The what's going on in Thrash thread

Nice Slammed!

At first when I heard it I wasn't sure but I've given it another few listens and I think the band definitely has potential.

I'm starting to get into this. At times the vocalist sounds like he's straight out of an 80's hardcore thrash bands, at other times he sound a bit like a young Tom Araya, but the music is definitely thrash

Cool, going on the list for tonight!

 

[Slammed]

You've got a list?

 

[redfly]

Goddamn right!

 

[Slammed]

I've got a hit list, but I'm too lazy to be a hit man

Something else I haven't watched this morning
I know who Johnny Z is but I wonder if I should be more interested in him.
Anthrax or part thereof are doing some tribute wars thing on Youtube I haven't watched yet too.

Yeah he was pretty important in the early days and I'm curious. But I doubt I'll ever check it out. But never say never.

I like the $5 bin (prices have gone up since covid) at bookshops. So many of these books get dumped in there after 12 months or so of sitting on the shelf. I'm currently waiting for Nick Menza's book to make it's way there at one shop.

 

[redfly]

Sounds like a good idea. I'll never remember lol.

One book shop here has a reasonably decent bio section, just not very full of metal. But the metal that is there doesn't seem to sell so I check every few weeks to see if the books have fallen off the shelf into the bin like the KK book did.

I'm not sure what we for book stores except for Barnes And Noble

 

[Slammed]

We still have a few dedicated book shops around, nowhere near as many as we used to though. There is one or two chain stores left and Kmart, Target, etc still sell a small range of books but it's definitely getting harder for the smaller shops to survive. We've got one book shop here which is a bit pricey but the people who run it look like Amish people. I was disappointed when I realised they weren't going to trade a packet of pumpkin seeds for the book I wanted.

Happy 55th birthday to Blitz!

Happy Birthday Blitz!

Haha no I didn't, do they work better?
TBF I can't fault the shop, they did a deal with the school where they offered all the kids in the school a free book. I think they got some sort of government grant and local donations and the books were offered to kids as a reward for good behaviour, reading, good work etc. Every kid eventually got one over the 6 months and there wasn't even a price limit on what books they could choose as long as it was a single book.

Happy Birthday Blitz!

I thought he was even older than that!
