The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

Oh shit listen to that bass. I like it. You know some of his delivery even his voice at times reminds me of Nathen Explosion . That would be a trip if Deathclock was influencing people. . Don’t let me forget about these guys!

There is an album available but it doesn't appear to be on bandcamp or any of those sites so it might only be on local release. A few times on the album the vocals wane a little bit but overall I think the guy pulls it off. It's not a bad debut and I don't remember seeing the name in too many places either so I'm not sure how tight they are as a live band.

I see Dethklok are coming back for a one off. Presumably the original band will be there but at this stage I believe Brandon has signed with Adult Swim and the rest of the details are being hammered out.

This isn't real bad. The quality is excellent (although most Wacken shows are now) but Anthrax do pretty good with a tired old set list.
I swear Joey fucks up the lyrics at the start of Got The Time but otherwise they are pretty solid.
Throughout the whole show Scott looks like he's trying way too hard....or he really needs a shit. Even when he's doing what appears to be the simplest of task (and I say that with almost no ability to play the guitar) he appears to be about to explode, almost like he's in pain.

It's a sad day.

Ellefson has officially been kicked out of Megadeth.

As much as I feel he is the ONLY bassist for Megadeth, I can see why it had to happen, especially if there were other issues that we don't know about.

Try to imagine being in a band and trying to promote new music/shows and ALWAYS being asked about this incident until the end of time.

Dan co-wrote everything on FOM and Walls co-wrote all but the last two. However back then the entire band was credited with songs not just one or two people. From STD to Stomp those albums were pretty much all credited to the whole band not individuals. It wasn't until Stomp that Chuckles was first listed as the sole music writer.

I also agree that FOM didn't have their best tracks on it

Dan also wrote/co-wrote I am the Law, Imitation of Life, and Gung Ho.

He is the Dave Mustaine of Anthrax. He heavily influenced them in the beginning, and they were still using his material years after they kicked him out of the group.

The only difference is Mustaine was asking for it. Anthrax would've been a much better band with Lilker in it.

 

[TempleOfBlood]

But he's been writing for them for years and they just had two strong albums. What's the problem?
Gotta disagree. I'm not big on those first two albums. But maybe I just don't know. Which songs are theirs?

You like their two recent albums more than Spreading the Disease???

 

[TempleOfBlood]

Yeah it's click bait that gets them the hits and the comments. All those Ted Talks articles aren't there for the music it's the comments because every commentor increases traffic, every commentor increases ad revenue and every commentor increases google rankings. I've spent 25+ years making websites and watching the techniques needed to keep websites at the top of their market and this is nothing new but there is a line between pay off and detrimental actions. When Blabber started to fill their comment section with planted commentors to boost the comment numbers they crossed the line. Bravewords may not get every story Blabber does (although they get some good exclusives) but Braveword (in my experience) will have a more dedicated fan base who will support them longer than the paid plants support Blabber.

That being said if Blabber want to pay me to talk shit like half those wankers in the comment section I'm sure we can do a deal!!

I do like BW a lot too but how do we know BM uses plants in their comments section?

If nothing illegal has happened this shit would blow over just like every other story of it's kind. Sure some people can't let themselves forget and always bring it up but those people are in a minority. Think of all the stories of debauchery throughout the history of music and so few of the legal ones every get brought up and if they do the smart people shut them down. If this shit stayed legal and nothing more came of it Megadeth would easily have ridden this out like they've ridden out so many other scandals. Snr is a drama queen and loves the spotlight, don't mistake his (or management's) weeping words of wisdom as anything more than spin to make Megadeth look better.

If this shit goes into illegal territory sure this looks like good damage control but unless Dave knows something the media doesn't this reeks of stupidity given that he's spent two weeks making this decision and in that time the story itself has completely fallen from the headlines.

