Chuck's motto was "Let the metal flow", not "stay home".

^ They play Death songs live, only chance to hear that music live now for most people. They're not touring under Death name or making new music as Death, you idiot. Music is supposed to be played live - nobody says other pianists playing concerts of only Chopin music are a blasphemy after he died in 1849. At least they're not doing it as Chuck's corpse is still warm, like it was with Dio Disciples.

It was great hearing those songs live. Watching Athiest open was great as well. Amazing night...

any chance of coming to southamerica? DEATH in Santiago-Chile is still one of the best metal shows ever around here, and I know way to many people who couldn´t see them in 1998.This will be the only chance for many to hear these songs live,and paid tribute for Chuck.

Video's sound good.

It's alright guys. Your always gonna have rabid haters wherever you go. People should surround themselves with "why not" instead of "why". Throw a rock and you'll hit someone who asks "why.?"

Seen them in SF. Matt Harvey did an excellent job.

"when someone says this or this deceased musician would have said that or would have loved band X to continue or to change musical direction or whatever."

--> Don't drag things like that into this, they're out of context. This is not about of what Chuck would have said or what he would have loved. I know for a fact that he always said "let the metal flow".

"He would have approved as much as he approved not being part of the European tour in 1990 when they cheated on him..."

--> That was a different situation...and you can't possibly know what Chuck would have approved or not.

"Chuck was a perfectionist and would not have allowed any of this they are doing now "in his name". Fuck that shit."

--> Indeed, Chuck was a perfectionist in everything he did...but you can't possibly know what Chuck would have approved or not.

--> All I know for sure is that the world is still full of Chuck's fans, dedicated hardcore fans (I'm one of them) and many musicians who love his music, musicians who love to perform his music in his honour, fans who love to hear his music live as a remembrance of him.

Even while Chuck is not with us anymore, his spirit and music are immortal and I think that performing Chuck's music (that was always larger than life) is a perfect way of celebrating his high status as a pioneering musician who gave us all a massive legacy of everything excellent. I know I would go crazy in a show like this, for my own enjoyment and for Chuck.

Keeping Chuck's music alive on stage - letting his metal flow!!! - is not a fucking blasphemy! You're a blasphemer for stating shit like that. You can stay home and shut up, bury yourself in your headphones, don't even tell anyone about Death. Fucking lamer.

I attended the NYC show and it was amazing. Richard Christy came up for a couple songs and destroyed. And Watching Alex Skolnick play Death songs was funny but great.
