The what's going on in Thrash thread

It was still suffering a few issues when I looked at it last night. Not sure if they've fixed them or not.

The first time I tried to order it failed. I waited and the second try took.

Looks like some one is happy to be free

Time to celebrate with a bit of a Toxic Waltz from 2013

He looks like fucking Manson there. Glad he's feeling better.

Sad he got to rock bottom but it's good news he's coming out the other side. Would love to see another kick arse Forbidden album.

Yeah that would be great. He lost a lot of weight!

As soon as I posted the link the website stopped working for me...maybe I broke it

I hope he doesn't fall backwards

Yeah he was a big boy before rehab, that's a lot of person to move around a stage

Typical!

 

[Slammed]

It's okay, what I did was check the site out, worked out you'd be disappointed, then I blew it offline and told them to create another

 

[redfly]

LOL. I guess typical works for both you breaking it and something they do just not working right!

 

[Slammed]

Honestly I'd love to break some bands/company websites and leave a note on the server saying "please make better" but some people really frown upon that sort of thing.

 

[redfly]

Honestly that would be fantastic and deserving of a beer

 

[Slammed]

Deserving of jail time in some countries too

 

[redfly]

It'll be our forum secret.

 

[Slammed]

Well put the list of bands you want me to attack in one of those new threads about the bands

 

[redfly]

Haha! No one will be the wiser!

 

[Slammed]

I wonder if the bands would give me a free t-shirt for pointing out their mistakes? (not the striped jailbird kind either )

 

[redfly]

They should! (not striped)

 

[Slammed]

It is a sad state when in this day and age bands spend more time using FB and instagram rather than using their own web platform. I accept that on social media each member can have a voice and people can follow the band or each person with up to the second news. But a full website offers so much more to them, and it's not like all that social media shit can't be fed onto a website anyway. Seems we've really gone backwards in the last 10 years or so and bands just want to make their website to sell t-shirts.

Dude Testament's website is in maintenance mode. The album is out and the site isn't even ready, 7 months the album got pushed back. I mean c'mon. Just unprofessional.

 

[Slammed]

STILL??? Fuck that's terrible.
I wonder if it's label holding things up (not paying a designer, not interested etc) or if it's the bands responsibility. I guess it could go either way given that it's essentially PR and the label probably owns the rights to everything PR. F&J are in the same boat, just seems like band websites are not pushed these days yet so many band members are pushing themselves on social media.
