I remember when this came out... and still love it... it has a more 'fun' element to it, almost like Van Halen meets Testament .. but also pure thrash with a most breakdown at the end...
Never gets old, some interesting new bands are reviving Thrash too, check out Lich King, Dr Living Dead and Crysix for example. They make some great Neo-thrash Metal and have some serious skills because this music takes some endurance to perform live. It's like a top sport and people talking down on it should try to learn some of these songs without cutting any corners. And these guys are still doing it now after all these years too, respect !!
Hardly tbh. They may not be Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer level well known, but they're top of the pack below them. Many as good bands who are much less known
@@MFH666 Hell yeah brother you remember this also I am drunk as a skunk off of a fifth of Pinnacle vodka I'm on vacation this week and my wife she's okay with it I never get violent I just get lovable with her I'm never running I don't get out and drive she went to the store a few minutes ago she came back home I helped her bring the groceries and I want staggering I wouldn't swearing my words but I'm drunk ass fuck rest my case
Remember hearing this on 3 hours of power in the early 90s with ST, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer Meggadeth as a young learner of thrash metal, loved it still do
20’s “ do the fuckin toxic waltz!” 30’s “ Hell yeah, let me pound a few beers and I’ll toxic waltz!” 40’s “ I’d toxic waltz, but I have to work tomorrow “ 50’s “ can’t toxic waltz with a herniated disc” 60’s “ What’s exodus? Nurse, where’s my pudding?”
I'm 52 and had 6 breaks to my pelvis and 2 fractured discs in my spine from being hit by an SUV, and still TOXIC WALTZ @ the LUNATIC PARADE!!!C'mon guys, it's FEEDING TIME AT THE ZOO!!!
Love how all the OG thrash bands have their mosh song, Exodus- The Toxic Waltz Metallica- Whiplash Anthrax- Caught In A Mosh I’m sure I’m missing others
Man I remember those early days, I was like 13-14 or something. Being at a place for the youth to have a good time, having my first beers, headbanging on songs like this. What a great time that was❤
My cousin was a huge Exodus fan back when I was in high school “2000 - 2003” I used to tease him about it cause I liked heavier shit. Now that I’m much older, I can say I was so wrong. This shit rocks!
Here's a new dance craze that's sweeping the nation It's called the toxic waltz and it's causing devastation You're jumping up and down like a psycho circus clown Slamming with waltzers all the way around You get caught up in the whip, you thrown into a flip You aim for someone's head to stain the floor red Give someone a kick to prove you're truly sick Bounce back from some blows and blood runs out your nose Flailing round and round and you're injury bound Waltz it up! The pit is it! You can take your chance on this rough new dance If you dare! To dive in! There are some that try, but they won't survive They don't hit! 'Cause they're wimps! And this exercise helps you brutalize With us! Exodus! Everybody's doing the toxic waltz Kick your friend in the head and have a ball Come on and do the toxic waltz And slam your partner against the wall Everybody's doing the toxic waltz Good friendly violent fun in store for all Get up off your ass and toxic waltz If you hit the floor, you can always crawl! Used to do the monkey, but now it's not cool The twist and mashed potato are no exception to the rule So don't be a dunce and dance like a runt Just throw your elbows with good friendly violent fun Don't start to cry if you get a black eye Just dive back in and give another try But too much action may leave you in traction So you better get insurance, no matter your endurance Flailing round and round and you're injury bound Waltz it up! The pit is it! You can take your chance on the rough new dance If you dare! To dive in! And there are some that try, but they wont survive They dont hit! 'Cause they're wimps! And this exercise helps you brutalize With us! Exodus! Everybody's doing the toxic waltz Kick your friend in the head and have a ball Come on and do the toxic waltz And slam your partner against the wall Everybody's doing the toxic waltz Good friendly violent fun in store for all Get up off your ass and toxic waltz If you hit the floor you can always crawl! Get up on your feet Don't look so obsolete And thrash like an athlete! Don't sit there on your ass Don't look like you got too much class You'll be harassed! You know we guarantee this is the key So rage or get the third degree! You begin frontal assaults and start your somersaults And do the toxic waltz! Do the toxic waltz! Do the toxic waltz! Do the toxic waltz! Do the toxic waltz!
Watching this and reminiscing, while in my mid-50's, and wondering what it would be like if all of us mosh pitters from the 80's were to meet up again in a small venue and give it another whirl! 😁 Grey hair flying and broken bones everywhere! 🤘👴
It was an exciting time! There was a buzz in the air. There wasn't internet so all you could do is read about these bands, buy the album, see them on headbangers ball, or be lucky enough to get a ticket to one of their shows. Due to the mystique it was an unparalleled thrill of seeing these bands live.
As a teenager in the 80s, metal was my religion. Exodus sure was one of my many favorite bands. Fabolous Disaster is one hell of a record. All thrash now
Oh do i miss the early 80s living in the bay area and on any given night you could go to any number of clubs and see violence, exodus, testament death angel and metallica, we didn't know we were witnessing a new movement we were just having fun and truth be told the big 4 could of easily been made up of just bay area bands
Jonathan Lund you are so lucky what I’m living through in my teenage days is seeing cringy girls who go by the “grunge and goth aesthetic” which isn’t even grunge and goth at all.
Where I am from there was very fee concerts didn't have a car and didn't realize how close we was to major cities. Our first heavy concert was suicidal tendencies and they was the opening band with a double encore
