The what's going on in Thrash thread

I saw a thing on the news this morning where there is a bus load of people roaming America praising Lord Trump and spreading the good word that he won the election. Maybe WE are on the alien planet!

Sadly there could probably be a lot more than one van. I actually ran into one of those people the other day outside of a gas station.
He liked my Corrosion shirt and we started talking about them. I brought up that I wondered what they were going to do with Reed gone.
He didn't know he died. So he starts talking about drummers who could replace him and says there were a lot of great drummers out there..Lombardo. A few others. Normal so far right?

Then says. A guy he really likes is Chris Adler from Lamb Of God. He played for Megadeth but only for the album. He wouldn't stay because he hates Dave Mustaine. He hates Dave Mustaine because he is a satanist. Mustaine is into Black Satan magic..did you know black magic and evil are real?..Dave Mustaine puts black magic spells on people. His daughter got him into it.
He used to have this song. Me: The Conjuring?- He used to have a song that put black magic spells on people. Me: The Conjuring?
Oh yeah! That song! He won't play it anymore because he knows it's evil.
Me: He's playing it. He's been playing it for at least 4 years.
You should a seen this guy's face drop. He says. No. Dave wouldn't do that...he knows... Me: yup. I just saw the video yesterday.
He says, wow I'm so disappointed in Dave. He know's how dangerous that song is! Blah,blah,blah. At the end he says. Black magic is real did you know that? That's why the world is so bad. Well that and the fact that the savior Joe Biden is destroying the country.

So after all his rantings and trust me I'm forgetting some good ramblings. I think. Oh ok. Here we go. :bah:
So I laugh at him, because I'm just fed up with this shit. And I challenge him to tell me exactly how Joe Biden in his first few months has destroyed the country? And he sort of stammers. And I say Trump's the one who has been destroying the country and sowing hatred, nonsense and lies.
And he says. No you're listening to the media elite. I said. No. I'm watching Trump say his own words on video or live at his rallies.
I brought up all these facts and every time I did he'd stammer and say well. How about this? And just mumble some insane Qanon thing. Lizard people or some shit. He did that a few times.

He finally says. (Almost as in submission) I just like all the good things Trump did for the country.
I said Oh? Like what? (very pleasantly) And he says. Like busting up all those democratic pedophile rings! ..!...!
And I'm just done. And I yell. Are you fucking kidding me?!!?!?!! That fucking bullshit isn't real!!! You've gotta be fucking kidding me! All that shit is made up! Like most of what you've said! You're repeating Qanon stuff that the guy himself has said he made up!
And he looks really startled like my reaction was the last thing he expected. And almost a look of he's thinking twice about everything really quickly.
But then he says. Well the Rockefeller's. You know the Rockefeller's? I'm like, yeah? Well look at them and the Fords.
And some other socialites from the 20's lol. And then he just kinda trailed off
And I said again that's Qanon shit. And the guy has come forward and said he made it all up.
He says he didn't believe that that was the guy or doesn't believe what he says.
And I'm like, well if you're not going to believe anyone than you've got your mind made up all ready without any evidence.
Then I realize my car is just sitting at the pump this whole time, probably ten minutes.
So I say that and go inside. He says, hey. Look up Agorrachrome. Just look that pill up. It explains everything. I apologize to the cashier.
I said, sorry I got held up by a conspiracy theorist nutjob. She says. Welcome to my world! Lol.
She says, there he goes. Ranting about a vaccine while smoking an unfiltered cigarette!
I'm not sure I've done this justice. Just take my word for it. This guy was really saying some deep end shit.

Fark, I don't think I would have lasted long enough to go through all that. I reckon I'd have walked away laughing just to save my sanity :)

I used to meet some strange characters at the service stations in the middle of the night when I was doing deliveries. Some were out and out whack jobs but most were almost impossible to understand because they didn't speak coherently enough to string a sentence together. Your guy at was at least entertaining!

I want to know more about this drummer for Lamb Of God though. This Chris bloke must be a good drummer to keep that band going!


Here's another gold standard testing experience for us related to earlier posts about our covid case. They opened 4 testing clinic in town here today, they shut by lunch time because of over capacity. So "go and get tested" now becomes "go and sit in your car for 5 hours and we might get to you by the time we want to close, but if not come back tomorrow"

I don't know really know how much any of the members of those albums contributed either. However large or small though it shows. Those albums are great.

I just think it would shed some light on why Kurdt's songwriting has gotten so un-metal and often un-good after Human Factor. I guess we'll never know because Wells hasn't written anything either since then.

Now that I'm all growed up and allowed to watch gross videos I'll move on to something else.

I listened to that Wreck-Defy EP this morning and they really haven't improved. I know it's only 4 cover songs but just not all there. It's one of the most uninspiring versions of Born To Be Wild I have ever heard. Working For The Weekend is okay but really nothing worth recording. Meanwhile Run To You and Little Bones are both very average.

The music itself, despite not being original, is not bad, but the vocals still don't really suit the band, they'd sound like they'd be better suited to a softer band, and the album sounds over produced, kind of like they wanted a metal band to sound flashy like 80/90's pop.

Overall I'm going to keep hoping the new album will reach the heights the previous ones showed potential to reach but if this EP is anything to go by I'm going to be disappointed.

I think the idea of a Canadian band doing all Canadian covers is cool, but why not covers of Annihilator, Voivod, Exciter, DBC, Obliveon, etc. etc?

No one wants a Loverboy cover.
 
Yeah it's not great for Greg, the band really does have potential and I thought the new line up might have helped that but while I remain hopeful for an album of original material (rather than just a covers EP) it does appear Greg is once again just the hired help.

He would have to be. The band is based out of Canada. Greg doesn't play shows with them. He is hired to track on the album.

Isn't Greg playing for at least 2 Cali based bands already?

Sometimes they talk like the album is finished, other times it's like they only have to wait for the announcement of tours and it will be finished, then other times it sounds like they've barely recorded anything. At least MegaDave is telling us his album is complete and although we've heard nothing but a single riff we sort of have proof that it's recorded.

I'm sure a lot of bands have a lot of stuff written and recorded, but "finished" and "ready to show the world" are sometimes a matter of opinion and what one's personal view is on quality control. Some people think anything they spent 5 minutes on is priceless art.

Man I don't know either. It's almost surreal when you actually meet one of these people in real life.

Yeah he was mumbling and changing topics so quick I didn't have a chance to tell him Chris wasn't in LOG anymore lol.

Jeez man. That sounds like very early in the pandemic. Five hours in line. Take the day off or whatever. Plus the trip. And over capacity before lunch? That's some crap.

I don't think I told you guys about the cashier at Dunkin Donuts a few months ago. He said I looked like I was "in the know" and then went on a political conspiracy rant. I don't know why these people just start talking to me?!
