  5. Fightstar debut album...

    It's a hard one to call I'd say. I'd like to think I'd say "get to fuck" if someone offered me to play Busted esque shite, but at the same time, would you really turn away? Enough of it to financially secure yourself for life? I think a diguise might be a good idea though - so when I was all finished being a bustedeer, I could actually forge my desired musical career without the bullshit.

    i thought by law they couldnt just take it? some like payback schemes the usual aint it?

    That's what I thought. But I want to know exactly what I'm talking about when I go shout at them. So if anyone has any experience with this, and could give me, or point me to the relevant information, it'd be much appreciated!

  10. Tax / Pay - need help!

    Hey, I just got paid 30 of the 160 I earned this month. I was told this was because I had been overpaid last month by mistake, and they've just re-cooped their losses. It turns out this is the case. My loan had just come in around the same time, so I didn't notice the extra money. Now I'm left with 30 to live off for a month, as my loan is all spent up on Uni accomodation and nights out! Is this kind of practice allowed? It was my understanding that if your employer fucks up, they have to wait, and claim the money back in tax from the inland revenue? Does anyone know anything more in-depth about this? Or have any useful links?

    Cheers, Andy

    I would say Keeper 1 is a must have too' date=' for "A Tale That Wasn`t Right" if nothing else. I`ve got a pretty good collection of Helloween vinyl including picture discs, shaped picture discs and limited edition coloured vinyl stuff.

    Youthgonewild, are you referring to Keeper 1 as the first one or the mini-lp with Kai on vocals?

    I`d recommend "Live In The U.K." too, some of which was recorded in Scotland.[/quote']

    No I mean Walls Of Jericho. I count that as the 1st one, as it was their first full length studio release. I don't like Keeper 1 half as much as Keeper 2. I really like "Twilight of the Gods" , A Tale That Wasn't Right" & "Follow The Sign" but am nae that keen on the rest. It's half decent, but I wouldn't say it was in any way on par with Part 2. I've only heard a couple of tracks off the Mini LP off of the "Treasure Chest" box set, so I can't fully comment on that but I wisna that keen on what I heard.

    My Opinion :up:

    Buy:

    + Master of the Rings

    + The Time of the Oath

    + Better Than Raw*

    + The Dark Ride*

    + Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy*

    # Keeper of the Seven Keys - Part 2

    Consider:

    # Chameleon

    # Keeper of the Seven Keys - Part 1

    + Rabbit Don't Come Easy

    + Helloween - High Live

    Avoid:

    # Pink Bubbles Go Ape (it does have one or two ace tracks, but most of it is tripe)

    ~ Walls Of Jericho

    *= Exceptional Album - A Must Have!

    + = Andi Deris on Vocals

    #= Michael Kiske on Vocals

    ~= Kai Hansen on Vocals

    Hope that's of some help :)

    That was you?! Didn't have a clue man sorry!

    I remember that' date=' discussing Horizons weren't we? The Dark Brown Sunburst one particularly...

    Good to know you went for something that will be a great guitar! I also remember not knowing too much about the Ibanez. You said you had the non Prestige version though yes?

    I can't remember your face atall, so so you are YouthGoneWild if in again! :up:[/quote']

    The Prestige SZ is fantastic. If anyone else ever asks, you can tell them it's the shit! I still may buy an ESP at some point, but the Ibanez is perfect for me right now. Stick to what you know, then venture! :up:

    What I heard was that he was trying to flog his business to his competitors. ?(

    Dunno what's happening with them.

    I think I have a slight bias to R&B though - for some reason... :laughing:

    Anyone in particular? :S

    This was also my understanding? And dude, I went for the Ibanez Prestige opposed to the ESP Standard! Cheers for the help though dude :up:
