A band name that irritates me more than most is Powerwolf... Or any band with either Power or Wolf in the title for that matter.

What in fucks name is a power wolf? Is he just very strong? Does he shoot lightning out of his fangs/cock/both? Or does he just work for the ESB checking smart meters at night?

Either way, it's not helped by the band looking like mongos in any image I've ever seen from them.

Have they never beset your door? Hear them stalking, brah.

Anything I have heard from Powerwolf is pretty poor fodder.   

Though there is a great wee Swedish Heavy Metal band called Wolf.  Debut album is great even though it has some of the worse album art known to man.

Wolf are a great band, but their artwork has been pretty much terrible the whole career. Especially that debut.

I've grown to hate eejits hanging around in graveyards for their band photos.

Its  not original and you just look like a  poser pretending you want to be dead

Graveyard band photos are the best. I took some only last week  8)

I was talking to someone earlier about Chopper Read and mentioned there was a band years ago that brought him on tour as the opening act for a spoken set but then I couldn't find anything about it online and now I'm like am I talking shit? I could have sworn on MI there was a thread about it 🤔

I recently worked with a dude briefly who was locked up in 89 for three years for armed robbery while addicted to heroin. He ended up in Pentridge High Security Prison while Chopper was there.

He was a nice enough dude but a useless lazy cunt at the same time  :laugh:

Anal Cunt?

I think Belfast was booked, but he died shortly before

Chopper was suppose to support Anal Cunt in Belfast I was going to head to it myself. The tour was postponed due to Chopper being unwell then he never got better. Seth Putnam and Chopper spending time in a small van touring around Europe would have led to some great stories afterwards.


I seem to remember the rider was 2 crates of Guinness and 2 bottles of whiskey or something very similar to that.

This Love by Pantera and Run To You by Bryan Adams have a certain something in common. Never copped it before this evening

Accept don't really get the credit they deserve in the English speaking world. 

Only recently I gave a listen to the first Metal Church album and can say two things. One: It's really good, two: even during first spin I was able to identify 2-3 riffs in every single song, riffs that I've heard on the albums recorded later and by bigger bands.

I only recently gave it a lash as well but have it marked to go back to. I won't ask what riffs, as of yet.
