Forever Changes by LOVE

Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating by the Stars

Breaking Bad - Season 3 - best thing on TV.

I managed to quit by slowly introducing Swedish Snus. It gave me the nicotine buzz while I concentrated on getting used to not popping out for a smoke, not doing the physical action of smoking or smoking whilst drinking. Because I was getting a nicotine hit I found it easier to get used to not doing the other things. Once I’d sorted that I started cutting down on my Snus use until I had phased it out altogether. Not a method that will work for everyone though.

Shame by Brad, great album from various parts of grunge bands from the early 90’s…mellow, funky and bassy…had a copy on tape that i copied from one of my mates years ago, managed to find it on enbay for a fiver on cd a few weeks ago.

Their new CD ‘Best Friends’ is well worth checking out.

Balls - I came on here to sing the praises of the new Killing Joke and discover it’s already been covered!!!! It’s fantastic - really looking forward to Edinburgh gig :-)

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier
(Pre-ordered ages ago so no gurning about downloading)

Jury’s out…

Katatonia last night in Glasgow.

Buckethead - Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot

As the title says! No idea on tickets yet. Same night as Katatonia which is a problem for me! A decision to be made! Probably an easy decision for most but I love both bands!

Didn’t get into the last Katatonia album at all…and I like their earlier stuff

Try October Tide which was a side project. Sound slike early Katatonia and is superb. Spinning it now!

Katatonia - Night Is The New Day

As close to perfection as a ‘heavy’ album can get!

King Crimson - Starless

Best tune I’ve ever heard I think!

Good grief! Check the gig list and take it from there! Not difficult and saves your beer money!

Hmmm. Listened to it on Spotify and it’s a wee bit shite!

Dio, Dio, Dio and more Dio!
What a legacy!

Withnail and I
Fargo
Dragnet

Agreed on both points! He’s completely surplus to requirements on the new album but fantastic live. Hopefully any future albums will feature him more

I’ve never listened to any of his solo stuff. Does he have enough variety to do a good double album? Most of his stuff (based on AIC) is pretty mellow - thought that might get boring spread over a double album. How does his solo stuff compare to AIC - I should probably check it out one day.

Degradation Trip is fantastic. New AIC is very much in the vein of his solo stuff. It is mellower than old AIC though. The double CD version of DT is IMO actually a much better listen than the bastardised 1 cd version forced out by Roadrunner. It’s not all mellow though with a lot of corking heavier tunes - in fact there’s probably more heavy tunes on here. I honestly don’t think there’s a single bad track on both CD’s and some such as Angel Eyes, She was my girl, locked on, Anger Rising, 31/32 are as good he’s written!

If you like the new AIC then there’s much to enjoy on here and I can’t recommend it highly enough - but only the double as the 1 CD version is a complete waste of money. Try his debut Boggy Depot too as it’s basically all of AIC minus Layne playing on there.

Jerry Cantrell - Degradation trip Volumes I and II - Double Album the way Jerry originally intended it to be released. Fantastic!

Insomnium - Since The Day It All Came Down

Skid Row - Subhuman Race

I used to love mindfunk back in the day!

Found a whole pile of old CD’s in a box the other day and have had a few spinning and bringing back memories!

Mindfunk - Dropped

Bit of a long winded way to say you got in the bath and cracked one off!

Absolutely nothing! I have all their CD’s but 1 is utter garbage and at least 2 are just OK - I certainly haven’t liked every thing they’ve done or every direction they’ve taken! I have however enjoyed (on the whole) being part of the journey for 20 years and the almost 30 gigs I’ve attended in that time.

Me too, great album. Much better than NANE.

I’ve said it before but to these ears OCFA is easily the worst album they’ve put out!

Dark Suns - Grave Human Genuine
Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion

£15 isn’t bad at all actually considering the price of some of the touring shite these days!

Ruby - Salt peter
