Pop country is hip-hop for people who are afraid of black people - Steve Earle.

Yeah definitely seems like some of those guitar and drum breaks would/should have instead been some crazy weird country lick.

The melo-black thing sounded pretty cool until they added the 'woahs' and it all got very Kerrang metal from there.

In other news, I saw a thing on Instagram earlier with details of the new album, not sure how legit it was and I can't find it but apparently there's a load of guest appearances including Geezer Butler, Josh Homme, Neil Fallon, Joe Duplantier etc.

It seemed legit/like a leaked press release.

Watched Hokum last night, new Irish horror film, there's parts that are genuinely amazing and some parts that don't quite land, but a fun watch overall.

So the orange man called Fifa and got the USA's strikers ban rescinded after he was sent off last game.

What planet are we even living on anymore  .

I want to replace my copies of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction but all that's available is the cunting 2004 versions where Mustaine decided to butcher the original mixes.

On vinyl? They just did a run of the OG Countdown and Youthanasia mixes, I got mine from Sentinel Records. They also did RIP last year but that might be harder to find by now.

Alrite, controversial opinion, Bruce Dickinson, arguably the GOAT, can't fault him musically... he's nearly got it all...except he's just not cool, is he?

Few beers deep blasting some Maiden bootlegs from the 80s and his between song banter is tragic, "I don't know anything about football but I'm going to spend every song break talking about football to sound working class".

Now Dianno...he was fucking cool. I'll leave the hall.

I don't get modern 'hardcore punk' at all, a lot of it seems to have more in common with Slipknot than Black Flag.

They could absolutely do a re/Load tour, they can play whatever they want at this stage.

Just had a look at the setlists and they played 10 post-Black Album tunes across both nights, compare that to Megadeth who have played essentially the same set for 20 years, just replacing the previous albums two singles for the new albums two singles.

At Slane all the people around me went apeshit for Frantic, they're too big to fail.

Didn't see this coming, new Sleep music coming, Matt Pike is out, Dale Crover is in on drums and Bubba Dupree (80's HC band Void) is in on guitar.

New song is fairly uninspired.

Couldn't make this, although looking at the recent setlists it's a shame they don't play much newer material, last few releases have been very strong imo.

I still enjoy the debut, haven't heard the new one yet but read some complaints about the shift to a more Cradle-influenced sound apparently.

I've only dipped my toes into a bit of jazz, but was on an Alice Coltrane buzz the other week, some great stuff.

Live performance of the new song, they're sounding pretty tight these days to be fair. New guitarist is a dead ringer for Mike Scheidt from YOB.
