Modern Metal Music Discussion

[TexasSP]

Primus has to be put in an eclectic little genre really all it's own, kind of like Les himself. The discussions between Metallica and Les about his original try outs with them after Jason died sums it up well. I love Primus, it's nice to have really talented musicians that don't fit any mold.

I also must put up that even to this day Ozzy is one of the best lyricists and vocalists ever. The poor guy can't speak worth a turd but when he sings it's just amazing. His lyrics always continue to be awesome and one of my favorite non-Sabbath songs is "I Just Want You".

What's funny is Ministry used to be my favorite band, but after Psalm 69 they have never put out anything else truly different or innovative. Of course Al Jourgensen being unable to stay off heroin has never helped. Al's biggest problem is he is continually running from a demon he can't seem to kick. But better than Psalm 69 was The Land of Rape and Honey and then The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. I also think Al losing Paul Barker was a major hit as well.
