According to a report about a NJPW live event on pwinsider.com, Yoshitatsu suffered a neck injury from a Styles Clash.

Dangerous move.

Shouldn't have been scared and nervous to then fuck up his chin tucking, to paraphrase Mr. Styles.

Tonight should be a good card. Not really wanting to pay £17 for it though. Bah!

Mastodon are playing the O2 Academy in Glasgow next week. I thought it might be good to check out some live music whilst I'm here anyway.

 

How are they live?

 

And does anyone know how big the venue is?

O2 Academy holds about 2,500. Downstairs completely standing room. Side balconys are standing and the balcony face onto the stage is all seating.

Can't help on whether Mastodon are good live or not. Not seen them unfortunately.

 

 

I feel like I'm being stupid here, but I can't really tell the difference between the two there.

 

Neither can I. The whole 60fps vs 90fps thing I don't really get. Must be my eyes.

 

 

I don't think that was the point of the video. It was more to do with how much more foliage there was on PS4 compared to the XB1 version. Everything else seems to be exactly the same. 

 

It explains more here - http://www.gamepur.com/news/17016-gta-v-ps4-vs-xbox-one-comparison-gifs-shows-startling-and-noticeable.html

 

My comment was tongue in cheek, although it does seem odd that the XB1 had to give up that extra little bit of detail.

 

Ahh, I never watched the video. I just jumped in with the usual PS4/Xbone comparisons.

In the gifs there is a lot of difference. In the video not much. I've yet to play through it properly though. I'm still messing about with Sunset Overdrive and then onto Halo before I get a good go at GTA V.

Big Bank Hank of Sugarhill Gang fame died at the age of 57 today. He was suffering from cancer.

Has Sigourney Weaver been photoshopped to fuck in that photo? She's looking very young there.

What songs of theirs are the same?

 

The only two I can name are Going to Ibiza and Venga Bus and those are pretty different sounding..

Nah I was saying I was in the same mind as the Irish lass and I thought that "We Like To Party" and "Venga Bus" were two different songs. Complete spaz moment to be fair.

Yeah, The Vengabus was essentially Up and Down with added lyrics and bus noises.m.

So it is. I feel even more stupid now!

Anyone found the Teddy Long Youshoot yet?

This Irish comedian Aisling Be a was on Buzzcocks last night, which I ended up watching because Reasons.  

 

 

 

Her face when she got the Vengaboys question wrong. I would have answered the same thing. I had to go and google "Venga Bus" as I was sure that was the name of that tune as well. Before I got onto the web I was starting to give Vengaboys pelters in my mind due to their two biggest songs being essentially the same.       

Watching seasons of The Walking Dead. I'm currently on season 2. They've just killed off my favourite character. I'm quite annoyed as I find the other characters shallow and/or very annoying. Especially Rick's wife and son. His wife really is a cunt isn't she? Time to start backing Darryl.

so Biffy played first tonight. I was really surprised with that being a gig in Glasgow and all. As I thoight. Didn't like them. Thought it was very self-indulgent. Most of it is just noise in my opinion apart from the riffs on Bubbles and Many Of Horror. Also I'll never forgive them for a big building intel they gave a song to go into the softest of shite. What's the point in building up a crowd like that to immediately drop them back down?

Slash was on top form. Probably the most I've enjoyed any of his gigs despite the short set time. Meant he didn't play Rocket Queen which was a bummer. But on the bright side. Meant we didn't get a 20 minute rendition of it with a 15 minute solo.

 

Log into Unblock US on the internet explorer on the xbox one, I'm sure that's how I got it to work for me.

Nah. Just tries to get me to install the setup app for Windows 8 but you can't do that on XB1.

 

Maybe I am mistaken.

Are you using the following DNS settings?

Primary DNS: 208.122.23.23

Secondary DNS: 208.12.23.22

That's what I'm using with no problems when it comes to WWE Network.

 

The Biffy/Slash gig tomorrow was only £10 in total, no booking fees or anything. Not shabby so I thought I'd go. May stay for Biffy and see what they're like live (only if I get made to stay), but I think I saw them at Download before Soundgarden and wasn't impressed. Maybe it was them, I can't remember.

Biffy subbed for Metallica last time they played which was the Saturday, and Megadeth played before Soundgarden the following day

 

The new Machine Head album is streaming in full on the bands youtube channel. Follow the link from metal hammer - http://metalhammer.teamrock.com/news/2014-11-05/machine-head-stream-bloodstone-diamonds-in-full

 

That will be it. To be fair, I'm sure I watched both Biffy and Megadeth from the same spot, haha! Looks like the people I'm going with want to stay for Biffy. So I'll make up my mind then.

Going to the Biffy Clyro / Slash MTV gig tomorrow in Glasgow. Would it be rude if I left after Slash played? That is assuming they'll be on first. I'm just not a fan of Biffy Clyro at all. What's the forum's perception of Biffy?

Is Interstellar loud? It looks loud.

Whoever is cast as the daughter says it was loud. She was on the One Show last week and said it was loud as it was "A movie not to be watched. It's a movie to be experienced." I don't think I will be doing either.

Phill Rudd charged with being involved in an attempt to hire a hitman to kill two men and also drug possesion.

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd on New Zealand murder plot charge

The drummer of the hard rock group AC/DC, Phil Rudd, has appeared in a New Zealand court on charges of attempting to arrange a murder.

Mr Rudd, who was born in Australia, has also been charged with possessing the drugs methamphetamine and cannabis, and of making threats to kill.

The musician's waterfront house in Tauranga, on New Zealand's North Island, was raided on Thursday morning.

AC/DC are due to release a new album later this year.

Mr Rudd, 60, was released on bail after a brief appearance at Tauranga district court.

As part of his bail conditions, he must not have any contact with anyone involved in the alleged murder plot.

Local media reports say that the alleged plot targeted two men. The judge ruled that their names as well as that of the alleged hit-man cannot be revealed.

Mr Rudd will appear in court again on 27 November. He has yet to enter a plea.

nder New Zealand law, the charge of attempting to "procure" a murder carries a jail sentence of up to 10 years.

A police official quoted by the SunLive news website said the information that led to the raid on the house was provided by a member of the public.

Mr Rudd was kicked out of the band in 1983 and rejoined in 1994.

But he did not appear in a new photo of band members released last month to promote their upcoming album Rock Or Bust, and was reportedly absent from the filming of a new music video, prompting online speculation about whether he was still in the band.

Mental!

Seeing at the other film thread seems to have been deleted, I did indeed go to the Alien/Aliens double bill on Halloween. Thoroughly enjoyed it I must say.

I saw a Bill Cosby "I shouldn't pay higher taxes & anti-muslim" type one the other day. Something about being 83 and tired. Anyone else seen that one? Ridiculous resorting to besmirching Bill's good name!

San Andreas has been re-released on 360, there's a price glitch and it's showing up at £2.99. I'm tempted but twitch users are playing it and saying the controls are all botched, it's an android port or something.

That's can't be right. Not as if they're using touch screen controls, is it?

Is TMNT full of big explosions and rubbish CGI? The type of thing I can expect from Michael Bay?

Also just to let you guys know. I've booked tickets for the Alien/Aliens double head on Halloween, so I've avoided Aliens until then.

I've just bought Fantasia: Music Evolved. I'm sorry.

Don't forget Zahn's performance in Daddy Day Care!
