WyattSheepMask Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) So last year, Rivers Cuomo did a solo show and played a bunch of covers. Since then, loads of people online have been nagging him to cover Toto - Africa for some reason. Well, after a year of constant bombardment, he’s finally gone “alright! Ok! Fine” and with the rest of Weezer...covered Rosanna instead Edited May 25, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoote Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 SWERVE! They've done Africa as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Anyone given the new Ghost album a go? I’d listened to ‘Rats’ a bunch of times when that was put out, but had steered clear of other new stuff that had surfaced on YouTube and the other new single, ‘Dance Macabre’ I’ve listened to it about five times now, and I think it’s great. There’s enough there that is bringing in a new direction but enough to tie it back to previous work. There’s a couple of good prog-style on there too. Another giant step forward for the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herne's Son Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Does anyone know if there are still any clubs in London which have metal/rock nights? Gonna be back in the city for the first time in years this week and wonder if any of the old places are still around. Back in 2000-2004 there was a place you could go every night of the week but I heard it all died down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you're staying, but pretty sure Underworld and Electric Ballroom still have something on pretty much every night. There's a big one in Angel called Voodoo Rock, which is always a good laugh. Usually on a Friday. If you're around tonight, and willing to venture a tiny bit further out, then New Noise in Kingston is awesome on a Wednesday. Run by the good bois at Banquet Records, it's in a bar called Bacchus which is insanely small, is around £3 to get in, and you'll be able to get a bus back to Morden, then night tube it back.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 23, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 Vinnie Paul has passed away. No other news yet but im not aware of him being in ill health. Such sad news. Seemed lile a great guy and what a fucking drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Very sad to hear that. Great player and I’ll always respect that never secumbed to the pressure of staging a Pantera reunion that been rumoured for years with Zack Wylde on guitar. He always said “it’s not Pantera without Dime” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members martyngnr Posted June 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Vinnie always came across as a great guy in interviews. Terrible news. Like Wyatt says above I'm glad they never did the Pantera reunion with Zakk Wylde. That would have been awful.

Keith Houchen Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Didn't he seem to stick to his guns regarding Phil Pice Of Shit Anselmo and kept his door firmly shut? Fair play to Obelix for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) I’m not sure if they’d made up or not, but I don’t recall reading anything since that video of Anselmo surfaced so maybe they didn’t. Phil has kept a pretty low profile since. A Pantera ‘reunion’ with Zakk Wylde would have been horrible. Last time I saw Black Label Society at a festival (think it might have been Bloodstock) he did a shreadding solo that went on for nearly 10 minutes, the last 9 and a half of which didn’t sound any different to the first 30seconds Edited June 23, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members martyngnr Posted June 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2018 I really struggle to get on board with Zakk Wylde. I did quite enjoy the Pride And Glory album but everything else he has done has left me cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 24, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2018 same here, ive tried and i know he's playing a style of music i love but ive never really got on board. As for the Pantera reunion, im also glad it never happened. I understand the fans wanting it but they ended on such bitter terms and were nowhere near resolving them at the time of Dimebag's death, even since theres been a lot of hesitation to making up, its just a nasty situation thats probably best left as it is. A Wylde on guitar version would have just felt like a strange cash in. Back to Vinnie though, such a sad situation. I was lucky enough to see him perform with Pantera, Hellyeah and Damageplan which is pretty cool but hes just one of the best metal drummers of all time. Perhaps not the fastest of technically the best but such a distinctive and grooving style. He was a credit to every band he was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil has kept a pretty low profile since. He has been active with the Illegals, Superjoint and a few others (there's a few new albums about) but his voice is just utterly bollocksed at this point.
