So this is a thing:
http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/voivod Looks like a bunch of you already ordered but I figured I'd put it here for stragglers. All three releases include two audio CDs plus a DVD. Having pre-ordered all three, it worked out to less than $45 including postage. Nice to finally have these done (even though I'm far more interested in Blacky's new material instead). Looking forward to the '88 footage from The Anthrax, I was there, wonder if I made the cut.  All the best,
PAULIE PS Yeah vinyl too but probably mastered from digital sources so fuck that shit. -------------------- Voivoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

Got them, listened to the audio CDs only so far.I am *very happy* with the remaster of KT, it's finally crisp, the old CD was utter trash. The guitar seems a bit lower than memory serves, but still, this is leaps and bounds beyond the last ones. An anal-retentive friend indicated that one of the bonus disks (don't recall which one) has some pitch issues, the playback is a bit too fast I think - This is sadly common these days, folks will just roll the tape and tweak an EQ but not check to see if the pitch is correct. This is particularly important since so many tape machines used to record shows ran on batteries, as well as the variance between players - A tape recorded on one machine will not necessarily be played back at the same speed on another. Looking forward to checking out the DVDs, but this won't happen for a while yet. So if you have thoughts on those materials, let's hear it please!
All the best,
PAULIE

Don't get me wrong, I cherish every single moment with the band, that was mine also, I started it with Piggy back in the days. Piggy and I spend almost every single days from 1981 till 1991, so for 10 years we were a team, best friends, inseparable. So for that I will never forget. The big question for me now is, did I made the right choice by coming back in 2008. Perhaps for doing shows, yes for sure, but I shouldn't have made an other record, write new songs. Voivod was over after I first left, then for sure after Piggy's death. No matter what others think or says, you can't carry a name/band without the composers.

I wish you'd never left back in 1991, Blacky, but you're right, after Piggy's death, there was definitely no more VoiVod. Thankfully we still have all those great albums. Thanks.

The guys a loser for having a Voivod fan site?The problem is Blacky you are on a FAN FORUM!! And bitching about your old band, jeez take a break man, sounds a lot like sour grapes. I think Voivod are still very credible as a band and not a parody at all, i mean Post Society was a great E.P and the band are still doing well, i mean they just supported Metallica!! does that sound like a parody? -------------------- vivid \W/

Hi Vivid, you should know that the voivod.net / voivod.com is the official website, it is no longer just a fan site, so miss spelling should have been corrected by now, I personelly ask the person in charge of it to correct it while I was still in the band, just so you know. As for the re-writing of the history of the band, I was there so I should know what happened in 1982-83 and not given the credit to Wayne Archibald is also wrong. Away has often been re-writing history in his favor. And yes perhaps I'm little piss-off how the whole band turn out. If you are close to him, ask him what happen, why I really left (force out) the band. And this website is hosted on my server so I can say pretty much what I want.  kidding!!!
I don't and will never dislike the band as a whole. I was part of it and it is a part of me also. But if someone say something that I know is wrong, and I don't care who that can be, trust me I will say something at some point. I'm not call Blacky for nothing.  For them to open for one single show for Metallica is not the end of the world, I say it's about time. Good for them, I'm happy that happen. Btw do you have any idea how they get the gig? Please tell me, you seam to know lots. I talk to E-force in 2007 I think, not exactly sure of the date, anyway we talk for a while, that was the first time I met the guy, it was backstage at a club in MTL. He told an interesting story about why he was not in the band anymore...after his accident...nothing to do with a stack of amp falling on his shoulder...trust me

Hey Blacky, that book idea sounds great!!! Would love to hear your side of the story and read about your time with the band. I'm sure you have tons of cool personnal stuff collecting dust in your basement that would be gold to us fans. Old photos, tour anecdotes, juicy stories, blower bass tales, etc.As a graphic designer, I'm willing to do the page layout for free and I live 20 minutes ouf of Montréal. Let's do this!!!
You are funny! thanks for the advise, but no, I'm not interested in doing a biography book about Voivod, specially not about my life, too many of those already.
