Danny's Disappointment(s) of 2012

  1. No new Metallica album. We are dying since 2008. FIVE YEARS !!!
    Enough - 2013 shall be !!
  2. Running Wild - Shadowmaker
    Actually I like it, just this is not a Running Wild album, this is a Giant X one. Wrong casting, ugly wrong casting !!!!!
  3. Firewind - Few Against Many
    Hey, it's still good, but Gus has done much better in the past. Yellow card as we say in soccer.
  4. Grave Digger - Clash of the Gods
    Ouffff, what happened? Clash of the band yes ...
  5. Gotthard - Firebirth
    Steve, we miss you. Good stuff, but ...
