Generally couldn't give a shite about the 'Tallica camp but I am kinda digging this a little.
I can't help but think this is the kinda thing that they really want to be doing anyway.

Ive been saying that for awhile now too

that is class! Good to hear that. Here in kilkenny there is fecking nobody into it at all. The last time I seen someone in a metal shirt it was tourist ha ha

There are a fair few bands here too. Not many of them are to my tastes admittedly, but I'm still happy to see it, as that hasn't been the case for decades, so it's good to see.

Parents and schools etc seem to be a bit more supportive of it now, and there are more places for them to practice and play.

When we started playing years ago it was a pain in the hole getting somewhere to play locally, and we used to have to practice in our drummers parent's front room, until we made a practice space in an old shed out the back of the house.     

We used to play in Kilkenny the odd time years ago, sort of a basement bar, but I'm damned if I can remember the name. I do remember there were pipes just above the stage, and our singer gave himself concussion jumping up and clocking his head on them. Fuckin eejit was always doing something daft. He got thrown out of The Hub in Dublin for wrecking the jacks when he was drunk, they threw him out without his shoes and bag onto the street. He couldn't even get through to the rest of us on the phone, we were all getting shitfaced with the other bands.

that would be the Zoo xclub here in kk. It was a great spot. Is there a bit of a scene developing in Wexford at the moment?

Late to the party but just watched The Gemtlemen there. Good craic, it's a while since I've watched a Guy Ritchie film.

Has the series got anything to do with it at all, bar the name?

yea, some characters reappear. I think it is better than the movie and I really liked the movie too.

Got stuck in to the last season of curb last night. Larry David is so consistent, so fucking funny.

I only got around to Curb the past 8 months I'd say. That's our go to show when we get a bit of downtime. We absolutely love it and are on S10 now (I think we started with S4 though). I love watching them genuinely laugh at all the madcap improv they throw into the recordings.

Leon Black was such a great addition to the cast. It's gas the way he managed to stick around and be taken everywhere after gatecrashing his sister's hurricane relief period in S6 originally!

Or devasted at not being able to have a Whopper for over a year after getting on the wrong side of an ex who worked at BK

I would put it at one of the funniest shows ever. I'm loving the last season, although it is a shame its ending.

There are a good few young lads (and a few lasses) into metal here now, which wasn't the case for a long time. You had the whole emo and pop-punk thing for a while, and then very little in the way of any kind of subculture, but the last year or two is the first time I've noticed a lot of youngsters in metal shirts, patched denim, long hair etc. And from what I see on their shirts and jackets they seem to be into both the classics, and the newer and more extreme bands, which is great.

Ah, the homegrown hero's. Could do with recording a new album to be fair now. Still, the material they have is quality.

I was chatting to my friend last weekend and he was saying his nephew is the only lad in secondary school that listens to metal. Said everyone just passively listens to the generic pop on the go. Anyone else find this somewhat scary? I remember there was always a handful of lads into it when I was in school. I wonder what has changed over the years?

It's had 60 bids so far, it'll be interesting to see where it ends up.

I'm sure yer man from Broken Hope will have a go of it. he does have a load of Hanneman guitars.

I watched Kill List the other night. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. If you like gritty English movies then you'll like it. I thought it was class now. Still thinking about it a few days later which is the sign of a good movie in my opinion.

Anyone watch Ripley yet? Top notch I have to say. Great acting throughout, Andrew Scott really delivers.

Bit mad they are together since 89, but the first album was released in 97. Big gap like

Fairly cool band to be fair  so heavy it borders on being ridiculous ha ha ha. I didn't know relapse released the albums on vinyl now. I have most on cd anyway, they are definitely a bucket list Death Metal band for me

Have a set of stands for sale on adverts there.http://www.adverts.ie/33381858

Great set so it was and a strong performance.  Why is it that they never played here before? I find it a bit mad
