## Song lyrics
### Californication (1999)

* A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information.
** " Californication", written by Red Hot Chili Peppers
* Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement.
** "Californication"
* Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication.
** "Californication"

## Quotes about Red Hot Chili Peppers

* Amalgamating elements of funk, rock and rap, The Red Hot Chili Peppers have brewed an unmistakable sound throughout their multi-decade career. [...] To this day the Los Angeles group is revered as one of contemporary rock’s most formidable groups with hits such as “Californication,” “Under the Bridge” and “Give It Away” which offer a glimpse at their one of kind sonic swagger.
** Quentin Thane Singer of Forbes (June 15, 2024)
* Everybody knows RHCP nowadays, but many people seem to forget that they started from funk with Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Freaky Styley, and the all-time classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik being the funk peak in the band’s lifespan.
** Niass of Ultimate-Guitar (Oct 26, 2017)

# Deicide (band)

Deicide is an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida. Formed in 1987 by drummer/composer Steve Asheim and guitarist brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman as "Carnage", then hiring bassist/vocalist/lyricist Glen Benton and becoming "Amon". They changed the band name to Deicide in 1989. The band rose to mainstream success in 1992 with their second album Legion, and is credited as the second-best-selling death metal band of the Soundscan Era, after Cannibal Corpse.

## Song lyrics
### Deicide (1990)

* Book of the dead, pages bound in human flesh Feasting the beast, from the blood the words were said I am unseen, dreamt the sacred passage aloud Trapped in a dream of the Necronomicon
** "Dead by Dawn," Deicide (1990) as quoted by Jon Wiederhorn of Loudwire

### Legion (1992)

* Out of my mind into a world between In search of the ancient artistry Lord Kur, before your sword I see The house of death is opening Hanging from their primal sleep Forbidden to be seen Spirit of the elder gods Are dead but must live on Still to life but yet they breathe Dead but dreaming...
** "Dead But Dreaming," as quoted from the liner notes of Legion (1992)
* Life has no meaning, unyielding obsession Grasping at strings of a life I once knew Death by my own hands, achieving objective Blade to my throat, I calmly greet death In Hell I burn, my faith is sustained In Hell I burn again In Hell I burn, no questions remain In Hell I burn for Satan Opened eyes dream, unheavenly torture Raping the world of the dead Burning in Hell and viewing the unseen Satisfying feasting of flesh [...] Master it's true My promise I have kept Fulfillment of the prophecies The deity is dead
** "In Hell I Burn," as quoted from the liner notes of Legion (1992)
* Burning I bleed, unholy incision Mark of the beast, behold the trifixion
** "Trifixion," as quoted from the liner notes of Legion (1992)

## Quotes about Deicide

* If there is a hell, Deicide are destined to become its permanent house band in a move not dissimilar to Celine Dion's long-standing gig at Caesar's Palace.
** Owen Thomson of The Sydney Morning Herald (December 1, 2006)
* Though few would accuse Deicide of having pop sensibilities, there was something fun and catchy about them. This is in part thanks to Glen Benton's vocals; individual words are barked out, retaining the evil vibe, and the staccato delivery builds tension before breaking it back down with chaotic guitar solos.
** Music journalist T Coles in the book Death Metal
* Deicide’s riffs are monstrously listenable for something so blasphemously eardrum-grinding, and the straight-from-hell vocals are entertaining for the seasoned listener but will still scare the shit out of your neighbors — and that’s why we all love death metal to begin with, right?
* Deicide are one of the bands that made it easier for me to understand what death metal is. As weird as it may sound, some of their songs are really accessible, with catchy choruses.
** Fernanda Lira of Crypta
* This is music Lucifer would love.
** Alex Distefano of OC Weekly (October 1, 2015)

# Dimebag Darrell

Darrell Lance Abbott (August 20, 1966 – December 8, 2004), best known by his stage name Dimebag Darrell, was an American musician. He was the guitarist of the heavy metal bands Pantera and Damageplan, both of which he co-founded alongside his brother Vinnie Paul. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time.

