Went and saw Maiden at Knebworth! And had the VIP package so got lots of extra bits and enjoyed good food and drinks! Had a fab time and enjoyed looking at the history of iron maiden and the museum at Edd Fest. And the bands opening for Maiden were all great and of course Iron Maiden were amazing and totally kicked ass! 2:47

Itβs been a pity, Bruce got a cold in Spain and he couldnβt perform at his best.

7:42 The first time I even heard Mastodon was in Gothenburg, Sweden, during the Unholy Alliance Tour with Mastodon, Slipknot and Slayer. We all thought it was the sound technician who tested the gear when they blew the roof off the stadium!
Legendary metal event for me.

4:44 For me the best song by Anthrax this far is Madhouse. I will never forget when I heard that song for the first time ever. When it came out, and I was still a kid, and I canβt sit still when that riff starts.
Metal bliss!

"The Edge of Perfection" honestly might also be one of my favorite Anthrax music videos now, and they have some good ones to compete for that spot. Dig Rick Baker showing up. The song, as expected, rips. I feel it might live up to the hype.

ScottβI Hate The Fansβ Ian is the biggest DB is music. And, I couldnβt care less about anything new by Anthrax, which goes to show how far theyβve fallen for me and most thrash fans. The truth is there is NOT a big 4 but a big 1 and we all know that Metallica is the big 1 and the rest are way down the list. Just look at sales or Spotify numbers, no one is even close and Anthrax is the lowest. So, stop with the big 4 nonsense and donβt use that as a marker, Slayer only has 3 gold albums and Anthrax 0 with 1 platinum single with Iβm the Man, which most Metal people hate and they brought rap to Metal.

Not sure what you meant when you said something big would be happening at EDDFEST today but nothing out of the ordinary happened.
You've got some explaining as to what you were alluding to.

He reached for a book all bound in leather
Something that he knows he's never read
And the first page says "Beware, you've found the answer"
The next one says "I wish that you were dead"
Don't go on, put it back
You're reading from the Bible Black
– so says DIO the God of Metal

I've been seeing on Reddit that Knebworth is a shitshow today.
People stuck in traffic for 4-5 hours and unable to get near the site. I've also seen people saying they've turned around and left due to not being able to get in.

The Black Sabbath book is another money grab, there isn't going to be anything in there that hasn't already been said before. You can't "document the band's extensive history from the late 60s to the final show" AND "focus on the original lineup"
Why no mention of Iommi's new solo album ?

Just dont go through Its a small world. It will be stuck in your brain for days. Trust me i lived in So. Cal for 42 years. Glad i left, that song is played in different languages as you sit in a stupid boat. Please dont tell me there are LGBTQ+++ small world dolls.

Anthrax has been on an incredible streak since Joey came back. I thought Worship Music was the best album they ever released then For All Kings matched it. I have no doubt this new album will be phenomenal as well.
