"The whole thing with that specific song — as well as several of the other songs — was their desire for a technical perfection that would have been easy in these days of computer editing but which, back then, we had to achieve manually. Lars's playing had to be extremely tight, and we did 20‑ to 30‑second segments with me punching in and out over 18 drum tracks. When we got a good bit, we'd sit and listen to it a couple of times to make sure it was cool, and if, say, one hi‑hat hit was a little late, I'd chop out a tiny bit of tape with a razor to make it exactly right. That was a long and tiring process, and whereas it would now take about half a day to complete one of those drum tracks, back then it took us a minimum of three to four days. For each song I had a big envelope full of bits of two‑inch tape that I had chopped out, and I remember joking to Lars that they should hold a competition for the fans, enabling them to win lost bits from his drum tracks... He didn't find that at all amusing.

Metanaut posted:is Jason doing much better? I saw him play with his band Newsted ( last i read he's doing an acoustic folk thing now, but he's basically set for life and can do whatever he wants there was a great scene in the year and a half in the life of video where someone was making fun of him for taking sandwiches from catering back to his hotel room and his response was "i got plans for these millions and it ain't for loving sandwiches" dude definitely knew the ride would end someday and prepared accordingly

hemophilia posted:Yeah I only started liking anthrax in the last three or four years. I used to not get it, but they understood in their day what I'm only starting to understand: That metal, and thrash metal specifically, is loving silly and not a deathly serious matter for raining blood, ktulu's and sanitariums, and symphonies of destruction. Sometimes you just need to mosh and clap with one hand. anthrax wrote more than their fair share of po-faced serious poo poo to counterbalance all the songs about comic books and stephen king novels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtD_GUvu-wc

redeyes posted:I'm a huge thrax fan but yeah they have been playing the same loving show for a long long time. There are sing along parts. WHOA-OHA parts. Watching them is like watching a lovely cover band. Joey is a great vocalist but he is doing the operatic poo poo too much now. Oh well, they are old men. they've only put out like what 3 albums in the past 20 years it's not like they have a lot of new material to jazz up the setlist with

Apeshit Sixfingers posted:Not sure about Creeping Death, but Newstead took over vocals when James threw a hissy fit one time for Seek & Destroy, and it's pretty drat great. he sang seek and destroy during the black album tours, and a good chunk of whiplash too hemophilia posted:This actually sounds like they discovered a really old demo from the Kill Em All era. It's not as good as anything on Kill 'Em All, it just sounds like it's from that era but with better recording and james' modern vocal style. it's almost note-for-note the main riff from the first song on the last album Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Aug 18, 2016 |

there was a whole retro thrash revival thing a decade ago that's already petered out because thrash is creatively bankrupt as well

Laserface posted:All their live stuff is played a step or two down. my band did it too because its way easier to play show after show (as a singer) when you're only hitting half your range than if you're playing it in E every night. nah they've been tuning to e flat live since the mid-90s, but that was primarily so they didn't have to keep switching guitars between the load and earlier stuff still too high for james' voice

here's a weird one though- slayer tuned to d for live undead where they re-recorded a bunch of show no mercy stuff that was originally in e i wonder why they didn't stick with that instead of tuning back up to e flat for chemical warfare and everything after until the late 90s
