I second Eric's comments. I saw Slayer with Pantera almost a decade ago at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island and they totally kicked ass. Nice to meet you...

I saw Slayer almost a decade ago as well. It was July 29th, 2000 at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. They headlined for the "Tattoo the Earth Tour". Other notable metal bands at that show: Sepultura, Hed P.E., Hatebreed, Downset, Nothingface, Slipknot, Sevendust, Six Feet Under, etc.

Apologies for the slight hijack of this thread, but yep that's me. My first tour was in the lead singer's camaro. Not as comfortable as the charter jet I used with my current band on our last Australian tour, but it was still lots of fun.

For all the Deadheads who are sick of the metal posts, for me it's been a long strange trip...

I suggest that anymore Doug / Slayer talk move to email doug.goodman@earthlink.net

Back to baseball...

Two of my all time favorite hard core punk bands were Discharge (British) and Black Flag (American). When a member of the British band was asked why they picked Discharge as band's name, he said "Because it was obnoxious" .... When the leader of Black Flag was asked why they picked that name, he said it was because of the simultaneous associations with anarchy and bug spray ... There's a bit of beauty in those answers.

Another great hardcore band was named Minor Threat, and that name was just being being playful. They'd play their supersonic explosions of sound with the implicit or explicit knowledge, "Don't be unduly scared of us. We're just a Minor Threat." In fact one of their songs was "We're just a Minor Threat."

I'm sure the bands themselves see the ludicrousness and comedy in their names as well as anyone else.

I was always partial to L.A. punk bands. X is by far my favorite. Black Flag, The Germs, Social Distortion, etc. were all good. A bit up the road, the Dead Kennedys did not suck.

Minor Threat was a great DC punk band, but my favorite was Bad Brains
