NorthernLights Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Opeth were really good last night. They were so tight as a band when playing Ghost Reveries and I had an excellent view from the front row. I managed to get a plec when they were throwing them at the end, first time I've ever managed to get my hands on something like that at a gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ooft, tremendous view there. Four of my mates were there but I missed out, safe to say I've been seething this weekend. Iron Maiden just announced as headlining Download 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Never mind, Voivod, Carcass, Napalm Death and Obituary* on Saturday, yaaaaaaassss!!! RIP Frank/Bøddel, 47 is a ridiculous age to get taken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Black Sabbath and Rammstein added to Download. Struggling with my choices here, there's also a Download Paris taking place this year where tickets are about £100 cheaper, doing that can throw in some time soaking up the atmosphere of the Euros and they also have Rammstein and Maiden. Alternatively, some of my mates are going back to Hellfest which I've loved in the past but I'm definitely going somewhere that Rammstein are playing. Bloodstock's looking great as well, Mastodon and Twisted Sister (last ever UK gig) the headliners so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Download Rammstein - Sabbath - Iron Maiden is an absolute dream. Definitely going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not my cup of tea but this download edition should sell really well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 No wonder there's less bands this year. Must have spunked a shitload of money on that trio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Less bands? We're only in October. There'll be loads still to get announced surely? They've said less bands getting more time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Comes down to personal preference, but I'm much happier to have fewer bands with longer sets. It's a bit pish when a festival books an amazing band who you didn't expect to play, then they only get a 15-20 minute set. Every band should get 30 minutes at least. Does increase the risk of the undercard not having many bands to your taste, but that's worth it to see more of the bands you do like IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Off to see Maiden Scotland at the ABC2 this evening. Have heard they're decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Off to see Maiden Scotland at the ABC2 this evening. Have heard they're decent. Saw them at The Lemon Tree a couple of years ago an they did a solid job. I felt old today when I read that Hybrid Theory is 15 years old. If LInkin Park announced a tour where they would play that album in full I would be all over that with no shame! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually returned to Scotland after over 10 years since their last visit, I'd be all over it regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizou-5 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Black Dahlia Murder are playing the Cathouse on Jan 19th. Very good band and great live. Their latest effort Abysmal is really really solid. Not their best but still a good album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfinn Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Saw them at The Lemon Tree a couple of years ago an they did a solid job. I saw Maiden Scotland at the Lemon Tree a few years before that (must've been '06 or '07) and they were excellent. They also had Paul Di'Anno as a special guest and he came on to do a few of the early Maiden classics. He was rubbish. Middle-aged, fat, washed-up, voice gone. It was a blessed relief when he got off and the Bruce tribute bloke came back on. Sad really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Disclaimer - *not metal*. So, I play a bunch of instruments and in a past life I used to write and play music for a (very modest) living. Although I don't really do anything at all musically these days, decided to enter a wee competition that needed to be in the format of a Youtube video. Seeing as it's there now I might as well share it and let the good folk keeping me company in the Metalhead Thread have a wee listen. This is the result of me rocking up to a studio on my own in 2007 with a racket in my head, and recording it so that people could hear it. Like I say it's not what you'd call metal but it's very much in the heavy guitar ballpark. I may upload more if and when I get round to it, and if it happens to go very well in the various areas I've shared it, I could be tempted back to writing and recording (if I can ever find the time!). Anyway for now, wrap yer lugs round this (and like and share on Facebook and all the other good stuff that apparently cures famines and diseases). Cheers!

NorthernLights Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Damnation festival on Saturday. Anyone else heading down to Leeds for it? The line up isn't as good as last years but that is more a testament to the strength of last years festival then anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Despite my reservations about the line up I had a good time and I think I actually saw a couple more bands then I did last year. I saw... The King is Blind, Wiegedood, Voices, Savage Messiah, The Ocean, High of Fire, Solstafir, Keep of Kalessin, Primordial, Maybeshewill and At The Gates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Damnation festival on Saturday. Anyone else heading down to Leeds for it? The line up isn't as good as last years but that is more a testament to the strength of last years festival then anything else. Really enjoyed this year's edition. Caught the following: Tacomo Narrows Bridge Disasater Talons Ohms Crown Maybeshewill The Ocean Alter of Plagues Solstafir Amenra Mono At The Gates Bands of the day award goes to Mono and Amenra, both were just astonishing. Wish we could find a way to bring Amenra to Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
