Classics Reborn

[Slammed]

Decided that given the topic he is discussing this is more of a classic topic (and because I didn't want to get the Dave's mixed up)

I suppose the list isn't that surprising, and I can't argue with it, I like every band on there.

 

[redfly]

Not a bad list. I don't Abattoir though.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Abattoir but I will listen to them. However Dark Angel and Nuclear Assault I do like.

 

[redfly]

Yeah me too. I'd love an update on how the new Dark Angel is coming along.

 

[Slammed]

Every time I've seen an update it's from Gene and it only ever says they are working on it. None of the others in the band say much and Gene on tour with Testament still I think so he might still be a bit busy.

 

[redfly]

That's all I've ever heard also. I don't think Gene is ever still lol

 

[Slammed]

I don't know who does the facebook updates for Dark Angel but often I see the news about DA from Gene before I see it from the official band page.

 

[redfly]

I don't even have FB lol I'm like the last hold out. but it's getting harder to stay off it. A lot of bands only do FB, or FB only contests. Gene is pretty good with uploading stuff. Maybe since Steve has joined another band it means Gene will have time for DA?

 

[Slammed]

I only have FB for business, I hate the dribble and bullshit people go on with. I also only follow a few bands on there but Gene is one of them.

It does seem like Gene is the big push for DA to reform and do something but he's so busy I can't figure out how he an fit all the stuff in.

 

[redfly]

I don't know how he does it either he has a ton of projects that I know about about and probably just as many that I Don't!

 

[Slammed]

Maybe he's cloned himself, it would definitely be easier for him. Just a look down his discography shows some amazing albums.

 

[redfly]

Hahaha I'm not sure the world would survive two Atomic Clocks going off!

 

[Slammed]

Well in that case he better get off his butt and just release DA.

Did you ever get into Viking?

 

[redfly]

No? Is that a band? or the show? lol

 

[Slammed]

Band, Gene played drums on their 2015 release. They've only released 2 other full length albums back in the 80's but they started out with DA and the like.

 

[redfly]

No kidding. I'm gonna go on youtube and check them out

 

[Slammed]

Not sure what you'll find on YT for them. I know Gene didn't play many (if any) gigs with them in 2015 and their first two albums were reissued few years back but I'm not sure what is actually available now.

 

[redfly]

I found some albums, I can't say for sure if I would have gotten into them back in the day but I didn't listen to everything. I did like this song.

 

[Slammed]

It was a different time back then, they kind of fitted well with a lot of bay area thrash. I wasn't as fond of Man Of Straw as a lot of people seemed to be but it was good. I like the new album more than the old ones.

 

[redfly]

I'll have to check out the new one. i saw it but I haven't listened to it yet.
