I made a playlist on Spotify of the first night there and listened to it while I was falling asleep last night and jaysus they've an awful awful amount of decent tunes

Man the stickleback was like the most amazing thing that never happens and of course we weren't targeting those

Honestly it was one of the best random little things that happened in a while

There's one Chimaira album that the young brother got from his woman back in the day who looked a little bit like Count Grishnakh that was very very good. Think there was a skull of some sort on the cover but that might be a complete fabrication on my part

Fuck off   

I bought it myself as it happens based off one song off it and it was grand.  It was some sort of bonus disc version.  Dunno how it holds up now.  She got me that Lamb of God album, Ashes of the Wake was it?  It was very wake anyway.

          

You're right it was the lamb of god album. That's worse. The Chimaira album is not too bad like

Tres Hombres (1973)
Fandango! (1975)
Degüello (1979)

Those 3 albums pre-Eliminator (1983) are absolutely stompin'...
With an honourable mention to Rio Grande Mud (1972)...
In fact, I really only listen to their earlier output nowadays, and have done for aeons...

RIP Frank x

I love Eliminator too though , got them out there for sure.

Sad, have to agree with all those.
this has to be my favourite live vid though, how do 3 people get such a sound.....

I promise I'm not being smart arsed here at all but was that sound already generic when they released it, and they were simply excellent at the most generic possible sound or did they just make it as generic as possible before it was cool?

Even the ending there like was it done 3000 times before or were they the original and it was done 3000 times after them?

Go on so, I'm surely missing a trick by misunderstanding why they should be so popular. Is there a particular tune that will make me appreciate their non generic chops?

His missus looked like Count Grishnakh? I think this is actually the part you were supposed to elaborate on.

She actually did

That's the one I'm on about it's a decent album

A roach caught as well now so that's a good round of species, albeit no specimens but still a grand oul day at it.

Myself and the young lads are on a mission to catch every freshwater species on the island.

So far we have

Perch
Pike
Trout
Rudd
Roach
Bream
Mirror Carp
Common Carp
Minnow
Stickleback
Dace

I feel like there's one more but I can't remember.

The one rule is that it must be rod and line so with the minnow and stickleback out of the way I think we are in good stead

Another one for the luminous mepps size 2

It should be treated as terrorism. If you turn your vehicle into a weapon and purposely endanger the live of others, you are more than an unthinking idiot, you are a terrorist and should be locked up for a very fucking long time, regardless of whether you injure or kill anyone. Zero mercy.

It's a little bit Facebook putting up the pics of what are very very ordinary catches but it's a fishing thread and I think it might be cool if we throw up a few pics on it so if any of ye have any nice ones I'd like to see them

The new albun's out there, haven't listened to it yet. No fewer than seven guest appearances on this one.

Any sign of Scott Kelly?

Does finding the makings of a pipe of nice hash blocking the headphone jack on my phone count as a simple pleasure?

It's rare like but it cost me nothing. Well it did, but not now

There's a grand river in the middle of the town there, right beside Supermacs if you're coming from the roscrea direction. If you go in and park behind the Top garage on the right there's a lovely stretch there absolutely teeming with trout.

Moved on from there to buy a few bits in wildhunter in athlone and stopped at the canal near Ferbane and the boy caught a nice little pike after about three casts.

Grand job and it's still lashing so I picked up a large tub of vermes in anticipation of even the lightest hint of a colour coming on the river.

Got a few more mepps size 2 in various colours as well because the pike and the perch will hop off those as well as the trout.

Both the pike and the trout today were caught with a garish luminous yellow and green size 2 in two different spots
