You're nuts - "Fade to Black" is one of the greatest metal songs ever.
- Today, I enjoy most of their music, but at that time I was very much “in need of speed”, I guess.
On the other hand, I haven't changed that much. Take my relation to the work of Mozart, one of the most gifted composers of all time. I sure can appreciate and admire his adagios, but what really gets me going is his allegro pieces. Believe me, walking around in Vienna listening to music like this is heavenly. After having done so at a particular occasion, I went straight to Salzburg and saluted him (well, the Mozart statue found in one the squares of this wonderful city) cheering “HOCH LEBE!” (meaning more or less “long live” in German) holding a bottle of Austrian beer, Stiegl, in my right hand.
The Call of Ktulu (fabulous guitar work), Creeping Death ( i know this was released in europe on an earlier EP)...that whole album is great. The best guitar work out of any of their albums in my opinion. Master of Puppets wasn’t bad either. It went downhill after that.
I’m more of a Bon Scott fan when it comes to AC/DC. But the early Brian Johnson stuff is good to. I hearken back to the days of Sin City and Aint No Fun Waiting Round to be a Millionaire. AC/DC and Metallica were my favorite bands in the 80s.
