The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

It's an interesting cover, I've got the original by Angel Witch but I'd never heard Exodus do it because it's on some Japanese bonus release or something. We usually have to wait until a band tours or about 12 months for bonus tracks to be added to a release here and not all albums get the treatment so it's impossible to tell what is worth waiting for and what isn't.

I don't think we ever get the bonus tracks, or almost never. The only one I can think of is the re release of Worship Music. Other than that I think we have to order the Japanese version.

 

[Slammed]

Japanese versions we do have to order in, but record labels often re-release popular albums 12-18 months after the initial release with a few bonus tracks. Then after five years or more if an album has been really successful it might get a re-release with a collection of extra tracks. There is often no rhyme or reason as to which albums get it, sometimes it's anniversary albums, some times it's tour albums, sometimes it just appears random, but the one thing it never is is predictable. I've got a few Australian tour EP's that were added to albums and I picked up Dark Angel's Leave Scars and Time Does Not Heal in "special" black covers with 5 or 6 live tracks on them from Amazon a few years back. I was a bit pissed off the live songs were songs already released on different EP's and compilations but I got the CD's to replace my LP's and the black covers are kind of cool.

 

[redfly]

Yeah black covers do sound cool

 

[Slammed]

I've never seen them again and I don't even think they were anniversary editions. But Amazon only had second hand sellers at the time and I wasn't going to buy a second hand CD for the prices they wanted.

According to discogs they are available.

[redfly]

Oh those are cool

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I thought so and given they were only about $15 I thought they were a bargain to replace the LP's

 

[Neptune]

Nice!

Gee Dave, way to show commitment. 95% chance of an album and 100% of a new song in the next 12 months. considering this time last year you told us you were heading into the studio in 2018 you commitment is amazing!

 

[redfly]

I know! It's not like they're on the Slayer tour!

 

[Slammed]

No but he's still going on about that gigantor like tour that he's revealing very little of.

 

[redfly]

I like the part where he says fast and aggressive. But I hope he knows the vocals need to be the same way.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah they way he's talking about Dirk's drumming it's almost like he's setting him up so he can blame him if the album fails

 

[redfly]

Lol there ya go

 

[Slammed]

Not sure what to say.

 

[redfly]

I do, it starts with H and ends in A
But at least they aren't wearing guyliner and feathers!

 

[Slammed]

According to FB it was taken on the 99 Risk tour.

Jnr looks like he's just breaking pubity.

 

[redfly]

Hahaha yeah he does

 

[Slammed]

I can't believe Jnr looks so young. Snr is of course a lot younger there too but his face has always had the same features no matter how old he's got.

 

[redfly]

Must be the hair cut lol
