Mellon Collie was an utter triumph...overrated my arse. ....and as for Adore, well sorry....without Jimmy Chamberlin, I'm not even prepared to call that load of arse a Pumpkins album in the first place!!

Not a clue mate....i dont read every thread here so wouldnt know. If u've all seen it already, then I apologise....if u havent seen it, enjoy. HJ

http://www.clubvibes.com/forum/topic336194.html Sorry to post something from another forum, but you'll all be glad that i did. Check out this link....and scroll down thru all 10 pages worth to see some of the best photoshop work of all time. I havent laughed so much in years. HJ

On account of suffering from the plague of adolescent ginger hair, i was saddled with the nickname "Fanta Pants" for much of my youth. I still wake up at night screaming....

Fucking hilarious news. If I remember correcly, Steve Paterson and McCall were being touted in the media a couple of years ago as the cream of Scotland's young managers. Excellent prediction...not. Although McCall is a tit, and deserved to be punted, I would much prefer to see Livingston go down. Those bastards have no soul whatsover....they call their stadium something different every week, they've got shit fans and Richard Gough is their manager....nuff said.

Never heard the new album, but nonetheless found this review hilarious....what a load of "look at all the big words I know" wank. Why do people feel they have to write like such pompous pricks?

Possibly because their new album is a huge improvement on their last, they did a great Aberdeen gig last year, and because they are good.

Who's going to see Electric Six tomorrow night at the Music Hall?

50 actually

Absolute wank.... ....so according to your logic, the reason that other cities have so many successful bands is because people will turn out to watch any old shite? Sorry, just because I and others dont go and watch shite bands in Aberdeen does not make me unsupportive of the scene. The reason the scene isnt great - although i dont believe its as bad as you say - is because like it or not, Aberdeen doesnt have enough genuinely strong bands. We have a lot of good bands, but not many that people will flock from miles around to come and see. Furthermore, Aberdeen is isolated from the Central Belt so we dont get many bands travelling up here. If there were enough decent bands, we would have more venues and Drakes wouldnt have given gigs to as many mediocre bands as they did....the lack of interest in which is likely why the place eventually closed.

If anyone wants drumming inspiration, just download Vinnie Colaiuta's solo at the Buddy Rich memorial concert. You can get it on Shareaza and its an 80Mb download, but you'll be glad you made the effort..... No matter what instrument you play, you will be fecking awestruck....i promise you.

Tav, fucking spot on mate. He is not the most technically gifted drummer around today, but its absolutely fair comment to say that he is a huge reason for the masses of great metal drummers that are around today. Lars' probably couldnt play half the shit that Vinnie Paul, Paul Bostaph, Igor Cavelera, Joey Jordison could play, but each one of them rates Lars as a drum god, and for one simple reason.....he has written some of the greatest drum tracks in metal music history. The whole of ...and Justice for All is full of utterly brilliant drum tracks and the sixteenth note triplet groove in One is probably the most famous piece of metal drumming ever. I just wish he's use a decent snare drum these days instead of that tinny piece of shite that he uses on St.Anger.

never knew that...dont care a monkeys who it is though, its still a great drumming album!!

OK for practicing with I guess. I doubt they'd be up to much for live work. You need shells to give you the volume, resonance and projection required for gigging. But, i doubt Arbiter intended them as a gig-worthy setup anyway...they're cheap, they use up hardly any space, and they sound a million times better than a practice kit with rubber pads. You can buy them in Costcos. Well done Arbiter i say!

i went to see him a few years ago in HMT when he was doing a fundraiser for the Lonach Hall near Candacraig House in Strathdon where he lives. To be honest, it was crap...just a fucking rerun of the same material he did for one of his live videos....very funny nonetheless, but unless he's decided to go to the effort of writing some original material this time your better off buying his latest DVD.