Nah I'm much happier with Anthrax kicking Dan out. Their song writing improved (until Stomp) and their onstage presence was more powerful and tighter. Besides if Dan hadn't been kicked out we'd never have had Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth. Nuclear Assault alone is reason enough to get him out of Anthrax because there is no way that Scott and Charlie would have let him write NA songs for Anthrax.

2 Vs 1, yeah sure. I probably listen to Worship Music more often than STD and I listen to Kings more often than both.

After 25 + years of web design and programming, I guarantee it. Not only because it's what I'd do if I wanted to create hyped BS and what many sites do, but because there is always 'cash from comments' jobs going.

On the matter of Snr sacking Jnr it kind of sounds like Snr's trying to make it sound like there has been problems for a while. The "already strained relationship" makes it sound like Snr's been thinking about it for longer than just the last few weeks. It's probably fair to say that Snr never really got over Jnr suing him but surely he hasn't waited this long for pay back. Of course it could also be that Snr's known about Jnr's video habits longer than the media has.

I wonder if Newstead wants a gig!

 

[redfly]

We'll have to start a ring around of all the hospitals if he doesn't...how many hospitals in America?

I'd imagine he wouldn't be doing it if he wasn't feeling fit enough himself but I still think it's a huge effort and I hope he doesn't miss a beat.

I'm not sure. But I'll ring them all!

I wonder if they'll have someone on the side just in case? Or he really is doing so good that no one is worrying about it.

Well I guess really I'm just not partial to the first one. But I do cherry pick from STD. I do think their last two albums are quality albums. They unfortunately aren't full throttle all the way through. But I think Charlie can still write and his drums are still killer....what were we talking about again?

Weird I always thought Danny left the band. And I didn't know they were pulling a Metallica and using his stuff after the fact.

Let me know when you find him

Yeah it's a bit of a catch 22. Put someone there as backup and it kinds of sends the message they aren't sure, or don't do it and run the risk. Not sure which option I'd want to choose.

 

[Slammed]

Weird I always thought Danny left the band. And I didn't know they were pulling a Metallica and using his stuff after the fact.

He's credited with 4 songs on STD and SOE but it's a co-credit with at least 3 other people for just the music so there is no real telling how much his input was. I wouldn't really relate that to Metallica because Dan actually contributed to the songs after leaving despite the band having issues with him Metallica didn't write with Dave after Dave left.

This is ridiculous. This would have blown over by now. But our own bullshit community keeps fanning the flames. What the fuck has happened to metal heads?! All I've seen since this happened is constant ridicule. I mean obviously jokes are gonna happen, and it is funny. But even on stories that have nothing to do with Jnr or Megadeth they are bringing it up all the time.
Dave said they were watching the situation very carefully. And I would be shocked if Justice wasn't monitoring places like Blabber. And a( hey dad. It's just getting worse). People are starting to laugh at the band.
And like it or not those tools and posers are representing us to the outside world.
And all there is to see is them savaging him and not letting it go. They are partially to blame for this, of course Mustaine doesn't want a laughing stock in the band, who does? Half of them are blaming cancel culture. But this isn't viral, the rest of the world doesn't care. It's just them.

I just feel so bad for Jnr. All his fucking work. This will now effect everything. Years down the drain.
Fuck the piece of shit who leaked this.

Some of my response is based solely on what we know. Mustaine may very well know more.
And of course Jnr is guilty of digital infidelity. But that should be between him and his wife

By the way. What does Mustaine mean by an already strained relationship? I've heard nothing but praise for their brotherhood. And Jnr basically being the face of Megadeth.
I wonder if we'll start to hear a lot of dirt.

someone get on twitter or FB and tell Mustaine to hire Greg Christian!!!!!

I took too long to finish my post lol. Yeah what is the deal with that? I mean for years now Dave has said it's all under the bridge, they are brothers. Praising Jnr and letting him basically be the face of...oh maybe that's it? Lol. All Jnr's side bullshit?

Oh he kept writing for them officially?
