Authority is scared of individuals who aren’t supposed to be educated, free thinking, creative and most of all expressive.

Same fears and insecurities the authorities still have today. 🖕the police. 🤘

No, it was Troops of Tomorrow. I think I was in 7th grade.

Been waiting for this

Had a foreign exchange student from Brazil give me a tape with The Exploited on one side and Sepultura’s Arise on the other. While I was already into some thrash, I thank Humberto wherever he is now!

I tried telling that to my boss today at work. Apparently, he disagrees.🤷‍♂️

Tomorrow the homies in @fcommanders.bsky.social drop Bear 🐻. It is beyond phenomenal and you just have to check it out.

Not sure if it’s rock, metal or something else, but who really cares. This album rips.

Let me know if you’re looking forward to Bear, or something else?

Bad ass!

I used to study at the bar, while drinking and smoking cigarettes. I failed miserably, but I had a fucking blast!

Fuck that career, I can always just get another! 🤘

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 22h

Can’t wait.

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 22h

If you’re not familiar with Flagman, you got a week to fix that.

Don’t miss this release. 🔥

Day 9 Fictional band.

I hate AI. Here’s a band sponsored by Cobra Commander. How much more fictional can you be?

But they’re very real too. They are taking over NYC’s Gramercy Theater on the 11th. Snag your tickets now!

Good.

When I got this, it was all fucked up. My cousin had it and broke the headstock off, so I had to have it repaired.

If I ever get reasonably bad, rather than downright awful at the guitar, I might give it a go. But knowing everytime I miss him, I can play something, albeit shittily. 🤘

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 1d

Whole album rips. Even better live!

Maybe those puppies were Antifa?

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 1d

I almost fist fought my cousin, and my Aunt told me I’d have it over her dead body.

That was the only memory of him I wanted. The rest are in my head.

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 1d

Fuck no! 🤣

I just picked it up. I grabbed a pick and tried Raining Blood. It sounded like shit, but it does when I play guitar too.

At least I’m consistent.

Metal Institute of Thrashology @mikethrash.bsky.social · 1d

This is an Antifa banjo. 🪕 it was my Grandfathers. He learned to play in WWII and came home and toured the country

Now people like him are labelled terrorists, for standing up against fascism. I would love to literally beat a Nazi with this. It’d be the only way I would part with it, after begging
