I mean no offense, but I wonder why Lars drumming didn't stand up the test of time as most of the other thrash metal drummers? I mean no offense to all of you who are his fans; it just strikes me as odd that everybody else runs circles around him, even at a similar age. Probably he doesn't...

I understand your point; that was a common accusation made against Violent Revolution as well. You see, I listen to metal very selectively (classic/speed/thrash/old bands/so-called "retro" bands/etc), and am not very familiar with "melodeath", nor the "Gothenburg scene", and since I don't even...

Did you mean not bad or not that bad? I don't mean to belittle your opinion at all; I say this because your sentence is followed by "but." In any case, as I said before, I think they were trying to go heavy metal meets Thrash, or viceversa. I like how emotional the music can get at times-even...

I believe it's selling out myself, but I don't care, because it's their band, and not mine-people like different things anyway, so it just means that I stopped listening to the band, which is my right. They gained many more fans due to that move. The music didn't really "evolve", IMHO-it just...

I see-I just don't care about the lyrics. I like so many bands with "stupid" lyrics, as long as the music is exciting. Kill'em All, for instance, has many exciting songs, despite the youthful, "immature" lyrics. I don't care for mature or "meaningful" lyrics for their own sake. If I would, I...

It's amazing-the way I see it is as being true to what Mille said about it, having all the "Kreator trademarks" plus classic metal influences. Some people compare it to Violent Revolution, but it's not that similar, although there's a vibe to it. It's better than VR IMHO. It has a few of the...

It is a very excellent album by what probably is by now my favorite band, Kreator. I may have missed great albums by a few other bands I love, so I am not ready to say it will be "the metal album of the year" (and there a few to come out as well) but it is indeed a great work. It's plenty fast...

Sodom. Even when they were doing their more punkish style, it was only a reflection of Tom's influences-he alwas had a few punkish songs in his first albums. So if you want one that has stayed "true" more or less, take a listen to Sodom (Tapping the Vein was what, 1992? Incredible thrash album.)...

Been listening to it so far, but without headphones on a crappy phone speaker. It's amazing metal, but not as thrashy as I expected. I'll probably enjoy it better with my good headphones (curious as to how Speesy's bass was mastered, as they have the tendency to drown him out.) I don't like...

Hordes of Chaos was so incredible, it's hard to top. I haven't listened to anything but the Iron Maiden cover and the album title song. I loved those, but admit I liked more the Hordes of Chaos title song. Haven't listened to this, but I'll surely purchase it soon! It will probably be the...

I was imagining something like that. It is my mother's favorite color as well, and I love wearing purple myself. Thanks for clarifying.

I even forgot if it was that song (it probably was), but yes, I don't see the relationship with purple. Nothing was mentioned (or hinted) in the show about it.

Unfortunately, I have no idea, except that it MAY be related to the last song they played on the speakers while they were going off for the night. It was a bout rock n roll, but I don't know which band was it. Joey introduced the recorded song. You would have probably recognized the song, but I...

It was a great show! I probably messed up the order, but this was the setlist as I remember it: Earth on Hell Fight Em Till You Can't Caught in a Mosh Medusa Indians Antisocial The Devil You Know Deathrider Got the time In The End Among the Living Madhouse Metal Thrashing Mad I'm the Man (just...

LOL I missed that! :P I have a nice purple shirt I could have worn, whatever the reason for the Tweet. On my way to the show, in blue. :)
