: I would have rather seen an "Icon" type show where Metallica's contemporaries paid homeage. Hmmm...Slayer on MTV prime time- it'll never happen.....
Slayer? Nah, Metallica sell a shitload of records, Slayer does not. Nothing against Slayer, I still break out Reign In Blood on occasion, but I wouldn't consider them to be Metallica's contemporaries, not anymore at least.
I get ya though, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament. It would've been cool to see them guys up there, but sadly, it aint 1987 anymore.
