Paul Di'Anno, Iron Maiden vocalist on the debut and Killers albums, dead at 66. He'd been touring, performing in a wheelchair, for some time and up until fairly recently too.

Shit band name thread crossover. State of this.

Last count I'd seen Korn 14 or 15 times, I was obsessed with them up until my mid-twenties and then just sort of stopped buying their music but would still see them live when they rolled through. The majority of the sets will still be the first five albums with a bit of new stuff chucked in. A fan selected setlist would be cool, they did that years ago on a US run and it looked great. Issues in full if we're getting full album sets though, that album crept in to my top spot of theirs some time ago and refuses to budge.

I am oddly upset by this. Not sure if it's watching One D basically grow up infront of our eyes, my daughter going through a light obsession with them at one point or just the fact he's so young but it's a real kick in the chest. How unbelievably sad.

I love Notting Hill. It's a real comfort watch for me.

I've never heard of Hero Realms! That looks like it could be spot on. I've just found this. Pricey but could be great for a flight. Tinny Dungeons Minimalist Pocket RPG in a Tin Box Perfect Travel Companion and Gift RPG Gifts D&D Gifts Tiny Role-playing Game - Etsy UK

I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks and after suggestions for card games to play on the flight with my 12 year old please. It needs to be portable, ideally the size of a regular deck of cards and not needing loads of tokens, dice, meeples, that sort of thing. We've got Monopoly Deal (which we really recommend, like Monopoly but way quicker and with less risk of falling out) but not great for just 2 players. There's a Battleship card game I've been looking at and I was considering Star Realms but he likes a fantasy D&D setting so that would be the preference if anybody knows of something that sits in that realm.

Automatics are great until you forget you're not in a manual car after three hours driving on the motorway and then decide to bury your foot in the brake pedal coming off the slip road on a motorway thinking it's the clutch and emergency stopping your three passengers in to oblivion. Which I definitely didn't do when we were in a rental on tour recently. Twice.

Sauces, pickles, jalapeno peppers and the like all go in the fridge but if I'm doing burgers or nachos or pulled pork or something I do let the sauces get up to room temperature, the barbecue equivalent of letting a red wine breathe I'm assuming. New jars of jam- cupboard. Opened jars of jam- fridge. Nutella- cupboard, despite the fact it goes a bit of a weird texture but I don't eat it so it's not my concern. Eggs- neither, they go in the ceramic chicken on the kitchen side.

Just the thumbnail is making me well up. I watch that video every time it comes up because fuck me, you can feel every one of those hits. Everything from 3:50 is just magical, you can see how much it means to him, the reassuring glances from Dave Grohl and then like you say, the sheer emotion as he batters the fuck out of that kit. Gets me every time.

The whole thing is great but from 1:44 onwards when "Simply The Best" starts. Chills every time.

"My fucking car bro!" Friend proceeds to bleed from his head.

I've never clocked that either and I LOVE Interpol. Just gone back and watched it and it's so unmistakeably them.

Eldest daughter surprised me with a trip to see Mean Girls at the cinema as part of it's 20th anniversary re-release. I was 19 when it was originally released and she was 5 months off being born. It's a film we've watched many times together so it was lovely to be asked and to experience it together on the big screen. I'd genuinely put this in my top 10 favourite films, it's just infinitely quotable, really well written and still very funny. There were plenty of points where I was stifling laughter, simply because it's a line me and my wife have repeated a hundred times at each other over the years. There were maybe a dozen points where me and my daughter were mouthing lines at each other as they happened. It's a shame the screening wasn't more packed as it was way too quite in there. Out of the ten people in the cinema, three of them were young lads, 18 or 19 years old, who had blatantly been dragged along by their girlfriends and clearly hadn't seen it before, highlighted by the fact that when Regina gets hit by the bus, two of them screamed.