## Quotes about Darrell

* Wielding some of the tightest rhythm playing along with some the most otherworldly lead playing that has ever graced heavy music, Pantera guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott is undoubtedly one of the most talented and influential heavy metal guitarists. [...] Dimebag brought a new level to heavy songwriting and shreddy guitar playing throughout the ‘90s and early 2000s. Infusing his love for blues, KISS, Van Halen and Slayer [his music] helped to pioneer the drop-tuned groovey guitar style that the vast majority of modern metal scene has sworn by.
** Quentin Thane Singer of Forbes
* No one deserves to die the way that Dimebag died. It all occurred on that fateful night in Columbus, Ohio at the Alrosa Villa club on December 8, 2004. Darrell was onstage playing with his band at the time, Damageplan, when a murderous, psychopathic ex Marine jumped on stage and the gunfire erupted. The motive for the rampage was resentment over the breakup of the great, Pantera. Darrel was shot close range and killed, but there were other victims that night, including 23-year-old fan Nathan Bray, Damageplan crew member Jeff “Mayhem” Thompson, 40, and club employee Erin A. Halk, 29. Dimebag’s brother, and Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul was also shot and injured in the horrific events. The terrifying ordeal ended when SWAT team officers stormed the club, and killed the shooter after a standoff. This brutal, and very graphic scene can be seen on VH1’s series Behind The Music. Of course, the shooter’s death failed to bring any solace to Dimebag’s family friends and legions of fans. Many mourn his loss to this day, including so many other of his peers and colleagues in heavy metal and hard rock. This was such a senseless death, and December 8, 2004 was truly one of the darkest days in metal’s history.

# Death (metal band)

Death were an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida.

## Quotes about Death

* Throughout their career, Death proved that there’s more to extreme music than just provocative, gruesome lyrics and blistering fast instrumentals. Lead songwriter Chuck Schuldiner was simply a master of metal songwriting both from an instrumental and lyrical standpoint. [...] The vast majority of Death’s discography is timeless and exudes a prowess of extreme metal songwriting unlike any other band.
** Quentin Thane Singer of Forbes
* Death is not a limited band where I want the same, simple beat through everything. I’m inspired by a lot of bands that aren’t death metal. I’ve got influences that come from different types of music, different types of metal. To say being technical isn’t allowed in this type of band, I just think that’s a narrow-minded statement. It’s coming from someone who doesn’t understand my direction. They don’t have to like it. But if you really wanna get into the reasoning of it, Death isn’t a band that I want to limit.
** Chuck Schuldiner of Death
* By the late ’80s/early ’90s the primitive, zombie, blood and gore obsessed death metal had evolved to a more progressive style with lyrics delving into the dark side of human nature and suffering. Every one of Death’s albums has a distinct sound, and there were many line up changes over the years. Death’s legacy is heard in many extreme metal bands, and the impact his guitar playing had on the scene and music cannot be overstated. Death is a band that influenced all extreme metal genres, from thrash, and black metal to grind core and prog/djent.
** Alex Distefano of OC Weekly (May 11, 2017)
* "Flesh and the Power it Holds" was one of the first tracks I discovered of Death and actually the first song I was able to play on guitar. Pretty good choice, great songwriting and fantastic riffs that itches under your skin. While the whole last album is a classic, the earlier material such as Human got me and since the first listen I have been a fan. "Flesh and the Power it Holds" is a pretty long song, but it never gets boring; it keeps you listening from the first to the last note. Still one of my all time favorites.
** Steffen Kummerer of Obscura
* I can’t believe this band has lasted so long. Maybe the reason we’ve been going for so long is that I still haven’t made the ultimate record. But I’m proud of everything we’ve done along the way. Will we ever get there? I dunno. I doubt that I shall ever be completely happy.
** Chuck Schuldiner of Death
* I always thought that the name of the band derived from the death of [Chuck's brother Frank]. And while the word had such painful memories, I did not object.
** Jane Schuldiner, mother of Chuck Schuldiner

# Adrian Smith (musician)

Adrian Frederick Smith (born 27 February 1957) is an English guitarist and singer best known as a member of heavy metal band Iron Maiden, for whom he also writes songs and performs backing vocals both live and in the studio.

