Ya must look into getting a few copies to Darragh/Scobes at some point....

John Virgo, 79. Only commentated on the Masters a couple of weeks ago. I suppose we all know where the cueball's going now.

Indeed, poor guy. Have been listening to him commentate basically my entire life.

Ya i think they get shit on somewhere alright 

The full shebang:

Released today!

https://forruin.bandcamp.com/  for CD's and its also on Spotify now (& other services soon I guess).

Enjoy!

I read it over the holidays - its a big dick suck, exactly. It's disjointed and not very well written and very unbalanced. The stuff about the early years and during the recording the albums is what interested me and that's nice to read and good commentary from those that were around or in the band at the time.  I cant say I came away from reading the book with a new appreciation for the guy - a lot of the mentality seems very gang-ish and immature to be honest (I guess they were pretty young to be fair) but still, the coverage of the murder is deliberately glossed over.  I dunno... it certainly wasnt a brilliant read and I doubt i will re-read it in a few years time.  The gig in Whelans all those years ago was one of my fav shows ever, but the guy clearly had a lot of issues (duh) and i find it hard to listen to them anymore really, pity, there was some great music in there. A few rare recordings are referred to in the book which i found on Youtube and they were cool to hear.

Thanks to Richie for the Podcast/interview - with a preview of each of the tracks form the new album (out next Friday!)

On Jan 9th we'll release another track "The Blood of Earth" from this, before the album comes out at the end of Jan....

I watched the full LA show footage form the other day - so good. The man is some singer, i love all those Bush era albums, thought they played very well. Id go see that in Ireland any day.

Its terrible really, and sad to see how he thinks this is good enough quality to be released as a Megadeth song. Dystopia was solid, but all the other modern stuff is pretty derivative. The last one had its moments but nothing memorable really.
