Well, that's Heavy Metal 2017 A.D.

Unfortunately, yes.

One of the requirements for booking Cirith Ungol is also booking Night Demon. Simple as that.

What I don't get is the habit of traveling all over the world to see the same three bands, when they could also catch them back home a few months later.

It's as dead as Dio. It's like the Blues, surviving on festival appearances & dragging out has-beens from the past (no matter how good or bad). Look at most reunion bands that decide to continue recording. Most break up again straight after because their new records don't sell & aren't appreciated/liked. It's a vile retro culture for millenials who wanna belong to this so called "golden age" & for recently-divorced types who wanna relive their youth. It's embarrassing.

Here's one for you then

I think you are being too critical. The night demon guy has the right chops for C.U..
lol

I probably won't need an onion for that.

Ok, so Mr. Leatherby used to play in a rhythm and blues band. So what? Do you have to breathe, eat and shit metal 24/7 for your entire life to be tr00 enough to play with CU?

It's Mr. Hershey and yes you need to shit metal to play in CU. Absolutely.

Just for the record, Jarvis is the biggest piece of shit I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with in the metal scene. He's the biggest phony I've ever met in my life. He's constantly fucked up on coke, makes promises and never follows through with them or forgets what he said entirely, has a total undeserved rockstar atitude, totally fucked my band on more than one occasion. I had to be pulled away from knocking his stupid drugged-out ass off the stage last year. That's on top of his band being overrated derivative garbage. A friend of mine tried to get him to sign a CD at a show recently, he was so fucked up that he just moved the pen around in circles like 5 inches over the CD and never actually signed it. He's a fucking idiot and a massive poser.

I mainly post my rips & remasters of my tapes. Just sharing the good stuff.

I doubt that most of the registered people are here because they follow every shitty new metal release like mad. And anyway, forget the forum, just look at the reviews and the features that are uploaded on the main site. Hardly what you'd call 'recent stuff'.

This thread has really lost it's way, and i hold my hands up that i was one of those who derailed it originally a few pages back.
Disappointing that a thread on The Corroseum about Cirith Ungol reforming should descend into petty bickering and negativity.
Not seen the likes of this since the (whisper it) great WASP debate/debacle of 2012 (or thereabouts).
I remember when this was all green fields...

Was it ever established if WASP were posers / false metal or not?
