Damn straight. I ordered a pair of hiking boots as a part of an order, the first 8 items arrived in just under 2 weeks and they blamed lockdowns. I emailed them every week and got excuse after excuse. 7 weeks it took for the boots to arrive and they came from an area that wasn't in lockdown for the majority of the time, and a store I could have driven too in 2 hours! Covid is becoming a scapegoat for shitty service.

The video on YT has Gilbert showing off a patch, a girls tank and a tour shirt. But I did just read the post and it's stuff only available on tour.
$25 for a shirt and $29 to post it to me. It's not the worst postage I've seen.

Is this the best time to have tour merch only?! Lol. They might be sitting on it for a long time!
Man that sucks. The postage is more than the item? Booooo.

Their tour starts in a few weeks, it's only a US tour at the moment and I'm not sure how far they go but it's definitely happening.
It does suck to pay more for postage, although $30 for postage is better than last year when most overseas websites wanted $75 or more. What annoys me more is that the local guy with all the shirts and stuff is not getting in any new stock. I thought it was just Flotz he was being slack with and figured it might have been difficult with Flotz label, but it's pretty much every band that's had new merch and music in the last 12 months.

Haha, and he still wont reveal who played bass on the album.
At least James knows what he's getting into!

Long awaited? I didn't even know it was being made...at least I don't think I did! A bit ambivalent about this one. I like Marty, he's a great guitarist and all but I'm not sure how much I want to know about his life in Japan,
Now fellow ex-band member Nick, that's a doco that is long awaited!

He can't get the stuff or he's just not getting more?

So stupid!! How can you release that before saying who is on the album. Lol. Just stupid. Also. I'm not thrilled about Lomenzo. Should have gotten a thrasher. I remember reading an interview with Lomenzo and he basically said he was shocked by how much bass there was and how different it is than the stuff he's used to playing. I know he's a good player. but I don't like the idea of someone who is just keeping up playing Ellefsons parts.

They've been talking about it for the last couple years. I don't think it's just his recent Japanese stint. I think it covers his whole life.

He's not getting it. He's getting some CD's but actual merch from overseas he's either stopped buying or just given up. I don't believe he's closing down, but then I don't suppose he'd admit it even if he was.

Realistically anyone who took the spot was just going to be keeping up. Dave is probably happy for someone who will not seek the limelight at all.
I wonder if Dave's done the bass himself on the album.

Yeah it is his whole life but since more than 1/4 of his life in Japan now I tend to think it's going to focus a lot of his life in Japan.
Speaking of docos I'm watching Death By Metal right now. Better late than never

Yeah it does because he's one of the few that gets, or used to get, decent shit at a reasonable cost.

Man the people on Blabber are so annoying. This one guy got all these likes talking about how Lomenzo is again replacing Jr after he'd been fired again. Jr wasn't fired back in the day. Dave disbanded Megadeth thinking he couldn't play anymore.
That would be really funny if Dave announced who played on the album by holding up a picture of himself.
