He seems awfully high on himself, is incredibly self contradictory and sometimes he lacks incredibly basic knowledge of the genre he claims to be so passionate about. Do people actually dig this idiot?
Also, I know it’s a bit early but does anyone know if Skold will be involved with writing on the next Manson album? I surely hope so. He’s had a band in writing some of Manson’s best material
Bill needs better openers
Maybe as a bonus disc on a reissue or something? Only having FTGOG as an official live version is rough
Are ya’ll teenagers or something? Did you just discover compact discs last week?
Wasp’s presentation, marketing, social media, merch etc is all so bad. It’s embarrassing. I’ve seen people make the excuse “well of course it is, Blackie is an out of touch boomer”.
Yeah? Well so are Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Iommi etc and none of them have the problems that WASP does. I’m pretty sure it comes down to that Brandvold clown. The dude has gotta go
Jimbo has mentioned signing one. Amanda has signed one. Why is camp Jason like this? Is it a Jason thing or a Traci (his manager) thing?
Anyone else agree? What happened?
Sounds like the recent singles may have some AI involved as well. Bummer all around
She’s got a history of awful behavior recently made exponentially worse by essentially playing the role of Ghislaine Maxwell in Neil Gaiman’s horrific crimes.
Edit for context — At the show in Boston the other night she was front and center on the screen (back stage during Al’s walk on to Tacky), threw a pie in Puddles’ face and of course proceeded to brag alllllllll about it on her IG. It was all quite nauseating and I was bummed to see that she still gets special treatment from camp AL
Personally I’d vote for it to retire altogether for a while. If Bruce Springsteen can go out and NOT play Born in the USA or Thunder Road every night, Opeth can go out and not play Deliverance every night
Recently went chronologically, album by album and have come to the conclusion that Terria is his best work by a substantial margin. Does anyone else agree?
Tom’s minor key melodies are direct, succinct, powerful and creative. When he’s working in major keys it often comes off as messy, cluttered, ham fisted and corny
Has Tom lost his ear for distinct and memorable melody?
It seems to be such a thing these days. Certainly wasn’t the case 10 or 20 years back. Weird.
He used to have his team scour the crowd for the most attractive ladies. They would then give the ladies sex passes for backstage after the show. They would all line up, present themselves to the Nard and he would take his pick for the night. Does this still happen?
The things we’ve done — Caligula would grin
I feel like there’s crossover? Just thinking it’s wild that John Darnielle has written ten albums and three novels in the time it has taken for Tomas to not even finish writing ONE album…
Was there a major life change for him? Did he get sober? Did he simply get tired of the sound? It sounds like his composition brain (for Nightwish anyway — I love Scrooge and Auri) just kind of threw in the towel. It’s kinda weird…
That is — IF they even play the Asbury show. Will they? It’s probably gonna be canceled right?
