I thought this was in reference to the band Power Trip who's singer unfortunately died a couple years ago. It's too bad it isn't. They were so good.

Yeah, I got pretty excited there for a second... Same time though, I don't think I'd want to know what Axl would sound like doing Executioners Tax. Or Ozzy. Or Hetfield. Or Maynard...

RIP Riley.

Oof yeah that would sound rough. I'm not into newer Metallica and Maynard is excellent, but not the right voice at all.

My first thought too. There was something about how they captured that old school thrash sound and evergy that modern thrash doesn't do for me.

Log and Kreator just did a new collab to recently to benefit a charity in his name

That's what I was thinking! Do we know what happened to Riley Gale? I don't recall anyone ever following up on it.

Toxic effects of fentanyl. Damn that is rough to hear.

That sucks! Fentanyl is a menace and until the government comes up with a solution to it, I can't imagine how anyone would be comfortable with any drugs not directly sourced through a pharmacy.

It really is. I think that during the development and subsequent release of any drug there should be an independent process of studying the drugs effects.

Opioids were sold as non-addictive, this could have been proven incorrect well before the drugs reached the market if we had a system which audited and verified the drug trial process.

Of course this could not happen with every drug, there's solutions to that.

I thought of the album powertrip by monster magnet. One of my favorites since I was 13.
