i'll give this a listen when i get home, i downloaded a track a while ago (fuckin sick of it all?) and it really didnt do it for me, but i will listen later and let you know...

well i for one am going to start saving now so i can afford to prop up the bar during the slayer set.....

...MAYBE the answer is already on atomweb? dont ask me, i just wrote it!

ah, but is it enough to lure you into drakes on saturday?! Go on, you know you want to!!!

Total Guitar #95, hunt it down and buy it! i mean its quite possible you already know most of it but it has a full lesson by him in it, well worth a read man, he is a trained guitar teacher after all!

my heart dropped too... what a doofus i feel....

My sister phoned me during battery and the unnamed feeling from the Glasgow green show.... so jealous....

yeah good shit guys! keep em coming!

Just spoke to sandy, says that will be cool! G-dove is my bitch so i decided on his behalf he will also be able to do it! All is good, Looking forward to it!

(just realised i've spent the last week listening to it in mono... have to say, its twice as good in sterio!) Just out of interest Del, did you buy it in the end? what did you think?

Sounds yubbish.... what? no speakers on college computers? ahhhh! but seriously, are these off your new one? heard a bit of it, much awesomeness!

there's a thread on the wasteland and the Techincal help forums about this dude

*touches* ooooh!

yeah, bought it just after it came out, couple of good songs near the start but i honesty dont think i've managed to listen to the whole thing in one go yet, it got a bit boring from the middle on i thought. haven't listened to atall since about a week after it came out, average. but credit to him for writing all the songs in a similar style to the people who were performing them, but it just turned out a bit of a novelty record.

wow this year has been the closest i've come to remembering! Happy birthday you big oaf! probably see you at the weekend or something for much drunken hilarity! Rock!

I dont really see what this album has to do with old school? unless of course you mean really old school as in M.F.K.R. Listening to the album again and it is truely awesome. Familiar in some places different in others. Its cool that at long last the guitarists are getting to show thier talent, everyone knows how ace Joey, Sid, Corey etc at their trades, but Mick and Jim have always been denied. Mind you, after hearing his solos on the Stone Sour Record, i dont belive for one minute that any of the widdly bits are Jim. But yeah, Prelude is awesome, sets a totally different mood for this album. The Blister Exisits- cool but for some reason i cant ever remember it, it kind of reminds a bit of some of these redneck metal bands like drowning pool of union underground in places. Three Nil- basically People=Shit and My Plauge falling down the stairs together, brutality with decent melodies, actually most of the album falls under that statement. Duality- still amazing. Hardcore beer keg action, melodies just get in your head and refuse to leave. Opium of the People- the first 30 seconds of this song make it for me! Big Widdly trade off! yuss!! Circle-.... hmm it works in the great scheme of the album, has good melodies, but is a bit bland by itself, oh except the hot cello action!... Welcome-... Slipknot or System? hmm! kinda your standard Slipknot mid album song. Vermillion- really edgy, offputting haunting type thing, then just out of nowhere this amazing vocal melody appears in the chorus... Current favourite on the album. Pulse of the Maggots- carnage, sheer fucking carnage, slipknot doing what they do so fucking well, laying waste to everything about them. Before I Forget- totally reminds me of something else, the vocals are really familiar, cant place them. Song is precision tho, the stops in the chorus, clinical! great tune. Vermillion pt2 - in essence this is just the other song but acoustic. its amazing how the same song but in acoustic sound so different. it works better heavy.... the same sentiments in acoustic just sounds a bit cheesy in places, but the chorus is truely beautiful. The Nameless- ooh another really offbeat, edgy affair leading to full on carnage, leading to.... acoustic chorus?!? yes this song is slipknot showing exactly what they can do and how damn good they are at it, that amazing thing about it is, not only does it all fit together perfectly, it is an awesome song. The Virus of Life- 'Scissors' is the first thing that comes to mind, its the trademark slipknot brooding, dark, ugly, self indulgent, near-end-of-album masterpiece. Danger, Keep Away- A very solmn end to this perfectly crafted album, haunting synths and backing 'ahhs', this is a dark place with the only beam of light being coreys searing vocal harmonies. What an album... the first time i heard it, i was so unsure, thought i'd spent 5 months waiting for a complete dissapointment... but i was the same with Iowa, a couple of listens and it's grown so much. I'm completely content. Makes you want to Jump around, break stuff, scream your lungs out and cry all the same time. Ace!

i sat about for the first day and smoked my own weight in fags...... the second day consisted of lots more fags, taking photos and a kick about out the back of the studio....... oh there was a spot of recording too dont worry, my real studio report will be a bit more exciting and indepth, prolly on atomweb soon, i'll let you know!

two words so far.... Unashamedly Different..... i thought they were just being mellowdramatic on their website when it said "forget everything you thought you knew about slipknot", no really.... do it!

I was the first person to get it from One Up! then got home just to find that not only did it have multimedia content so the DVD player didn't pick up the Audio, the CD player didn't ever recognise it as a disc... grrr, so 2 hours later im in college and i just got listening to it now. Will update when i've actually had a chance to listen through, currently onto track 4 - Duality, which naturally was awesome but heard it before a heap of times. it has an ace intro (the album) alot more laid back, not so mechanical as the last 2 records, anyway, will update when i eventually hear it through. Rock!

The way it's looking just now man, no. We'll be done in the studio around the end of May/begg. of June, then everyones favourite viking hat wearing vocalist is on holiday for 2 weeks sometime in June, then our Aberdeen Gig Block from the CD Launch starts at the beggining of July. So as much as August seems a million miles away, we really only have 2 giggable weeks out of all that time. We may still get something sorted but it looks doubtful!

How did that thing happen a couple of years ago on Belmont Street? i remember Liber8 and Masaimune playing or something? Like, who organised it? I know it wasnt a festival (3 bands on belmont st) but surely its going to be alot more plausable, and more people are likely to actually go?

aw ace! you are the bringer of the artwork to end all artwork! Cool! Cheers!!!

They are where they've always been (i hope so anyway!), it'll be getting re-orgnised soonish so they're all in the same place Live Photos= Music>Gig Archive Posed embarassing types= Band>Photos
