Slapshot

I cant be the only person that wishes they would do another album. Why'd these guys call it quits?

XHonusWagnerX - 11-25-2005 at 09:00 AM

Theres never a final word with Slapshot so who knows what they will do or when they will do it of if they will do anything. You just have to kind of sit around and wait..... It sucks, but its better than knowing 100% that a band broke up and is all done.

XHonusWagnerX - 11-25-2005 at 09:59 AM

I just did this to help someone else out, but I figured I would post it here. If anyone knows anything here to be incorrect or has anything to add please let me know! Thanks!!

We havent called it quits yet but maybe I just didnt get the memo. I think we are just on hiatus for a little while. Honus is right there is never a final word with Slapshot.

Good to hear.

Voodoobillyman - 11-25-2005 at 09:23 PM

When you do release something new, it should rival 16 valve hate, that is your best work to date.

huh... you really think so? I like them all (yes even Blast Furnace... its not bad for what it is), but I think that Step on It is my favorite of all. Either that or Sudden Death Overtime.

Discipline - 11-25-2005 at 11:29 PM

Step On It.

MyOwnWay - 11-25-2005 at 11:38 PM

I'd have to go with my favorite Slapshot as being Sudden Death Overtime.

But one of my top three songs is there rendition of 'Big Mouth Strikes Again'. Chokes girgling yell in that song is unmatched by anyone. Even himself.

Hey Ed, make it happen man. I'd definitely enjoy more music.

Agreed, but sometimes I think that Back On The Map coulda been the one if it had just had a few more songs. I also think a lot of the new versions on Greatest Hits, Slashes And Crosschecks are just as good or even better than the originals. That doesn't usually happen, most of the times that bands try to recapture their "glory days" it ends up sounding horrible. A good example of this is that Suicidal Tendencies record were they redid the whole first album. A few songs on there are almost OK, but most of it is fuckin' horrible.

Anyway, Slapshot has been one of my favorites since I first heard 'em back in the late 80s, so keep it together for me, Ed, OK???

16 valve hate has always been and will always be near and dear to me, it has more to do with what was going on with me in life more so than musically comparing it to other albums.

GOLD GRILL - 11-26-2005 at 04:24 PM

I got the unconsciousness lp, i don't like it.

Its definly not their best work.... but dont let anyone judge them on Unconsciouness, Blast Furnace or Digital Warfare.

I like them all... but those are 3 of the weaker lps.

Spoiler - 11-26-2005 at 05:49 PM

I can hardly listen to blast furnace,I think it's horrible compared to any of their other releases (and what about that "wired" video for christ sake)...I still have a sealed copy of Blast Furnace that I don't care to open.
I love Sudden Death and Step on it ,but 16 Valve Hate and Olde Tyme Hardcore gets the most play on my stereo,those albums are gold.I love getting drunk and listening to Slapshot haaaahaaaaaa

I dont hate it, but I will not argue with you that its horrible compared to everything else they ever did. Especially since it was the follow up to a record as great as Sudden Death Overtime. It was just a change in dirrection for the band. Maybe if they hadnt put out Blast Furnace, 16 valve and Olde Tyme wouldnt be as good as they are.... There for I think we should all praise the mighty Blast Furnace!

Actually, I love Digital Warfare. I think it's a great album. Don't have the other two.

tireironsaint - 11-27-2005 at 02:50 PM

Agreed. I don't think there's a thing wrong with Digital Warfare. Unconsciousness was just kind of boring and Blast Furnace.....well, I think somebody was paying too much attention to the soundtracks to computer games at the time......

XHonusWagnerX - 11-27-2005 at 05:35 PM

Just to clear things up... I like Digital warfare also (hell I like some of Blast Furnace) I just understand people who think its weak compared to Step on It or Sudden Death Overtime.
