LISTEN DUDE, I'M NEW TO THE SITE. AND THIS IS THE FIRST THING I RESPONDED TO. HOW CAN YOU EVEN ASK THAT QUESTION???
I AM A HEAVY PLAYER(SHREAD AS YOU CALL IT) AND I GREW UP LISTENING TO SABBATH, ZEPPLIN,AEROSMITH,ALOT OF 60'S ROCK AND SO ON AND SO FORTH!! AND I PLAY HEAVY! BUT WITH ME BEING INFLUENCED BY THEM... THEY WERE GROWING UP WITH THE LIKES OF B.B. KING, CHUBBY CHECKER, CHUCK "YOU CAN SMELL MY FARTS" BERRY, BUDDY HOLLY,AND ON AND ON CAN I GO!

WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THAT WITH OUT BLUES AND 'I FOUND MY THRILLS, ON BLUEBERRY HILL', THEN THERE WOULD BE NO "SHREAD" AND 'SEASONS IN THE ABYSS' (SLAYER). BECAUSE EVERYTHING CAME FROM BLUES... EXCEPT 'WHITE ZOMBIE'.
