Destruction Frontman Says Metallica Is Too Rich to Be Angry About Anything, Talks Why US Thrash Is More Popular Than German
During a conversation with Rauta, Destruction singer/bassist Schmier talked about thrash metal, touching on Metallica and the subject of US vs. German thrash.
Destruction is commonly considered as one of the Big Teutonic Four, alongside Kreator, Sodom, and Tankard. They released their 15th studio album "Born to Perish" this August.
Asked why he thinks American thrash bands like Metallica and Slayer achieved greater success than German bands such as Destruction and Kreator, the musician replied (via Blabbermouth):
"You have to understand the Americans are sellers - they know how to sell themselves when it comes to image; when it comes to catchy songs. I mean, look at Metallica - they started to write catchy songs, and then they became famous... They still fill stadiums.
"And Slayer, of course, they had their 'cult' status at one point, and then they were up on this [level] that is kind of untouchable, basically. I think the American bands - if you look at the age, they are all a little older than us.
"We were the little kids when the American bands were, like, two years older than us, three years older. So, they were all technically also the better players at that time, because we were just 17 and they were already 21. So, I think that is one of the reasons why American metal was more famous.
"The big wave came from America; the big labels were from America. The productions were flawless at the time. The first Metallica albums still sound great. Even the guy was a Danish guy who produced them [Flemming Rasmussen].
"They did a lot of things right. And I think that made the American bands, of course, a little bit ahead of the time, ahead of the schedule. And that's why they're so legendary nowadays."
Talking about trying to keep Destruction relevant when writing new songs, Schmier said:
"I was an angry young man; now I'm an angry old man. Not much has changed in that [respect]. Look at Metallica, as an example, and I don't wanna piss off any Metallica fans, but look at the fact that once you're a billionaire, what should you be pissed off about? That your butler burned your egg, maybe.
So, I think to not lose the street credibility, you can't be, like, super-rich. In general, in heavy metal - I think there's a few exceptions - but if bands get too big, too famous, it usually waters down the sound.
"So heavy metal has to do something with anger - and thrash metal especially. When you keep yourself angry, you can write that kind of music. And when you go shopping with Gucci bags all the time, I don't think the anger is still there."

30 anos tocando o mais puro Thrash Metal sem se vender e aguentando a bebida.
30 anos enganando fãs, não tira foto, psicólogos no set e reabilitação.

Só de você achar a fase antiga melhor que a atual já está concordando com o Schmier.
Destruction hoje é uma banda mil vezes melhor que nos anos 80. O mesmo não pode ser dito do Metallica. |

Quem disse que acho a antiga melhor que a atual?
E não tem nem o que tentar argumentar, bicho. Depoimento ridículo e fim. |
