They are WAY better than Running Wild and Mekong Delta."<BR/><BR/>Mekong Delta have nothing to do with the Tankard crossover, it's like comparing Stravinsky to uh, beerthrash.<BR/><BR/>Running Wild were speed metal for the first two albums, and while that borders on thrash, tell me you play Branded and Exiled back to back with The Morning After and you notice any similarities. Even less comparison when they went Hamburg-power-metal. Damn it, I demand total factual accuracy from wiseasses like Metal Inquisition!<BR/><BR/>I would say that Tankard were pretty much as worthwhile as Destruction or Sodom, perhaps more fun, though.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-22743109103842028282008-04-26T18:27:00.000-04:002008-04-26T18:27:00.000-04:00What do you guys think of Static X?What do you guys think of Static X?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-12829085551692839882008-04-26T17:32:00.000-04:002008-04-26T17:32:00.000-04:00Bought the TMA album for $2 or so back in the day ...Bought the TMA album for $2 or so back in the day out of a bargin bin at the local "record store".<BR/>I still have it though haven't listened to it for YEARS!!!<BR/>Guess I'll have to dig it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-16248403334719814292008-04-26T14:32:00.000-04:002008-04-26T14:32:00.000-04:00We never get any groupies.

Admittedly too 80's to gain any new fans they were fucking excellent. <BR/><BR/>Chemical Invasion and TMA are two of the best albums of the 80's and Alien is fucking ace.<BR/><BR/>Wish I'd got to see them live. Turned up at a gig of theirs in 86 only to find it cancelled.<BR/><BR/>What amazed me was their ability to play so well whilst shitfaced. Something which Gang Green have yet to manage.<BR/><BR/>Check out the vid below of them playing Eintracht Frankfurt's club anthem before the 2006 German cup final.

Some very funny moments there and yes the fans are smelly dude with even smellier vests (I presume). At some point a fat German girl gives him a kiss before stage diving back to the audience but she probably has a very bad breath because the singer grimaces in disgust ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
