My dad gave me them. He actually gave me 2 Sham 69 shirts and a Damned shirt. All three are pretty tight fitting now so I've not worn them for a while. He has TONS of band related shirts and once in a while he has a clear out of stuff he's never worn or doesn't wear and I sometimes get free stuff from him. My dad and I have very similar taste in music, so it's kinda handy.

As for where he got them, I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are many years old and have just sat in a drawer unworn for a long time.

It sucks that band t-shirts cost so much though. It's usually like £13 a shirt with is pretty pricey in my opinion. What I've been considering doing is just buying some plain black Fruit of the Loom shirts and then sewing patches onto them or something. Although for that to work out I'd need pretty thin patches otherwise I'll probably feel kinda weird. You can get 5 blank Fruit of the Loom shirts for like £15. Patches cost next to nothing.

Yeah....thats a big reason I don't go out buying band t-shirts. Also I didn't buy a shirt when I went to see Alice Cooper and I'm more than likely not going to buy one when I see Black Sabbath because I can not afford to buy like a $40 t-shirt.

That would be really weird o.O
This reminds me. I've been meaning to get a jacket and some patches and putting the patches ON the jacket ._. Although at the moment I only own 2 Metallica patches. One of the Metallica logo and the other for Fixxxer ._. (both cost like 50 cents)

Best decision Megadeth could ever take.

I have a black bomber jacket that I wear a lot of the time (not much during summer actually) and I have a Motorhead patch sewn on the back at the bottom of my neck. Kinda hard to explain but hopefully that makes sense. It looks pretty cool.

I also have an Exploited mohawk skull patch that I've been meaning to sew on at some point, but not sure where to put it.

Yeah it made sense.
Though now that I think of it I DO have 2 denim jackets in my room....though my dad gave em to me and I don't think he'd be too enthused to see that I covered em in patches and whatnot. Also I've been wanting to take a denim jacket and dye it green and put patches for Stoner, Doom, and Stoner Doom bands on it and replace the buttons on it with ones with little pot leaves on em if I can find some, haha.

You could put it on your sleeve or something.

That would be the most amazing jacket ever!

I know right!? I really need to make this. Though I may have some issues finding patches around here....

eBay has tons. And since I live in the UK, I bet the selection in the US is 100x better. Most of them are pretty cheap too. Although some sellers charge a fortune for patches of popular bands or patches that they claim are official.

It doesn't even need to be crossover thrash. I like thrash metal in general. Particularly the big 4, although with Metallica I tend to limit myself to their first two album. After those albums I think they started to tame their sound a bit and I didn't like it as much.

As for crossover thrash...

Carnivore
Vio-Lence
Wehrmacht
DRI
Cro-Mags
Holier Than Thou?

And as far as thrash in general...

Coroner
Vektor
early Kreator
Annihilator's first two albums
Morbid Saint
Disaster (from Chile)

more often then not I run into stuff like that^

@Sense-Offender - Thanks for that. I'll check some of them out. Although I did have a quick listen to some of them on YouTube and I tend to prefer more of the traditional thrash than crossover. Not that I dislike crossover, but a lot of it seems to have way more of a US hardcore influence than I like. When it comes to punk, I'm not really into the US stuff at all, especially when it comes to hardcore. Much prefer UK hardcore.

Also, those albums I ordered arrived today and this guy kept them in immaculate condition. Pretty sure a few of these have never even been used. The CDs are spotless and the cases barely have a mark on them. He said he was selling off his 1,500 CD collection but when I found his eBay page he was down to like the last 50. I snatched up a lot of the thrash albums and the rest were all stuff like Neil Young.

Well chuffed with these though. It has actually inspired me to get back into buying CDs again. I've never been a fan of buying digital copies of music, or any form of media, as I like to have physical discs that I can keep around. Plus, my Hi-Fi system can play music A LOT louder than my laptop can, so CDs are better for me in that regard.

I should get some S.O.D. myself but that's a good range of CDs you picked up Dean! I've been slow with getting metal albums lately but I've been putting my money to other things as well as saving money so music has sadly taken a bit of a backseat. And besides, my sister is getting more albums than I am right now so I'm mostly relying on her at this point. :P

Yea, they were a pretty good band. Speak English Or Die is a fantastic thrash album. Their albums are a little pricier than I'd have imaged, although I don't pick up many CDs so it's hard to compare the price to other albums. I just had to get a copy of it on CD which is what led to me picking up all this other stuff too.

I know how that is. I'm still between finishing university and finding a job, so I'm trying not to fritter away money until I have an income. Sometimes temptation gets the better of me though.

If you ever want more thrash recs, let me know.

Peace Sells, eh? One of the best thrash albums of all time, IMO.

