Shat Out of Hell

Platoon is one of my favourites, the cast is so good its easy to rewatch. Paths of Glory is the ultimate WW1 film.

Why do some cover bands have support bands?

This 80s metal covers band was in Fibbers on Saturday,  would like to have checked them out but 2 support bands to sit through before they came on about 11. The target demographic would want to be in bed by then!

Yeah looks like a cool spot. Glad it went well. Sad I missed this, but there's only so many hotels I can justify staying in these days.

What were cutthroat like? Intrigued by the whole casette only thing

Thought they were great, sound was shit for them though.

Ride the Shitening.

Maybe someone could persuade Dave to cover The Memory Remains? The song title sums up his attitude to Metallica perfectly.

Mourning Beloveth have a new EP good to go apparently.

The Rolling Stones end of year list name checks Mourning Beloveth, which I thought was pretty cool:

Richard Griffiths steals the show in that film - every line is so quotable 

This has probably been posted already, but jesus...

Been posted a few times but never gets old 

That's where the rot set in. Getting critical darlings to do Bond movies. Yeah the second unit/stunt coordinator may handle all the action, but if you don't have a journeyman director who understands action it just falls flat.

Martin Campbell should have been kept on after Casino but they did the usual "you made us money, fuck off".

100%

Wahl balding clippers is the only thing I've ever used that was any good for keeping it tight as possible. Anything cordless I've found a waste of time.

Didn't Stampin Ground play Fred's sometime in the late 90s? Vague memory of that being my first metal gig.

Midnight are class live, will be at this.

Is accommodation easy to get?

I think the same set they normally play these days, which is short:
