This would have been recipe for being called a poseur, back in the day.

So i'm apparently feeling so deprived of 1980s metal bands that i'm... "acquiring" two very different bands right now: Dokken, who was always way too glam-pop for me, and Slayer's early albums, which i always felt were too death-metalish. We'll see how i like them, but i'm sure it's sad proof that i'm getting old. Instead of exploring new modern bands i'm just doubling-down on my middle school era tastes.

Also, download speed for Slayer, and i swear i'm not making this up: 666 kB/s.
