The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

I'm not super familiar with them except the name. But I'll give it a listen.

Like Metal Church their first few albums were good, then they died off with member changes and stuff. Their first few albums were a lot more thrashy and fitting of the time when they were playing with bands like Testament and Metal Church etc. Claims are this album is a bit more back to that style. I'm not holding out hopes it's back to 80's thrash entirely but I haven't bought an album for a few weeks and I don't think anything else is out this week.

 

[Slammed]

Actually both Cruachan and Kobra And The Lotus have albums out this week which I will have to preview to see if they are worth buying. Anthrax DVD is also out but I don't think I'll bother with that.

 

[redfly]

Oh really? I've only seen it on their website and it's annoying on there as well lol. The shirts just aren't that great imo
I do like Testament's Dark Roots cover jersey but just way to much $. Now if it was Return to the apocalyptic city cover I'd probably spend the $

Funny, I don't really love the first Metal Church albums. I'm a Howe fan

Are they licenced sport jerseys? In this country as soon as they add the logo of the sports brand the price triples.

Music wise I prefer the first 5 to the last 5 or 6.

Hasn't the set list been revealed?

ummmm. lol

Yeah, I'm just being lazy.

They do need to beef it up in the sound department, the last I really liked and the production was clear but it was also thin. And I couldn't get into the Ronnie albums at all.

 

[Slammed]

ummmm. lol

Is that a no?

 

[Slammed]

Yeah, I'm just being lazy.

I really haven't taken that much notice. The clip of Indians does look ok but that's about as far as I've gone into looking at the DVD.

I might have a different opinion if I listened to Metal Church throughout the whole time, but I really didn't listen to them much from about 2000 to about 2012

 

[redfly]

I went from like 94 to 2016 lol

 

[Slammed]

I hunted out the back catalogue I missed out on and I didn't hate it but I just never listened to it as much. Kind of like Exodus and Overkill, I know their 2000-ish stuff but no where near as well as I know their older stuff or their more recent stuff.

 

[redfly]

I just bought Metal Church's Hanging In The Balance on cd for $27 Some of them were well over $100.
I thought $27 was a lot lol. But totally worth it as it's the only Mike Howe cd I didn't have. I only had that on the cassette that wouldn't play.
I have everything Overkill. I still have some catching up to do with Exodus on CD.

 

[Slammed]

$27 isn't that overpriced for a CD here.

I've got all of Overkill and Exodus but whether I listen to the physical media or on the computer I just seem to gravitate to the same stuff. It's not really a conscious decision but it happens.

 

[redfly]

Even for a used cd?
I've been using ITunes out of convenience, but it fucks up a lot.

 

[Slammed]

Oh, no probably not for a used CD in general. At a pawn shop/second hand shop they are usually about $15-20. Although I do know several music shops that will sell harder second hand CD's for $50+ if they know there is a market for it. Fleabay has stopped a bit of that profiteering though.

I refuse to use itunes, I'd rather go with out music

I use spotify and YT to preview a bit but I still buy most from either the local shop or Amazon, I just have to be careful to use Amazon US rather than Amazon Aus because if they have to get shit from the US postage makes it too expensive.
