For some countries I agree with further restrictions and I still think open boarders should be a while off. But countries like here and New Zealand are seeing almost zero new cases and zero cases of public transmission. That's not to say we should relax every rule, but under the guide of the chief medical officer suggesting that some things should be relaxed I think he's to be believed. When the CMO says only x,y and z should be relaxed and three states agree but one state wants further restrictions you have to wonder what the motivation is.

I wouldn't pretend to know what is right for America because you're right we only get some news from there and 90% of it is headline driven hysteria not the actual news. We hear about death counts, people being buried, silly presidential comments, and of course we see those stupid curve graphs but we really know very little about what goes on beyond the headlines and what the media wants us too.

I saw an article last night which was listed as news stating Iranians are now drinking poison because Trump said so. Iranians have never listened to American before why the fuck would they listen to any president now? But here we are sold this as a legitimate news story, when it's little more than a fucking fluff piece thrown at us to legitimise the headlines we do get out of the US.

Iranians? Yeah that does seem unlikely doesn't it?! The news for sure has it faults. Like the Kim Jun whatever being on his death bed and now they've found a bunch of yachts of his and his entourage by some island lol. We have to take everything with a grain of salt...but not bleach!
I sincerely hope you guys have the best of luck with your restrictions! Like you said, you guys were a little ahead of us.

Yeah I'm with you. I'd also love to see more of them jamming out the songs! All they show is that quick clip. How do song creds work? I was really surprised to see that neither Steve or Gene have any on the new album. Especially Gene.
I agree with them that this album sounds a bit more like the Testament sound than the last 3 albums.

Bwhahaha! nice pose, he looks like he's two steps away from being on the cover of TigerBeat!

New Zealand claim to be ahead of us. Their lockdown was more substantial than ours and some say that puts them at an even bigger risk of a second wave. I don't know about that but I do know they are talking about opening boarders and they want to do it with us. I'm not sure we want them here though

Our Federal government is now offering private schools large sums of money to go back to the classroom. Its a huge political game because offering the money makes the private schools put pressure on the state governments to open and if the states let them open there is obviously no need to keep the public schools closed. A large percentage of the country want kids back but political parties fighting amongst themselves is what they don't want.

There must have been heaps of vids from that ship yet we've seen very few.

Chuck is a power freak and took all the credit Song credits are a weird thing. Bands like Shadow Fall credit the entire band, Testament and others list every song with separate. I know money for rights comes into it somewhere, but some of the listings on albums just seem weird.

It's definitely a strange pic considering how much he's changed over the last 20 odd years.

 

[Slammed]

It's only one song, but it's good quality.

Megadeth are releasing their 2017 Wacken Open Air performance April 30 at 10pm UK / 5pm NY / 2pm LA. I guess it's on YT but the link goes to megadeth.com

 

[Neptune]

Do they want you to pay?

 

[Slammed]

I don't think so. Dave released a full live show a few weeks ago that was free so I would imagine this is free too.

Damn Kiwi's! Let them in once and you'll be overrun by Xena's! … maybe not such a bad thing, she still looks pretty good

So Gene helping Eric with riffs and hashing stuff out and changing things doesn't count? I don't get it.

They way they promoted opening boarders it was like they wanted to let their brood travel but realised no other country was open so they had to place nice with us

Xena lives here (or at least spends a lot of time here) now. She'd got a new show where she helps cops solve murders. It's nothing startling, but it doesn't need to be when she's on it

You should have a line of Roos ready to bounce their asses out!

She was awesome in Spartacus.

No I don't either. It seems like a one way train to Fightsville. Although back in the 60's bands like CCR never owned their music so maybe it's some sort of contract deal. Gene helps but as a paid employee he doesn't get credits and forever and a day Eric gets royalties Gene only gets paid until he's no longer an employee of Testament Inc. I don't actually know I'm only guessing by what I've read from other bands.
