[@philanselmosboxers]

Dream guests: Vinnie from Merauder - He wrote all the lyrics and most of the music for Master Killer Bob Riley - Stigmata frontman and hardcore historian. Would love a Troycore deep dive episode with him regaling the chaos that was the 90s Troy NY scene. LONGSHOT but Stephen Bessac from Kickback - Hearing stories about Kickback's insane live shows and all the debauchery surrounding that band would be unreal.

[@Landlord0fTheFilthy]

Hearing Colin talking about Brodie king gives me chills because I learned about God's Hate from my love of wrestling and Brody being my absolute favorite I remember the on going joke in the wrestling community was he was the Big Tommy END (Malakai black ) and seeing that documentary Colin was in the beginning of it saying the exact same thing basically!!!!!

[@OTOSoundsandVisuals]

while on tour I drunkenly had portillos in Chicago and it was awesome, but didnt realize it was the og. then recently attended namm, and stood in buena park, and found that portillos. Im also sober now, so I really had a chance to soak it in. bro, the chocolate cake shake....

[@jmehntr]

Damn, just the other day I realised how much No Warning - Bad Timing sounds like Sum 41 - Still Waiting during a Suffer, Survive re-listen 😂 crazy you guys mentioned it

[@notreally-sf3df]

2:08:31 - they even did that on a same record... for "Alpha Omega", kind of... check the beginning of "See the Signs" and "Kuruksetra"... it's not like, note by note recycled... but same "leitmotifs" so to speak, and both tunes still sound very familiar after a few spins.

[@_lengthoflove]

😂 oh my god the pronunciation of jodeci

[@joaocarlosmartinramosjr9782]

I wonder if Disharmony and Gaining Purpose were considered under performer because they (metalblade) tried to fit TT into a market that are usually pure thrash metal, death metal etc and TT is beyond that, is beyond one music genre only. We've seen that happen before with bands that later got their cult status but were overlooked by the broader public and labels. Like people that I know from metal scene when first listened to TT , later became fans but during a brief period of time struggled labeling or understanding where TT belonged. I became fan since the insane and inhumane and I was like "REALLY?" with that statement by Colin. I think understanding Nuances within music genres is a natural gift by hardcore community.

[@philanselmosboxers]

I remember when Disharmony came out I was so stoked that they had embraced more metal side of things. The vocals didn't even bother me because I got what they were going for (I.E. melodic crossover from the 80s-90s like Cro-Mags, Only Living Witness, Sam Black Church,etc..) all had unconventional vocals over insanely heavy riffs. I can get how it would sound weird to the un-initiated. TT absolutely had a ton of hype leading up to Disharmony, and they still did well at hardcore centric shows but when they tried to crossover to the metal crowd is when I feel things got a bit astray. I'm glad to see TT is having a bit of a renaissance currently because they really are a unique band and paved the way in the modern scene for bringing in unconventional influence and sound.
