[QUOTE=manuscriptreplica]I think they are boring (testament). I haven't heard much of their stuff though. Skolnick is obviously one of the better guitarists in thrash though... now that he's left, what will become of Testament?[/QUOTE]

For a start, Skolnick left ages ago, after The Ritual. Then they got James Murphy(!) who has been in Death, Obituary, and many other bands over the years, and is one of my favourite guitarists. Murphy was on Low and The Gathering, which are two of their best albums. Now he's gone, but that doesn't stop Testament being a force to be reckoned with. Testament = my favourite thrash band next to Slayer. Actually I'd say they were equal.

The Gathering is great. The New Order has too many crappy songs but is still good, for one reason:

DISCIPLES OF THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH!

:O what songs are crap on The New Order?

No, it's good for the following reasons:
Disciples of the Watch
Into The Pit
Trial By Fire
The Preacher

But the production bothers me, which is why First Strike Still Deadly rules.

Trial By Fire is my fave Testament song ever....love it. James Murphy has a knack of being on great album by bands. That's the case with Obituary anyway, Cause Of Death was ace. Not to sure about Death though....not heard Spiritual Healing. No doubt that he gets around though!

He was in Cancer too, the leads on Death Shall Rise rule. James Murphy is the man, no question.

I guess I've got another day. I didn't think I'd have to come to school today, but I have graduation practice 5th hour. So, [B]this[/B] is my last day. And good question. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH TESTAMENT!

I think all of the titans like them, except JMet...

^^Yeah, that is true. I don't see how a thrasher can't like them though. PWYP is one of the best thrash albums ever!

**** right. How can you not like testament?!

I dislike the vocals in Testament especially on the later albums.

GOD! I HATE MORONS! That god doesarod idiot is getting on my nerves. I wish posers wouldn't come onto the R&M forums sometimes.

[QUOTE=Corporal Compendia]Can't say that I did. Was that the Betrayer show?[/QUOTE]

Ya, It was good except that only abouit 4 people wanted to start a Mosh pit :angry: .Those bastards.

I can't tell, do you mean this as a good thing or a bad thing? :lol:

Betrayer are a great band...and Crisis are entertaining.

One of the reasons I dislike testament on the whole.

Oh and everyone from Australia:

There is a great metal shop located in Nowra of NSW that sells extremely cheap metal cds ($25 each or 4 for $75 [$18 each!]) and t-shirts for $30. The guy who runs it all 'Kuz' also offers free postage Australia wide. You pretty much save a good $40 on 4 CD purchase, and that, my friends, is bloody brilliant! Oh, and you are supporting a local metal head instead of a huge music Franchises. :D

The site is: [url]http://www.tripleu.org.au/freestuff.html[/url]

Check it out.

Anyone heard of Assassin? "Upcoming Terror" is supposed to be great German thrash. German Thrash = harsh vocals, songs about war. :D I am going to have to check them out.

Sweet, is it kinda like the song I am playing now? It's called PEOPLE OF THE LIE!

Oh man, is this not sweet... Got a master plan, GENOCIDE, can't understand, PEOPLE OF THE LIE! \m/ >_< \m/

"Got a master plan, GENOCIDE"?!? I know those lyrics from somewhere! I know them! where is it?!

EDIT: It's from Coma of Souls... haven't listened to that in a while. :( It has some of the most intricate riffs to ever tear through a thrash album.
So my message to all thrashers is: LISTEN TO "When the Sun Burns Red" NOW!!!!

^^ It's from People of the Lie, just like J Met said. :lol:

That site isn't as good as I thought it would be. No Coroner, for starters. No Darkthrone 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky'. No Dark Angel. No Cryptopsy. They have Mayhem's 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' thankfully, which I will be sure to pick up, unfortunately no 'Live in Leipzig'. Oh well. I'll e-mail him, see how it goes. Cheers for that.

Assassin = top notch thrash metal in the long-standing German tradition. All fans of Kreator, Sodom, or Destruction should check them out. But especially Sodom fans, since that is who they remind me of most. Happy Thrashing :thumb:

P.S. I have a bone to pick with JMet :angry:

After several hours of searching....:

