Merzbow Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I was reminded of Rockbitch who'd shag on stage and all that earlier, did anyone here actually go see them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, couple of my mates did, you see them in that documentary about them. Do you remember Punk Tom? He was one of them and tried so many times to catch the golden condom (whichever gig goer caught it could shag the band member of their choice). In the end they just felt sorry for him and the bassist shagged him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love the early stuff there's so many gems on it, Dio's vocals are amazing and Iommi's riffs are as good as anything he'd done previously but for some reason it either gets shat on for no reason or just ignored. The answer to both of those are “Because it isn’t Ozzy-era”. I’ve always preferred Dio-era Black Sabbath. Don’t get me wrong, those early albums laid a foundation for a lot of bands and Ozzy’s solo stuff can be very good, but Dio was by far and away the better performer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ozzy is fantastic, a good lyricist and incredibly charismatic but Dio is just next level vocally.

Merzbow Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Loop are back! They were very much a rougher and rawer Spacemen 3 that I actually prefer, I think they even had a heated little rivalry BITD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've been gently awoken by the new album from The Darkness this morning. What a musical journey! "Speed of the Nite Time" in particular could be dropped into any 80s montage and improve it. I've never brushed my teeth so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mal the Glorious Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've not heard The Darkness in years, but a mate has just sent me "Welcome tae Glasgae". It's very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This new album from Plebian Grandstand is blowing me away, like far nastier hardcore and industrial infused Blut Aus Nord. No one does black metal like the French. https://plebeiangrandstand.bandcamp.com/album/rien-ne-suffit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Uncle Acid are so fucking bad live, easily the worst "big" band I've seen live. This was a few years back so I hope they've improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I even heard their name was when they booked on the final Black Sabbath tour a few years back. Twin Temple had a bit of buzz a couple of years back too but I can’t say they did anything for me Edited November 24, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its certainly a statement of intent though. As for Download, who knows. Maybe when Iron Maiden finally pack it in they’ll get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
