Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VIII

[Paul Kersey]

I know it's a job etc but said it before - Amott wasted his talent playing in a band that's for 15 year old kids.

 

[Paul Kersey]

New Abominator.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Slayer - Live at the Ritz 86. Picked up a boot lp which I’m certain has been done locally. Decent sound but need to crank it a bit. Also got live in France 96. That has better sound and even comes with a laminated inner sleeve. John Dette drumming on that one.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Ulcerate - Stare into Death and be Still

This band is incredible!

 

[Paul Kersey]

Anthrax tour in March.

Anthrax tour in March.

Yeah just saw that. I don't mind them, Among the Living is their best album by a fair way IMO, have seen them lots at festivals etc, good fun but I have to prioritise a lot more these days so no from me.

yeah, i agree that they are good fun. To see them for a 4th or 5th time though, is far from a priority for me. It is a big wait and see for me and i most likely wont go but i know id still have fun seeing them.

Fistful for me but enjoy first four.

 

[Dee Snider]

Marche Funebre CDs arrived. What a great discovery this band has been.

 

[Pacman82]

Somehow I've never seen them before, ill endeavour to go this time round

 

[SA HAWK]

Looks like Anthrax tickets are around $180.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Im there
Saw them for rhe persistence tour and then years later with bush in front of about 50 people
Both times kicked ass

 

[James Colorado]

I'll likely go as I'm a fan, but not sure if they've got the pull to fill Festival Hall at $180 a pop.

 

[utility]

Live Nation are the promoters. Interesting.

As an Anthrax fan I find Festival Hall/$180 ridiculous expectations. I just don't think they're that big/good for those types of numbers. I've seen with both Joey and John so not particularly excited about a Festival Hall show next year.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Recent Anthrax stand alone shows have decent sets - as expected mostly 80s material. Think you can fit 5k into Festival Hall - gee they’d be hoping a lot of older folk are feeling nostalgic.

I don’t know anything about Vitriol but what a strange story

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger, not really my go just checking it out, god these black metal albums sound like they were recorded on someone's phone haha (I think that's kind of the idea though)

Their best black metal album imo is A Blaze in the Northern Sky. Got it upon release and still enjoy it. Coin toss with Soulside Journey as to their best album imo. They played death metal on SJ. TH has no balls - don’t mind it but rarely reach for it. I also blame it for a lot of shit in black metal (been recycled ad nauseam). Ulver did a similar album to TH called Nattens Madrigal which is probably better.

I'll give that a go next then, my guitar teacher had a Darkthrone tshirt on last lesson so wanted to check em out a bit.

Give Under A Funeral Moon a spin.

You might want to avoid the French LLN bands then...their production makes Darkthrone sound like Taylor Swift.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Just started this. Any BAN fans in here? A band i really do love but dont always go back to

My favourites are Hate Them and Sardonic Wrath?
Abrasive yes, but well produced with many headbanging moments.
