Anyone who was in the Belfast scene in the 2000s can probably guess who, but there was one character who claimed to attended Bathory's final gig in Belgium several years earlier.

Splashes In Your Louth

Somewhat 70s prog adjacent.

Anyone got some Allan Holdsworth recommendations ?

Hard Hat Area.  Haven't listened to it in a long time, though.

Neither of the Kansas full lengths I tried really clicked for me (Masque and Leftoverture) but Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel is a great tune.

Had this playing over the weekend for the first time - absolute nonsense, in the best possible way.

A couple of recommendations:

Egg - The Polite Force
FM (the Canadian band, not the English one) - Black Noise

Back in the CDR burning days I had Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres back to back on one 80 minute CD.  Cygnus X-1 Book 1 straight into Book 2 was, and remains, the absolute business.  The run of 2112 to Moving Pictures, at a minimum, is pure gold.

You love to see his mate texting while driving.

As far as I remember he moved to Ballymena and joined Riffmaster General and was then in various follow ons of that band.

Grab the popcorn lads this one is publishing emails now on her Instagram. Didn't realise Dez Fafara was managing Cradle - makes sense kinda!

Sample quote

"She's Bi-Polar, fire her and her husband if he wants to hang onto a dead horse"

He must be going loco over all this shit 

The real question is, does Dez drive the tour bus? We all know he has a license for a Big Truck.

I'd love to see Bush in action in Europe.

Joey Tempest might have a problem with that.

Listen to any of the Mick Wall podcast episodes where he recants tales of Sharon's da, Don Arden, having Peter Grant gaffer tape a barely conscious Gene Vincent to the mic stand so he could start the show and collect the fee before falling on his hole halfway through the first song.

That's what's going to happen with Ozzy.

There was definitely an article in the Telegraph - I remember the picture.

I was telling the wife last night about the time he met "you" in Belfast to kick your ass, and it was Fart all along 

Desperately hoping there's more detail to this one.

You have to give Nicko his due for (last year) coming out on tour at 71 years of age, 6 months after a stroke, and trying to knock out Caught Somewhere In Time every night.

Also, my two have it in their heads that Cozy Powell is the drummer in every band they hear.

"Daddy, does Cozy really have Sooty on his drumkit?"

Cozy Powell, yesterday:
