From wrekage events page. Not sure about Testament live, but definitely looking forward for Overkill and F&J.

Is there any really good F&J? Most of what I've heard was decidely third tier. I'm sure it was great for the hometown crowd, but it never did much for me - and I've tried over and over. Maybe it was just the wrong time and place for me or maybe it's just kinda dull...

Yep, the first 2 Flots albums are great (Doomsday for the Deceiver & No Place for Disgrace), and When the Storm Comes Down is pretty decent despite the tinny production (complete with pre-St. Anger shit snare). They considerably became more "traditional" post these albums to my ears, but when they are good, they are awesome.

That's about where I am, too. I never listen to DftD much because of that hideous cover the Elton John song. Leave that out and it's a good record. Nothing else they ever did could touch it?Knucklehead wrote:I haven't listened to No Displace for Disgrace in years, but I remember being disappointed when it came out. I should probably trot that one out and give it another listen.
Doomsday for the Deceiver, on the other hand, is a classic.

That hideous cover of the Elton John song is on No Place for Disgrace, and is one of the main reasons that I never listened to it much.badcarburetor wrote:That's about where I am, too.

DftD, though, is solid all the way through. Plus, it showcases some incredible bass playing by Newsted. Apparently, he forgot all about it when he took his next job.
Just skip over the Elton John cover. No Place For Disgrace has some great songs that shouldn't be ignored just because of the one song.Knucklehead wrote:That hideous cover of the Elton John song is on No Place for Disgrace, and is one of the main reasons that I never listened to it much.badcarburetor wrote:That's about where I am, too.
