Default Tilted Wig last night

Well thanks a bloody bunch whoever was in the Twig last night for putting on two hours of music that consisted of ELP (That's fine)

Everything on there by Iron Maiden,ditto Sabbath, ditto Led Zep ditto Deep Purple.You probably have all this at home but i don't really work well for anyone who ainb't a diehard. Bit of etiquette next time ;-)

All good bands but fuck's sake...

hahahahahahahaha

ELP are pretty damn awful. Though i still think "fanfare for the common man" is ace. If everyone in the world woke up to that track, we would all be living in a far better place.

Yep, it was Fanfare they played, a great track (well the single version anyway).

As Sophie well knows ELP are fine in my book, but if that jukebox had had five tracks by them they would have been played in succession too! And Iron Maiden are fucking dreadful. "The perpetually appalling Iron Maiden there" as Mark Lamarr once said.

Deep Purple don't even have five good songs in their repertoire so that was about our cue to leave. They emptied three tables while we were there!

Cute waifish girl in a Slipknot top was with the group who put them on: she should have sorted them out!

Unfortunately the Wigs days as a vaguely rock orientated bar look to be numbered. I fondly remember it's golden era from '88-'96. Sadly the place has recently been sold and from what I gather the new management are not planning to respect it's rocky heritage.

For me things started to go downhill when the introduced BIG SCREEN SPORT. Ugh!

Spot on Sir... why does every pub (bar The Moorings ) insist on tv's? When the Scotland Italy game was on I could not find a single other bar in Aberdeen that wasn't showing it, and this was a Saturday night. If people want to watch tv stay at home!

Moorings would be much better if it showed the odd game or rugby matches
