guys still knows what metal should sound like: http://youtu.be/DCI7rRT93wE

one of my favorite albums. it will see some time on my road trip tonight along with some other early Metallica.

There is a really cool 3 part series on YouTube about the early years of Iron Maiden up to Seventh Son. Interviews with the band members and just about every guitarist and singer Stever Harris played with from day-one of starting his own band.
