The what's going on in Thrash thread

[Slammed]

Yeah looks cool. Nice to see them doing some new songs. And what I would say are deeper cuts from it.
I went to the grocery store yesterday and they have the mandatory mask signs back up.

We've never lost those signs. I think we spent maybe two months after christmas where masks weren't mandatory in stores. We even have to sign in to stores with QR codes on our phones now! I don't know whether masks actually work or not but so many people have exemptions for them that it's not like they will ever be as effective as they could be. The problem here is that they want covid zero so masks, social distancing, lockdowns etc are pushed, but people are getting lockdown fatigue. I don't condone riots and violent protests but it's easy to see why it's happening. And with our vax levels more than likely not being high enough to open things up until at least December it's only going to get worse with people fighting against being lockdown down and losing their livelihoods and businesses.

Lol. And KISS also. My friend who was supposed to get it pretty bad. but he said it's been kind of nice lol.

Our news report lead with "Why was Barry Manilow kicked off stage?" then after they came back from the ad break they came back with the actual story. It was kind of funny to lead with such a misleading headline. I was surprised they didn't use KISS and make the connection to evil heavy metal being kicked off stage, that would have scared more people

I don't know too many people that have had a nice hurricane!

 

[Slammed]

Don't worry. Just wait a few minutes. The vultures will come. .

Yeah. You know I wonder if Chuck is doing vocal exercises or anything. He had covid pretty bad and hasn't performed in a long time...what am I worried about? It's Chuck! His whisper is a sonic boom!

Wait? What? Chuck got covid? I thought the only one from that tour to get covid was Will Carroll!!

There is a lot of Chuck to keep moving around a stage, his pumper must already be working pretty hard. I think it's a good thing that we haven't heard any bad long term news from the Testament and Exodus camps. Maybe this extended time without playing is what the guys need to make sure they are 100%

When I was a kid we had a hurricane, it was pretty cool lol. I was riding around on my bike with some really cool wind and the street was all flooded. It was nice! Of course that was the eye lol.

I had a mate at school who had his picture taken during a cyclone in Western Australia when he was a kid, he was standing there in the rain like it was a shower. He did admit he remembered bugger all about it because he was only 4 but his first comment to people was always that he was tough and could stand in the middle of a cyclone as a kid!

 

[redfly]

Lol! Good way to get a rep! I wonder if his parents ever wonder what they were thinking?

Dammit, I was just getting into those songs and then from about the fourth song downwards the sound turns to shit. Still the songs I could hear were good.

Hmmm after meeting his dad a few times I'm not sure thinking was high on the priority list ever!

Oh really? so far I just listened to Walls and Cry for The Dead.

Doh!

I listened to I Live You Die, Hammerhead and Brace For Impact, then Suffer The Masses sounded really low (it was a different angle too so obviously a different phone camera). Then the rest seemed to have the low sound as well.

Man. Pretty brutal statement.

Disgusting. Greg Christian comes in as the voice of reason.

Does Harold realize OBESITY is a co-morbidity?

Why didn't Harold have a word to say about Sean's decades of drinking before his liver troubles?

OR all the metal musicians who have ODed? Those are self-inflicted from one's poor decisions.

 

[redfly]

Yeah pretty damn callous. Greg's statement was very good.

It's kind of weird. People will or wont take the vaccines for their own reasons, but they are their own reasons. (Okay maybe some sheep follow either side but in general it's one person's choice) Throwing a few jokes around about anti-vaxxers is one thing but actually airing insulting comments like that at friends is pretty low.

With Sean's medical history I wonder if his unvax status is by choice or need. I know several people that can't get the vaccines for health reasons. Maybe the guy from DRI knows more, maybe he knows Sean is an anti-vaxxer, I don't, but this need to insult people via any form of social media is bullshit.

 

[redfly]

Yeah exactly on all counts. Sean's reasons are his for whatever they may be. He would know very well what he's risking with his medical history if that is the case. And if not, it's still no reason to go on social media for everyone to see and gloat.

I know a guy here who loves to point out every public antivaxxer or covid denier that gets the bug or dies from it. He's a pro-vaxer (if such a thing exists), in that he runs pro-vax websites and claims to understand what each and every one does just like he invented them. He takes great pride in pointing out how someone died from their choice. Even if I do for a second think, 'oh well' or 'sucks to be them', I do that shit in the privacy of my own home, not on social media. To me people like that are no better than fucking vegans!

 

[redfly]

Haven't watched these yet.

Exadus?

That's a nice circle pit in Toxic Waltz.
The camera is a bit far away and the sound is a bit down but it's not bad footage for a phone.

Right exactly. Think whatever you want. But to go on in public like that is really fucking low. I get pissed t0o knowing all these lockdowns and problems are being extended by people that don't want to take it. And people that are dying that maybe didn't have to. But have some self control for fucks sake.
They are no better than vegans!!