1. If it is not from 86, it’s not good.
2. If you wear anything but your jeans and denim jacket from 1986, you’ve sold out.
3. Refer to all women as ‘bitches’
4. Bitches serve no other purpose other than to be impregnated
5. Impregnate as many bitches as possible
6. Metallica suck
7. Never admit you like Metallica, even though you love their first three albums
8. Never talk about Metallica to other thrashers, that is a sure sign of a sellout
9. If you no longer have your original vinyl pressing of reign in blood, you have sold out
10. Cut your hair short and you will be considered a sellout
11. Never had hair past your shoulders? You are not a thrasher
12. True thrashers have long hair
13. It is compulsory for you to head bang at all thrash concerts
14. You aren’t at a thrash concert? You’re either not a thrasher or have sold out.
15. Drink tremendous amounts of beer
16. You must be from San Francisco.
17. If you have not been living in San Francisco since 1986, you are not a thrasher, not underground and have more than likely sold out
18. Go back to 1986 and create a thrash band
19. If you were in a thrash band in 1986, reform 15 years later
20. Slayer sold out in 1986, all true thrashers know this fact.
21. Link band names with the word ‘****ing!’ Eg: Dark ****ing Angel, Vio-****ing-Lence, Slay ****ing Er
22. Complain about the present state of the music scene
23. Reminisce about 1986
24. Create a thrash band
25. Repeat rules 22, 23, 24 and 21
26. Pile dirt on Metallica so your newly found band will gain status in the underground, keeping in mind rule #7
27. Die of a heart attack/stroke/other diseases that normal people (sellouts) die at 80 from at the age of 37.
28. If you are 36 you have a year of thrashing left, take not of rules #5 and #15
29. Thrashers are so ****ing underground, if you are not underground, you are not a thrasher
30. Never smile
31. Make sure you always have an evil grin on your face like you are trying to chew through 10 leather jackets at the same time. Incorporating this with rules #5 and #15 will make you more of a thrasher
32. The Haunted suck more than Metallica
33. Thank every single thrash band in existence in the liner notes of your next album.
34. If you are Metallica, disregard rule #33 and thank bob rock instead
35. When referring to intercourse, use the terminology: “sticking my cock in her cunt�
36. Wow, impregnating bitches is more tiring than head banging; go drink more beer
37. Your musical tastes are superior to any one else’s, when anyone doubts this, remind them thrash was the basis for most metal beyond 86.
38. Having the word satan in songs beyond 86 is a sure sign of a sellout.
39. During the 90’s when your thrash band was split up, you owned an underground music shop; it is your duty to mention this in any interview you have now that your band is reformed.
40. Vinyl was so much better than Compact Disk’s. Blindly reaffirm this fact to yourself on a regular basis.
41. Death metal sucks; Beer tastes better than virgins entrails
42. Black metal sucks; Beer tastes better than goat blood
43. Power metal sucks; Beer tastes better than sem….
44. Doom metal sucks; you could drink more beers in a minute than a doom band could play notes.
45. If you can still see traces of black on your faded band t-shirt, you obviously weren’t around in 86, and are therefore not a thrasher.
46. Take the Metallica patch of your jacket; they’ve sold out
47. You are so ****ing underground! Any more underground and you’d be hitting magma.
48. ‘86 is your favorite number.
49. Don’t talk to anyone who isn’t underground until you have sold a million albums.
50. If you could record an album before 86, only spend $100 on it’s production, anything more would not be underground
51. Spend the other $9000 on drugs
52. If you ever get kicked out of a band, it is imperative that you make another one to spite your former band mates.
53. Disband when you realize your band isn’t as fast as reign in blood, not disbanding would bring shame upon you, and you will probably be branded a sellout
54. Join your friend’s band who is as fast reign in blood
55. Throw out all your Metallica posters you got when you were 12
56. “**** yeah!� is used instead of the words “Hello�, “yes� and “Metallica suck�
57. If your songs have less than 92 riffs, 16 time changes and fewer than 364 beats per minute, it is not thrash.
58. It is alright to turn to Christianity and leave your thrash band, provided it is after 86.
59. When ever
60. Anyone who does not know the difference between speed and thrash. Is not a thrasher and therefore deserved to be
61. Never be a Pretentious, poseur fag around other thrashers, 14 steal-capped boots in the balls doesn’t tickle.



YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I FOUND IT.

****ing hilarious

Well, In accordance with rule #1, Assassin - The Upcoming Terror was released in 1986 (or 85?), making it good.

[QUOTE=Corporal Compendia]I can't tell, do you mean this as a good thing or a bad thing? :lol:

Betrayer are a great band...and Crisis are entertaining.[/QUOTE]

It was a bad thing because we tried so hard to start mosh pits and people just looked at us funny. The show was pretty good but the singer from crisis messed up the wordds to one to quote him "Landmines have taken my ... :confused: taken my :confused: " so on and so forth. What a tool. :lol:

Also I saved the rules of thrash to my desktop :thumb: its always there.

Thou shalt all check out my new uploaded pictures at [url]http://www.angelfire.com/rock3/griffio[/url]. I'm only 16, so my hair is only shoulder length or so still, i have time to grow it all. Quite sexy aren't I? Bwahahahah Pain Suffer Pain.. been listening to much death metal.

your girlfriend is hot.

thought adelaide bitches are hotter.

G'day fellow Thrashers!

Just got back from a local Metal gig. Our local chugging-thrash band "Black Reign kicked it all off, and they went off. They got rid of their faggy kiss-wanna-be guitarist and their set consisted solely of original tracks, a change from their usual Creeping Death and Seasons in the Abyss covers. I turned up 15 or so minutes late, but within 30 mins, my head was about ready to fall off; you can do nothing but head bang to them, i swear to the almighty.

The next band up was "Bingo Steve & The Magic Markers" who reminded me of early W.A.S.P. of all things (their lead singer was dressed in a leopard suit and strutted around on stage, trying to make love to the air). I was thoroughly enjoy they raunchy rock set until they announced they were going to cover 'Flight Of Icarus' by Iron Maiden. My friend and I just looked at each other and just and shouted '**** yeah!!' and ran up to the stage and got totally into it. The vocalist introduced their next song 'horny, a natural sin, flaunt it, do your thing' by engaging in several sexual acts with a blowup doll and the other singer, before finishing up with an AC/DC cover, which got the remainder of the slack wall-sitters up to the stage. A truly awesome set that I wasn't expecting at all.

There were two more bands scheduled to play, but I chatted to the vocalist/guitarist of black reign about our UNI's new metal society and the almighty priest, before pissing off home....

And here I stand (sit) now! Awesome night, and i urge you to download some black reign off me. Soulseek: ManicThrasher . Get a song called 'Child Of War' from the s/t demo. A chugging thrasher, indeed!
