I've heard others talk of this band before but never given them any attention. I think that might have to change.

Their other two albums are good. The first one didn't have Greg was was a little unrefined in production. The second one with Greg was better but production and song writing still let the album down. I didn't know this one was coming but have been hoping for a much better production on album 3 because they do seem to have the makings of a good band.

Their new album better really be something else.
I know Lars had some very expensive very ugly art but I think he sold those?
Yeah I guess I don't doubt those numbers considering Jr sued for 18 mill.
I wonder how big Megadeth's crew is. Because yeah that's some money to hand out lol.

A $15m album
They probably all own houses that are worth more to them they sell for too. I don't remember if Kirk ended up selling his house but he was one of those musos trying to sell for way higher than the market wanted.
I think I remember reading at one point in Nick's book (or maybe Jnr's first one) that the crew on the road is between 50 and 100 people depending on the gig. But I'd imagine there is also plenty on the payroll who don't go to every gig, lawyers, accountants, admin, etc. It's a big difference from the $1000-1500 a night we used to get paid for a gig

I'm not as fond as the vocals on this track as the previous two albums. The music is still mostly there and the production does seem better but there is something wrong with the vocals.

Added to my list tonight
I had a bit more of a listen to it and it's very Cav-era Seps so there might not be much in it for you. There is some killer guitar work on some of their songs though, and they do a terrible cover of Rust In Peace as a tribute to Nick.

Even when there was 5 of us to split it with we were happy, some pubs even threw in a bar tab with that price

In some ways Algebra (what a weird name for a band) is like Wreck-defy, not in sound but in the way they seem to have all the elements there but they can't seem to get them to all align and make something absolutely killer. There is moments of greatness, and even the production seems pretty good, but there also seems to be something that lets each song down.

I don't know why I'm listening to it but I reckon I've just worked out the biggest problem with John singing Joey's songs on that compilation album. He puts a stronger emphasis on words that Joey didn't. For instance the first mention of "thinking with your dick" in Keep It In The Family, he really emphasises the word dick. Then a bit later in the song he punches the word fuck out at the end of a line instead of just saying it. I also don't remember if the original had swearing in it given it was a single, I know other songs on POT had it but I thought Joey only added "why the fuck do you hate" to the live versions.
In other songs he also uses full words instead of abbreviations. In Caught In A Mosh he says There is the door, your name is on the knob, as opposed to Joey's original using the words There's and name's. They are subtle differences and not entirely bad but they do make those parts different.
Oh and Scott doesn't get out of it without a kick in the butt either his "WARRRDANCEEEEE!" scream in Indians on the compilation album is shit compared to the old days!

Damn I'm starting to get a bit sick of hearing about this and not having something to back it up. Hopefully in a few days this 'punk cover' will give us something to look forward too.

Very well thought out. It makes me understand completely. I'm sure I would hear it the same way.
Fucking Scott. Sometimes his scream of wardance sounds really good. Sometimes I wonder why he never fronted a band.

Yeah same here. Especially with all these get togethers he's having with other people online. At least we don't have to wait long.

Ahhh the perks of being a rock god
Being a rock god under the age of 18 was the annoying bit because in most places we had to stay in the band room and only enter and exit via the back stage door. But very few bouncers cared about our age once they knew who was in the band and who wasn't and providing we didn't get caught drinking outside the band room the pubs rarely cared. Between road crew and being on stage I probably only had to pretend I was 18 for about 18 months, my cuz had to do it for more than 3 years because his first paid gig in a pub was when he was 14.
