Paid Members eugenespeed Posted December 15, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you like The Rotted i'd highly recommend giving Fukpig a listen. Â Will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Fukpig at Damnation and the last Deathfest were just spectacular both times. I wish they'd play live more. Â I foolishly didn't enuoy The Rotted as much as Gorerotted at first, but I've realised the error of my ways. Â Long live the underground chat. While it's here, I'll put in a few snazzy bands kicing about the UK: Bonesaw, Esoteric Youth, Cruciamentum, Vallenfyre, Winds of Genocide, Skiplickers and Sufferinfuck. Give 'em a go.

d-d-d-dAz Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Has anyone heard the McCartney/'Nirvana' collaboration yet? Â It's fucking bonkers seeing McCartney front a full throttle, post-punk alt-rock band. It's bloody ace, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 16, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 There's something fishy about Issues, though. They've got more than a whiff of 'manufactured' about them; a bunch of blokes with no discernible prior connection to one another who got signed to a major label subsidiary after three weeks of being a ban with no original tracks or demo. hmmmm.  on the subject of Grohl, he's making a documentary about Sound City Studios and putting together a wild soundtrack of collaborations, check this out:  1.

Philo_Vance Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Has anyone heard the McCartney/'Nirvana' collaboration yet? It's fucking bonkers seeing McCartney front a full throttle, post-punk alt-rock band. It's bloody ace, though.  I thought it was pretty cool seeing them up there together, as a 'what-the-fuck' moment or what have you, but the song was dogshit. Sub-audioslave alt-rock by the numbers.

David Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) There's something fishy about Issues, though. They've got more than a whiff of 'manufactured' about them; a bunch of blokes with no discernible prior connection to one another who got signed to a major label subsidiary after three weeks of being a ban with no original tracks or demo. There's nothing fishy about that. It happens all the time in the music business these days.  Also, what websites are best for rock/metal album reviews these days?

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted December 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 For metal reviews definitely the metal archives. Such a useful site for finding out all the information needed about bands. Their forum is also brilliant for finding new bands to listen to.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 18, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 Everclear! one of my favorite bands of all time, they are doing a bit of a Smashing Pumpkins these days with only Art being the only original member and they aint come close to replicating the first 3 albums but i feel i must attend. I actually saw Everclear on the So Much For The Afterglow tour back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 I saw them on that tour too. I'll be going to the Liverpool date, I was unsure at first as their recent output has been dire but after checking SetlistFM it seems that Art realises this too & there's very little that's not from the first two albums. I put Sparkle & Fade back in the car this morning, awesome stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 18, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 I dont think theres many that wouldnt like to see em go back to being the original 3-piece. I like their newer stuff but it just aint the same, So Much For The Afterglow was a massive shift in direction from Sparkle and Fade but i think they nailed that Everclear goes pop type sound, its a brilliant abum. Â Â Â ....there are more dates too, ima go see em in Bristol on April 1st. Fuck yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Archives is THE go-to place if you ever have to find out about a band you've not heard of before (unless it's Agoraphobic Nosebleed).

Merzbow Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Last.fm can also come in handy for finding new bands of any genre, not just metal. I've found a fair few amazing bands using a mixture of last.fm and genre specific blogs, http://r-a-b-m.blogspot.co.uk/ being my most visited.

David Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Uh oh...  The lead singer of Welsh rock group Lostprophets has been charged with sexual offences against children. Ian Watkins, 35, of Pontypridd, will appear before Cardiff magistrates on Wednesday.  He is charged with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a female under 13 and possession/distribution of indecent images of children.  Two women, aged 20 and 24, from Doncaster and Bedford, have been charged with similar offences.  All three have been questioned at Cardiff Bay police station, said South Wales Police.  Senior investigating officer Det Insp Peter Doyle said: "Specially-trained staff are available to speak to anyone with concerns or information regarding this investigation and a dedicated telephone number has been set up.

Paid Members Au Posted December 19, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I'm going to reiterate what I said on Twitter earlier - One of my friends grew up near Ponty and when she started going out at 14/15 the Prophets were well known but hadn't reached the stage where they'd stopped going out at the weekend. Quite a few guys chatted her up, Ian Watkins included. I'd be a fool to think she didn't go home with any of them but whilst I know she's been back to his place in a group, she maintains she never slept with him. Â He later gained quite the reputation for revelling in the attentions of teenage fans and would often turn up at clubs after gigs with girls of questionable legal age in tow. Â Up in the valleys though? Yeah, it's not surprising that sort of thing goes on, hence all the teenage pregnancies. You really can't carry on with that sort of thing outside of small towns where people just turn a blind eye, especially when you're in the public eye as he is. Â That all said, I still remember the Public Disturbance days and whilst I didn't know him back then, I'm ended up pretty good mates with the other guys from the band and did meet him, briefly, at a reunion gig back in 2005. He's very short, and that's from me at 5'7", so I reckon he just likes girls his own height. Â So, not entirely surprising, but younger than 13? That is pretty fucked up.
