Come OOOON!!

[evildave]

Got tickets for the London show booked today and the album's out in 2 fucking weeks!! Woo hoo! Haven't downloaded anything from WCFYA. Just heard What Doesn't Die, oh and that live Superhero from last year (So I guess I did download summat. Shit. I completely learned my lesson with downloading before the last Dream Theater album came out. Just wasn't the same when I got it in my hands, ya know?).

I missed the Thrax when they came here for Volume 8 (one of the best albums of all time) and have NEVER seen them. Got into them in 1986 with Spreading The Disease - the second "heavy" metal album I ever heard after Reign In Blood. Before those two, Iron Maiden was the heaviest thing I'd heard. So, to cut a long story short, I am just fucking so excited to be seeing them in a month's time! Got the day off work, gonna go up London with me buddy Jon, have some beer, eat some steak, and get some Thrax.

Also, The Haunted's new cd is out on Mon 17th in the UK. There's another great band. Check em out if you're into Slayer, Testament, Anthrax. Real, proper, no-bullshit quality metal. Those fuckers can play. And they're playing over here at the tail end of Feb. A happy metal end to the winter, my friends.

Cheers!

I learned from downloading a couple of songs from v8 to not do it anymore. the experience of hearing it full blast straight from the record store is priceless

Thanks for the welcome, all. Hail To England! Ooo, Manowar. Now there's fun.

Last time I saw the Haunted was in a shitty pub in my home town of High Wycombe. Fucking surreal having them play in your local (sort of).

Later.

I'll drink to that. *SLUUURPP!*

I envy you guys, I wish I lived in the UK. There's so many great bands over there, not the crap we have here in the US. Just a few I really like- The Wildhearts (my faves, cheap trick but heavier), Hundred Reasons, Lostprophets, The Music, Three Colors Red, Vex Red, Miocene (Tool reborn), The Yo-Yo's (r.i.p.). The UK rules!!

 

[anthrax_moshing_maniac]

the usa is lucky that they get the melvins touring there all the time
we do get some good bands over here and tours but the only english bands i think are good is the underground stuff ie labrat ect et
