Looking at thrash metals 'big four'
With the Thrash metal revival in full swing, lets take alook at Thrash metals 'big four' bands that bought the genre to the forefront just the heyday of 80s thrash.
- Metallica. Releasing debut album 'kill 'em all' in 1983, Metallica were one of the first wave of thrash bands. Thier classic album, 1986's 'Master of puppets' is one of metals much loved albums. After the technicality of 'And justice for all', Metallica were catapulted into rock stardom with the 'black' album, which cause many to level claims of 'sell out' at the band. After 'load' and 're-load', fighting napster and rehab, Metallica came back out with 'St Anger', which the making of was filmed for the movie documentary 'Some kind of monster'. Last year saw the release of 'Death Magnetic', hailed as the 'best' Metallica record in years. A step back in the right direction? We'll see.
- Slayer. Coming from Southern California, Slayer wore they Iron Maiden and Judas Priest influences on thier sleeve for the first two albums 'show no mercy' and 'Hell awaits', before finding their voice with the over 1986 classic 'Reign in blood'. While most metal bands died off in the 90s, Slayer continued doing what they do best -playing Brutallly heavy. 'Seasons in the Abyss', 'Divine Intervention' and 'Diablious in musica' all released during this period, Original drummer Dave Lombardo returned to the fold after 'God hates us all' and played on 'Christ Illusion'. Rumors persist of the next album being the last one- lets hope that isnt the case.
- Megadeth. After being fired from Metallica, Dave Mustaine put all his anger into Meagdeth. They released debut album 'killing is my business and business is good' in 1985, then much loved albums 'peace sells', 'rust in peace' amd countdown to extinction'. Megadeths one constant has alwasy been Mustaine, with a revolving door policy on the other band members. Mustaine called a close to Megadeth in 2002 after being left with nerve damage in one of his arms. But after intensive therapy regained his hand use and re-formed the band in 2004 -and released the albums 'the system has failed' and 'united abominations'.
- Anthrax. Formed in mind 1981 by guitarists Scott Ian and Danny Lilker, Anthrax gave us 'Fistful of metal' in 1984, the only album to feature vocalist Neil Turbin. Anthrax then bought in Joey Belladonna for the next 5 albums -including 'spreading the disease' and 'Among the living'. After Belladonna left John Bush of Armored Saint joined the band. Anthrax were then pushed to the side on their new label until Nuclear Blast picked them up and gave us 'we have come for you all' in 2004. Anthrax later re-united with Joey Belladonna before he left again, bringing in unknown Dan Nelson. Can they survive another vocalist change? The new album will let us know.
This thrash nostalgia made you want to don some converse trainers and retro bags again? Go to these guys.
CUSTOM COMPUTER CASE help me find correct size?
The computer I currently have is:
Acer AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core 8400 2.1GHz Computer (AM1201-E1721A)
I would like to know what size type the motherboard is [ATX etc] so I can buy a bigger case. I will be buying the case from tigerdirect so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have checked the specifications given by Acer but they do not give any information about the type of motherboard. There is a method of determing the type of motherboard which involves placing the computer sideways such that the side with the motherboard is closer to the floor and then looking into its back. If your computer has an ATX motherboard, the expansion slot covers should be on the right. If your computer has a BTX motherboard the expansion slot covers will be on your left. The positions are seen when looking into the back of the computer. Your computer will most likely have an ATX or micro-ATX motherboard. A micro-ATX motherboard will fit into a case for ATX motherboards but not the other way around.
