Throwdown without Keith on vocals is trash and they should just give up

anonymous 7/20/2023 10:41:45 AM

Throwdown was always trash

anonymous 7/20/2023 10:42:49 AM

The 99 out of 100 special addition lambgoat furnace fest shirts that went unsold are stoked!!!!

I would knock out bortslob during never backdoor. That clown is a mark bitch

anonymous 7/20/2023 10:59:18 AM

Never backdown*

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:06:13 AM

Their best song is the Baby Got Back cover.

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:10:39 AM

B-grade Pantera cover bands are stoked.

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:11:30 AM

Haymaker was my shit back in the day. Is that dude holding a roll of toilet paper

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:24:59 AM

Never Backdoor

gaymaker

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:32:36 AM

should change their name to Far Beyond Driven. Their later albums sound precisely like Pantera. Entirely derivative to the point of humor.

easyhateoven 7/20/2023 11:37:25 AM

Inkongudunk 57 minutes ago Throwdown without Keith on vocals is trash and they should just give up

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:49:15 AM

there was a Beyond Repair reunion show in OC with Keith a few months ago

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:12:58 PM

posers are going to act like they were around in early 00s when haymaker was hittin. get martyr AD, a perfect murder, full blown chaos, the red chord and chimaira. then i'll go. too many sissy acts to wade thru

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:13:43 PM

This band sucks so bad omg!

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:15:03 PM

posers are going to act like they were around in early 00s when haymaker was hittin. get martyr AD, a perfect murder, full blown chaos, the red chord and chimaira. then i'll go. too many sissy acts to wade thru If you listen to 2000s hardcore then you are a poser, what are you talking about??

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:16:12 PM

Ryan Downey on stage taking all the glory

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:18:59 PM

" anonymous 27 minutes ago there was a Beyond Repair reunion show in OC with Keith a few months ago" Prove it.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:20:56 PM

*That show isn't until July 28th which is part of the Indecision 30th Anniversary Show

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:21:48 PM

Dave Peters on Bass > Dave Peters on vocals.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:22:11 PM

NOW SET YOUR SELF FREE

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:23:04 PM

SET THIS SHIT OFF MOTHERf*ckERS!!!

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:28:18 PM

2002 Jim Grimes Birthday Show in Chicago. The Eighteen Visions/Throwdown/Terror/Underoath tour was in town the night before and the night of. Tour got added to the bill before the tour played The Fireside Bowl. Shit was retarded.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:33:59 PM

Drive Me Dead and You Don't Have To Be Blood are still untouchable. Get the f*ck out if you think otherwise.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:34:27 PM

All the kids who claimed to like this band are now on to other shit.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:45:37 PM

should change their name to Far Beyond Driven. Their later albums sound precisely like Pantera. Entirely derivative to the point of humor. ^Yup. And now that "Pantera" is back, these dudes are even less necessary than they already were.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:52:33 PM

The "scene" really went to shit after bands like Eighteen Visions and Throwdown changed their sound.

anonymous 7/20/2023 12:53:04 PM

I bought Haymaker when it was released. Shit slapped then and it slaps now. Keith Barney is one of the best to do it when it comes to heavy riffs/guitar tone. I would be into a new record if he took over guitar duties again and they cut all that Pantera pole-stroke session crap out.

anonymous 7/20/2023 1:52:42 PM

No thanks.

anonymous 7/20/2023 1:54:26 PM

"posers are going to act like they were around in early 00s when haymaker was hittin. get martyr AD, a perfect murder, full blown chaos, the red chord and chimaira. then i'll go. too many sissy acts to wade thru" I was around, and only nerds who were still dick hard over Hatebreed and mosh metal kids with lip piercings listened to Throwdown. Nice work outing yourself as one of the two.

anonymous 7/20/2023 1:54:49 PM

Take off your pants and bro down!

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:02:04 PM

My favorite band to drink beer too

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:19:24 PM

"Throwdown without Keith on vocals is trash and they should just give up" 100%

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:21:40 PM

This is the pantera cover band version of the band…..na no thanks

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:30:57 PM

You don't have to be bro to be bro

rick____tocchet 7/20/2023 2:34:33 PM

Are they still strGAYight edge?

