Does anyone on hear listen to the power metal band - Rage?

If so just got there album Secrets In A Weird World.....Awesome!

[Rovermatt]

I went with my dad to to see Elton John in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast last night. Bloody hell what a showman he is, and a truly superb musician. Some of the arrangements and song writing is jaw-dropping. In this age of faceless, dumb celebrity, it's refreshing to see a true star still at the top of his game. To quote Homer Simpson: 'No new stuff, just the hits!'

How old are you Cletus? Just checking that like me you're not in your mid 20s..................................

I`ll tell you how old i am. I went to watch a local band do their 1st gig the other night. I`d had a few to drink & told the bass player i thought his mum was "hot". How embarrassing is that?

.....his girlfriend was hotter though

Just listened to Boxer by the National. Not a bad CD at all. Probably needs another listen but quite like it.

The Pigeon Detectives debut album is rather brilliant.

This week I have mostly been listening to The Twang. Quite good but think I may get bored of them quickly - hope I am wrong though

The singers voice does sound very dull & boring after you've listened to a few songs by them in my opinion. I always get mixed up with them and The Enemy. I however don't mind The Enemy they are okay.

Yes agreed that all the songs kind of mold into the same one. Now the Enemy is an album I am looking forward too

Motley Crue are embarrassing. Sorry Abbey but they're really naff big hair ponces. And Papa Smurf are one of the worst bands of the last 20 years with their fake whiny depression. They're as bad as Nickelback.

I'm not into many new bands either, they all sound the same to me. They're either serious, slightly arty indie (e.g. Editors), or the kind of rougher indie that Oasis started off as (e.g. Little Man Tate, that band from Dundee). And if its a solo singer, they're one of those 'heartfelt' singer-songwriters who write boring love songs whilst strumming an acoustic gituar (e.g. James Blunt, James Morrisson).

We need a new Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana or Metallica to get things pumping again.

[Roaming Rover]

Off to see John Bramwell from I am Kloot at North Bar tonight. Can't wait

[Ricky]

Abbey, I'm not a Motley Crue fan but I did read their autobiography recently. It was recommended by a friend and was an amazing read.

To be fair it's absolutely amazing that they are on stage together with what they have been through, probably more amazing that they are all actually still alive. It was touch and go with Nicki Sixx at one stage.

Do you know if it's his solo material or the new Kloot stuff? Either way I'd bet it'll be a good show.

They played some new Kloot songs last time I saw them in Manchester which were superb. He also headlines the occasional acoustic night in Manchester, but I always end up missing 'em!

billy the crue are the 2nd greatest ever only just behind ac/dc....they are legends not eggasagerated ...

hendix was good..metallica good..nirvana i thought were ok no better

[Billy Castell]

I don't mind a bit of cheesy rock, but Motley Crue are just too much. The whole hair metal scene became a abomination, as the bands became increasingly concerned about drugs and hairspray and less about the actual music. Poison, Motley Crue and all the rest were just a bunch of girly hairdressers really. AC/DC are the right side of the line though. I quite like them. And if you want pyrotechnics, watch Rammstein.

I mentioned Nirvana as they were a band that spearheaded the grunge scene that was a reaction against the dodgy music that pretended to be rock or metal at that time.

[ABBEY]

poison were good !!! oh i rembember my wavy perm

[Billy Castell]

Do you have any pictures to show us all Abbey?

Wonder when Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are going to release a new album?

[ABBEY]

I'm sure Mark Radcliffe was talking about this last week. Apparently Halford didn't invent the 'studs and leather' look for the band, he was on his way to a party with his fruity friends when he was asked to join the band.

Mark also mentioned ten benson, who I would like to nominate for 'the best album title ever'.

Gentlemen I give you "Satan Kidney Pie"

Just listened to Boxer by the National. Not a bad CD at all. Probably needs another listen but quite like it.

Bought Boxer this morning on the strength of their last album, Aligator (which is a brilliant album) and have to say I'm impressed already.

Looking forward to catching The National on tour in November already!

[grizfoot]

The new White Stripes album is gooooooood!

[herbergeehh]

Thought the last one was awful. Are they on the right track again?

Only two weeks away from Roky Erickson and the Explosives. YES!

[tcj_jones]

Heard a bit of Ryan Adams yesterday and was very impressed, although it was off his Rock 'n' Roll album, so I'm not sure what his lighter acoustic stuff is like.
