Whiplash

Any fans of the New Jersey thrash metal band? Favorites? Least favorites?

Yes!! I love Insult to injury.

EDIT: Injury...not insanity, my bad.

I loved the first two albums, Tony's guitar style was rather unique at the time. I don't really remember much about Insult To Injury and never heard the later albums.

"Last Man Alive" is such a great track, would be a good cover song for someone to do. Same goes for "The Burning Of Atlanta" which is just a great thrash song.

Completely remember this band, I don't have any of their albums but I remember Cult Of One coming out when I was a sophmore in high school, man there's a lot of memories tied to that album. I remember we played No One's Idol at a talent show and every one went nutty.

Insult to Injury was similar to the first two, music wise, but they added a vocalist with a clean, high voice, putting them closer to bands like Agent Steel, Toxik, Anthrax, Realm, etc.

Power And Pain and Ticket To Mayhem are two of my favorite thrash albums ever. I like Insult To Injury about equally as well, but the others Ive never heard. Growing up in Jersey, these guys were one of my favorite bands.

Good band! Power Thrashing Death and Stage Dive are my favorite songs of theirs.

I liked the earlier ones too, but insult to injury with Glenn Hansen is just pure awesome.

Just the 1st album!

Ticket to Mayhem has some great songs on it but Insult to Injury would be my pick.
On a related note,they have a new album coming out in a couple of months called "Unborn Again".

Yeah Insult to injury!!....put it here thrasher!

LOVE their first 3 (haven't heard their other albums enough to really comment on)! Insult To Injury is probably my favorite. I can't believe Glen Hanson hasn't really done anything since, and wasn't known before either. The dude was talented!

Can't really pick a favorite song. They are one of those bands I just put in the CD player and let it unload on me!

I only have Insult to Injury, and I love it! I used to own Sit, Knell; Pray or whtever it is called too, but I think I gave it to some geek running a Metal website about his CD collection or something.....

I was in a local used shop yesterday (the last one of it's kind) and saw flyers posted for Whiplash playing with Morbid Angel and a coupla other bands in my town next week. Didn't know these guy were still around.

Yeah they been back together a while now.Love the 80s stuff.

I picked up the 3CD Roadrunner Years deluxe set:



It has the first three albums on CD, plus a nice booklet explaining the history of the band.

Nice!!

Whiplash were a local band for me (they hailed from Passaic, New Jersey, if memory serves)... I saw them open for Overkill once at L'amour in Brooklyn a loooooong time ago, but never owned any of their stuff. Guess I should re-investigate them one of these days.