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:40:38 PM

Throdown/The chariot,It dies today tour...old knitting factory big room in NYC 2005. It dies today in full mascara/shirts with ties....place was a blood bath. Throwdown comes on, moshing through the doors, it was SEX. Chariot OG lineup (best lineup) loud as HELL, no talking between songs. Slept with the guitarist "Taco" good times

anonymous 7/20/2023 2:57:22 PM

Saw Dave Peters at the beach two weeks ago. Had the body of a Simpson character now

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:22:23 PM

For myself

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:22:49 PM

For my friends

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:23:27 PM

For my family forever…..STRAIGHT f*ckING EDGE

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:43:37 PM

Throwdown at Showcase Theatre in Corona, absolutely punishing. You had to be there! Best shows, sketchy venue, great energy. Happy for you guys!

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:46:10 PM

Also, that lineup Throwdown/It Dies Today/Chariot was at Showcase…so heavy it should have been illegal. Support people or f*ck off.

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:53:09 PM

top 5 breakdowns ever coincidentally all from same era of metalcore (would know was there) martyr AD - bring out your dead throwdown -burn shadows fall - power of i and i a perfect murder - time bomb walls of jericho - all hail the dead

anonymous 7/20/2023 3:53:44 PM

nailed it ^

anonymous 7/20/2023 5:10:12 PM

Nah, dogg. The breakdown on the first Martyr song on Human Condition smokes that.

turnstile 7/20/2023 5:10:25 PM

f*ck yeah

anonymous 7/20/2023 5:59:02 PM

"SHUT UP" "f*ck you Johnson"

anonymous 7/20/2023 6:08:19 PM

"Stilleto" is the decade defining breakdown but that list is legit

anonymous 7/20/2023 6:09:04 PM

also can't have that list without Memphis

anonymous 7/20/2023 6:28:35 PM

This version of the band always sounded like a bad bury your dead coverband.

anonymous 7/20/2023 6:37:37 PM

bands only having 1 guitarist = 🌈 as f*ck

anonymous 7/20/2023 7:25:08 PM

That. Stiletto. Breakdown.

anonymous 7/20/2023 8:07:14 PM

the list is good. stiletto and memphis also good. you are all making well points. honorable mention the bled - red wedding

anonymous 7/20/2023 8:28:09 PM

Burn still hits hard - I remember watching the IDT dudes jamming on the side of the stage while they were playing the breakdown to Vendetta pre-release. Had to be there…

anonymous 7/20/2023 8:39:59 PM

I'm here for the gay nudez.

anonymous 7/20/2023 9:50:07 PM

Im here for 40 year olds waxing poetic over open e chug

anonymous 7/20/2023 10:13:02 PM

God Forbid - Force Fed breakdown. My bandana was fierce.

anonymous 7/20/2023 11:13:51 PM

Perfect. I can't wait to crowd kill everyone who breaks edge in front of me when they play their set.

anonymous 7/21/2023 1:39:43 AM

I'd rather Mark Choinier do a Risk Taken reunion.

anonymous 7/21/2023 4:27:41 AM

More like 5 gayest breakdowns

anonymous 7/21/2023 6:00:56 AM

^ don't talk metalcore, you weren't at SoTU. it's not your "thing"

anonymous 7/21/2023 6:15:34 AM

^shut ya face Devin "strapping young jock strapp."

anonymous 7/21/2023 6:20:21 AM

Bet the only reason this happened was to spite the Beyond Repair shows

anonymous 7/21/2023 7:39:03 AM

Throwdown without Keith on vocals is trash and they should just give up.<---- there already is one Godsmack, the world does Not need another one. Dave Peters eater would stand to differ.

anonymous 7/21/2023 9:09:05 AM

" anonymous 15 hours ago Nah, dogg. The breakdown on the first Martyr song on Human Condition smokes that."

anonymous 7/21/2023 9:20:16 AM

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aNfUaRx_0Fs&t=392s&pp=ygUcVGhyb3dkb3duIGNrdWIga3JvbWUgbmogMjAwMQ%3D%3D Throwdown in 2001 to seeing them in 2005 was night and day. Completely different crowd when they started playing with the white belt bands in the mid-2000s.

anonymous 7/21/2023 9:52:02 AM

Saved you a scroll: Dave and Keith are both good dudes and dads, both versions of the band have fans, some people like both, some people only like one. The average IQ level of a 2023 lambgoat commenter is 60. Including me. Music isn't that serious.