## Quotes about Adrian Smith

* When it comes to the driving lead force amid the longtime triple-guitar assault within [Iron Maiden], Smith is the king above kings. Complete with his usual headband, Smith is a groover — meaning his playing has a undeniably blues feel to it. While it's never really been about speed with Smith, when it comes to legendary solo work ("Heaven Can Wait", "Powerslave), he continues to bring it at a level that others only wish they could pull off.
** Jeff Mezydlo of Yardbarker (February 2025)
* Adrian Smith incorporates all the classic metal guitar player's techniques: alternate picking, legato, hammer-ons, and pull-offs, sweep picking, slide playing and more. What separates him from the rest of the pack is that he uses all of these techniques in a musical context with no exaggeration. He is heavily influenced by blues, so he uses the pentatonic scale a lot, but he also enjoys ripping a fast phrase in a Phyrigian mode from time to time.
** UG Team, Ultimate-Guitar (Sep 30, 2017)
* [Murray and Adrian Smith] are the OG’s of the twin axe attack (and thus to blame for inadvertently causing melodic death metal).
** Invisible Oranges (April 21, 2011)
# Sepultura

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in Belo Horizonte in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera. They were a major force in the groove metal, thrash metal, and death metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Sepultura is also considered part of the second wave of thrash metal acts from the late 1980s to early-to-mid-1990s.

## Quotes about Sepultura

* Heavily influenced by earlier thrash bands as well, particularly Slayer, Sepultura have constantly straddled the line between straightforward thrash and helping innovate the modern incarnation of death metal. Their Brazilian origin is also apparent in their occasional use of Latin and samba beats, as well as the musical traditions of Brazil's indigenous people such as the Xavante tribe from Brazil's state of Mato Grosso, who actually participated in the recording of 1996's album Roots.
** Zahra Huselid of Screen Rant (Jan 13, 2025)
* Sepultura helped put South America on the heavy metal radar as thrash was still in its infancy. The band’s first two records toe the line between thrash and black metal, but they came into their own on the genre-defining ‘Beneath the Remains.’
# Van Halen

Van Halen was an American rock band formed in Pasadena, California, in 1973. Credited with restoring hard rock to the forefront of the music scene, Van Halen was known for their energetic live performances and the virtuosity of their guitarist, Eddie Van Halen. From 1974 to 1985, Van Halen consisted of Eddie Van Halen, his brother, drummer Alex Van Halen, lead vocalist David Lee Roth, and bassist Michael Anthony. In 1985, Roth left the band to embark on a solo career and was replaced by former Montrose lead vocalist Sammy Hagar.

## Quotes

* We’re playing the 80s. Other bands are still playing the 70s.
** David Lee Roth of Van Halen

## Quotes about Van Halen

* The date on the sleeve says 1978, but a cursory listen to Van Halen’s debut tells you that it is, by some distance, the greatest guitar album of the 1980s. [...] Listening to it is a joyful experience, and that love of music gave meaning to every note they played.
** Jenna Scaramanga of Guitar World (August 19, 2024)
* Van Halen didn’t have much in common with The Clash or the Sex Pistols, but the Californians’ brand of ‘Atomic Punk’ had the same urgency as the London punks.
** Jenna Scaramanga of Guitar World (August 19, 2024)
# Venom (band)

Venom (band) are an English heavy metal band formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1978. Coming to prominence towards the end of the new wave of British heavy metal, Venom's first two albums, Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black Metal (1982), are considered major influences on black metal, thrash metal and extreme metal in general. Their second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of the black metal genre; as a result, Venom were part of the early wave of the genre, along with Mercyful Fate and Bathory.

## Quotes about Venom

* We had no idea what we were doing was going to become such a big thing. So many bands were in the studio at the same time as us. How the hell could I have presumed that it would be my band who would be the lasting name? We weren’t trying to be the next Iron Maiden or the next this or that. We just wanted to do what we enjoyed. You had a band like [fellow Geordie NWOBHM outfit] Tygers Of Pan Tang always dropping Purple references; you know, ‘We want to be the next Deep Purple.’ Well, Venom never did that. We never said that. We said, ‘We are now, we are new, we are Venom.
** Conrad Lant of Venom
* When Geordie trio Venom coined the term black metal for the title of their 1982 second album, it was a way of marking themselves out as one louder than the rest of the rising wave of metal bands going faster, harder and noisier. With more volume than Motörhead, more speed than Priest, and more diabolic imagery than Black Sabbath visiting a Hammer Horror set, they’d already set up business to the horned one with their 1981 debut Welcome To Hell.
** Nick Ruskell of Kerrang!
* Very few metal bands can claim to be as influential as the power trio Venom. Taking the rumble and speed of Motorhead and warping into something more sinister altogether, the band’s Satanic themes and wild image were uninhibited savagery. ‘Welcome to Hell’ changed the metal landscape forever in 1981, followed by ‘Black Metal’ and ‘At War With Satan.’ Giving rise to what became the first wave of black metal, Venom’s impact helped usher in extreme metal, proving attitude could supersede technical abilities if done properly.
# Morbid Angel

Morbid Angel is an American death metal band formed in 1983 out of the Florida death metal scene.

