Why in the HELL do bible Bangers come here to trash our beloved music? They obviously know they don't like metal! Must have been the Church that drew them in. Bet they won't make that mistake again!
@waitingforgod1 I was in a mood. I apologize. Believe I'm Christian? I wouldn't guess it iether. It was your comment. Again I am sorry. By the way. What's with the name. God is already here. No harm intended. Just saying. Wanna hate me? It's ok. Take care.
@myakoacc the name is a metaphor,for" waiting to die " so i can be with GOD in heaven. i dont try to hate anyone ,just understand them. have a great holiday and enjoy heavy metal like i do.
i was 14 yrs old when i used to play this song alone in my room, and ill admit...it used to scare the fuck out of me! waynes eerie vocals man....(shuddering).
@MrWhitneytraylor Welcome Welcome Welcome to the Wonderful world of unappreciated Metal!!!!!!!! We're glad you're here....Please stay awhile. I won't keep you long, I'll keep you forever.
was not sure if many fans are aware that david wayne was killed in a car crash a while back very sad day. what a great singer. this is my favorite ere of the church howe was good also but wayne is metal church
I met these guys when this disc came out at Crows Nest in Crest Hill Illinois,they all signed my poster for this album and David Wayne signed"ya gotta believe in the world!"Kurdt Vanderhoof signed my name "The Mark!!You fucking metal madman!!"I styill listen to these guys today all the time...Love it!!
@edwardprzydzial Yes I agree. Halford is overrated. He's great yes, but his lower register leaves something to be desired vs. Wayne, Dio and Bruce Dickinson. They are all much more aggressive and venemous when singing lower notes.
@ChinoBoomslang exactly it was dedicated to him shortly after his death when Metallica's tour bus skidded on European Highway E4 and he was thrown from the window and the bus flipped on him
i originally purchased this album at a fair and also bought the dark t shirt in hollywood and can remember someone coming up to me on the street, and asking if i saw one of metal church's concerts and i replied by saying no, instead of saying no, but i really wish i did. man, had i only have had the right response back then for it must have appeared to that person on the street that i was totally right out of it or very snobbish or listened to don't talk to strangers a little too much.
i replied by saying no instead of saying no but i really wish i did see metal church in concert.
i'm sure it must have been awesome. had i said it that way, i wouldn't have appeared as though i was either totally out of it or very snobbish or listened to the dio song don't talk to strangers a little too much.
@EddieVH666 Definitely agree on Overkill. These guys as well, they've got a great sense for melody not found in most thrash. I'd say the first 2 Overkill albums are really speed metal. Bobby G's leads sound very Maiden-esque.
I remember when "The Dark" first came out. My cousin was into hair metal bands and for some reason he bought this. He called me and said halfway through the first track he turned his deck off and took the tape out. I knew right then that I was going to like this album! In fact he gave me his copy for free. Thank you, cuz!
This is not my fav by metal church but it IS the song that got me into them. I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid I was like "Oh shit, I gotta have that tape!"
