When did Throwdown turn into Pantera 2.0? I mean, I wasn't a huge fan of their old stuff butblatantly trying to mimic Pantera is even worse.

listofdemands (November 30, 2007)

i know, man. i think it just happened this album. i was really into them when they first came out. they've progressively gotten worse.

i agree. i think Haymaker was awesome. Vendetta was pretty cool. Venom has some good songs like Hellbent on War and SCUM, but some really REALLY bad stuff.

listofdemands (November 30, 2007)

yeah, i was into haymaker. honestly, i don't think i even gave vendetta a listen. is it worth it?

wow, retarded. i actually didn't mind the song before seeing the video, but that just ruined it for me. it's funny because Venom and Tears is more developed musically and lyrically than their other shit but it's not nearly as fun to listen to. i mean, stuff like Forever and Hopeless may be cliche or tough-guy or whatever, but it was still a lot of fun. the new stuff is just serious and boring. and if i wanted to see 30 year olds headbanging, i'd go to a metallica concert. no, actually i'd just stay home. anyways, i can understand they wanted to try something different, but they should really go back to this Throwdown : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfdV6nYI-Rg

i saw throwdown at the last warped tour. i've always disliked them, but a bunch of people told me that they had one of those live shows that you just have to see. after a fight broke out, and the singer called the crowd "a bunch of faggots," i started talking to one of them about fights at shows and, he talked a lot about how he hates "hardcore kids" because they think they're better than everyone. i think this might have a lot to do with their change in sound.

and pantera still sucks.

"and pantera still sucks."

tell that to Dimebag's widow... douchebag

DickAround (December 1, 2007)

Dimebag had a wife? Wow, I feel sorry for her. And not because Diamond Darrell got capped.

sanserif (December 1, 2007)

When I saw them at Warped this past summer, the singer was encouraging people to fight. Two people were carried out of the crowd bleeding profusely.

mCLz (November 30, 2007)

so is throwdown a serious band or a joke band?
oh yeah and this sucks

GlassPipeMurder (December 1, 2007)

started off as a joke band. pretty evident through Haymaker. Vendetta got a little more serious. not sure if they're being ironic anymore. "I'll Never Die a Poisoned Death" would lend itself to "yes" though.

DeadMilkMan (December 1, 2007)

I always make jokes about Throwdown playing my birthday party. I've never actually heard them. And I'm going to keep it that way.

Jihadah (December 1, 2007)

Honestly i think they pulled off the metalcore to full on metal transition pretty well. they still retain some of their old style. this video aint bad, it blends in with the theme of the album. I do understand where you guys are coming from, however.

Bakla (December 1, 2007)

I've been told many times to check this band out. I was expecting to hear a more hard core sound. Call me old fashion but I prefer Gorilla Biscuits.

listofdemands (December 1, 2007)

try the first two records. it's nothing like GB, but it's more along those lines than this.

xjustx24 (December 1, 2007)

Oh God, this is a downgrade from Haymaker, This cd is soooooooo bad. Could they want to be pantera anymore??
