Judge Dredd

[Sgt-D]

Hey all you Brew Town folks here, who remembers WMSE's "thrash night" in the mid-80s? Something like that; I think it was once a week and they played (at the time) relatively underground stuff. That's where I first heard Metallica. Jesus Christ that was 20 fucking years ago! Those were the days. Also, I'm from Tosa, I first saw Ride the Lightning at the fucking library on vinyl! Needless to say, after that it went missing. I always remembered the Metallica "Blue Record". I also first heard Megadeth on Headbanger's, I think. Peace Sells. Man, at that time, where I grew up, being 11-12, this shit was hardcore! The neighborhood metalheads were called "dirtbags".

Jono: All hail THE HYPNOTOAD!!

QFM also used to play some killer shit, until that station pretty much died (and then really did).

I grew up in New Berlin, and they had Metallica, Priest, & VH on vinyl at the library, and played the shit out of them. (which was cool from there, because 99% of New Berlin is fucking bullshit. Fuck that town and fuck those people.)

It IS a shirt! Awesome! Now I just need to get one...

Yes I have one I got it at the NJ show. I will take some pictures of it and post the front and the back the back has Dred and says IAM THE LAW.

It's Alex Ross' first ever Dredd illustration. A cool looking shirt.

I would say that Indians helped really break them in the US, because of Headbangers Ball. That's what got me into them; it was on quite often. However, I was only 12 at the time. I remember Among being hard to find; I couldn't get it on vinyl where I grew up. Only shit-tastic cassette. At the time I thought that meant it was popular.
Anyway, I had never heard of Dredd before I am the Law; some other friends had got the RPG from the makers of Warhammer, I think. Is that right? Later I discovered 2000 A.D. Jesus, this fucking takes me back. Anyway, fuckin' Drokk it!

The film was OK, I liked it at the time (although I was fuckin' baked out of my mind), but I would say it really isn't Judge Dredd. Dredd takin' 'is fuckin' 'elmet off, what's that, then? You Brits can back me up on this, right?

About making a future Dredd film: why fucking bother? Read the fuckin' strips, they're better than any fuckin' movie will be. Wagner, Ezquerra, Bolland, O'Neill, Gibbons, Moore, Talbot, Alans Davis and Grant, Weston...you can't get any fuckin' better.

Anthrax got me into shit like Dredd, Steven King etc. Just buy the comic book man, Dredd still kicks ass in 05.

WHVY here in the late 80 and early 90's and HVY stood for nothing but true heavy metal...all the time.

it was the first all metal station i ever had listened to and they really rolled out some awesome tunes that no one else dared to put on the airwaves...

 

[Born Again Idiot]

Dredd fuckin rules.......just wish they would do another DEATH shirt as well!!!!
