    For the record, the Carnivore track "Race War" is an anti conflict song. The lyrics reflect that if you listen to the whole song, its a great song honestly. Peter Steele was a fan of classic Black American musicians and frequented the House of Blues. And not putting Fear Factory on S or A tier is just ignorant, they literally laid the blueprint that every modern band uses today from the riffing to the clean vs harsh vocals. Big L dude.

    I saw Fear Factory at the Whiskey A Go Go before Demanufacture came out. They played all but one song off Soul of a New Machine. Machine Head opened for them (as well as Clutch). Brujeria made an appearance. It was a great concert. Burton pulled me on stage to yell "Suffer Bastard" during Martyr.
    Then about 8 months later, I saw them again and they played three songs off the yet-unreleased Demanufacture. Usually I don't like when a band plays unreleased stuff live because it's unfamiliar. But I remember how hard Self Biased Resistor hit live having never even heard the song. I recognized it instantly when the album came out 5 months later.
    A couple months before Demanufacture came out, I met Dino at Bionic Records in Fullterton, CA and he gave me a promo copy of the album and signed it. They're a huge part of my youth and early adulthood.

    I think it's worth mentioning, and Finn missed the opportunity, to point out that out of all those racist Brooklyn bands, Biohazard was openly ANTI-racist. They deserve a lot of credit for that, especially back in a time where you could be racist (at least subtly) and get away with it. They drew the opposite line in the sand and made it loud and proudly clear.
    Solid list, great bands, good justifications.
    Fear Factory has had an incredible run, but they've fallen on hard times lately; they probably deserve A tier though, especially with their influence on industrial metal. They were doing things that quite simply no one else in heavy metal was doing at the time, especially death metal (where they started). Bringing on one half of the masterminds behind Delerium to remix their metal albums into something more electronic? Absolutely crazy. I'd bump them up.
    I think Machine Head's peak (including Through the Ashes, the Blackening, and Locust with their first album) is A tier worthy, but man, their bad albums are BAD, and that has to be taken into account. UKJ is A tier in my heart as well, and I think they're better song writers than they were given credit for because of their humor and shtick, but they lacked staying power and impact (maybe this is where you needed a D tier lol). Helmet and Prong are legit C tier, and well justified. White Zombie didn't have the lengthy career necessary to justify a higher ranking (unless you include Rob's solo work), and honestly, they had some duds early on.
    Any critique of RATM ranking S tier would have to be their relatively limited run and discography. Their debut is absolute fire and hugely influential. But more longevity would have been nice. Pantera had some absolute duds to bookend their run, but their core three albums warrant S tier - as well as their influence.
    Super appreciate the love given Type O. Easily the best song writers on the entire list, up there with the best metal song writers of all time. Unlike most of these bands, they also had a long and hugely productive run, and with a much higher average bar for quality songs across their discography (way better, on average, than Pantera or Machine Head). A tier only because their moody goth metal / Drab Four vibe isn't going to appeal to all metal heads, but in terms of quality alone, I think they're absolutely S tier. They do have some problematic early songs, as Finn mentioned, and it's very convenient to try to excuse it all as a joke - but with Type O (like Rammstein), it's very difficult to tell when they were being serious. I suspect there's a bit of truth to those lyrics, and if they're even a little bit true, then it's too much.

      I'm just going to say, been a fan of Type O since '96. Was never a goth person, was first exposed to them by a sampler cd that had 'My Girlfriend's Girlfriend' that was packaged with some magazine in late '96. Became a huge fan and researched them a lot, mainly because i find Pete to be an interesting person, and it's one of those deals where I was curious who the people behind the writing were. Anyways what took so long getting to is that with all the things I've seen, read, heard, basically if it's not clearly about something obvious, mostly themes of love, family, some of the demons they dealt with, don't take it seriously at all. Pete by all accounts was kind, personable and a stand up guy, with a wickedly sharp and dark sense of humor and a serious love of stirring the pot. I don't think there was any real racism there. Just some trolling lyrics for shock value...

      @@ghost_mall The Battle of Los Angeles just sounded so generic by the time it came out. Morello really is a one trick pony, and this album sounds like they are ripping off themselves. There's only so much you can do with the minor pentatonic scale, but Morello beat that horse all the way into Audioslave. Perhaps if it had come out first, it would have been better, but it really was a let down because it was just the same old sound just no where near as good. Here's my ranking:
      RATM: 10/10
      Evil Empire: 8.5/10
      Battle of LA: 6/10
      Renegades: 7/10 (purely because it was different)

I was 20 and got to sit at the bar with Lemmy playing one of those “crack machine” bar games, got coffee with almost all of Coal Camber, told Whitfield Crane I would beat his ass, and some other memorable stuff. We also met Logan because Soul Fly was playing. About a month later, my friends band opened for Soul Fly in our hometown Jacksonville Florida at Milk Bar.

    I found the Dimebag @NAMM unedited video for context. Yup, definitely said the “N” word to a white guy who wanted his old Washburn guitar signed. Dime wanted him to play it for him and he would decide to sign it or not. The white guy played the guitar in question while Dime threw the horns and bobbed his head with encouragement even though the guy was super nervous and wasn’t playing his best I’m sure. when he finished Dime gave the guy a huge hug and signed his guitar
    Yeah, he said the “N” word to a white guy which of course 20 years later is not cool. If Dime were alive today I have to imagine his choice of words would be significantly different as most of us have changed in the last 20 years. We all used to drop the “F” word like it was going out of style in 2007 because, it was going out of style.

    Furthermore, the same guys I know did not have a racist bone in their body, they’re just ignorant.
    I don’t think they need to be overly criticized and have their lives or legacies trashed.
    At the same point, it’s important that we do address it and get it out in the open then get over it.
    I think groveling and deifying another race is absolutely absurd and I’ll have no part in that. That’s weakness and subordination. Head to BLM if that’s your jam.
