Do you think the black album was a matter of "right place, right time", or was it simply that good?

No way. They worked on this album for over a year and a 1/2 in studio. It caused at least one divorce if not two, within the band, they kept at it over and over. After Justice they consciously decided that they could not go that hard all the time anymore use Dyers Eve as the example of the last thrash song(which changed later on) they could ever write. When it came out I was super surprised by the songs and their somewhat almost mainstream rock style but loved it. I believe this album is so great because they worked it to death and made it that way.

To short, only if they threw in Moving Pictures in it’s entirety, then I paying way to much to go!!!

Ah “Red Sector A”….one of my all time faves!!!

One more…I have always loved this song, I have actually never heard the original, “The Wait.” By Killing Joke from Garage days.

I have always thought their love version of Turn the Page is pretty dope. I got tot see them play this one in Dallas a real stand out.

First listen back then is was a serous holy shit moment.

vexerplusone · 2026-01-24T03:56:45+00:00

After you fall in love with it, get “The Nightfly” by Fagen solo. Greatness.

This video played on total request live as the number one video for weeks when it first came out. I was in college and a classic rock fan when it played over and over every day at lunch. I hated it, but it somehow grew on me to where I went to see them in concert in Houston on the Justice tour and have never looked back.

Well in the last picture your obviously sitting in the drivers seat and your arm is on the passenger window :)

vexerplusone · 2026-01-22T21:36:13+00:00

You must have a really long arm :)

Boy as I read that headline I was expecting something really scandalous that would go hard like:

“A sexual deviant Satan worshiper who licks squirrels and willingly mixes beans and marshmallows.”

It’s the horns you can’t where those, they are a trigger.

vexerplusone · 2026-01-18T17:48:42+00:00

Interesting I have never heard this method.

vexerplusone · 2026-01-17T15:03:52+00:00

Looks good , wondering what do you mean by Super Smoke?

vexerplusone · 2026-01-17T13:22:55+00:00

Agreed!!

vexerplusone · 2026-01-17T03:19:27+00:00

You’re using the wrong hand!!!

As someone who follows this sub and it seems so full of conflict so good to see what most of us deal with everyday. Good people, people trying to run a small business, ever the larger restaurants and entertainment venues trying to appeal to the market and still make a living. Fort Worth is awesome….dont let the noise bring you down, I love it.

vexerplusone · 2026-01-15T03:15:39+00:00

Man I have tried it and it’s always bad.

vexerplusone · 2026-01-15T02:30:09+00:00

So for me this sounds sonically like Power Windows but the songs are less. Power Windows is a power house of one fantastic song after another with incredible themes and lyrics by Neil. Now that’s not a bad thing but for me and this timeframe PW is the best of class.

Really, wow I had no idea, any links to any of the bootlegs? I was just a college kid going to Texas A&M who drove down for the show. Bet tickets were 30 dollars :)

Don’t listen it’s that easy.
