The UK's finest Metallica tribute' date=' Blackened, make it an unmissable night for anyone who likes their rock hard and heavy.

Finest...that's a big crock of you know what!

I don't normally lay into bands on boards as I think it can be harsh (and I know what its like to be on the receiving end) but my word! For a start it was £9 for 2 bands! I didn't even stay to see Motorheadache as Blackend gave me a bloody headache! I've never been charged so much for such a poor performance. Its something you would expect from a bunch of 14 year olds playing a school talent show...not a touring tribute band claiming to be the UK's finest...infact one of the bands at this years school show did a rendition of Fuel and Enter Sandman that was far superior <abliet they are all leavers and are 18/19 but still!>

Main gripes and you have to remember these only really annoy me because of the price of the gig and the claims:

The songs were poorly played. Out of time with a lot of incorrect parts. I don't think one solo was nailed even remotely correctly all night. Singer really did sound like a karaoke/comedy attempt at James and spoke in this weird false metal/manly voice all night...that just plain weirded me out "arrrrr are ye all fucking having some fucking fucked up fun...fuck fuck etc etc etc...". Drummer used standard 4/4 beats for most of the songs and rarely touched on anything Lars would do. £1000's of gear on stage. American P-Bass, Hartke Bass Stack, what looked like a very substantial VHT guitar rig and lastly a 7 or 8 piece drum kit...all looked very professional...

You really need to forget the expensive gear and go and learn the songs properly...be able to nail the solos or at least improvise convincingly! Pantellica were MUCH better when they played Lava a few years back...and anyone remember Metal Militia? Perhaps you could get some playing tips from the then 15 year old Gregor. I think you need to remember that when you are a tribute bands you are going attract people who are fans of the band. Even those who don't play instruments would see through this performance.

My 3 metallica-liking friends all feel the same way and the two which weren't really Metallica fans ended up leaving after 2 songs.

I am just so annoyed now that I wasted my night when I could have been doing something more constructive...and still have £9!!! That's almost 2hrs at work for me! GAH!

Apologies if I offended any one but damn!

Where did you get the body from?

Snap Chris. My dad managed to get one from Aberdeen on Ebay for 100. Sounds really good. Up there with some slightly more expensive acoustics we've played.

The Death Penatly is a difficult subject. Watching Paradise Lost certainly had an influence on my views. Some people deserve to be punished but I am unsure of wether that is the way to do it...even if you have all the proof in the world.

It certainly makes me uncomfortable to think of the subject and I wouldn't like to have the blood of another on my hands. Especially if the person were later aquited for the crime.

That program on BBC where the guy set up his own country was interesting. He went to a Death Row. It was so sterile/clinical and the whole idea behind it/the way in which it is carried out makes me very uncomortable. He went into the room where they give lethal injections and you could see how much he wanted to leave...at which point he did.

As for arming all the Police I don't think that would be a good idea. We already have a lot of armed police in this country as it is...it just so happens you don't see/know they are armed or you only see them in certain place i.e airports.

Jane's burger van in Barclayhill Place' date=' Portlethen. Her big breakfast is great. It's a bit out of the way for most people, but right outside my work. Her big baps are good too. [/quote']

Barclayhill Place...is that in Badentoy Industrial Estate?

Did any one else think Slash wasn't on form at all? His soloing on th Jimi Hendrix cover was pretty dire in places...the guy playing the keyboard/organ was alright though.

Slight modification to the above in the style of Randy Rhoads' date=' same chord but without the worry of open strings. Technically it's still just a plain old E5 though... classic[/quote']

That's really good...adds a little sparkle and just enhances what was good about the one I posted up. Cheers for that.

Emaj with a muted G string. I really like the sound of it...I guess it's an E5 with an extra B and E...sounds groovy none the less.

I have a Boss CE-5 Chrous Ensemble I could do with getting shot of. Make me an offer. No box but it is in good condition. I bought it from someone on here but haven't used it.

Sloppy looking pezio install but on the whole pretty nice looking guitar. Nice colour.

Full re-fret on a guitar neck with no binding...off the top of my head it''d be near 100 I think...

I think more people should convert...though there isn't a distrobution network in place for everyone to start using it. Also it is a bit of a half arsed option that will only continue the trend of using fossil fuels....roll on hydrogen or other alternatives!

That's the bad boys...master sounds!

I think Scott our drummer would recommend the ones he has. Not 100% sure what model they are. Pretty sure they are A customs. They have the ribbed edge on the bottom hat. Lars Ulrich might use them...certainly project their sound very well.

I am pretty sure I re-test is not free...as they have to redo everything again.

Honestly most enjoyable performance I have seen. I loved the whole set. Every song was 10/10!

I heard it in someones car. Going to get a copy myself. It's really good although I wasn't so keen on some of the songs later on the CD. Still shows you how good some music from around here can be!

Condition? Is it sim free? I don't know much about the E1000 but I am looking to replace my current Motorola which is well past its sell by date. Need a phone where I can use my virgin sim card though.

So is this right beside The Tunnles?

I heard there was a guy who went down from Aberdeen in a van every so often. Don't have any info though. I wanted some stuff for my room but P&P came to over 70. Total order would have only been 200ish.

Remember it isn't always the shops fault. Suppliers can take ages to get stuff. I had to wait about 3 months to get an Electroharmonix pedal in Aberdeen. Same with my Boss TU2. The distributers apprently wouldn't send out any unless in bulk...or something. Still I think websites should only advertise stuff they have in stock at the time.

ooo folk...shall listen to that after Neighbours is done.

MMW and Bench. Only seen each band once this year and both were impressive. I really like the music Bench play, where as MMW, just played really well live...not my thing but still impressive.

They were doing door to door when it was on TV. Mid way through the feature my mum was interupted by a chap saying he was from Space Kitchens. My mum asked if he knew they were on Watch Dog at the time...I think he turned tail at that. There was a whole car of other sales men in the street getting ready to head out. Hopefully they thought twice about it.
