Oh yeah, that is WAY cool; King Diamond crossed with Cartman from South Park. Hilarious!!! :lol:

Damn right! Chuck was DEATH and no-one else could take his place, and as Steve himself said no-one who knew Chuck would be so insensitive to even consider releasing an album under such a name. As for a second Control Denied album, it looks like it will happen after all the legal hassles have...

Well, I'm too late to vote on the poll, but at least I'm not the only gay person here (and NO, I'm not a big Rob Halford fan either, although I do have a lot of respect for the guy).

Hmm, I got dee Svedish chef (damn, no Animal, and I'm a drummer too dammit!). Oh well, I DO like my food hehe . . .:lol:

That's really cool news, thanx for the update! Also congrats to Rick & Monica on their new baby thrasher!

Wow, that's really great news! I'm glad the guys are psyched about their new stuff, it's about time they reclaimed the Thrash Throne so we can give the finger to all those nu(fake)-metal crap bands. Steve Souza sounds in fine form too (at least on "First Strike Still Deadly") so I'm sure their...

A lot of interesting comments here folks. I've been a fan of MDB since their "Thrash of Naked Limbs" EP, and I have to say that I find all their albums wonderfully consistent. Thank God they didn't lose the plot like Paradise Lost! As for my faves they would have to be "Turn Loose the Swans"...

Wow, this is a really cool thread 'cos Testament was actually the VERY FIRST band I ever saw live! It was back in 1987 (Oct 31 too) when they were supporting Anthrax at a place called the Avoniel Leisure Centre in Belfast. I can even remember the first song they played "Raging Waters" and the...

Damn, this is SO hard, how can we choose just one?? OK, if really pushed I can think of a few favourites off the top of my head. I really love the lead trade-offs with Chuck on "Low Life" (Spiritual Healing album), the solos on "Touching the earth" are really beautiful and pretty much all the...

Well, this would be my fave list (in no special order): James Murphy (naturally) Chuck Schuldiner (who'll never be replaced) Mikael Akerfeldt Michael Amott Gary Holt & Rick Hunolt Adrian Smith & Dave Murray Marty Friedman Jimi Hendrix Piggy (aka Denis D'Amour) Bobby Gustafson

Yeah James, I hope the benefit gig went well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go (living thousands of miles away in Ireland doesn't help), but I was with you in spirit! Was there much of a turnout? Anyone else that was there, maybe you could post a quick review of the show for those who couldn't...
