Me neither - its got its moments but is not the most captivating 42 minutes and 6 seconds of audio ever produced.

That'll be the "song" SDOIT and not the album then... bugger - and where's Glass Prison??? I ask ye

And Demon, NO-ONE steals my viking hat! Blaze got to wear it for a photo because he's Blaze, but I even then I only let him wear it for a moment, and I was present to make sure he didn't steal it... Now every time I wear it I shall have the power of Blaze... Oh yes I shall.

LOL!!!

Come on Spoondogg, you know as well as I do that those notes aren't wrong - they're Jazz

That's all good man - none of what happened was really anyone's fault its just what always happens at these gigs. Too much of a good thing and all that

im quite peeved to travel to aberdeen from buckie, just to play 25mins! but well, gotta take the rough with the smooth i suppose.

Come on dude, 25 minutes in Kef is all anyone on a local band night is ever going to get - especially when they try and cram too many bands into one evening.

Just think yourself lucky, Hot Mangu only got 15 minutes (4 songs) cos the whole night was running so late - again this is purely because there is no need to put 5 bands on in one 3 and a half hour night.

What's everyone else's thoughts on this? I'd definitely rather go and see 3 (4 a the most) bands play a relaxed gig in which they aren't playing against the clock. It definitely affects the quality of the sound as well - for me, the gig last night sounded pretty bad. From what I can gather this was because of technical problems. If the staff had enough time in between the bands to be able to do something about this then I'm confident it would've sounded great - as other gigs in Kef have been recently. As a venue it used to be pretty well known for its shoddy sound but of late most of the gigs I've been to there have sounded excellent.

Easy - just switch to the neck pickup, whack on WAY too much gain and as much reverb as you can! Just call me Yngwie

Its at the Blue Lamp - what a dumbass Simon is

Can't wait, Woop Woop!

Consider him asked

He say's he can play one of your ones if ye like cos he's got the CD if that helps you at all?

where do we get them from? im not missing this gig

Either Henry J's or One-up I think. Henry J's definitely has some cos I was in the other day and I'm pretty sure One-up have some too

Now THAT would kick ass...

Kick ass??

If you are planning on coming along to se Blaze at moshulu on April 19th then can you please let us know asap so we can get tickets to eveyone who wants one.

Tickets are 7.50 (bastarding cheap compared to prices on the rest of the tour) and we have them NOW!!!

The more we sell the better - we need to make sure that venues in town know that there is still a demand for this kind of music.

Thanks!

You need to get out more. Just because you don't like them doesn't completely invalidate everything they did musically. I'm certainly not Wishbone Ash's biggest fan but that doesn't mean I have the "la la la - I don't like it so it didn't happen" attitude that you seem to have.

Erskine what are you doing? Why are you giving chase and shining your lights full beam into their rear window?

Erskine, you're a bellend!"

:laughing: I'd forgotten about that... what a bellend!!

I reckon that Megadeth beat Slayer every time, unless you're listening to "Risk", lets forget that ever happened :O Such ace, catchy tunes and blinding musicianship.

I know they may not be "heavy" enough for some people but I reckon thats a huge part of the appeal - they don't need to bludgeon(sp?) you with relentless chuggery and double kick all the time, they write really dynamic songs that hold your attention and make them really accessible. Oh sorry.. I forgot - accessible = nae cool

PS Al Pitrelli is ace - anyone that can play as fast as he can with such a retarded picking technique (almost as retarded as Dan's ) is alright in my book.
