No worries dude, like I say, if you want to leave Broken Alive and All We Are then it's all good. I'm pro-downloading in some ways as it gets exposure, but leave them something to buy the album for

Yeah, seeing as both EPs are now unavailable I don't really mind folk sharing them as MP3s... although the less people that hear 'Like Disco Never Happened' the better Although anyone who was a particular fan of that EP may want to get their baws down to the moorings tomorrow

I have no problem with people ripping it. And I really think it's a good thing if a couple of tracks are shared... I put 'Exile' on emule, and a couple of tracks from the album. Got to be a good thing to get heard in as many places as possible... It's just the entire album being there that bothers me slightly. Feel free to share Broken Alive and All We Are if you like. And yes, if I had as much cash as Arse Ulrich I wouldn't be worried about this.

on P2P? Apparently it's on a certain P2P network... interesting. In some ways it's good, as it gets the music out there, but I'd ask anyone who likes it to buy it from the fathippyrecords website http://www.fathippyrecords.co.uk/FHSproduc...sp?pid=FH25BACD We are a small band, and we never have any cash! Nice to think someone thought it'd be worth their time to rip the whole album though...

Moorings this Saturday! There's a thread about it down there with 'fudge' in the title

That's pure heartwarming stuff

Yup, that's the one... still, no more!

Seriously?! I'm 23!! I do think I look younger now though Aye, it's going to be weird on stage, but I'm sure I'll get used to it... and no more swallowing my own hair mid-song (which happened every gig more or less!)

Christ, news travels fast... I only did it last night! Dudes, I'm afraid the time was right, I was headed fast for a Townsend-style skullet But it's okay, metal lies in the soul and shall never be vanquished

Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera (Live in Graz 2005)

The 22nd with Double Jack at Drummonds Probably back to the normal length of setlist...

Happy Birthday Have a rukkus day!! See what I did, I used noun as an adjective! Truly crazy...

Cheers guys! We had a great time, and while there may have been numerous points where things did not go according to plan (see 'Rass falling over' or 'Mac's amp failing him at the crucial moment') we had an amazing time... the crowd reaction was just brilliant, we are very lucky to have fans like you lot! It was great to get a longer set than usual (although still not long enough to play all the songs we wanted to! ) and hopefully there will be a similar gig at some point in the future. Who knows, we might even have some new songs for you by then given that we have finally played every song from the album live... Thanks again for making it a great night for us

You won't be making our gig then? You shall be sorely missed sir. And I've bought a special hat too, I know how you just love special hats

Just a last heads up in case any metal fans are reading the forum with nowt to do tonight and a spare fiver. Doors are in 40 minutes!

Dare I ask why not? Be you dissing your harmony-loving solo-shredding wanky-widdling prog-powering clunk-bassing brothers? Well, we've written a song called 'Hog is gay', so there. Well, actually we haven't, but we could. Well, actually to be honest we probably won't. Well... well.

Unfortunately they've had to cancel their gigs just at the moment due to one of the members having ungetoutableof work commitments A mighty shame, but Blessed are tight as fuck (and after all, they are a Brian Blessed tribute band!)

Tomorrow (Sunday) at Moshulu: Black Atom Godplayer We Shall Be Blessed Doors at 7:30. Tickets a fiver from the bands or the bassment, maybe a little more on the door. We have a nice long set :-) I know there is a thread on this in our forum but I know many people don't venture there. The other bands are teh r0xx0r!!!111 Seriously, we'd appreciate it if you came along. Cheers!

We're back! And yes, it was very ace. Murders in the Rue Morgue, Another Life, Drifter, Phantom of the Opera, Where Eagles Dare, Revelations... muchos awesomeness And sunburn, yes I forgot to mention, muchos sunburn. D'oheth.

Queensryche - Hostage

I broke my foot at Lava right at the very end of our set about 2 and a half years ago... Our crash endings used to go on forever, I remember sitting on stage screaming in agony and the ending just went on forever... Erskine carried me out after the gig. Missed my last week of work and my first week of university with my foot in a soft cast. Not only embarrassing but also very rubbish indeed. Twat.
