Dismissing Slayer is completely unacceptable.
At first, I was a bit taken back by Tom dismissing Slayer
ooo Slayer Nerds!
I'm a metal fan. I'm not too nerdy about it with most bands except Turbonegro (are they metal?) who I like more for the gimmicky comedy element more than anything. I do like some Slayer though. I was wondering what Tom though the few exceptions were but I'd like to think that Mastodon, Tool, Clutch, High On Fire, Baroness, Isis, Neurosis, Melvins, C Average, The Sword all fall on the more sophisticated side of the metal genre. For the record though my metal interests take up about 5% of the my musical tastes.
