I was just listening to HOTMK this morning.

I saw them open for Testament back in I'm gonna say 1989 or so in Toronto. I had never heard them before and they blew Testament off the stage. I went right out and bought HOTMK and shortly after that Gutter Ballet.

Criss was a monster player. His melody and phrasing were just so great.
 
Cool how that ending riff of “follow me” off edge of thorns was used in a couple songs prior. Really tried to find a place for it. My fav track on here is The Message/track 7. Frick jams

Saw that tour at First Ave in Minneapolis. It was Nuclear assault/Savatage/Testament. Gutter ballet tour. Place was packed.

Yes, that was it. We walked in late just as Nuclear Assault finished their last song. I'm thinking "now I have to sit through a boring band before Testament comes on". I've never been so wrong. Doc's drum kit was insane.
 
Yeah it was. They didn't have much room at all from what I remember cuz Testament backlined, and had kit on riser, so the guys really couldn't move back and forth in front of Doc's kit.

I was just listening to the YT album and instantly noticed this. It's in a few songs...

I like The Message and Metalhead.

Rap was just terrible. hahaha

I can't remember exactly how they had it set up at the Toronto show, but I know they had plenty of room. The stage at the concert hall there is pretty big.
 
What the heck is this? Unreleased songs / demos? Never heard of this one before!
