As for Sandi's question: You can take a look at <a href="http://www.discharge.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.discharge.co.uk/</a> which is the bands official site, and I haven't seen a better site for information than that. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/discharge#post-20464 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:57:06 +0000 sandi 20464@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>That guys hair is SO HOT. Anyone with some site for all their info, I want to research things and see what I can dig up. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/discharge#post-20456 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:08:26 +0000 N1v3n 20456@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Didn't Rocky Shades from Wrathchild end up in Discharge at some point? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/discharge#post-20455 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:03:15 +0000 StillRocking 20455@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I was about to question what a thread on Discharge was doing in the GlamRock forum, but then I read the post and saw the enclosed picture <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>Anyway, I think the reason Grave New World was so poorly received is that it was a huge departure from their prior work, and many of their fans thought they had sold out on them. While that may not have been the bands intention, that's how it was viewed. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/discharge#post-20348 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 17:55:50 +0000 berGrm 20348@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Weren't they a D-Beat band? </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/discharge#post-15628 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:29:24 +0000 Blowyourspeakers 15628@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Discharge are best known as a hardcore punk band, who began to incorporate metal influences into their sound in the early 80s, paving the way for a lot of the crossover thrash acts the followed a few years later.</p> <p> In 1986, in a move comparable to Celtic Frost's 'Cold Lake', they released an album entitled 'Grave New World'.</p> <p> This was a massive departure from their previous work. </p> <p><img src="http://www.chez.com/discharge/d34.jpg" alt="Discharge Circa 1986" /> </p> <p> The tour was a let down and the band were booed and bottled off stage and this led to the band calling it quits for a few years.</p> <p> Which is too bad, because I don't think the album deserved the backlash it got. Chock full of great riffs and solos all quite tastefully done. The lyrics aren't what you'd call glam, but the vocal delivery is kinda sleaze metallish. Cal (the lead singer) isn't a great singer- it can sometimes be hard to decipher some of the lyrics. </p> <p>I'm not sure what the forums policy is about link sharing, but I'll link to anyone who PMs me. The band have disowned the album and it's almost out of print.</p> <p>I couldn't get the first pic to show, so here's one that should:</p> <p><img src="http://http://www.discharge.co.uk/images/flyer/cor_ker/Discharge%20flyer%20A9.jpg" alt="Discharge Flyer '86" /> </p>
