Good point. Don't forget that Slayer is really speed-metal.

Hey, really, if Metallica and Slayer aren't speed metal, who is? Is there music out there faster than "Battery" and "Fight Fire with Fire?" You people have GTA: Vice City, right? Is "Raining Blood" really death and not speed metal? Just because they sing about the Devil doesn't make them Death Metal. That's closer to Black Metal and all those Norweigan bands.

By the way, what really is punk rock? smile..just kidding...
