The status of thrash metal in Boston.[views:57521][posts:210]________________________________________ [May 19,2010 1:53am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Lamp said:The thing about "pizza thrash" as some people like to put it, is that it isn't a purely metal genre. It's crossover. An equal parts punk and metal formula that to me has more to do with DRI than say, Slayer. The only reason it gets called "pizza thrash" rather than "crossover" is because of the lyrical content of the songs, which to me is pretty fucking stupid. So obviously if you like your thrash to be 100% metal then you're not going to dig the pizza bands. Seeeeee... I actually like a heavy helping of punk in my thrash (which is funny in and of itself since you only got thrash by dumping heavy helpings of punk on NWOBHM bands) - the whole crossover thing was huge for me - but from where I stand, what most of these pizza bands are doing is less "punk influence" and more "not playing so good". |

To the unsuspecting passerby of a thrash fan, the “big four” consists of indescribable odor, questionable stains, yellow teeth and unkempt lice infested hair. No neo thrasher would be complete without his “kutte” or “battlejacket” or “smelly vest with way too many patches”. The kutte is the thrash equivalent of a TGI Fridays waitress vest, the more flare the merrier. Spending endless hours scouring ebay for patches and bedazzler replacement parts, he hardly has any time at the end of the day to watch any of his 80’s VHS troma movies. On a number of occasions his mother has snuck into his bedroom in the basement in an attempt to febreze his beloved battlejacket, but has ultimately failed as it seems he never removes the vile vest. Stuck without a job, a futon covered in beer cans, a Metallica with short hair, a boom box that eats cassettes and a shower that hasn’t felt his presence in months, the Neo Thrasher seems to be at his lowest. Fortunately there is a kegger behind the abandoned gas station this Friday. |

I dont see him at ANY shows I expect him too, even the Providence shows. I'm assuming he's still with mom and dad in West Warwick as he's kinda tapped but I love and miss that kid. And thank you: Betrayal played 2 KILLER shows. That one at the Green Room with Toxic Holocaust and Avskum and another at the Safari Lounge (oh the good old days) with Esuriem and Deathamphetamine.. yeah, Matt's in DESOLATE WIND. pounded the fuck out of the skins! That Toxic Holocaust show was great, right after the release of Evil Never Dies-like 50 people there, Joel still had merch with that impact computer type font logo. |

Yes, people looking for certain things out of a specific style of music...the thought is reviling, isn't it. It is if it's evil, which... enough, already. There are more than enough evil bands. If you roll together all the radioactive skate shark pizza zombie thrash Exodus clones, you still wouldn't have half the number of bands with an inverted crucifix in their logo. |

| ___________________________________ [May 19,2010 4:27pm - arktouros ""] haha, personally, if I'm in a thrash mood, I EXPECT it to not be PG-rated, well-played, and with a sense of fucking conviction. You hear a few thrash songs and you hear them all - I'm not looking for genius composition or anything, I want an outlet to vent. I thought that was the reason metal came around? Call me old-fashioned. I just don't like the wave of Municipal Waste bands (I.E. http://www.myspace.com/pizzafaceband). I'm all for a good time - and if I want to listen to happy music, I won't look in my metal collection. Some people like the taste of shit, fine by me. I'll keep listening to Tapping the Vein... |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2010 4:34pm - arilliusbm ""] I listen to thrash when I'm getting drunk or lifting weights or both. Like you, I'll put on something else if I want 'happy' music. |
| ___________________________________ [May 19,2010 5:17pm - Lich_King ""] I never really go out of my way to listen to happy thrash because what is that, but I only listen to thrash when I'm in a good mood. If I'm pissed or depressed about something I can't listen to thrash, or metal in general. |

Worst part is, their excuse is that they're being IRONIC. That they're a PARODY of MW. (Y'know, the self-consciously ironic thrash parody act.) It's postmodern pizza party thrash. Like that makes everything cool. |

| ______________________________ [May 19,2010 9:58pm - Lamp ""] There should be a safety thrash dance band called Boneitis. |
