BLADES MAN

Rumour is......Neymar is using PSG as a stepping stone to the inevitable Angus Elite.

Instead of merging clubs, why not get rid of the ones who have been in administration? That would please Ann Budge and get rid of a fair few clubs. Next get rid of the ones who are not in Scotland.

Easy to take a pay cut on £825,000 than it is on less than the average wage.

I went to The Tunnels in Aberdeen for Heavens Basement. Sadly missed the first band Skarlett Riot but Buffalo Summer were excellent. I've been going to see Heavens Basement since 2003, right through from their Hurricane Party and Roadstar days and they have always been fantastic. Last night was no exception, from the off they went for it at full throttle. However, they are a different animal from previous incarnations in that they are a lot harder now. The singer is very good at the stuff written during his time with HB, but the earlier songs played last night just did not suit his particular style and he is not as charismatic as the previous singer. He's still bloody good though. They should be huge now, but circumstances have conspired against them, wrong place wrong time kinda thing. The biggest negative of the night was the, at best, lukewarm reception for both bands that I saw. It's little wonder that so few decent rock bands come this far north.

Cannae really argue with anything you've said, but, I'm still undecided about Super Collider. Vocals were virtually undetectable but Megadeth were simply awesome despite the mix.

I got my Sabbath tickets today through Live Nation. Never seen them before so I am as happy as a pig in the biggest pile of dung you could imagine! Went to see Michael Schenker in Aberdeen last night, absolutely majestic.

Just because I booked my Black Sabbath tickets today I have been mostly listening to their first album.

Michael Schenker at The Lemon Tree on 10th April then Saxon at ABC on 21st.

Bugger, I wish I had thought of that. Thanks for your input.

Limmy's Show, as funny as bleeding piles. I've tried to watch it two or three times but can't find anything funny about it or him.

Motorhead at Glasgow in November Airbourne at Glasgow in December Status Quo at Aberdeen in December Thin Lizzy at Aberdeen in January. I'm hoping to get tickets for Sabaton in October, but I may not be able to get time off work

The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Homemade Sin and Diamond Dogs at Moshulu last night were excellent. Good unashamed rock'n'roll, with a southern twist from Dan Baird, all night. Magnificent. Next on the agenda-Motorhead/Saxon and Danko Jones in November at the Academy in Glasgow. Although I hope that their will be something in the offing to keep me going until then.

The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Diamond Dogs next Monday-12th May-Moshulu, Aiberdeen Motorhead, Saxon, Danko Jones 10th November Glasgow Academy, Status Quo 16th December, AECC. Considering going to see Stone Gods at Doghouse in Dundee, any opinions on them? I know it's basically The Darkness withoot Justin, but that's all I know about them.

Off to see Hayseed Dixie in Aiberdeen tomorrow. YEEEEEEEEEE, and indeed, HAAAAAAAAAAAA. I've got my dungarees and bandana looked out already! Next up is The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Homemade Sin and Diamond Dogs on May 12th at Moshulu.
