What idiots! I just found out and I’m mad as all hell… It saddens me no end, since the Frosties have been one of my top bands since 1984!!!!! However, i do think Mr. Warrior is totally pretentious- he truly believes he’s an ‘artist’, and, well, to my ears he’s just a headbanger, like the rest of us, albeit a tad more creative than your average hesher…Tom, I hope you read this, and if not, well, good riddance! But hey, let’s face it, Tom: you’re not in the same ‘artistic’ league as Brian Eno, Holger Czukay/Can, Tony Braxton or the Acid Mothers Temple. I mean, compared to all those outfits, your music’s quite ordinary, conventional, tame, and monolithic, but that’s excatly what makes it so damned special and timeless- what’s wrong with primitivism?
What’s next? Are you gonna regroup with Hellhammer and then send them packin’ because they’re just regular guys?? Hell, you’re no David Bowie! Don´t even try… As far as I know, the guys in Celtic Frost never have never been drunk or high (!!), but hey, maybe what they need is a bottle of whiskey and a handful of magic mushrooms to sort things out, in a relaxed and humane manner. Led Zeppelin stuck together for over twelve years, and they were bonafide, pretentious art-rock stars… OK, I’ll shut up- it’s just too much for me to take… Thanks for reading, anyway!

Heard the news yesterday, what a fucking shame. Saw them twice and they killed, was looking forward to new stuff…

Oh well.

Monotheist far exceeded my expectations – no, it isn’t Morbid Tales, but what is? – especially with a inactivity gap of over a decade, and they certainly crushed on tour, so what Dude Manbro said. Quit while you’re ahead and go do your evil black metal thing or death masks or whatever is feeding the hate.

Tom G.’s problem always has been a tendency of taking himself a tad too seriously. It sucks, but let’s face it, their comeback album & tour was pretty much as good as it was ever going to be for Celtic Frost, so maybe it’s best they don’t tarnish their legacy by hanging around forever.
