My self , Sputnik Stan , Pinocheo's Dad; & Ashburner St Market Stall. Bloodstock, that really is the old skool metal fest. Oddly was promoting three random nights of Saxon before the pandemic hit. Birmingham was almost sold out but in London was difficult to shift the tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought tickets because of the support band. King Creature. ( brilliant band from Cornwall) Saw them 2 years ago with Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons. Any way , back to Orange Goblin. Any recommendations of albums . They have never been on my wavelength. But have quite a big back catalogue. OG are great, got into them on the wolf bites back album. Great riffs, bit like Kyruss. Supposed to be great live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My metal joy this year has been the belated discovery of Mastodon - the Crack the Skye album is just brilliant. And I've finally got why people like Tool when they've just passed me by before. Gutted Download is off again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were trying to come across as a dead hard, talking about how Ordsell was way, way worse than Moss Side. To prove the point they all jumped in a car to show the journalist around their 'manor'. They ended up getting lost and gave up. Hardly surprising given they grew up on the mean streets of Altrincham and Wilmslow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the most gentle giants in music. He's softer than Guy Garvey. You're talking out of your arse lad.

Never done a bad album either, solo stuff included. Anyway, the Prins Thomas re-edit is great, and makes for a beltin driving tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted March 6, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2021 Doves at Apollo was a great gig Hadn't got into the first album, liked a couple of songs off 2nd but it was the 3rd i liked that they were touring But enjoyed it from start to finish including the stuff I didn't know so well, between end and encore had video screens showing them nipping for a quick pint in the pub next door Think they're from Northenden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Ordsall was rough as fuck around 1990/91. Longsight was moody too. I always felt like Moss Side was relatively safe in comparison - the criminal element having bigger fish to fry. We were acquainted with a lad from Northenden via tape-trading, it always struck me that it took him longer to get into the city centre, having set off same time, as us 'yonners'. He also used to come out with the most bigoted shit about Longsight, Moss Side etc. yet his supposed best mate was a black lad. Like I said he was only an acquaintance, he had a big list and that trumped everything back then. People into music have it easy these days - gear is cheap, music is instant and free as is networking and getting music out or publishing... Gigs though, we oldies had the last hurrah with those, clubs too imo - the alcohol industry won that war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Merrie Land by the Good, the Bad and the Queen is probably the best album I've heard in the last couple of years. Yes, Damon Albarn is an annoying div, but he's really talented. It's superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
