The Lethal thrash metal attack

[JayKeeley]

Fact: Metallica looked at Claypool before they went with Cliff Burton. They thought he was above and beyond their requirements, heh.

 

[NAD]

I mean, playing the bass is so ridiculously easy that singing at the same time shouldn't really require any skills at all

Guess Claypool has always been gay then.

I KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111

 

[Erik]

Mhm. Seems he also appears on Metallica's Garage Inc. on the banjo.

 

[NAD]

What's wrong with the banjo?

YHBT, YHL, HAND

 

[Erik]

What's wrong with the banjo?

Nothing, can't be worse than the bass guitar can it

 

[NAD]

YHBT, YHL, HAND

Dammit, I'm not l33t enough to figure out what you're trying to tell me...

Nothing, can't be worse than the bass guitar can it

That's it, I'm coming to Sweden this weekend just to kick your ass. You buying the beer, or should I bring extra spendin' cash?

 

[Hell Mike]

I think I might get good 'n' all if I get to practice (which I do).
Ain't that sweet!
Lethal Injection will be a bitch to play+sing, I think.

 

[NAD]

Okay, I looked up YHBT, YHL, HAND. I like that acronym, gonna have to remember it. Also I knew you were messing around, your on the first comment gave that away.

Although the common stereotype of "bass is easy" is there for a reason. Many (in fact, probably most in metal) will freely admit that they started the instrument because it's easier than guitar. Now, I didn't start that way, but for many many years now I've thought it was pretty cool that I didn't have to worry about chords, and also that playing a simple power chord on a bass can turn people's heads.

Here's today's rehearsal tape, the first recording with Lethal's full line up. All recorded on a really old tape with Panzergrim Studios, a small late-70's/early-80's Panasonic tape recorder with a built-in mic. Its favourite food is audio tape.

Worst possible sound quality guaranteed! Thrash 'til death.

 

[Hell Mike]

If you fuckers don't download those tracks and say it's the most tormenting devastation you've ever heard and that you got so scared when you heard it you immediately called your mother(s) to see if they were OK I'll be pissed off.

 

[NAD]

I'll d/l tonight at home, forgot yesterday. D'oh.

 

[Hell Mike]

That's on OK excuse as long as you remember to do it.

 

[JayKeeley]

I didn't know Erik's last name was Cook! And Sorath, your real name is Glen and the two of you are brothers?! Lethal are on librariusmetallicus!

Wow! But seriously guys, those are some uber-lame album covers.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, and I can't seem to hear those Queensryche, Fates Warning, or Iron Maiden similarities either?

 

[Erik]

I don't know what you're talking about. There's obviously only one Lethal, and that Lethal was formed in 2003 in Sweden.

 

[bloodfiredeath]

I already tried to tell them about the other Lethal, and how Programmed is a great album. I've been subsequently convinced that that wasn't really their name because obviously their is only one true Lethal.

 

[JayKeeley]

I'm going to start a one man BM band called Lethal. And my first song will be a Nasheim cover.

 

[Erik]

Sure, you do that, I'd be interested in hearing your Swedish. :<
