Overkill seem to be "overlooked" a lot in the metal genre, but they've been very consistant. Aside from a bunch of stupid lyrics in some songs, they have always managed to produce some shredding releases. I'm gonna have to track down the new live dvd, I think it should be out now...or soon.

Is there a better on going theme than the "Overkill" songs (parts I - II - III - E.vil N.ver D.ies)that graced the first 4 albums? Nah!!!

I used to have Overkill's shirt: We Don't Care What You Say--Fuck You
I was 15 and my mom performed one of those room-raids that you only see in juvenile jail on TV and threw it away, along with Dio-Last in Line, Slayer-Root of all Evil (fuck I miss that shirt!), Exodus-Cannibal Bar and Grill. Her only excuse was that they were disgusting. No shit!!!

If COC didn't change their style from their early hardcore sound they would not be around today. There's only so much you can do before you become redundant when you pigeon-hole your band into playing hardcore. I'm not saying I don't like it (cause I do)but it's very limited (IMHO) as to how far you can take it before it all sounds the same.

My mom would just never wash my Iron Maiden shirts, and I've have to seek them out in the basement and ask her why she didn't wash them. Well, of course it was because she thought they were the DEVIL's band and she didn't want to see me wearing them. I then did my own laundry so I could wear the DEVIL's clothes!!! I love my Mom!!!

Having a few friends over for some beer's later and needed to Sweep the place with my German dustsucker. These are looping in Winamp at the moment:
Destruction: Bestial Invasion
Venom: Speed King, Deep Purple cover
Voivod: Macrosolutions to megaproblems
Confessor: Collapse into despair
Celtic Frost: Into the crypt of rays
Confessor: Uncontrolled
Obituary: The end complete
Confessor: Alone

And it makes this shitty business a real pleasure

Oh man. All this talk about mothers and metal shirts has brought back a memory that only now is becoming funny to me. Back when I was 13, I saw the Scorpions on the 'Love at First Sting' tour (Bon Jovi opened! Ooh! Wasn't I lucky?). Anyways, I brought home a Scorps tour shirt with the image from the new album on it, the one where the guy is giving the lady a tattoo, and her boob is hanging out. I came home, threw the shirt over my chair in preperation to wear it to school the next day, and went to bed. When I got up the next day, the shirt was gone. I ran to Mom and asked what the hell was up, and she handed me my shirt. After putting it on, I realized that she had taken a black marker and filled in the boob. I ended up never wearing it.

I do have this cool Satyricon shirt with the text 'Natural Born Misanthrope' but here in Holland no one seems to know what the word 'Misanthrope' means. I have to explain every time.

My mother doesn't know either. Also she doesn't like my Possessed and Morbid Angel shirts.

NP: Devin Townsend - Terria (beautiful album!)

For the Record: I love my mom too (now at least!) Even to this day she won't admit she threw the shirts away or gave them to charity (seeing poor immigrants kids walking around in old metal concert T's is always funny). She just says she doesn't know what happened to them

Anyways it's nice to know that we all lived through our teenage traumas dealing with controversial clothing!

BTW keepig to the thread, I want to know what Schroeder is taking to work next!
