This from a boy who doesn't even know what the word "scene" means. It's not you and your friends, it's about the whole world. You might have your little "scene" in your house, but it doesn't mean Subhuman Race made any kind of impact on anything.

Having commercial success is completly different from having an impact on a scene.
No, it isn't. You can't have an impact on anything if no one buys your album. No band in the world will say they started to play because of Skid Row's Subhuman Race. Unless the band is made up of your friends.

I am actually sure SLAYER's SEASONS IN THE ABSYSS sold less than SUBHUMAN RACE.
Well, once again, you're actually wrong. All Slayer albums are certified gold in America, Subhuman Race isn't.

Quote:
Still it's considered a MILESTONE in Thrash's history.
That's because it was. It was different and it sold well for a trash album. It had an impact. Subhuman Race was a sad attempt to be heavy and it sold jack shit.

Quote:
Again SLAYER's DIABOLUS IN MUSICA was even heavier and made Slayer lose half of their fans. But it was innovative and even if it sold considerably less than the previous Slayer albums it had a huge impact on THRASH/DEATH/HARDCORE albums that followed.
Once again you're wrong. It sold considerably more than Subhuman Race. And yes, DIM had an impact, Subhuman Race didn't.

Are you starting to see the pattern here?

Only the fact that you brought money into this discussion is brainless.
Sorry, but you're the one who's brainless. Why don't you stop and think outside your ass for a second. You might actually learn something.

I mean...if 40 thrash metal bands say one of my fave albums is SUBHUMAN RACE by SKID ROW then it definetly had an impact on the scene no matter how much "money it earned".
No, it only means that the 40 bands you and your friends started have never heard proper metal records.

Once again, Subhuman Race only had an impact on Skid Rows career. They broke up. That's all the impact that record had. I'm sorry if you feel it's the best trash album ever made, because it's total and utter crap. I understand that you might think it's something special, after all, it was one of the first albums you probably got to buy, once you were old enough and western music was allowed there, but it's still crap.

Same with SITT(even if i don't think it had the same impact SUbhuman Race had)
SITT didn't have an impact on anybody else but a handful of Bon Jovi fans. It had in no way an impact to the scene.
