[quote name="Void"]I don't care how David dresses or how he is called in his other band.
He used to be one hell of a frontman in MA, nowadays I think HE is the only one into it... even with his not-called-for speeches between songs (imo). Atleast he's moving about the stage and putting some performance into the whole MA stage act. Thor is a good guitarplayer and probably a really nice hard-on bearer, but his stage presence is fucking boring. We all know Trey used to bang his head like a mofo and be very present on stage in the young years, and that logically went down a bit. IMO he always had this kind of vibe and energy around him on stage, even if he wasn't headbanging or whatever. But nowadays, even that's missing.[/quote]
Interesting take Void. From the videos I have seen of Thor I tend to agree. I have read several others comments that he is a really cool person to meet, but stage presence-wise he just doesn't move much. I don't think he is as old as they are, but hell, that could be it. Granted it is only one show, but that Scion showing has me nervous, but either way, I will go see them. Swear by Cthulhu himself I will drive to freaking Tampa if I have to.
In a way I am gald to see David back as that is the lineup I am most used to it is just a very different presence when I look at shows prior to the split and then his coming back. And not trying to knock the outift, but I am about to
When I first saw that shirt I swear to Beavis he had used duct tape to make the pentagram
[quote name="Maze"]According to a interview I read or heard by Trey or David, Tony just disapeared basically. He didn't tell the band or anything, just disapeared.
Well, you have some good points here Conservative_Heretic. In my opinion, David is a great bandleader and a great frontman. Around A, B and C-days he was certainly very creative and had very good points and intresting views, he is a very clever man. And to me early Morbid Angel (88-95) was like a compromised brainchild of David and Treys. Their genius ideas met halfway and created all this great music and lyrics. There was certainly alot of chemistry between them. And thens something happened after Covenant (Or even before? who knows?), they started to float away from each other, and get more into, what they've always been into. And the result of this is Domination and Formulas. Domination is dominated by David Vincents lyrics (Wich is very unliked by Trey), and Formulas is dominated by Treys ideas and spiritual beliefs (Wich apparantly wasn't so popular for David) He could now do it 100% the way he wants, with the great frontman Steve Tucker. To me, Steve Tucker was like a Pete Sandoval no. 2 on Formulas. He did it the way Trey wanted it to be done. And I don't really know whats going on right know, I get the feeling that both David and Trey is very inspired and ready-to-go. I appreciate his return more than ever, and I have nothing against his clothes or anything.[/quote]
Thanks Maze. That is interesting about Tony. I met him via eBay. Bought a shirt he used to wear on tour. Did not beleive it was him so told him to send a picture with a pose giving the finger and horns in a particaular way. Got the picture back and it was him
He was one energetic mutherfucker so I was curious as to why he was gone.
I am hoping it is inspired. I have not heard a good quality recording of Nevermore, but from what I have heard it is catchy.
And to your point about the gulf developing that is exactly how I saw it lyrically. David seemed more "satanic" whereas Trey seemed to defintely go more for the Cthulhian / ancient Sumerian concepts. I think that is why Formulas really raised my eyes. The Sumerian civilization fascinates me to no end, but that is a discussion for another day.
It makes no differnce in his playing style but goddamn I was used to seeing him with long blonde locks, black fatigues, fucking combat boots and just fucking evil looking. Now it is more like a pinup doll from a far gone era that is trying to be scary but cannot remember what it means to be, which as just himself was pretty fucking scary to begin with. And I do say all this with love, no dis-respect intended if your're reading this Evil D
[quote name="lavaBorn"]Being with nader sadek, Tucker is composing a alot, even if his not even playing the bass.
he composed some track with MA, but in it he has to put the "morbid angel" feel.
now he can make death metal putting all of his own feelings[/quote]
This album I cannot wait to hear as the bit of listening I have done makes me even more curious as to why he had left since it is nice and heavy and good sound. Anywho.
Great feedback from everyone
I don't get the hair, I don't get being called Evil-D, and I REALLY don't get the vinyl shirts.
