I can't believe I listed Bay Area bands like Lethal Creed but forgot Exodus!?
Yeah, my very first heavy album (Not Van Halen, AC/Dc etc) was Maidens Killers album..Steve made me think Bass Players were cool. Geddy was great and so was Entwistle but Steve Harris was a BadA$$!
Then Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Overkill at the same time Misfits, Black Flag DK, CoC started getting play. The big four really helped to get Metal Heads into punk and Slayer started getting punks at the shows
Jerry Cantrell was a great guitarist, I haven't heard the new "Alice" Soungarden was also cool.
