The video is silly. The music is OK in a typically FF way- nothing surprising in it, but it's grand. The vocals suck. The chorus is way too poppy. On Demanufacture, which is the only album I ever got into by them, the choruses may have been clean sung, but they had a bit of darkness to them. A goth influence maybe? They at least didn't just sound like pop melodies.

The most enjoyable time ever fishing was fishing form the shire for pollock and a few gar fish formed up with their " I'll fight any man" type attitude.

They are so rowdy it's brilliant.
As it stands I've yet to go fishing this year.
Shitballs.

It's meh enough. Chorus is too happy. He does a good Burton, in fairness.

Worse than I expected, and went in with low expectations anyway.
There's probably more than a few here of a certain vintage who had no time for this era of Roadrunner in the first place, but for some of us the early to mid 90's played an important role in our formative years. I fucking despise Machine Head but still look back on Burn My Eyes with a degree of fondness. See also Chaos AD. Demanufacture also features here but it's incredible how little FF have progressed since then. Still stuck on the Terminator 2 shtick lads eh?

Hadn't seen this since childhood and forgot how enjoyable it is. The whole cast are just hugely likeable, and look like they're having a lot of fun making it. It also got me into Jerry Reed as a side-bonus.

The parents had this taped off the telly when I was a child so must ahve watched it 20 times. Watched it again a couple years back and still class

Quote from: Pentagrimes on August 29, 2026, 08:18:58 AMThe dungeons and dragons narration on "Three Fates" actually made me laugh first time I heard it. Ridiculous stuff.

Trust Neil Fallon to knock a bitta craic outta any situation alright.

Slimmed down to push his acting career.

Give the vid a look, even if just the pre-music bit. It's so bad.

So Trump plans to rename the lake Ontario to lake America to spite the Canadians. Have we surpassed North Korean levels of lunacy?

Ha, we had cats called Smokey and Bandit too! Great film, a longtime favourite for me. The sequels are shite though, particularly the third one. Reynolds isn't even in it, Jerry Reed is the lead if memory serves.
