Wall of Mouths

Should be a cracking gig tonight - mind you, I’ve never seen Therapy? do a bad show. They gave out free chocolate eggs at the Easter gig a few years ago - so sweet. Still got to work out how to get from Oxford station to the Zodiac. I guess a taxi beckons.

The beers not to expensive there, or at least wasn’t when I saw Antiproduct back in July (from what little I can remember).

Anyone still unsure, check out this :

Title: Metallica

Shed a tear any ‘tallica fans out there. According to a press release Jason has left the band. Here’s the report I just got from Playlouder.com

…And then there were three
——————————————
Metallica lose member…

After 14 years of big hair, short hair and huge noises, Metallica’s
bassist Jason Newsted has left the band.

‘Due to private and personal reasons, and the physical damage that
I have done to myself over the years while playing the music that I
love, I must step away from the band,’ reads a statement from
Jason, ‘this is the most difficult decision of my life, made in the
best interest of my family, myself, and the continued growth of
Metallica. I extend my love, thanks, and best wishes to my
brothers: James, Lars, and Kirk and the rest of the Metallica
family, friends, and fans whom have made these years so
unforgettable.’

Newsted joined Metallica in 1986 following the death of the band’s
bassist Cliff Burton. Jason played on Metallica’s biggest records,
And Justice For All, Metallica, Load, Re-Load, Garage Inc., and S&M
which have sold a combined total of over 55 million copies
worldwide.

‘Playing with someone who has such unbridled passion for music will
forever be a huge inspiration,’ said frontman James Hetfield, ‘on
stage every night, he was a driving force to us all, fans and band
alike. His connection will never be broken.’

‘Jason is our brother,’ added bassist Kirk Hammett, ‘he will be
missed.’

I agree with the yo-yo’s bit. Think it’s always hard to judge a band when you don’t actually know their songs, unless something really grabs you (rare).

Respect to ritty. Might come see you play. I live just round the corner.

Kicked in the head? My own fault for being on the barrier…

The Misifts cover is Where Eagles dare from the Violent world tribute album. I kinda agree with the surfers bit. Especially the lad in blue shirt, glasses and boots always down.

Git.
