The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

I go on a day by day basis with Exodus and Testament but I do love to pick on Testament to get reaction from redlfy

I see the Exodus meet and greets at those gigs are also a lot more of a close knit affair than Testament. I know Chuck said after the Covid Strikes Back tour of 2020 that meet and greets would be forever different. It's not that they don't want to do them but they would take more precautions. I thought Zetro was in agreement with him when they did Zetro's Vault. but it doesn't look like too much social distancing is happening in the Exodus photos from yesterday.

Ozzy's got covid. I hope he can kick it's arse like so many others have.

Fucking WinBlows update did that to me. I usually turn all the telemetry off and I'd turn things like the camera and microphone off so they couldn't be turned back on. But the other day I noticed weird shit popping up in my search results. The clincher was when the wife and I were talking about racing car driver who died more than 10 years ago, hasn't been in the news and we were trying to remember where he did. 20 minutes later I typed "when did" into Google and the fucking thing autofilled the guys full name.

I've known for years that mobile phones listen to conversations when left in their factory settings, but it was the first time I'd noticed Goggle doing it on my laptop. So it was straight into all the settings to turn off all those settings Microsoft want to use to spy on me.

What are the settings for the mic under?

Edit: Found them

No one's ever accused Exodus of being smart

Man bad news. Hope he kicks it as well.

I use a program called OOSHUTUP and it allows you to shut off all sorts of things. Effectively it edits the reg file so you don't have to. But it allows you to turn off everything from the microphone, to One Drive to all the telemetry shit windows installs. It's pretty basic and recommends the settings to turn on and off, you can over ride them but just running with recommended turns off so much useless shit. It also means that someone can't come along and turn it all back on unless they know what they are doing. The only downside of it is that after a Windows update some of the settings get defaulted back to Mircosoft preset.

Zetro is going to kick your butt however you are right! And although Gary got covid I don't think the whole band got hit as hard as Testament did.

He's been vaxxed so that's a good sign and the rest of the family got over it pretty well.

Sounds pretty good. I'll have to look into it. Great name lol.

I don't think so either. Chuck and his wife got really sick. Will from DA definitely got it the worst though. Man he got it really bad. I'm surprised Exodus isn't taking more precautions. Not only because they did seem to agree with them, but because Tom is a very fresh cancer beater. I'd think he wouldn't want to take any chances with his immune system.

Yeah and that's great I hope that will do the trick. But he's got all those other health problems and that makes me nervous.

Yeah I think it stands for something but I can't remember. I've used it since WinBlows 7. They make a few free products that are good for making Windows a little less Microsoft friendly.

It was either the DA crew or the Testament crew that copped it too. Maybe they were kissing more fans?

Actually Testament got a little closer than I thought.

But not this close

Apart from injuries the guy isn't in that bad of a shape any more. He's got the shakes from parkinsons, although I have no idea if that puts him at a higher risk, and he's got a few issues like high blood pressure similar to most old men. He's far from the prime of his life but for an old fella I think he's in reasonable shape.

Damn I wanna know what's in those green bags!! This tour is coming within 20-25 minutes of where I used to live in Connecticut. Where they're playing here is like a two hour drive. On a good day.
Who'd Exodus get? The winners of the local beauty pageant? Is that fucking Ted Nugent toward the end there?!!

I'd have to ask my dad to make sure. but I think Parkinsons does put him at higher risk.

They are medical bags, each one has a covid test kit in it!!

This tour is coming within about 10,000 miles from me

Maybe Exodus didn't want to be upstaged in the beauty stakes!

I could just see Ted at an Exodus gig!

According to Dr. Google it doesn't put you at a higher risk but it does make recovering from it harder.

Maybe it also comes with a few leftover scoops of Gene's special powder!

Haha. Damn it. You can never complain to an Aussie about distances!

It's a toss up! Tie?

I could see Ted getting stomped in the pit!

 

[Slammed]

Or Chuck's special herbs

We wouldn't get three big bands on a bill unless it was a festival anyway.

Zet's the only one that got himself a female!

The question is, would people stop stomping?
