Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Dee Snider]

Been going through Venom's first few albums and Vader lately.

Venom are it for me. I remember getting At War With Satan & Welcome to Hell and believing I was part of an unholy alliance of devil worshippers. As sloppy as they were, they were evil incarnate. Like Bathory & Celtic Frost, to me they are in the top half dozen most influential metal bands of all time. I hate to sound like an ‘old guy’ but younguns don’t appreciate how important they were.

Ripped to Shreds 'Demon Scriptures' into Skullsmasher's 'Rocket Hammer Brain Surgery'. The RTS is really decent death metal. Might close out the night with some Virgin Steele.

Vader's best is Litany. Them kick drums.

 

[AuntyBlindEye]

The Ultimate Incantation goes alright.

My old man bought this cassette back in the day. The music industry have always been such crooks.

Holy *. I remember $12.99 cassettes in the 80s and that looks early 80s/70s to me.

Nearly finished some cleaning and listening to Full of Hell.

Had to get through a ton of housework today (stuff that I only do every 3-4 months cos it takes all weekend), and gave myself a break from Gorgoroth.

Ratt - Out of the Cellar.
Skid Row - s/t.
Sodom - The Final Sign of Evil.
Iron Maiden -The Final Frontier.

Bit of variation on a Sunday afternoon.

My favourite keeps changing off this album. With no disrespect to the next Mgla which I'm sure will be up there with EIF it would have to be something spectacular to knock this off as my album of the year. Vocals so wet and thick with reverb. It's brilliant. The interwoven guitar layers keep sucking me in.

Eclipse - Monumentum. * if they are one of those bands who play it louder and harder live they could be a real sleeper for a huge show. Really decent Euro style hard rock.

Hell yes. This album is great. Updated show(s). Saturday headliner still to be confirmed.

Bit of Necros Christos today. Doom of the Occult.

Saw Devildriver on Sunday night at billboards, not sure whether the crowd were mild because the gig was mild or vice versa. Didn't hit nearly the same level they did 7 odd years ago when they toured with Lamb of God and Shadowsfall. Plus a really short setlist as well, only 13 songs and a bit under an hour set time.

Stinker if you ask me. Not a single redeeming feature.

Not a fan at all, but seen them twice before, opening for Fear Factory and Megadeth. Both times I remember thinking that I wished I was a fan, as they were very good live. Surprises me to hear they disappointed at their own show.

The second half of the opening track (the actual The Final Frontier) and El Dorado are worthwhile, there's a couple of good moments sprinkled throughout, and Where The Wild Blows is also fine, but going back to it after a very long time (listened to it a few times after release), I realised that time hasn't been kind. El Dorado would be the only track I'd want live.

Out of courtesy, I’m listening now in my office. My memory of this is that the whole thing is a giant steaming turd. Makes No Prayer for the Dying sound good. I’m one song in James......May not last.

Eh? It destroys NPFTD with the Talisman alone.

The pair of them are, to me, equal in their awfulness. The musical equivalent of Jason Takes Manhattan & Jason X.

 

[James Colorado]

I'm ****ing pumped for Metal Church tonight and tomorrow. The current setlist looks good, though only one from the debut (Beyond the Black, obviously).

Jason Takes Manhattan was a huge letdown - WTF were they thinking? Part 6 was pretty decent, but to follow up with that turd of a film. FMD.

Pretty sure I saw Jason X at a cinema and it was even worse than Jason Takes Manhattan.

I am there tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

 

[Paul Kersey]

James Colorado when you have time please let me know what time Metal Church start. Couldn't find set times online. Assume 9.30pm.

Mortician - HUFB (album starts and my son declares 'this is death metal'. Unfortunately soon after he declares he 'has no interest in death metal').
