Once again, sorry Wolfster (HnE)

Once again, sorry Wolfster (HnE)

Please tell me Tim is one also?

Bobby “The Brain” Heenan made famous the Ham n Egger zinger and made it a popular word for wrestling fans. But to my knowledge, the first time Ham n Egger was mentioned was by Rocky Balboa in Rocky 1 when he was proposed the initial match against the legendary Apollo Creed. So yes both Kade and Tim are Ham n Eggers for their lack of wrestling knowledge, but it’s with complete respect lol.

[jingle.boy]

Chad, you are taking all of those Ham n Eggers in the roulettemania to school with your promos and wrestling knowledge.

Tryin my best.  I was quite disappointed you didn't show up in time.  Why TAC was given the Natch moniker is anybody's guess.  He's more like Doink the Clown.  Or El Dandy.

Please don’t deny or discount Bastion Booger

You guys think Ham N Egger is actually an insult? Isn't that cute...

Kade, be proud! You've actually seen a vagina.



edit: Sorry guys, this Sheik persona is hard to shake.

There's still time to show up

Yeah, JJ, you could take over my spot! I'll sell it to you real cheap. Free.

This all makes no sense, but yes thank you, I have seen a vagina, plus more.

I’ll be the first to admit I was acting too casual with this thing initially. But once getting more informed and doing more research, I realize the gravity of the situation. But now I am glad that Rob has stressed that it is  to social distance and quarantine (and not cool to be a hoarder) I feel even better lol!

Speaking of Priest, who else is interested in hearing this new material from KKs Priest? KK said the new songs are sounding incredible. But I’m still hoping KK gets invited to a Priest show later this year for the anniversary

New Gibson promo........Faulkner interviewing Iommi

re: KK's Priest -- I have mixed feelings. While I like the lineup, and have interest in the music, I think naming the band "KK's Priest" is childish and really wrong. Just call it a real band name, and if you must reference priest, just say "featuring former Judas Priest members K.K. Downing, Les Binks, and Tim "Ripper" Owens.

Honestly, I think they do a disservice to themselves with that current band name. I hope they reconsider before the album is promoted. Looking forward to hear it though.

I agree, didn’t think much of the name. They probably would still have time to change the name officially before the album gets released. Go through the entire Priest discography and songs and pick a band name based on a song title. Electric Eye for example. Not sure about copy right issues

[Lowdz]

To be fair, there’s more Priest in KK’s band than real Priest though.

How did I miss this was coming out??  I suppose I could/should have put this in the Frontiers thread, but since it's good music ...

To celebrate FUTURE WORLD’s 30th Anniversary, over the course of 2017-18 Pretty Maids hit the road to play the album in its entirety to mark the release of this landmark album in their discography. The band decided to record and film a live performance of the album in Tokyo, Japan where the band was set to play on two nights in November of 2018.

Release date: May 22, 2020 on CD/DVD, Blu-ray, and 2xLP. 

Shut up and take my money!

[Samsara]

Got my press advance of the new Firewind earlier this week. After one spin, I'm liking it more than the last couple. Gus said it harkens back to the earlier FW days, and I'd agree with that. More as I listen further...

[jingle.boy]

Hells yeah!

BREAKING NEWS:
Primal Fear recently finished the recording of their upcoming 13th studio album, set to be titled „Metal Commando“. The title of the album speaks for itself - „Metal Commando“ contains 110% PRIMAL FEAR and is full to the brim with power and energy. The album was produced by Mat Sinner and mixed by Jacob Hansen – an experienced dream-team.

„I don't want to throw around superlatives, but each of us went to their utmost limits and we are all very happy with the sound and song material. It's pretty safe to say that this is a top album and maybe even our strongest record to date“, comments bassist and producer Mat Sinner. „It's the perfect mix between our origins and our current style, a perfect balance and all band members did an awesome job playing and recording it. For me, „Metal Commando“ is the right album at the right time!“.

The album will be released on July 17th and it will contain 11 tracks @ Nuclear Blast. The pre-order will start on May 15th, just in time for the release of the first single, 'Along Came The Devil', a hard-hitting PRIMAL FEAR bomb.

Metal Commando 

So, this will be the third Magnus album released in the space of five months.  That's quite incredible.

Saw that advertised a while back.  Their last DVD was excellent.  If I were to see it I'd buy it but probably won't go out of my way to order it or anything.

I'm looking forward to it.  The single was straight ahead but very good.  I loved the last album but enjoy their early stuff to.

I just heard a song on my Spotify Release Radar. Rising Fire.

Old fogey, that's you every single day after 2 p.m. Let's be honest here. 

[TAC]

Truth, brother! 

I get home from work, have a snack and turn on my laptop. After about 15 minutes, I am out! 45 minutes usually.

Amen. LOL. Have  a great weekend!

[wolfking]

I know I shouldn't have, but I snuck out on the weekend and quickly grabbed the new Testament.  Only listened to about 5 songs in the car but.......well.......you know what you're getting.

Skolnick is such a monster though.

[Evermind]

I'm really enjoying the new Conception record. A few clunkers but otherwise it's a collection of really good songs.

New House of Lords. Not bad but the production isn’t great, even allowing for shitty YouTube compression

Better than the first track though.

[jjrock88]

House of Lords seems to be a pretty consistent band as far as releasing quality material. I’m only really familiar with the self titled and Demons Down, which is an excellent album.

They seem to have been releasing new material constantly since around 2004. Has anyone been listening to all their newer stuff? Haven’t heard everything but what I have heard sounds pretty similar to the older albums
