311. ... quite the opposite in fact some times: people will complain that a song 'could be more epic' by which they mean, it could be longer in duration!
312. The bygone time when bands didn't narrowly define their type of metal and thus had their speed metal hell track, their epic metal hymn, their weird no-wave-metal, their good-time rock n' roll party song (okay, these usually sucked) all on the same record. Ah, innocence!
313. That while Rush were typecasted as some sort of 'fantasy heavy metal' band in the 70's reserved for awkward highschool nerd kids, these kids grew up, got into Heavy Metal proper and filtered the Rush influence through thrash to single-handedly create technothrash and progressive metal circa 1987!
314. High notes! 'Astral Rider' or 'Fata Morgana' or whatever else! Let all others consider them epitomes of metal excess, the blood boils for these moments!
315. Carnivore.

DaN, if there's gonna be a 'zine and you're gonna be the "editor", then I guess you should apply your chriteria to the list (maybe you can put together an "editorial team"). I don't think everything and anything posted here should be in the final list, there's gotta be some sort of selection. Also, perhaps we should start another thread to discuss this and only use this to post the list so is easier to follow the count.

323. This quote from John Peel:
"Extreme Noise Terror were amazing. So were their fans. Any track more than 20 seconds long was greeted with derisive cries of 'too long, too slow' or 'fucking prog-rockers' from the faithful, most of whom looked as though they had but recently risen from shallow graves alongside the A12, the arterial road that runs from London to Ipswich. The only disappointment for Sheila, William and me was that the band weren't loud enough. We wanted to leave the show with blood trickling from our ears. "
