Those the electronics that came with the kit??

Having also shared playing thrash during that time period. Grunge wrecked it....

I agree with him. I've refused so far doing on a lap top. I understand hearing the air...I've heard it. The new.metal is lacking soul man. I'm more of a punk or grunge artist but there are imperfections. I'm human

Correct

i think tom is makin that guy a bit nervous ??.. HA

i always like how easy it is to play celtic frost stuff, and im horrible at guitar, but it still sounds good. its a good example of how you can keep it simple and still come up with something spectacular.

Tom has absolutely no reason to apologise for his view.It's so refreshing to hear an opinion that I not only totally agree with but one put across so succinctly.

Tom G Poser, Cold Lake, hairspray and makeup will NEVER be forgotten and never be forgiven

komisch... ich wollte mir auch so diesen Bausatz kaufen, jedoch stand da, das es nicht möglich ist nach Europa zu schicken???

Everybody’s old now

The younger gen will not understand this.

Flashback. I was 13 in 1984, growing up in rural Ohio and I used to record the local college radio station on my Realistic dual-cassette boombox every saturday from 11 pm to 2 am because they had a metal show. The only time you really heard metal on the radio besides maybe Ratt, Quiet Riot, ACDC, Twisted Sister, and Def Leppard. Then later I would make crappy sounding mix tapes of the songs I had recorded that I liked lol. But it was great because it was underground music that I couldn't just go buy at Kmart. One night the DJ played "Into Crypts of Rays" and "Procreation of the Wicked", then he apologized for it on the air lol. I thought it was really great and listened to it a lot but I didn't catch the name of the band until I found it a few years later. Soon afterwards I first heard Metallica Fight Fire, Ride the lightening, Creeping Death, Slayer Hell Awaits😮. This new metal coming out at the time was incrediblly heavy and unlike anything I'd heard before. It was great back then because people were like, "what the fuck is this weird creepy music??", and you felt like some kind of weirdo for loving it. Celtic Frost were wayyyy out front of the rest with their sound and innovation. Tom Warrior invented the "death grunt".

For me, metal exists from 1970 to 2001.

🤘👹

What does he look like without a hat?

I will say this about Hellhammer/early CF, it destroys all those tech death wankery bands. Sure, those bands are more musically proficient, but will never match the power and intensity of bands like Venom, Slayer, Bathory, Possessed and of course Hellhammer and early CF.

Love this guy all his bands don’t get enough credit for having a major part in the making of black metal and managed to put doom and thrash in it

Absolutely on point

that was a GREAT interview, imagine if it were Lars Ulrich answering those questions? millions of people would have slit their wrists

Tom, I agree with you. I'm 64 and a proud metalhead. A lot of music these days is BPM and speed. I miss the days of analog recordimg and tube amps.

I agree completely… but I’m the same age as Tom

The stupid dumb face of the interviewer is unmatchable 😂. It's like Tom is talking to a robot. Poor guy has no idea what Heavy Metal is.

I love Tom 👊🤘🤘 Celtic frost, so amazing 👊🤘🔥one of my heroes

Tom G Warrior is a Poser he don't listen too No Brutal Metal.. Genre jumper he's been doing it for years..

He say this, while he was the one whom abandoned the raw sound of Hellhammer and opted for the polished Celtic Frost! (which i still like but not as much as HH). But i do agree to a point with what he've said. An example would be Mgla and their most famous record "Excercises in Futility" which made them famous even to people not fans of the genre of metal, but to me it's my least favourite from their whole catalog, precisley because of how polished it sounds and how monotone the vocals are compared to their previous records, even though the songwriting itself is superb.

Totally agree with him

To Mega Therion is a great great piece of Art and it will never repeat in the fuc*** history of heavy music.

Tom is so honest...so fuckin honest,and true and loyal ...brings me to tears,I´m trying to play my similiar stuff but nobody uderstads,don¨t give damn what is the majority thinkin´ about.. just doin where my soul leads me ....whatever the majority thinks .....straid forward !!! AND WE KNOW WHAT THE DIRT IS !! DIRT IS ACTUALLY SOUL PRESENTATION OV PURITY

He looks like Ozzy in the thumbnail

This applies to most genres of music

Thats it I swear perfection kills it ! Thats why I liked bands like Pentagram, Celtic Frost etc.

Only honesty like in TGW can speak such truths and remain undaunted.

My problem with the underground scene is the fact that a lot of the bands' main style is throwback or just paying tribute. I mean, nothing wrong to acknowledge your influences, but to do it every song just makes your music sound even more stale. This is the main reason why I got tired of all those “Motörpunk” bands or some of the newer black/speed bands

He's 100% correct and I have huge respect for Tom G. There's no danger involved in this music anymore, no passion and not giving a shit if you fall on face and fuck up a solo. Actually a lot of heavy metal music back then did have a lot to do with jazz in my opinion, the music was much more freer than it is now and what went wrong has a lot to do with the advent of digital recording. Tape was expensive and you couldn't afford to do take after take, so improvisation and leaving artifacts in the mix were the norm and usually that is all for the better. Now it takes several years for bands to release albums...

Very true regards to what he stated with old school heavy metal scene these days (for the most part). Other factor most (young) music listeners don't take time, searching for those hidden modern metal bands still carrying the torch. Playing, recording "old school style" heavy metal music. Hidden in the vast streaming music sea. Lost in the mix with millions of other bands & artists streaming their music on Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.

well done Tom for saying it like it is , I remember a time when you had tape trading and fanzines, now its downloads and Facebook !!!

The same for me, thats why I try to record songs in least takes possible. But covers have to be played as good as it is possible.

🆙

I absolutely love this man

Absolutely agree with him. The energy, rage and aggression is gone. Cant listen to modern metal bands either.

Dork

This is the real deal!

Well spoken words that speak truth

Tom hit the nail perfectly. 80s was absolute pure and agressive.

That is true. Rock and Roll and Heavy Metal should be and was rebellion against Status Quo and everyday mondaine things. The excitement and danger element is gone. All those new band are lame and boring...

come back and show the kids how its done. i remember the 80's metal scene it was rich, chaotic and beautiful. it wasn't just ratt and motley crue it was also celtic frost, venom, entombed and testament. i think today we need the old Guard more then ever, don't be the old guy shacking fist at clouds, be the wise master teaching the young knights of metal. we need you guys still.

I agree completely. I’m not as old as him but I’m 42 and have been a metal head since I was 11. Started playing guitar at 16 and have written my own music off and on over the years. All my music is flooded with mistakes but I don’t care. It’s honest and real. Metal, or music in general, isn’t supposed to be perfect. I listen to older records more then anything modern as well. The production is minimal and the raw energy is present in all those old 70’s and 80’a albums. I can’t stand the over production in todays metal. Not saying there isn’t a lot of good talent out there today because there definitely is. Todays music just doesn’t move me the way older music does. Not just metal but all music.

Political correctness killed metal. Slayer, Type o Negative, Mayhem, Marduk and so many other bands wouldn't have a chance to develop in today's modern-day liberal fanaticism.

He's not wrong. Some of the absolute best albums, songs, riffs and drumbeats were a bit sloppy by today's standards. When bands were pressured to keep studio time to a minimum and there were no shortcuts - some great work was caught on tape with the emotion intact. When musicians who didn't have the intricate chops to shred or time-perfect drumming - they had to compensate with killer songwriting and passion. THAT is metal imo.

He's right
