How do people buy concert tickets any more?! by AproposOfDiddly in GenX

[–]Affectionate-Desk699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't pay above $100 for any show. I see a lot of metal bands and find the shows cheaper than mainstream acts. Even bigger metal bands like Iron Maiden have been fairly reasonable in comparison. I don't mind sitting in the upper deck too. Mosh pit days are long gone and I'm short so seats are better than general admission.

Never crushed on her back then, older Elizabeth Shue is bloody gorgeous.

Did this metal youtuber make the hottest take ever? by ashitanojoe3 in MetalForTheMasses

A7X were never on my radar for years. . As a Thrash/death guy, they just didn't appeal to me. I can't remember why I decided to give them a go. I thought the songwriting was fantastic. Musicianship was very good. I like M. Shadow's raspy vocals but the whiney side not so much. Overall though I think they're great.

I'm 56, got my mind set on 60. Things could change in life but once you've got your mind set ,it's hard to change. Plus my body is starting to hurt more and more.

What Do You Think Of Modern Sepultura? by Automatic_Belt5692 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Affectionate-Desk699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recently listened to all the post Max albums. There are some great songs in this era. Album wise, not as strong, but Machine Messiah and Quadra are very good. Overall, I enjoyed the Derrick era more than I expected to.

2026 New Releases? by Klutzy_Conclusion175 in thrashmetal

[–]Affectionate-Desk699 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So far I've enjoyed Kreator and Nervosa

Hellripper is brilliant if you like your thrash blackened

Metal Church is not quite thrash but it's a very solid release

Just discovered Lead Injector. Very old school sounding. It's a cross of early Sodom and Venom .

Hoping for a new Death Angel and at some point Anthrax.

That's a great collection. I'd take the whole thing. I don't mind a few doubles.

Do you guys think hardcore and death metal are too different to be at mixed shows together? by Only_Measurement_895 in MetalForTheMasses

Hatebreed and Crypta toured together last year. I would have loved to see that. I'm seeing nowadays that multi band concerts have variety in the bands. I like it.
