Okay so I did suggest yesterday that with Jnr having a book to sell we are going to get more wonderful little titbits posing as media releases, but this is really taking the piss. Haven't Blabber got anything else to do over the holiday period?

The article is taken from an interview after one of his Basstory gigs on Oct 16, it's not even new information!

See there is the problem, Mike admits that he and Kurdt don't think...well he said over think, but I paraphrased

I think you got it right. Still can't believe the praise this album is getting.http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/mike-howe-didnt-rejoin-metal-church-for-nostalgias-sake/

But it's a new flash..."musos are not always easy to be around"
Tomorrow's headline will be "musicians are human too!"

I agree. Although I'm starting to wonder if the praise it's getting is from new fans not old fans. The guy that reviewed in on this forum comes across as a new fan who understands Metal Church have a history but doesn't understand that history any more than reading the wiki page. Other reviews I've read compare it to the last album only.

Haha I was just on reddit (the only place more trustworthy than wikipedia) and I read this in amongst some stuff on Nick's book.
So I went and had a look at the original Blabber article from July 2017 and that does appear in the original article down the bottom. But even the full comment is disjointed and appears to be little more than a brain fart expressed in words.

Looks to me like this author was definitely trying to create a massive shit storm of controversy about this book and then it died down to the point we are now where it's been released for a month and a half and sites as piss poor as Blabber aren't even reviewing it or cherry picking stuff to make headlines.
As for repeated declarations from Mustaine that he "sang almost every single note of Marty Friedman's guitar solos, and I wrote the majority of Nick's drum parts, and I wrote almost every bass note that Ellefson played" and "I did it to [former guitarists] Jeff [Young], Chris [Poland] and Al [Pitrelli], too,"

Oh I never would have guessed lol. I forget about lame new people. I guess if you are only going to compare it to the last album it mat fare a little better. Still though, if this album comes off as great as they are saying. I'd hate to see their music collection.

It's still strange. I never even saw BW or Blabber even say it was released. About Dave's comment on writing...or whistling everything. Maybe he's a little Bi Polaris
. He seems to have backed off of that.

Damn, Metal Up The Ass lol. I think I'm gonna go with the regular version. I have to many things to pay for. It might be different if we could get a sample of the bonus track. Getting the import of the Gathering left me a bit jaded lol. I thought, oh! a song called Hammer Of The Gods?! It's probably the best song on there! It didn't say it was instrumental. And I found the track a bit blah. It doesn't really go anywhere.

Actually thinking about it the guy on here that reviewed it claimed Monkey Finger was a stand out so he's obviously got a soft spot in his skull

MI haven't done anything on it either. I would have thought either Blabber or MI would have found some half arsed journo that could have twisted something if they couldn't find something real to make a story.
I don't know what's true but that old Blabber article really just sound like the author trying to talk his book up.
