Of course there will be! Track 2 is titled "where dragons fly and heroes die (Swords In The Wind)"

that just made my day

Does this mean we can expect Ben to be dressed like an Lord of the Rings character at the next MMW gig?

The X-Certs - Long Ago Boy

Cuts - Summer

Enya - Orinoco Flow

Nightwish - Ermaajrvi

I hope there's going to be a song about dragons and ice on the EP..or i'm going to be upset

At the risk of being lynched, is it just me who thinks that Enya's music is some of the most beautiful stuff ever made?

haha, camie got rogered by roger

Nightwish/Sonata Arctica..say no more Nightwish's stuff is done so well to the point where it adds a whole new dimension to the music, however.

My Vitriol were decent recorded, but oh so crap live..saw them at V2002, and it was obvious that they were one hit wonders..changing guitar after every bloody song wasn't cool either

Hahaha, Camie, a very special friend of yours is going to this gig..feel free to punch him in the face from me

how could you miss it?

I thought the Ukraine's entry was pretty good too

1) Manics, December 4th 2002 at the SECC - fucking incredible as far as emotional rollercoasters go..I think the entire day was an event, from meeting loads of people in the queue to randomness all round, ending on the absolute high that was A Design For Life with the entire crowd singing along. I was tempted to say V2002 instead, but no, the SECC grabs it. Sadly, it's probably the last time that they actually mattered anymore - but what a great memory to end it all on.

2) The X-Certs, 2nd January 2004 - simply because there was something electric in the air, and how often do you get to experience that, especially locally?

3) My own promoted gig - simply because it was more of an event for 50/60 friends from the halls that i stayed in, everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was worth all the trauma that it took for the thing to take place. It wasn't the most professional of set ups, wasn't the best of organisation..but watching some people who had never played in front of an audience before really step up and do themselves proud was possibly again one of those life changing events. A friend of mine was utterly nervous as fuck about doing a solo acoustic set, especially after he was drawn to go on after all the other acoustic spots - he had never performed before in front of an audience that wasn't just a few friends, and he managed to really make something special happen.

you mean you drink grog at the moorings

Where do I sign? I can't be left on the shore while the scene sails away, can I?

Blackjack Benson Philips?! has simon ross been inflitrating your ship?!

(I believe Flash is also your man, he has a parrot/bird/feathered fiend of some sort )

erm, local bands?

The X-Certs (nuff said)

The Cuts (again, nuff said)

Radio Lucifer (how can anyone NOT be a fan after the other night?)

Femora (for sheer chugga chugga chugga)

Deladus (woaaah..fantastically different)

My Minds Weapon (for being entertaining)

King Liar And The Brutes (Ted DiBiase is the man!..here by virtue of that alone)

Hey, I got drunk there once for 15, including 6 to get in..

..might have been something to do with the fact that i can't handle beer

!!!!!!!!!!!

YES. PLAY IT. Sonata Arctica covered it too

being honest, Femora will start to kick serious ass with the more gigs played (the whole chugga chugga chugga aspect is coming through now), STML reminded me heavily of QOTSA, and what's more - they pulled it off, and Radio Lucifer were just damned good full stop, I've never seen so much style

Woah, I would definitely pay a few quid to see you guys play with STML again

it's an art form, don't you know? not just anyone can pick up a sword, go and slay a few dragons and then come home to sing about it while combining that with LotR study

fuck yeah, i think it's safe to say that i came in expecting one thing and got blown away by what i saw i'm definitely going to have to catch them next time, just for the sheer entertainment alone

Slaying the dragon is a favoured recreational persuit in parts of scandinavia, don't you know

*signs here*

as far as i'm concerned, Kings Of The Nordic Twilight is the greatest power metal song ever written

I WILL find a way to go to Bloodstock this year too..

right, that's it..he's getting hurt come next week. or two.

Ahh, nothing beats a spot of Black Rose Immortal to successfully confuse the fuck out of whoever's in the vicinity
