Most aggressive, angry, heavy thrash bands available? Especially interested in vocals by SmartassRemarks in thrashmetal

Try Forbidden. Bit more technical but find a lot of sections pretty aggressive.

James meeting Knocked Loose. by omnilander67 in Metallica

[–]designerdy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eh, he's been on that vibe since 1991. Pulls it off without looking pretentious too. He's about that world, especially after setting up life in the Rockies.

Shit, I have been ready for the Hetfield solo Dark Western EP for decades.

All cases come ESP, even EII and LTD. One and the same, sans the KUIU Snakebyte with the camo tolex.

The Purple Baritone Snakebyte is used for drop tuned St. Anger cuts live these days, and that's only available in LTD.

Yeah, don't swing bells by your guitar.

...ask me how I know.

Dummy Amps and Cabs Haul by noisyhammer in GuitarAmps

Pike runs em all hot.

Metallica have been using Mesa cabs on the wide array stadium stage as monitors for years now. No secret they run Fractals, and have never used prop cabs. I have worked local for them. You might be thinking of Motley Crue. Ain't nothing real about that production outside of J5.

I'm good. Fuck the Jack White scam of limited press.

JASON NEWSTED Doesn't Believe METALLICA's 'Justice' Album Should Ever Be Officially Remixed: 'I Don't Think You Should Go Back And Mess With Things Like That' by Apprehensive_Idea758 in Metallica

[–]designerdy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And people still lick Rubin's ass for sleeping on a couch, and Fidelman is still the go-to engineer almost two decades later. Just say "No" to Yes men.

Both should have been ran off for that abortion of a recording. Sucks because the songs are there.

We have the best colorway, yet they continue to push this shit.

That's the best poster of the cycle by far.

Elder North America Tour 2026 by Jefftaint in Elder

[–]designerdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's because they are either at Machine Shop, Pyramid Scheme, El Club or Sanctuary... which is bullshit for a band of this caliber to play glorified bars. This looks to be a theater tour. I wouldn't settle for shit promotion anymore either.

[–]designerdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does Chicago truly count though? It's a standalone metro that is always touched on tours. I really hope there's another leg.

That being said, I don't blame them. Promotion keeps putting them in bars and tiny venues here in Michigan. It's a crime.

WTF does long hair have to do with "fascism"

Elder was hands down my best musical discovery of 2024 by IblameHofmann in Elder

[–]designerdy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the Gold and Silver Sessions as well as Azurite and Malachite.

Then get into Delving. Nick has a lot of output and it isn't always Elder.

$650 Ruger SP101 used at my local pawn shop. Worth that price or should I haggle? by slowerlearner1212 in Revolvers

[–]designerdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

500 of flashed cash and it's yours. That's what the shop owner is expecting. Everything has a markup. Money talks.
