CINEMETAL: NAPALM DEATH, “WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE”

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 at 5:22pm by

Y’know what’s weird? You never really hear people asking “How can they still call themselves Naplam Death?” Why is that? Is it because right from the get-go, with Scum (possibly the only album ever to feature what ostensibly amounted to two different bands using the same name splitting the same record), the band had so many line-up changes that people have just come to accept the comings and goings of various members as de rigeur?

I dunno. I don’t really care, neither. Here’s what of the band’s more easily palatable numbers…

    How can you guys build up an awful bank like Napalm Death, who is canceling a show in CT tomorrow that my band was playing because they don’t feel like they are playing in front of enough people (not metal at all) and who also genuinely suck complete and total ass…yet on the same sight talk about how awesome A7X is and berate amazing bands like Nothingface.

    Thumbs down.

    You think MetalSucks likes Avenged Sevenfold? What the hell are you smoking?

    I think it’s fine for some bands to have a revolving door policy for every instrument. For Napalm Death I can’t tell the difference. They were awesome last Saturday with DevilDriver, no complaints from me.

    Scum: the only album so bad that half the lineup left after the recording of Side A, and the other half after Side B. :D

    I love You Suffer though. And though I’m not really into grindcore, I suppose their post-Scum stuff is respectable.

    I suspect the vast majority of their fans didn’t start with “Scum”. I’ve been a huge ND fan since the very first time I heard them in 1990. The “Grindcrusher” mix tape sold me on ‘em immediately. I found out soon afterward that Shane was the only guy that played on “Scum”, half of it really. Did I care? Then or now? No.

    There sure are a lot of elitists out there.
