Alkaline Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Saw these guy's for the first time at the Truant gig and what can i say..........Awesome. i was unsure what to expect as so many people feel the need to bag them on here, but i wasn't dissapointed at all. I was initially gutted as i was told earlier in the day that they wouldn't be playing due to Ben being ill, so i'd once again resigned myself to missing out on seeing them. So it was a welcome surprise when i noticed Dan and Jamesy shuffling over to the stage to set up. Regardless of Ben's illness they put on a show that showed that not only do they have the talk but they definately have the talent to back it up. I've always been a fan of Dan's guitar playing, annoyingly though he just seems to get better and better. Ben delivers his vocals with depth and feeling and although he might not have the best singing voice, he's a talented frontman none the less. A definite credit to the aberdeen scene with an enviable work ethic. i really hope these guys go far as they definately deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aileen Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 nice to see weapon getting some encouragement for once!! people seem way too quick to jump down their throats but they deserve this sort of recognition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 They are a a good talented band no matter what is said about them, be it due to little arguments with them or just general "i hate emo" crap. Weapon are one of Aberdeens strongest bands and good luck to them with what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 So what happened to the MMW forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 So what happened to the MMW forum? Jamesy deleted it - rather spontaneously I might add....I would also like to say immense amounts of thanks to Alkaline for this thread. Really appreciate the kind words and always glad that someone 'new' to the band enjoyed our set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porter Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Tis true... people are too harsh on this band. I've been a fan for a while and they just seem to get better and better. I think that alot of folk judge them before they hear them which is really unfair.. but lets face it, that happens to everyone! But yeah, mmw are ace. End of story!xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Jamesy deleted it - rather spontaneously I might add....I would also like to say immense amounts of thanks to Alkaline for this thread. Really appreciate the kind words and always glad that someone 'new' to the band enjoyed our set! Nae probs. I just tell it like it is. Would be coming to the halloween gig but my band (Cedar Rose) are playing with Cherryfalls at the Lemon Tree that night. Look forward to hearing some more new stuff as well.