## Quotes

* This album is dedicated to the underground and all speed, death, and black metal fans everywhere.
** From the liner notes of the deluxe edition of Altars of Madness

## Song lyrics

* Come to me, lord of filth Hear my cries, princes of nightmares Touch us with your morbid lips Let us taste your foulness.
** "Bleed For the Devil," Altars of Madness (1989) as quoted by David Browne of Entertainment Weekly

## Quotes about Morbid Angel

* [...] Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness changed everything [about the Swedish scene]. Before that there was no clear distinction between death, speed, or thrash among regular metalheads. It was just brutal metal. But Altars of Madness opened people's eyes, and made us realize something new was going on. Everybody bought that record. Everybody. And thrash was executed by it – the whole genre just disappeared.
** Robban Becirovic of Close-Up Magazine, Ekeroth, Daniel (January 1, 2008). Swedish Death Metal. Bazillion Points Books. p. 140. ISBN 9780979616310.
* Few albums struck a chord within the ears and minds of the late-'80s underground metal scene like Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness did at the end of the decade, setting a new precedent for metal bands to reach.
** Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic
* I remember walking backstage in the early days and seeing the guys from Morbid Angel sitting around a chalice, cutting themselves and bleeding into the cup. I thought, That's fuckin' nuts. We played crazy music, but we didn't roll like that.
** Kelly Shaefer of Atheist
* For anyone who looks beyond the band’s Satanic image and bloodletting rituals, Morbid Angel were death metal masters. Their debut album, 1989’s Altars of Madness, raised the bar from a musician’s perspective and gave others in the scene a motivational punch in the teeth.
** Jon Wiederhorn of Loudwire
* Death had beaten Morbid Angel to the honor of releasing the first unadulterated death metal album, but Morbid Angel took the blueprint and built the damn house. The seminal ‘Altars of Madness’ came in 1989, marrying Trey Azagthoth’s jagged, earth-heaving riffs with Pete Sandoval’s unmatched double kicks and unhinged blast beats.
# Exodus (band)

Exodus is an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in Richmond, California. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Gary Holt and Lee Altus, bassist Jack Gibson, drummer Tom Hunting, and lead vocalist Rob Dukes. Exodus is also notable for featuring a then-unknown Kirk Hammett, who was the band's lead guitarist from its inception until his departure in 1983, when he left to join fellow Bay Area thrash metal band Metallica as Dave Mustaine's replacement. Holt (who replaced original guitarist Tim Agnello in 1981) is the most consistent member throughout various lineup changes and breakups, and is the only member to appear on all of Exodus' recordings. Much of the band's career has also been affected by feuds between both band members and record companies, two extended hiatuses, deaths of former band members, and drug addictions.

## Quotes about Exodus

* Multiple journalists, as well as members of thrash bands both among and outside the Big Four, often maintain that Exodus should be named as one of the Big Five; Dave Mustaine even suggested back in 1990 that Exodus, not Anthrax, should be in that elite club.
** Zahra Huselid of Screen Rant
* Exodus, arguably the most musically violent band in the Bay Area thrash movement, were also the most vocal in their hatred of fishnet-wearing glam-rockers, often calling for their fans to “Kill the poseurs”, wherever they may be found.
** Ken McIntyre of Metal Hammer (September 20, 2022)
* During the emergence of the Bay Area thrash scene in California, Exodus were unanimously regarded as the top band by both fans and their contemporaries. Gary Holt is arguably the best pure thrash guitarist in the biz, contributing fret-defying solos across the ever-changing swing of the right hand that kept Exodus busier than most bands. From the visceral debut of ‘Bonded by Blood’ to other standouts like ‘Fabulous Disaster’ and ‘Tempo of the Damned,’ Exodus are still thrash royalty over three decades later.
