Ihsahn has more talent in one finger than Slayer ever had, so Ihsahn.

I am getting a Wildhoney vs. Focus vibe from this thread.

It's a pretty practical question. Not comparing what album is better or even what band is better.

Have you seen either one live already? Slayer is awesome live, and I'm sure Ihsahn will put on a good show. I guess I'd just see what kind of mood you are in that day.

Just responding to a typically abrupt response from DW in kind.

I'm not a big Slayer fan anymore but they may be worth going to see in the Wacken environment. Ihsahn's music would be more suited for a small club than an open air festival.

So, if I've got this right, our tough decisions on what shows to go see can now be resolved by following a simple test.

The "Zad's latest album score" test:

90-100: Zad says, "Go see at any cost."

80-89: Zad says, "If you've got the money and the time you best get there."

60-79: Zad says, "If you happen to like the style of the band and have some time to kill then it could be a fun night out."

40-59: Zad says, "Fred Durst really isn't that bad compared to Jonathon Davis. So, what the hell, go jump da fuck up."

0-39: Zad says, "Korn is coming to town. GTFO."

Better than just going SLAAAYEEER!!!111111

you'd actualy have to go out and see bands perform live to be able to admit anything

scary idea though, I know
