Remember going to see ST in the Music Centre just after Thundercat joined, think he was only 16 or 17 at the time. I'd been playing bass a few years and thought I was getting to a decent level, than see this lad the same age as me doing stuff I still probably can't manage! :laugh:

All the Megadeth nostalgia has me listening to RIP and thinking of the first time I heard it, how wildly different it was from SFSGSW, and everything else, to be honest. That sensation of hearing something totally original, like Hangar 18 or the start of Master of Five Magics, where you're fucking stunned at how people could come up with unheard of shit like this. Great fucking times.

I'm sure I've posted it before but, fuck sake, the generic post-Sneap Metal album sound. Just listening to the new Metal Church album and it sounds like it could be fucking anybody. They're all using the same drum samples, the same guitar EQ techniques, it's all so fucking bland and sterile. Only the singers are different. There's no character to any of it. Just let me hear some real fucking drums at least. Fuck sake.

Never got into PL, but at that Priest gig you could comfortably amble up to the third row without having to had change course from wherever you started in the building. Mad, considering the esteem Painkiller is held in these days.

Doff of the cap to Annihilator, and Waters in particular, they played as a 4-piece - just Waters on guitar - and were fucking deadly. Got my Alice In Hell and Never, Neverland inlays signed by the whole band. As long as Waters doesn't churn out shit for 35 years straight, I'll be able to retire early.

Ah balls.

I take it you weren't there for Paradise Lost touring Draconian Times? Half empty and bloody freezing.

Was at that too. There were a lot less people at that one, never saw the SFX so empty which is amazing considering Priest were touring fucking Painkiller  :laugh:

Quote from: Jward on April 13, 2026, 02:13:49 PMIt was '91.

Alice In Chains were great, as were Megadeth.
Wasn't into The Almighty, so kinda went over my head.

Layne had the bit of hair, and was doing that thing where he shakes the head in a kind of "No, No, No, ..." manner :)
Jerry had his unique head bang thing going on.
I remember the sound being good for all bands.
It was great to see Megadeth.
No real banter from either band, just played very solid.

A great gig.

I'm an AIC fanboy, so was great that I at least saw Layne once.

I've seen Megadeth twice now.
Enough ;)


And the night before had Priest and Annihilator in the SFX.
