The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

Yeah considering so many bands have been complaining about money, you'd reckon they'd all be jumping and screaming for any chance they could to make money. I don't to any other business model in the world that has survived covid by saying, "lets sell nothing, lets do nothing, and we'll start again when it's all over."

I wonder if Zetro's AC/DC efforts from last week are on line yet. It was a paid event I believe so it might be a bit soon to expect it online.

I do wanna hear the difference between his AC/DC covers and his Bon on steroids Exodus.

It seems there has been quite a few shows filmed that we haven't seen released in any form yet. That Heavy Metal Universe FB page shows quite a wide variety of videos from different years. I realise some of them are festival shows and therefore Testament may not be able to release them, but there has been other clips from shows which I'm sure must have been fully recorded.

It's like that show that recently surfaced from the RIP tour, we've seen Nick's camp release a couple of songs from the show, which seems to indicate the entire show was filmed professionally, so why haven't we seen such an great show released from the Megadeth camp?

It really is aggravating as a fan nothing but teasing stymied clips,it’s absolute bullshit!

It's ALL bullshit! One giant let down all around.

Yeah good point. I don't wanna hear the cry of no money from any of them!

It would probably be rude to ask for the feed after only a week, especially since I'm pretty sure I read that it was only $10 to watch it live.

Obituary are live streaming right now!
I just wish I could trust the internet, but watching the little buffering circle multiple times through the Dropkick Murphys gig last week tells me I can't, therefore paying for a live stream is not something I'm willing to do.

It's kind of weird to hear so many cry but so many not do anything about it. I don't know if these artists are not hurting like they claim and bands like Obituary are just greedy mother fuckers that want all the money, or bands like Obituary are doing these pay for view events to survive. I know Obituary would not be on the same tier money wise as Anthrax and Testament but they must be getting a good pay packet yet at the same time they've done about 8 live streams.

There has also been the claim from some musos that while they aren't hurting that bad it's the crews and workers who aren't working that are hurting. But again how empty are these comments if the bands themselves don't see fit to actually do something about it. If the road crew are suffering a 'gig for the road crew' would surely be worthy. I just don't understand the mentality.

Complaisant!

Yeah I just don't get it at all. It's like... you guys like playing and making music right? lol.

 

[redfly]

Complaisant!

Yup!

And when they finally do get back to touring their basic hits packages, because they haven't written anything new, Blabber and the like will be full of stories about how touring is so hard, spending all the time on a tour bus is difficult, spending time with the same people sucks, etc etc.

 

[Slammed]

Oh and speaking of Blabber, don't forget to read the article from Jnr on there today.
(I shouldn't be the only one to read it)

Lol I did. My only take away was that one retard who said Megadeth was never thrash and didn't invent anything.

 

[Slammed]

Hahaha! yup!

I'm sure Dave Wright and his best Blabber buds will bet there to remind the B leaguers (because A leaguers wouldn't do it) that they should be lucky they're on tour.

It's such an odd question that leads to such a response. I don't condone what Dime said about Alex, but it was a long time ago and everything was different. But in this day and age Jnr ought to know that comments like Mustaine inventing thrash are just silly...we all know he invented speed metal

Oh yeah he threw Vai in with Alex. And we all know Vai has no feeling... yeah I'm not too mad at Dime. Alex has had his own shall we say indiscretions. But to basically say. Eh it's just chops, "anyone can learn it" is just stupid.

 

[Slammed]

Maybe Dime had been on one of his famous benders with Zakk and knew not what he was saying.

 

[redfly]

I'll go for that lol.

Local stock is starting to come back into some of the merch stores here. My missus wants to buy me a t-shirt for my birthday but I can't decide which band to go for
