Sandman

yeah defo that would be awesome

if they do one anywhere in England I'll go probably

going to see Maiden in a couple of weeks too

oh and I'm listening to Fade to Black by Metallica

I love moshing

well some of it anyway - the sort where everyone just kicks and elbows everyone else is annoying yes

but circle pits are ace - you just run in the right direction and vent some spare energy built up whilst listening to a good song

well it goes to show that the best bands will always live on whilst the manufactured shite will be forgotten in 10 years. priest have been going since 1969 and have recently released one of the best albums of the decade. and the other bands you mentioned such as maiden and sabbath. thier influence shows in every metal band on the face of the earth (including mine) if you ask any metal band thier influences. they will quote sabbath maiden priest and metallica as thier main influences.

Just been listening to Nostradamus, absolutely stunning the way it all links together.

The riffs aren't bad either, Prophecy, Revelations and the title track in particular

I think they overdosed on heavy for Death as well

Yeah I did it was amazing

Wasn't in the pit though unfortunately

I find it really strange that you young metal heads (you know who you are ) are creaming your pants over bands I saw playing out of the back of a Transit van thirty odd years ago..JP, Iron Maiden, Saxon etc etc.

 

Makes me wish I'd had a video camera....problem being that they weighed as much as a Morris Minor and cost as much as a small housing estate at the time .

Why's it strange? I don't care what age a band is if I like their music

I love loads of young bands too, but the likes of Priest, Maiden, Sabbath etc are quality too (Maiden are one of my favourite bands and Nostradamus is one of the best albums released this year)

metallica- battery

:speak_cool: x100

there were a few bands to my taste on at download but leeds fest is going to be so much better than even glasto this year due to the bands that are signing up

Can't wait for the Leeds/Reading festival (Reading in my case)

Metallica are going to be brilliant, saw them last year at Wembley

Heard that they're headlining Download next year as well

NO NO NO NO NO, We must be looking past skimpy 2/3 mil buys now that we are so improved

He'd help us a lot.

Not brilliant by any means, but would very useful to have. Creative and tricky on the ball.

Nothing at the moment because it's 1.20 in the morning but I was listening to the new Judas Priest album (Nostradamus) before

Fucking ace it is too BTW

so where you going and when?

 

june 26th-1st july going to dessel belgium to go and see the graspop metal meeting. Judas Priest , Kiss and Iron Maiden headliners. im taking my everton scarf and im going to make it a mission to get a picture of gene simmons with an everton scarf.

 

26th August to i cant remember when. going to orlando florida to bask in the sun and hurricaines lol. plus im going to see my uncle who i havnt seen since 1997

You lucky bastard.

Still, I saw Kiss and Priest at Download and I'm seeing Maiden at Twickenham on July 5th

I'll be going to Reading Festival to see Metallica as well.

And going on holiday to Lincolnshire as usual.

I don't think I did.

It was rather good.

Kiss put on the best live performance I've ever witnessed.

That will be all.

Justice for all - the truth about Metallica

And I'm studying 1984 by George Orwell at the moment so I'm going to be reading that

I'm Jackson's Elite XI by the way

Did anybody go to the Defenders of the Faith gig in Manchester? Arch Enemy, Opeth, DevilDriver and 3 Inches of Blood

Quality gig

Got Maiden at Twickenham coming up and then Metallica at Reading as well ^_^

NSNO is the only one I use regularly. I'm also on Kipper and a few other ones that I've registered for and never bothered posting on.

I'm on a Metallica forum too, although likewise I rarely use it.

Defenders of the Faith in Manchester. Arch Enemy, Opeth, DevilDriver and 3 Inches of Blood.

Most tiring gig I've ever been to, worth it though!

Happy birthday mate :thumbsup_still:

This can only get you so far though. A Lescott won't come along every year, and IMO he needs to spend a lot on somebody well known to send out a message to Europe.

im already going to the graspop metal meeting. but if metallica are headlining leeds then im getting a day ticket

I'd love to go to Grasspop. Aren't Maiden headlining? I heard Judas Priest, BFMV, A7X, Apocalyptica and Iced Earth are going too. If so, that would be amazing!

As for Leeds, I'm sure I'd think 99% of it was shite but if the other 1% was Metallica then I'd be there like a flash! I'll never forget the Wembley gig last july, I can't wait to see them again.

I think I might go and see Down in Manchester too if there are still tix avaliable.

saw The Enemy last nite and Panic! At The Disco last week.

im sure its not quite your cuppa thou

Bit tame for me mate

i've just realised you're the sandman, same on nsno? admin i believe? EDIT : maybe not, but were you?

 

off-topic i know, but on-topic, no i didn't.

Yeah, that's me. And I am part of the 'senior admin team'

Bullet for My Valentine or Megadeth about a month ago? Both were on in Manchester in January/February respectively. Wondered if anybody else went.

Turisas, who I saw in the Carling Academy 2 in Liverpool a few weeks ago, were also excellent.

Brilliant vid, seems only yesterday that Metalist game...

Please can somebody tell me what he's done to deserve to be captain?

If Fernandes does come I can't see him playing alongside Carsley for long, Ossie will soon get his place back and our midfield will more than likely be: -

 

Cahill

 

Pienaar Fernandes Osman Arteta

I don't know about anyone else but that looks a very good midfield.

wow!! that is as good as most teams in the prem

that is a midfield to drool over.
