A nice bit of classic style metal.

Links234 · 23-06-2015 10:02pm

Thought you might enjoy them

How goes it lately, folks? Haven't really been active here lately, was over on other forums here talking about gaming stuff and the Steam sale. I am a damned happy bunny after that sale, got some awesome games

rainbow kirby · 23-06-2015 10:16pm

Returning to normality after wedding and honeymoon! Busy enough in work and getting back into training because I've got an Olympic distance tri in six and a half weeks time :eek:

Just got my Apocalyptica tickets too

Links234 · 23-06-2015 10:18pm

Awesome to hear RK! When/where are Apocalyptica playing?

rainbow kirby · 23-06-2015 11:26pm

London in November, Shepherd's Bush Empire.

I'm heading up to Dublin for the Mastodon gig on Friday and just wondering could the good people of this forum recommend any good craft beer bars around the Olympia to check out? I know there seems to be a lot of them around there, but I'm just wondering which are the best to check out.

Bull and castle is right next door and a fine bar, few different taps on rotation

Against the Grain or Black Sheep have a better selection but a bit more of a walk away.

Might have a few crafty brews before Diamond Head in Fibbers tomorrow. Anybody else stalling along?

Lithium93_ · 25-06-2015 8:42pm

Will be checking out Diamond Head in Fibbers tomorrow night, even though Am I Evil is their only song i know..

Mightydrumming · 25-06-2015 8:59pm

Completely off topic here :pac:

Found this video today and couldn't help but notice the bass line at the start :eek: Slash was off his t!ts as per but it's like he's just programmed to play (maybe luck). The bass line was madly out of time and key, pure cringe moment haha Starts about 2:04!

Anyhow, If that happened live today - you would be absolutely ridiculed!

I'm not sure if any of that made sense, could be a dougal moment :rolleyes:

Lithium93_ · 25-06-2015 9:14pm

Sounds in time & key to me, everyone in GN'R at that time were out of their heads on either drugs or booze, Axl being the exception.

Knifey Spoony · 26-06-2015 8:30am

Psyched for the Mastodon gig tonight. Also have tickets to see them again tomorrow night. Good times ahead.

Zwillinge · 26-06-2015 9:15am

Looking forward to Mastodon this evening; has been a tough week in work >_<;;

How is everyone getting on?? Feels like I've not popped in here in an age

rainbow kirby · 26-06-2015 10:06am

Looking forward to the weekend! Quiet one this weekend, we have a busy July ahead. Summer is about to hit hard here too - supposed to hit 30 next week :eek:

Wet and mild here =/

Zwillinge · 26-06-2015 10:58am

Will it be 30 with sunshine or 30 with cloudy, humid sticky icky?? >.<

rainbow kirby · 26-06-2015 11:03am

30 in London is always sticky icky no matter how sunny it is!

We're off to Paris on the 4th for an athletics meeting and it's even hotter there next week (36c on Wednesday) :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wrongway1985 · 26-06-2015 5:33pm

Herb Powell · 26-06-2015 10:17pm

Fairly feckin excited for Mastodon tomorrow now myself. I imagine Fred's will be doing mad business.

Helpless? It's Electric? Enjoy I'm sure it's well underway now

Knifey Spoony · 27-06-2015 9:21am

Really enjoyed Mastodon last night. Great to hear the Czar and Emerald at the end. Must try and get self in some sort of decent shape for tonight's gig now.

BTW if anyone is heading to the Cork gig tonight and looking for something a bit different to do before hand, there is a homebrew expo in the Fransican Well from 2 - 6pm. There'll be loads of free samples.

Herb Powell · 28-06-2015 7:29pm

It was fucccking unreal, right?

Best atmosphere at a gig in a long time. Security men in the pit

:D

Brilliant gig. Great atmosphere in there and and a great venue. Shame it isn't used for gigs like that more often.

Band seemed well up for the gig as well. Definitely a better gig than the Dublin one the night before.

Sure Brent said at one point, "Dublin better step up their game".

I didn't see anyone acting the maggot either, everyone was just excited.

Passenger · 01-07-2015 7:23pm

Diamond Head were fantastic in Fibbers. Support bands were superb too.

Has anybody heard anything about this new Metal venue in Dublin, On The Rox?

Angron · 01-07-2015 7:31pm

No I haven't. Where's it supposed to be do you know?

Passenger · 01-07-2015 7:36pm

It's upstairs in The Voodoo Lounge. Opening night is next Sat.

Angron · 01-07-2015 7:54pm

Cool, I may give it a gander some time when I'm up in Dubbyland.

The Carcass/Obituary/Napalm Death show announced recently, I saw Relapse Records talking about it on facebook but they don't have ND listed for the Dublin show. To be honest, if ND aren't playing, I'm not going cause 43 euro is a bit much for me when the only band I'd really want to see would be Carcass then.

Plus it's on a Monday night and it's in The Olympia. But €43 is decent for the high profile lineup tbh. The only band I really want to see from that lineup that I haven't yet seen is Voivod.

Angron · 01-07-2015 8:09pm

Yeah, 43 would be fine if ND are there. If they aren't, it's just not really worth it for me. I like Obituary well enough, but I wouldn't be a massive fan, and I don't listen to the other two really, so this is very much down to whether or not ND are there.

I've asked on the DME event page anyway, so I guess I'll have to wait and see.
