I'm glad that they are still touring!!! Exciter are legends.🤘666🤘

[@MofosOfMetal]

An absolute Metal Legend! I know Thrash took off and became the biggest Metal subgenre of the 80s but over the past few years I've came to really appreciate Speed Metal as something that's equally valid and has it's own style and energy. Exciter's 80s records stand toe-to-toe with ANY of the Thrash bands. I say that Thrash packs more CRUNCH, but Speed packs more PUNCH!

[@Bornintochaos-q6j]

The first metal show I ever went to was megadeth and korn opened for them back in 95 when no one knew them. I loved megadeth but didn’t know korn I was 14 and korn left a impression on me I was so high on shr00ms too haha

[@thadood4373]

Speed and trash are the same thing. Megadeth used to have a shirt around the time of Killing is my biz that said “State of the art speed metal” on the back. People obsess over sub genres too much

[@METALSCAVENGER78]

@@thadood4373 Not true, speed metal can be also heavy speed, power speed etc.

[@MofosOfMetal]

@@thadood4373 The reason Exciter are underrated is because Speed and Thrash are not the same thing, Speed was a sub-genre that was the half-way stepping stone between Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal. The problem is - after 1985/6 - Thrash dominated so much that a band like Exciter had a sound that was viewed as outdated by some. Even Metallica have payed respect to their Speed Metal roots with their newer song "Lux Æterna". Listen to the difference between that song and a song like "Battery" which is pure Thrash.

This is so awesome!!! I saw Exciter in San Diego... I believe it was 1984, and Megadeth was the opening act. The show was held in a roller rink, and there were as many punks as there were metalheads in there. I'm an "old head" and let me say that the 80's were magical years to be a young metalhead looking to find something besides lame ass hair metal. Horns up Devils!!

Exciter was my favorite metal band in '83-'84, (until we discovered Overkill in '85) I saw them on that '84 tour with Motorhead and Fate in NJ, and I was effing pissed because we got lost driving out there from LINY and ended up missing half of Exciter's set. But that's always been my problem with shows, the opening bands are often the ones I want to see the most. But man he looks old now, he's a few months younger than me but he looks old AF.
