XTC fucking ruled.

and Ugly Kid Joe on massive stage again!! WIN!! A mate of mine is playing guitar for UKJ on this residency. He flew out a couple of days ago. Not a bad gig for him, a month in Las Vegas working an hour a day. Beats being in Leeds in fucking April anyway... Why add April to your sentence.... Fair po...

Well, maybe it's a cultural thing, but over here in the 70s/80s the leather-clad gay guy in the Brando cap and chaps (with optional extra handlebar moustache) was a well-established comedy trope. Hell, you all got the Police Academy gag with the Blue Oyster Bar, right? And none of the actual bikers...

when we saw the "we are stars" video.. everyone then knew rob was gay. He spent his entire career after the first album dressing like a fucking Tom Of Finland poster, how the fuck did anybody NOT know he was gay? I am always astonished when somebody is all: "I knew Halford was gay wh...

France is famous for soft cheeses, but I've never heard that the UK had great cheese. What kind of cheese are you talking about? I'm genuinely curious. I've had Irish sharp cheddar recently, and it was fabulous, but other than that, what does the UK have? We are FANATICAL about cheese over here. Do...

It does in the states thats for sure. UK and France has amazing cheese. Tastes nothing like that crap you yanks pass off as cheese.

Oliver/Dawson Saxon stopped some years back. Graham Oliver is currently in "Graham Oliver's Army".

Who the fuck let the spambot in?

Sebastian is the voice of reason here. Original Skid Row do owe it to us, We’ve been waiting long enough. Here's the thing. Nobody "owes" the fans anything, and it's the height of delusion to think that just because you liked a band thirty years ago they somehow have an obligation to get ...

I have a Venom best of - From Hell to the Unknown - where they put the same version of Black Metal on both of the discs, pretty sure that was unintentional and that some record exec lost his private jet privileges over that fuckup! Well, I'm not sure how that can have happened, cos I have From Hell...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupKa3DyPuY I assumed they werent big enough in London to do that venue. Good footage of the full show. They've done a six-date run of venues that size here over the last couple of weeks. I saw em at Leeds Arena, wasn't entirely sold out but I reckon a good 10,000 th...

We don't "graduate" as such over here, we just do our exams and then leave. Mine was '87. Do you do those exams at about 16-18 years of age? If so, then that's similar. General exams (GCSEs these days, O-levels when I was there) are at 16, those who wish to stay on for A-levels finish at ...

Oh, good call. Fucking classic.

Freakiest film I've ever seen is probably Brian Yuzna's Society. I like a good weird horror and they don't come much weirder than that.

Can't stand them myself. Time outside work is mine, not the company's.

At weekends. I'm never up early enough during the week, but I love a hefty breakfast on a weekend. Saturdays is the Full English, Sunday I have a bagel with cheese, ham, mushrooms and onions.

2012 Vauxhall Vivaro. Does everything I need it to, nice enough to drive, pretty good on diesel, fits all the band and all the gear in.

(That one isn't mine, but mine's identical)

Sports. I don't judge anyone for being sports fan, except for a couple people I know who never shut the fuck up about their favorite teams and assume I'm as into them as they are, but overall I just don't see the appeal of being a sports fan at all. Absolutely this. It's the assumption that you MUS...

Gutted. Glad I got to see him play once though (MC50 opening for Alice Cooper).

Yeah, gotta support Jase here. The guy's got cancer in a big way, as well as a broken back, he's in a wheelchair and he's still fucking kicking arse. Saw Wolfsbane just before Xmas and they were fucking deadly. (Incidentally, Blaze Bayley recently had a quadruple heart bypass and Steve Danger's got ...

No matter what type of smart watch, Apple watch, fitness tracker stuff they come up with, I will always be partial to an old school Rolex or Tudor style Submariner-esque analog watch. i don't want all of that other smart shit. I've already got an iPhone. Similar but lower budget - I've been wearing...

Massive fan, first saw them in '88. Not quite as party-oriented as the Quireboys, they're a lot darker in subject matter and tone. In their day they were one of the greatest live acts around, and the run of albums from In The Dynamite Jet Saloon to More Unchartered Heights Of Disgrace is incredible.

Back in the day, maybe. As they stand now? If they were playing in my back yard I'd shut the curtains.

They all tasted the same before COVID existed.

I've never got this whole "we work hard, we play hard" thing. Why in the name of sanity would you want to socialise outside work with people you see all day? Outside of the standard Christmas Do sort of affair, I wouldn't go near my co-workers outside work hours. Fortunately, the sort of w...
