The what's going on in Thrash thread

Gotta love the way no one of note can have a political view these days without upsetting someone. I don't know much about the republicans and conservatives but if it's anything like this country right and left, red and blue, it makes little difference, they are all politicians and they are all wankers in it for themselves. But I find it humorous that no matter what side of the fence a person sits on, or even if they sit on the fence as I think Tom suggested he was, someone is still willing to get shitty with you. Once upon a time people just disagreed with others if they voted for another person, now it seems you have to verbally kick the shit out of a person who voted for someone else.

Points to the person in the comments who claimed tom did it just to annoy Kerry though!

I think seeing his dad on Youtube has gone to Lars' head. I think he needs to start putting on face make up and dressing the band up so that everyone can retire and they can put new players in the roles just like Paul Stanley thought Kiss could do if he wants another 20 years.

Last I remember he was doing some fusion thing or something so I'm not sure he'll come back with something metal now.

I just remember his country chop house band.

Not as interested in this as I might have once been but I'll definitely check it out when it drops.

Yeah same here. I'm interested, but I don't really have any hope I'll like it. I haven't liked them that much since Kevin Moore left and then when Sherinian left they completely lost me. I don't like Rudass at all. But I'm willing to give it a go.

Man, it's like the Hatfields and the McKoys here for some people. Politics brings out the crazies like nothing else except religion. The two party system is a joke.

Lol I he hasn't been able to play for 20 + years, another 20 and it'll be a snare and cymbal.

Happy 33rd Birthday to Anthrax's Spreading The Disease!

Oh it might have been country, all I can remember is seeing him looking so out of place that I couldn't watch what he was doing.

I like the way they can make epic metal but not every song is great and some just seem to drag on. It's like DragonForce, they can run some great riffs write some reasonable songs but one or two good songs don't make a great album.

In this country we've always seemed to consider our parties and their members a joke. When that chick blew the US president we had jokes about how if it was the Aussie PM we'd be cheering him on and congratulating him. We joked that the only good politician was dead one and all that sort of stuff, but these days there is no joking, just people taking offence to someone saying something they disagree with. Like I say I don't know that much about US stuff and therefore what Tom said was too much for me to process but I really don't think less or more of the guy simply for saying it whatever he did.

They can make some good stuff, but for me that keyboard player just ruins every cool heavy vibe they get going.

In 20 years he will be 75, even with his skill, or lack thereof, playing drums for an hour an a half a night at 75 is a hell of an effort. I don't care about the music, I want someone to hold him to the statement now!

If I could find it I would give it a spin in recognition, but I'm not sure where my copy is.

Politics here have gotten very dirty over the last few years. A lot of propaganda preying on the not so educated. Especially when Obama became president. Take it for what it is lol

I do appreciate their film clips though, kind of like little epic movies.

Lol. Held!
Personally I think he's kidding himself.

Yeah I think it's getting that way everywhere. I think the freedom of the internet is largely responsible because people can say whatever they like and never get held to task. I've got a mate who says he questions both sides of politics and spends hours a day responding to articles from the newspaper and the comments of people on those site. He comes off as a complete dick most of the time and looks like he's just arguing for the sake of arguing. People like him constantly do shit like that and it makes it so easy for propaganda to spread when people are like that.

I do too, that's why I hope Blabber is still around to remind him

Man that is so true. I've forgotten who said it. But they said social media is the cancer of our time. Forgetting the joke I would say that I thought cancer was the cancer of our time. It's a very true statement. One or a few individuals can cause massive damage and it's very easy to make things look legitimate.

where's the golf clap emoji?!