It's good, but it's not quite as good as I remembered it being. Maybe I'll need to re-listen to it but I think as a whole preferred Youthanasia. Although having said that Peace Sells is one of my favourite Megadeth songs. Want to get a copy of Rust In Peace though. I don't listen to Megadeth too often but it was always my favourite album of theirs.

I forgot just how amazing Metallica's Kill 'Em All is. I'm not a huge fan of Metallica's albums that came after Ride The Lightening, but those first two album are amazing. Speaking of Ride The Lightning, it's on my "wishlist" of CDs to get, along with Anthrax' Spreading The Disease.

I consider both Rust in Peace and Peace Sells to be among the bst thrash albums if all time, along with some of Coroner's albums, Annihilator's first two albums, Morbid Saint's album, Extreme Aggression by Kreator, and some others.

Check it out. Somebody used My Empty Room by Queensryche for their shitty CC flash.

Not that you'll be able to make out what the CDs are or anything, but my brother had a spare CD rack so thought I'd put it to use. They were previously being stored elsewhere and it was a little hard to access them. The rack is much better for storing them but I'm always paranoid that it's going to badly scratch up the cases when I take them out or put them back in place. That's the majority of my CDs but not all of them.

Still, looks a lot better having a rack of CDs there compared to how it was before. I had an old desktop PC with junk piled on it sitting where the rack is. Room looks considerably cleaner because of that one little change. Downside is that the mess of cables has become visible :P

So I finally got a copy of Master Of Reality today.
But they screwed up the times for the tracks on the case and it says that Solitude is 8 minutes long and Into The Void is only 3.

What is it with that album that they just can't get it right? On my copy they switched the names of Embryo and Children of the grave. I would love a 5 minute version of Embryo though...

Woo! I just got back from seeing Black Sabbath! :D It was awesome! Though I had to sit through Andrew W.K. doing DJ stuff for like an hour....he DID shoot Black Sabbath shirts out into the crowd though.

me and my sister kept calling him DJ WK all the time before we arrived >.>

I also got what I'm pretty sure was beer splashed on me during Black Sabbath's set. And now I have a fucking headache because of a mix of REALLY loud music and this dude behind me would not stop shouting "YEAH" and "FUCK YEAH" at weird times during both Andrew W.K. and Black Sabbath's stuff.

It would be pretty awesome if there was a 5 minute version of Embryo.

Red Fang are now having pre-orders for their new albums Whales And Leeches. And apparently if you order either the Deluxe CD Edition (which contains 2 extra songs) or one of the deluxe vinyl editions will include expanded packaging and a 3-D lenticular moving cover. Needless to say I ordered the Deluxe Edition as soon as I found out they were available.

Also they released the tracklisting and a trailer with part of a new song off the album too.
1. DOEN
2. Blood Like Cream
3. No Hope
4. Crows In Swine
5. Voices Of The Dead
6. BehinD The Light
7. Dawn Rising
8. Failure
9. 1516
10. This Animal
11. Every Little Twist

Bonus Tracks:

12. Murder The Mountains
13. Black Water

Heres what the lenticular looks like.
I wish we could upload gifs that are over 200k....

They are both amazing albums indeed (Not counting the lousy remasters...). And yes, Morbid Saint's album is absolutely amazing. I do not own any other of the albums you've listed. I feel that Thrash Metal along with Doom Metal are probably the metal genres I know the least.

It took me like 16 hours but I finally realized that I screwed up the link.
Here is the trailer for the new Red Fang album.

So my fucking computer isn't recognizing my older external hard drive so now I can't play a very large chunk of the music on my computer at the moment til that gets taken care of.
I should have transferred it all over to my new external hard drive. But nooooo I had to keep it all on the old one even though my new one is a 2 Tb and the old one is like a 300 Gb.

So it seems to be absolutely impossible to download any of the three albums by Altar of Plagues on the Internet. FML.

ISIS - Dulcinea

Anyone hear about Geezer Butler possibly leaving Black Sabbath after they finish their tour?

In regards to this (to anyone who cares) if Geezer leaves would you prefer if Black Sabbath did:
a. Stop doing stuff as Black Sabbath, go out (somewhat) on top, and Ozzy went back to doing his solo stuff.
b. Keep going as Black Sabbath and get someone to try replacing him.
c. If Ozzy and Tony want to keep touring have em tour as "Osbourne & Iommi".

Well, it's not like Black Sabbath has never existed without him. Even though he's the most important bassist the band ever had, if he decides to leave... than I think Osbourne and Iommi could legitimately keep on going as Black Sabbath.

I suppose you're right about that. And he has been out of Black Sabbath more than once.
Though I think hes the best lyricist Black Sabbath ever had.

You could have asked "Is it desirable to have a Black Sabbath without Butler?" though :P The answer could be a little different :)
