Saw them on their first gig here and it still ranks in my top three Metal gigs of all time.

What year was this?

1990.

oh lawd it's sexy!!!

Fairly beastly rig there.

Absolutely not what I was after in the initial post but got myself an Echo dot for the bedside table. Great little speaker and very good value. Speech recognition is bang on, and even though it's a bit of a novelty, there's something supremely indulgent about turning over in the middle of the night and asking your speaker what time it is rather than having to go to the gargantuan effort of checking your phone!!

Have one myself and mainly use it as an alarm clock.

Good to hear they were helpful in HiFi Hut. Great bunch of lads.

Get yourself up to Richer Sounds in Belfast and get separate's. Alternatively HifiHut in Park West. They have a showroom where you can test stuff.

Yeah, I was at RATM. The support Whipping Boy were a sizeable disappointment because the ticket said Tool were supposed to play and they did the UK dates. Imagine that line-up now. The thought of the ticket price alone makes me wince. It was just that Sony Ireland were pushing their new signing Whipping Boy hard. Shame. Otherwise it was a great gig, Wilk playing with the drums facing the back of the stage. The best gig I saw there was the Beastie Boys though. It was just after Ill Communication came out and before the Sabotage video "went viral". It was the lineup with DJ Hurricane and Bobo and it was fucking amazing. They played the RDS about 6 months later when that album finally started shifting. I remember seeing Cathedral and Hangnail there in the late 90's too.

Sepultura, Obscura and Goatwhore was the best of the recent ones I went to. Sad times, when a good venue vanishes and there's nothing to replace it.

Was also at the RATM, Cathedral and Biohazard gigs. Great memories.

Regarding the Biohazard gig. The security were being asshole's hitting people who were trying to stagedive, etc so the band got involved and dished out some slaps of their own.

Big tech enthusiast here. I have a sizeable Headphone collection. Newest addition is a set of AKG K702's. Amazing fidelity. Also recently picked up some Dali Zensor 1 speakers for my main separates. They sound incredible for the price.

Katatonia - Night Is The New Day.

'The Longest Day'...What a tune!

My favourite place was always DTK in the Abbey Mall. Most of my early Metal collection is from there and the Soundcellar. Still have them all too.

This is now being rescheduled.

Saw them on their first gig here and it still ranks in my top three Metal gigs of all time. I'd still go see them if they played. Though the last time I saw them Jack Owen was playing with them. Stage presence of a fucking potato. Bring back the Hoffman's.

The tunes in each episode are killer also.

Sounds pretty decent.

He's no Noddy Holder.

Used be a regular on MI in the early days but got bored of it in the last few years. Aul bastard from back in the day but listen to all sorts of stuff these days.
Hopefully the forum takes off and does well. Look forward to contributing anyway.
