Good deal.

Tho' I love some of the early/mid-80s metal (Venom, Celtic Frost), it never seemed as hard or important as, say, COC, Void, Die Kreuzen, or Negative Approach...metal was more of an escapist thing. That said, I do regret never buying the Slayer LPs...I might like 'em more now. If they had not had so much jack off soloing, too...that woulda helped, natch.
