Well, the singer is fat, slow and his voice is shit compared to the one he used to have. I don't mind watching a singer that cannot sing anymore and has to ask for help from the audience to sing along because he cannot handle even one song by his own! Enough said.
Cool, give them a few listens, it takes a while to sink in (as all new music does!) but I think they are really realllllly good. They have steve smyth playing for them too now (ex testament and nevermore guitarist, allround badass!), hopefully a new record will spawn from this its a shame they never got the credit they deserved for their early work, Twisted into form I think is one of the best thrash albums EVER, they just got very very unlucky, lets hope they get the return they deserve like
totally agree! Testament got into the metalscene before forbidden, when trash was up and coming. I guess they got there too late...you know the grunge history..
its a known common with most of the original thrash metal singers nowadays, its either they gain weight or they tend to lose vocal strength or both. Look at chuck billy, man he's a massive giant. no matter what, all the respect for these people that is
Man, bout 2x as fast as the original! Great to see these pioneers still at it. As far as the vocals and what-not, give em a break, these mfers are facing retirement and still bashing in heads!!! I took a chance on them back in the 80's in Recordland and never looked back.
Fucking miss these guys! Completely underated. Has more to do with the record companies trying to shove that ghetto nigger shit down everyones throats than give a talented band like this the chance and backing they deserved!
Yeah, if you listen close you will here Craig taking some of the vocals on the song that he never did before. A sign that something was up with Russ.
I never noticed, but yeah he must have snapped a string. It makes it obvious when listening close that, at least on this song, Craig is providing the dominant rhythm guitars tones.
FORBIDDEN will always rule no matter what!!! All these shows were people finally f**kin' bugging them to reunited for shows b/c everyone is fed up with Nu-Metal junk. It's about time they get to do it the way it should have been done in the late 80's and 90's. They kicked more ass that Metallica did through that whole era in only 3 albums.
russ has had health issues, and doing this shows his strength.. he is a great vocalist BAY AREA THRASH LEGENDS FORBIDDEN COME TO RENO. NV MAN DOWN PRODUCTIONS AND BONELESS RECORDS PRESENT....... FORBIDDEN BOMB AND SCARY AND KUT PILE (2 MORE BANDS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON) SUNDAY MAY 29TH AT THE NEW OASIS RENO SPARKS! MORE TO COME SOON!
the instrumental is flawless,I don't know what butchering you're talking about. Russ needs to lose some weight,hopefully that has to do with his voice...
Main acts are indeed far from impressive. But heck, Lamb of God, Devil Driver, Anthrax, Legion of Damned and Dream Theater are for me already a reason to go. And Lacuna Coil, Mastodon and Disturbed are bands I also wanted to see live anyways when I get the chance :P
:P everyone has other ideas about great pit music;) but slipknot is not music for 13 year olds dX thats clear, and you have to agree that the have very aggressive music:P what is in your opinion the best pit music? ok lamb of god and slayer are better kinds of music for it ;) but what do you think
Shit, the singer can't do the high pitchings anymore, that sucks! maybe too much joints and too much beer for so many years, this song without the pitching at the end loses his Big Ending. Shit!!! Anyway, Forbidden f...rules!
Ha ha! That bald guy in the Forbidden T-shirt going apeshit 2 minutes in is me :D That's awesome, my favourite riff of my favourite song by my favourite thrash band!
And the guys slagging the singer, give him a break, this was the tenth day they'd been gigging in a row and that takes it out of a singer! Yes, he's lost the high notes but he doesn't do too bad... and surely a wolrd with Forbidden in it is much better than a world without them...
I love Russ
