at least the "total number of Plays" is being bumped up on purevolume because of this thread. Makes Stayover look good

7 stone lighter arent from aberdeen either. (Damn beaten to the point) ^^

Quik definately haven't lost anything with the departure of Ben. They have picked up right where they left off and are ready to move ahead. Ian is an awesome drummer - really tight. Perhaps the only criticism is he needs to hit the drums a little harder (but thats just pit picking on my part). Cant wait to see what this year brings for them.

I would walk to Glasgow just to see Rise Against

it's a fish-eye lense that i havent cropped yet to get rid of the big black boarders (which im not very keen on to be honest)

I dont think those recordings do the band much justice. I saw them play live and they are miles better and VERY energetic. These guys will be a very entertaining band to watch if nothing else.. On a similar note: What do you think of those photos?

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah!

I have the sepcial editon dvd. It explains the movie a little better

I don't think it's a wise move for any venue to be particularly selective about the bands who play there. It would be an entirely different story if Lost had broken some equipment on purpose or something...

you are barring Lost from playing the moorings? Because someone (who wasnt a member of the band) complained about the sound? I'm just curious..

that was a surprisingly good read.

I <3 aberdeen-music

Sam, I think Bob was also making a joke...

4 bands. Dirtbox. At Long Last. Stayover and My minds weapon

I saw you take the last one of UnderOath and thought "Holy shit, that's going to make an awesome photo" and it does. Nice one.

Asian Morrisette was born in Drakes... At the gig that Aaron and I put on where every band but one pulled out which ended up as an acoustic night with Asian, Bob and Ryan. I also remember reading Nicky Ca$ino's bannana story on the table.

What a fuckin twat. He really is the dumbest president the USA has ever had. He is expoiting the his own country. The USA has the potential to do so much to help the world but as long as that knuckle-fuck is in the white house, nothing will ever get done.

It could just be me but the first part of your post, Cloud made no sense what-so-ever. You have to admit, there are more than a few people who come onto Aberdeen-music for the sole purpose of posting in the Wasteland and little else. Aberdeen-music should be all about gigs and happenings music-wise throughout Aberdeen, not what kind of sandwhich you had for lunch. Gig cancelations dont happen as often as you make out, fair enough there are occations where a band pulls out of a gig but more times than not, the gig still goes ahead. Back to the point about reviews, there are never the lack of threads after a fair size gig where people give their opinions of the bands that were playing but it nearly always turns into a slagging match. What happened to the REAL reviews, the ones that were meant to supply constructive criticisms?

I have to agree with Bob on this this one. I think that the scene in Aberdeen was waaasy better a good 2/3 years ago - simply on the subject of attendance. People actually made the effort to go to gigs. I remember the times when Lava used to be packed - and that was just for local line ups. I've seen a fair few good bands lately but when ever i've been at a gig (no matter what venue) it has been close to empty. Nobody makes the effort to go to gigs anymore. In a way, I think aberdeen-music has hindered the growth of the aberdeen scene. There are so many people who just sit at their computer and bitch about other bands and talk about shit (have you seen the wasteland lately? ) When was the last time anyone even looked at AUBL (they do have a website y'know) Do half of you even know what AUBL is? Like Bob said, there used to be new reviews on there all the time. hmm sit at a computer screen and slate a band that you dont like or go to a gig? I know what I'd rather do..

heard it was Sugarcult.
