As far as heavy bands go they're a lot more danceable than most. I spent years in the Palace and Moshulu dancing away to them without resorting to bashing into my mates.

Moshulu is the only place i have been into where i have had to wipe my feet on the way out hehe...

I have had many a great night out there although I havent been in since The Subways played there a couple of years ago...all i have experienced is a good atmosphere an good music. Im normally to smashed to care about the smell or stickin to the carpets...

Think i might head down for one of Stevens nights...only if he plays a bit of Rage though

Weeeeeeee

Pfft, I've seen you dancing, perhaps you should have just resorted to bashing into your mates

Can't say I agree with this at all - I've seen plenty of folk unleashing many fly moves along to Killing in the Name.

I think it's being going downhill as a nightclub pretty much since I started going there in 2005 but the process has speeded up since Barfly bought it over.

The carpets aren't nice but I don't care about them that much. Same with the toilets.

The music would benefit from more variety. The standard thing on Friday since I started to go was to play Rock Club Clliche's virtually every single week i.e Killing in The Name by Rage Against the Machine, Down by Pantera and Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Then about half of the other songs are usaully emo songs. I assume the reasoning for this says emo is what is popular with young people at the moment. They must remember however that a large proportion of emo fans are under the age of 18 and therefore not able to go to the clubnight and there is also a significant trend to not drink any alchohol.

Also tends to be a fair bit of the mainstream American Heavy Rock/Metal stuff like Trivium and Machine Head and then some of the 'alternative electro' or whatever it is called like Penjalum and Nine Inch Nails.

I don't have a problem with them playing any of these types of music but they need to cater for all varieties of rock fans.

They are only going to suceed as a rock club if they cater metalheads, goths, punk, glam, thrash. grunge and people who just don't like the other clubs. They appear to have gone out of their way to appeal to what they think is popular with young people and at the same time the attendence has declined.

Not playing requested things when they really aren't that radical is not going to please your customers. I know people who have requested stuff like In flames, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Dragonforce i.e popular metal bands and it practically never gets played.

Also the prices of drinks has risen big time recently. £2.65 for a pink of Grolsch and £3.80 for a Kopperburg?

Makes it much more of a concideration to actually bother going to moshulu. Paying £4 to get in and then drinks are more expensive than most places I might otherwise go.

As with the during the week metal nights? As far as I know there was only a handful of these on Thusday last year and most of us have work, university or college on Friday morning so not able to go. They could have been better publicised also. I believe a similar style of monthly event is suceeding nicely in Glasgow at the Soundhouse. I have seen many posters, flyers etc. for it the last few times i've been in Glasgow whereas with the Thursday Metal night at Moshulu I got given a flyer one night and most of my friends didn't know about it.

One really positive thing Barfly has done is get back to booking some good touring bands and they also upgraded the in-house PA system to a turbosound one, which is about as good as it gets really.

The end result of Moshulu and rock places in Aberdeen generally vanishing is metalheads just stay at home playing world of warcraft rather than going out.

Thus the extinction of this classic breed.
