The what's going on in Thrash thread

[redfly]

I'd love to but Metallica is the only band who could afford my talent these days!!!

that's good stuff

For sure! I don't think Greggy is going to find what he needs unless he joins an older band. Bet that Testament paycheck doesn't look so ban=d now.

I think Wreck-defy is a good vehicle for Greg and I think they work well, the ex-Annihilator dude does need to sharpen his vocals a bit but I reckon they could make a decent go of this. Although from memory I think I remember reading that Greg is only a hired gun in the band anyway.

I have the largely over inflated ego to match Lars as well

Yeah I think if they can bring it all together they could be great. Sadly I think Greg is going to be stuck as a hired gun from now on. but as long as the projects are cool and the bass is upfront, I'm good.

Lol you'd have to to survive that band.

Given he's been with the band for two albums, as with the singer, I think they nearly have a fair claim on ownership. In fact Greg, Aaron Randall on vocals and Alex Marquez on drums have all been there for two albums by the look of it so that's 3/4's of the band that's a majority for ownership. Although the guy who started the band two years earlier might have something to say about that.

It's going to need to be a big stage!

Greg is also in Trauma though right? Are they both full time? Both part time? I wonder if Greg has to have a day job?

MA have him in Trauma (only for the more recent album) but also another band that started last year called Hand Of Fire. They haven't released anything yet but he's listed with three other guys that haven't played any anything I'm too familiar with. He's also listed in Trinity Fallen but MA seems to think they've ended after 1 EP.

Man I just tried to cut my finger off. I think the only thing that stopped the knife was my nail. The same finger was already black from being shut in a door three weeks ago, now it's black and covered in blood. Guess dinner is going to have some extra flavour tonight!!

 

[redfly]

Man he really really needs a good gig!

Shit man! Settle down!....are you serving finger sandwich's?

 

[Slammed]

He should start his own band.

Nah I was just chopping stuff for salad, not quite the speed you see those expert chefs chop at but that sort of action and I think I just stopped thinking for a moment and that was all it took to move the knife too far. I haven't fainted yet so I'm guessing I didn't loose too much blood

This is the other band Greg is associated with, he's not on this album but he's listed as a permanent member according to MA.

 

[redfly]

I'm skeptical he'd pick the right people.

As long as diner isn't late!

Geez. Trying to be Devin Townsend much?

 

[Slammed]

Maybe he's tried and we don't see it, but you're right I'd reckon he could put a wanted ad out and he'd get some responses.

You're as sympathetic as my wife was She is working overtime tonight so I have plenty of time to recover and still get dinner on the table

I know Greg wasn't on that album but I was a bit surprised to hear that from a band he's in. I hope they release something soon so we can see what influence Greg has.

 

[redfly]

IT's just that it seems like the bands he gets into don't have the greatest frontmen, for various reasons not that some of them can't get better. I'm not sure he knows what's best for him from a fans perspective.

I don't want to get to mushy on you...and dinner better not be either!

He had the perfect band . Yeah I hope they do too.

 

[Slammed]

I agree with Neptune from the previous page, it really seems like people are struggling to find vocalists to fit the band. It's easy being an armchair critic but there is plenty of people out there who can sing it just seems like so few bands fit the vocalist to the music.

My finger is still all in tact so it appear no one got anything extra in their dinner last night.

If Greg wants someone to play guitar in a band I think Chris Holms is available

 

[redfly]

It's not just that. He kinda picks these bands that are mid range heavy and you're just going to make an impact with that. By the times those bands realize and heavy up it's too late for a lot of them.

 

[Slammed]

So you aren't ruling out the bit about starting a band with Chris Holmes?

 

[Neptune]

Nothing wrong and again I mean no disrespect towards vocalist’s,but a Thrash instrumental album would be fine with me. I know as far as sales go that’s definitely not the way to go but damn would it be an enjoyable listen!

 

[Slammed]

Any album with Ripper on it would sound good as an instrumental!!

 

[Neptune]

You got that right lol!
