Best 3 Bands heard this year for the first time The Casting Out, Polar Bear Club, The Gutter Twins Best gigs this year Gallows(ABC), The Bronx (ABC2), and possibly The Gaslight Anthem/King Blues on Wednesday Best Releases of 2008 Metallica - Death Magnetic, Trap Them - Seizures in Barren Praise, The Casting Out - EP, The Bronx - III, Night Marchers - See You In Magic, The King Blues - Save the world, get the girl (album of the year), H20 - Nothing to Prove, etc etc etc Best Result of the Year Getting a few publications. Not very rock n roll. Best Purchase of the year A house. We'll see if that is a long term gain. Biggest Dissapointment - Guns n Roses, Fucked Up, Genghis Tron Looking forward to 2009 Metallica, New Guitar, getting off BT

Death magnetic is ace. Chinese Democracy is terrible - there are NO GOOD SONGS, Axls voice is clearly shot to fuck. Worst album I have ever listened all the way through to, with hope in my heart that it would get good......

Axl was a bellend and still produced Appetite and Use Your Illusion. On this, his voice is shot (I reckon you can actually hear it getting worse, depending on how old the track is), there are NO good tunes, a complete lack of attitude, and just general crapness.

Holy shitfuck, it's awful. I was fooled by positive online reviews, but it is truly, truly fucking awful.

Hang on - quinnsdude banned? For what? Terrible music taste? My days may be numbered then.....

Where's the noise?

Some folks i know who went said it was a bit rubbish - although largely due to the overfull venue?

I have newfound love for the awesome Regurgitator!

Protest the Hero: MySpace.com - Protest The Hero- FORTRESS OUT NOW! - Whitby, CA - Metal / Punk / Thrash - www.myspace.com/protestthehero Emo AND Powermetal. Gads. The kids seem to love it, get your hate in early.

Deez Nuts - Rep Your Hood. Seriously, seriously so bad it's good party hardcore. Terrible. But ace.

See if you can spot Speedo from RFTC on Yo Gabba Gabba......

That was Clutch and co.uk. Great gig! Poor finish.

So who else will be there? - Metallica, Machine Head and The Sword "in the round" - i have my tickets!

Burn Down Rome - Devotion. Quite good - Gallows meets Dead Hearts.

Hooray! But I don't think I can go.......

I Rise - Redemption The King Blues - Save the world, get the girl (pre-order) The Steal - Bright Grey (Pre-order) Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Modern Life (Pre-order. Hang the fuck on - is that them on the cover of the NME?

A Perfect Life with a View of the swamp. Anyone got one going spare?

You are SOOOO wrong about that MachineHead record, but I guess we're never going to agree on that. CoB - I thought they were a joke band? Slipknot - terrible is maybe an exaggeration, but it is certainly far from great. I'd go if it wasn't so expensive (and I have tickets for Gaslight Anthem the week before)

It made my nipples hard.

Not that i'm defending any of that if it is true, and I'm sure he IS a cunt, but (1) that bottle of jaeger story is interweb bollocks, and (2) the police decided the rest of the story was bollocks too. actually, i've just realised I don't care.... Several cooler members have deemed it shit - I will hang my head in shame (I still quite like it though - sorry to dissapoint!) 8-)

Ha ha! Nah, I quite like it - sounds like Sikth!

Here: MySpace.com - santa claus - UK - Chinese pop - www.myspace.com/bmthnew OK, if you don't like metal, don't bother, but this is actually quite good, and I HATE this band.

Then yes, you were.

Did they not make a fucking packet on the "deluxe" pre-order with all the extra gubbins? FWIW, I downloaded from their site and paid nowt. Actually, i haven't listened to it yet....

Indeed - sounds ace! Bought the ep offa iTunes (not something i'd usually do, but i ain't got a record player...) ps Was I standing next to you at Converge?
