Off: 101 adjectives

[Joseph Brooks]

Bro, I didn't compare them to Metallica as a compliment. I find everything
they did up to the black album unlistenable. As I said, I can't really
comment on Motorhead because I am basing my opinions on the two songs (or
so) that I've heard which were enough to keep me from listening further.
Perhaps I was just unlucky and heard two of their sucky songs.

Ya gotta understand, I am not only very picky and opinionated, but I tend to
make snap decisions when it comes to my likes and dislikes and sometimes
even I don't have much of a clue why I like or dislike something.

                     Dude (if you'll pardon the expression) the first
Metallica
                album is pretty weak IMO barring the bass solo.  Even _March
or
                Die_ and _Iron Fist_ (possibly Motorhead's two weakest
albums)
                beat it :)

                     It's been said before: Motorhead is basically Chuck
Berry
                with nine times the wattage.  Except with deeper lyrics :)

                Cheers,
                Carl
