As I understand it, Darkthrone were big fans of Euronymous

In 1993, Varg murdered Euronymous

In 1994 and 1995, Darkthrone released albums with lyrics written by Varg

Why did they work with Varg if he murdered their hero?

I've worked as a vendor all my life and whenever I went to Rite Aids it was always the best part of my day. Very chill vibe there.

I envisioned myself working there later in life after vendor work gets too physically demanding. I was very sad to see Rite Aid go out of business. Other stores even like Walgreens seem way more hectic.

I keep seeing comments around the internet that Bill Andrews isn't a very good drummer. When I listened to those albums, nothing stood out to me as bad about the drums. Sure, they aren't as good as what would come after, but most drummers would look pretty basic compared to Sean and Gene. I felt the drums played what was needed for the songs and kept the appropriate feel and energy.

What do y'all think about Bill Andrews drumming?

Like would Chuck encourage them to write their own parts and do their own thing or would he direct them somewhat?

Edit: Side question - do y'all think they did vocals before guitar solos? Or the other way around?

RIP Chuck 😭

I wonder if it was one of the scare topics of the day?

Because as a 90's kid, does anybody else remember how every few months/year there was like a new scare topic? Like I remember when the killer bee's were gonna come get us. Haha. Anybody remember that? Or one year it was all about hemophiliac's. LIke, dont bump into somebody, they might be a hemophiliac and start bleeding uncontrollably. And I wonder if leprosy (the disease) had the same kind of 15 minutes of fame in the 80's?

Anybody have much insight on Chuck's songwriting process?

Did he record riffs onto tape? Utilize drum machines or anything to help compose? Record band jam sessions?

I imagine what he could have done with a modern DAW

I always associated Jack with the rawer side of grunge eg. Nirvana "Bleach" so to hear he not only produced but also engineered and mixed DITC which is a massive sounding record truly impressed me

Does anybody know what Chuck's favorite bands were?

I'm curious about early influences and also which contemporaries in the metal community he held in the highest regard?

Nobody's moving

And why does it keep trying to be a thing on RYM?

Anybody know what Stu uses to distort his vocals?

A typical HoF has dozens of riffs and each riff has like a dozen chords and he also has all those transition parts where he'll play like 12 different chords really fast between the main riffs which have dozens more
