The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

I was gonna give a happy birthday for Anthrax's I'm the Man ep. But I'm not sure I want to.

I didn't mind I'm The Man, it was a good attempt at showing bands don't always have to stick to the same formula and it's something I wish more bands, or in many cases more fans, allowed to happen.

It was also the anniversary for Metal Thrashing Mad sometime last week I think I remember reading.

The only two releases I’m looking forward to are these two younger Norwegian Thrash bands,Tantara and Vorbid.Not by any means reinventing the wheel,But they are two very good bands bringing a progressive element that’s refreshing.Long solos with some pretty good song writing skills!

 

[Slammed]

Looking at the confirmed release list.
I'm looking forward to hearing the new Hiedevolk and Suicidal and I'll definitely be buying BLS, Preist and Phil Campbell. I'm sure there is others with stuff in production though.

 

[Neptune]

I’m sure your right,we’ll Just have to wait and see!

And in other news, we have news that we can't talk about because it's not news yet, but if we say there is new news there when the news finally breaks we can say "our website broke this news first"!

No the bit I was referring to was about redoing their earlier two albums because he thinks he can do them better now, which I fully expect after twenty odd years of technology.

Okay, I was trying to read it and then started skimming it. I think I just really don't like Max. He starts talking and I zone out.
He seems like kind of a dick that is a little too full of himself.

 

[redfly]

Imagine how it would have rated if it was a good album

That's a joke obviously, it was a good album, had really solid songs on it, but I still don't think it was great and it's not their best.

Yeah, that's the way I feel about it to. I was surprised they got number one. But i'm glad they did.

I didn't mind it. but what it led to is absolute garbage. Hence the no happy birthday

Well there goes the album for this year...probably.

I think he's probably got some right to be full of himself, maybe not to the degree him or some of the other musos like him are but the guy is fairly talented and he's industry renowned for that talent.

 

[Slammed]

Oh it beats the shit out of some of the albums on that list that's for sure. Compared to some of what Bravewords picked Overkill is a 14/10

Yeah there is quite a bit of what Anthrax has done I'm not a fan of but they have done some good stuff over the years. White Noise has been in my car CD player not for about three months and I don't see it coming out any time soon.

They probably deserve the chance to go out and play Brotherhood to the world. There might be a bit of pressure on them for a follow up since Brotherhood was so popular.

I honestly couldn't tell you the name of any of his songs, Sepultura or otherwise.

LOl yeah that's true. Pretty shit list this year

I'm that way with POT. They do have a lot of good stuff.

That's not overly surprising, plenty of people don't listen to him or his bands but for many more they were an important part of the trash scene and most of those are fans based on the early Seps albums. They broke all sorts of records for sales and were at a time the biggest band in South America, I believe there still hasn't been a Brazillian band since them that has risen to the kinds of success they have. That happens for a reason but it doesn't mean everyone is a fan.

I like POT but only have it on LP and that doesn't play well in the car.
