I guess it comes down to the same old scenario for 80s Voivod fans with high expectations. We're all just waiting for them to produce another KT, Hatross or Nothingface.
Those albums for many of us epitomise the Voivod sound and ethos. That period in time was when the band seemed to be the most focused in the way they crafted their albums.
Perhaps creatively they were at their peak - It's a pretty mean task to follow up a masterpiece like Nothingface, and I think the closest they got was with Phobos after that initial era. There are highlights on all post 80s albums, but as a whole they never seemed to gel as well.

Anyway, It's easy to sit back and be judgemental as a fan - but well, that's kinda what fans do
We love em, warts and all tho hehe

This topic has pretty much been dreailed too :P
Yes, more touring! - I suspect they will never reach New Zealand tho, but I hope the European fans get a break

I agree with ya, Hatross, about VV making music for THEMSELVES which I think is great and the most important thing for them. That's what I especially thought about the last album. They went in, had fun, jammed, wrote some cool tunes, which to us was a departure from what most expected VV to sound like, but I would bet that they had more fun making that album than they had in a long long time, and I think it's what they needed.

I like it and still play it a lot. As usual I'm in the minority here, but I usually end up liking the majorities least favorite album in most bands discographies.

yeah honest opinions always suck!!

hmm, the clues are all there aren't they, obviously Syl Disjonk is Away, & judging by that huge plate of sausages a while back, Luna is really Piggy... I am St Jason ..I mean, fuck it, I've been rumbled anyway.. Snake ?? any suggestions?? Mezcalhead?

I still listen to the last album anyway, I don't dislike it.

Head Villain, as a newbie, I think you haven't been warned of all the celebrities that are on the VVF forum.

Please note that Warcorpse is actually Cronos from Venom (so avoid badmouthing them), that Slaytanic is actually Tom Araya from Slayer (although he'll make you believe he's a brazilian Richard Marx fan) and that the person known as Blacky isn't the Blacky from Voivod, but Blacky Lawless from WASP. You know Lawless, he's doing that only to get attention.

Yeah fair enough, it is good that they can do this!
I draw stuff I want to draw then, I get told, can I draw some butterflies & fairies instead please because that's what the public wants.
I am reduced to selling out, old whorebag that I am, & it does suck a bit.

Notice how less bitchy I am being since seeing that pic of Away in his shorts wahay come to mama!!!!

I very much doubt this makes any difference to album sales. If it did, I am certain they would bother to post here sometimes. Even if only to tell us our opinions suck & we are a bunch of nobodies blah etc & to stop bloody whingeing we suck etc etc we're all so bad childish crap blah etc & should be all tarred with the sme brush, cunts that we are etc etc.

It is really cool that Eric & Blacky can still be bothered with us though, thanks guys!!!!! You rule!!!

ok just so there is no confusion on my words there, it was quite the opposite if you precieved it wrong?
i was totally defending the VOD there by saying they have (not) sold out and I know they never will.

rrROOOAAARRrr !

btw: HV i tell you i would love to see some Flash art in the voivod spirit on your site, i would snag it all.

thanx!! have to be careful putting my flash on cos I'm trying to sell it so would have to have watermark across it, & right-click disabled, etc unfortunately tattooists always steal flash from websites, that's why it's only just large enough to be viewable on my site. I would rather have put bigger pictures on, but there's always some way these fuckers wil thieve it!!
I see what you meant! I can accuse them of selling out, but they could always say the same about me, trying to pander to the demands of the public!
If I was in a band & my millionaire best mate wanted to join, I wouldn't say no either!!!so there!!
still prefer Phobos though
& it goes without saying, I can't wait to hear the next album, I reckon it will be loads better!
