In a simpler time, he could just have bought them for me, but he won't be going to the gig so we're scuppered by this whole named-person ticket process. Also, the same question for O2 Priority. I'm sure I could find someone I know who hasn't jumped ship to another network yet. Otherwise I'm waiting until they go on general sale on Friday. Live Nation pre sale is tomorrow just register with them??? http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/iron-maiden-tickets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out I even already had a Live Nation account so tickets have now been successfully purchased. With fees, £66.35 a ticket is utterly scandalous though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So as every Metallica fan knows (and I'm a proper fanboy), they can be extremely guilty of going through the motions these days, particularly when they are focusing on other things. The 2 new songs have been VERY promising, although I've felt for a long time that the days of them sounding better live than on record were looooonnggggg gone. Wrong. Oh my god are they on it. This just sounds ferocious!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) And I haven't heard Puppets sound this good for about 25 years. Hetfield delivering a few telt's in a "don't you forget who I am" style, and looking like he's just having a great time.

Al B Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) See, to a point I'd kinda agree, but in Metallica's case they had gotten to a stage where everything just seemed half-arsed. There's been a good 5 year period where it was almost like they were barely paying attention, going through the motions, Lars and Kirk in particular were unbelievably sloppy in a "just not really bothering" type of way, James was trying to croon his way through songs almost as if he was trying to be more of a singer than just sticking to what he does best. As he himself once said "I sing like a sailor"...but that's what works. The 3 concerts in the Binge & Purge boxset - San Diego, Mexico City and Seattle are unbelievable. The Moscow show in '91 is the best performance I've ever seen from any band.....f**k trying to be another band around at that time! But the last 5 years...maybe even more (the Nimes show is amazing but you can imagine a commercially released DVD to be post-produced to within an inch of it's life), have actually been sad to see at times. They had been playing on stage with the same enthusiasm as they do in the tuning room videos on Youtube Right now though they just seem focused, sharp, tight, and utterly on it! Maybe there's life in the old dog yet. Edited September 29, 2016 by Al B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Whilst I'm talking about Metallica I thought I'd share this video. I have always thought St Anger was basically 5 or 6 decent ideas utterly swamped by a complete pile of shit, and then generally produced into unlistenable nonsense. Stumbled across this a few weeks ago, one guy doing guitars, bass and drums and a 2nd guy doing vocals. They have completely re-recorded the whole album from scratch, re-arranged a lot of it, cut out a lot of the shit (it's a whole 15 minutes shorter overall), and actually re-written little bits here and there. I have to say....it's actually really really good! Most definitely worth a listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those opening riffs could be the best I've ever heard them being played, so f'cking heavy. Metallica are back (not that they had ever gone away, mind you...).

NorthernLights Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Anyone been listening to the new Opeth album? Its solid but that's all I can say. My problem is too many of the songs plod along with little change in tempo. The first song I heard by them was To Bid You Farewell. The way it started so slowly and built up the epic ending was brilliant. The last Opeth album I truly enjoyed was Watershed. The opening song Coil is simply beautiful and then to go from that Heir Apparent That is what I enjoyed about them. I really hope they rediscover that again in the next album after the last three albums of this sort of prog rock as sadly they are becoming too predictable. There hasn't been a point during Sorceress where I've been like "Wow! Where did that come from!?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal highlights are; Seven Seals, Stronghold, Neptune's Spear, The Pale King & the title track. TFOD was great when it came out but didn't hold any longevity for me personally. The Dark Roots of Earth was OK, but only OK. This new album seems like a good return to form anyway, for the time being... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Had a look at the Lords of the Land poster to see who was playing. Some of the band logos are mildly infuriating. What is the point in having a difficult to read name? Madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
