New Sabbath? yes! yes! yes! http://www.bravewords.com/news/202511 Geezer is god!

Ticket soup were also runing one....and still are... http://fts.ticketsoup.com/biathlon/Requirements.aspx

I hope it's Tommy Clufetos again, that boy is a machine! Although Brad Wilk is doing the drumming on "13" so it might be him...but I think it'll still be Tommy. Edit to add: I bought my ticket this morning :D

IMO, the Nu metal era was responsible as a gateway to heavy music. Like you, I, and a few others on the thread used NU to discover other genres of metal. I'm not really into the black/death stuff though, more of a heavy metal, thrash metal man myself...Children of Bodom/Norther/The Haunted (Scandanavia FTW though) are as far as I got, wouldn't really class even them as black/death

It was thriving between 98-200...2 possibly, as known to many as the Kerrang generation, when Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Adema, Spineshank, Papa Roach, Godsmack, AAF, Slipknot etc were all the business, breaking heavy music into the billboard charts and the radio. (rock stations aside). Even some of the odler bands bought into it looking at Machine head's "Super charger" as a prime example. All of those bands mentioned still have core fans but it's just not to the height they were back in the ealy 00's. Disturbed, Slipknot and Linkin Park were probably the only ones that properly maintained. It's the same with a lot of movements, like the thrash era of the 80s, the grunge of the 90s, the NU of the 00's... it's all still there in various forms, it's just not as popular is all... I still have a lot of it on my ipod, it's good to go back to what you listened to when you were a teenager. Kerrang still plays most of it, I swear they must play Freak on a Leash and Break Stuff every hour....

oh, that is soooo 2001... I used to absolute love Slipknot. I used to cream my pants over S/T and Iowa, even queued outside virgin megastore to get my copy of Iowa signed by them (I still have that somewhere i thnik) totally fell away from them though by the time Vol 3 came out and started getting into older stuff (NWOBHM and such) Skindred are ok. They are much better live than on record (strangely). Mudvayne and Sevendust i never really got into

#nowthatcherisdead hash tags can be decieving!

Where did you see that? TM are quoting £61.. http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/36004A84E75A6691?artistid=734569&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=200 ...I normally wouldn't pay that kind of money...but it's Black Sabbath! edit: £55+fees actually I can't believe they are charging £6 quid fees! well I can...it's TM afterall...and that doesn't cover the postage either. I'll be buying from Ticket Scotland, they are usually decent.

Black fucking SABBATH! Glasgow Hydro - 16/12/13

Does anyone like Red Fang? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuRKRFjm-HA Checking them out because they are playing Soni, love this tune.

2004 Dawn of the Dead Zombie thriller, centred around a group of randoms baracaded in a town mall. Probably my favorite of Zombie movies, some good humour and anxious moments aplenty. 8/10 The Aviator Biopic of the life of american aviator Howard Hughes, directed by Martin Scorsese. I hadn't seen this movie before but found it really interesting, Di Caprio puts in an absolute great perofmrance, it's a litte on the long side (nearly 3 hours) but it certainly didn't feel that way 8.5/10

Ive been doing a "year in film Sunday" with the missus the last few weeks where we pick a year between 1980 and now and watch 2 films that were released... 1987 Robocop 6/10 - I never realised when I was younger how violent this movie was! New cop on the block Murphy gets shot the f*ck up by local crime lords, they decide to turn him into a cyborg erasing his memory, he fights for justice for a while, regains his memory when he meets his old partner and stops the corruption within the force. yaaay The Lost Boys 6/10 - I'm not a massive fan fo this movie, but it is decent enough...family moves house to a town that is flooded with vampires. The teenage son turns into one and the younger one joins a vampire killing crew. 1992 Reservoir Dogs 9/10 - I absolutely love this film, cracking sound track too. centred around the aftermath of a diamond robbery that has went horrible wrong. Fantastic tarentino dialogue. Twin Dragons 5/10 - Twins (Jackie Chan) are seperated at birth, one becomes a famous composer and the other a street-wise mechanic. Hilarity ensues when they meet and dice with each others lifestyles. It's badly dubbed, but it's not to be taken seriously anyway... 1995 Die Hard: With a vengeance - 9/10. My favorite of the die-hard series. John McClain back to the old tricks again, this time accompanied by a racist Samuel L. Jackson fighting against a terrorist riddler who is planting bombs all over the city. Se7en - 9/10. Deadly sins serial killer story, blah de blah, it's a classic - get it watched. *by the way, 1995 was an EXCELLENT year.. 2000 Memento - 8/10. Really enjoyed this, I hadn't seen it before! Guy Pearce can't remember f*ck all since the murdering of his wife, uses all sorts of shit to find her killer Almost Famous - 9/10. Great movie, i'm not sure if i enjoy it slightly more than I should because I'm really into rock music, great film regardless. Rock journalist follows a band around america, the good times roll.

Isn't really "Metalhead" but i don't think we have a rock thread.... Wolfmother have posted thier new album on soundcloud http://m.soundcloud.com/official-wolfmother/

One of my mates is having a leaving do before he goes to Afghanistan. What's the etiquette here in regards to a card. Is it a cash in card event or.. Just a drink up send off? What would you expect or have you had similar experience?

Jon Dette is filling in for the australian tour, and i assume, the summer festivals... Great drummer but it just won't be the same.

http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/slayer-sidelines-dave-lombardo-571276 Was just coming to post this very thing. Sounds like Lombardo has been totally screwed by Kerry King. Fucking gutted

I don't know if its hilarious or sad.....let P&B be the judge... " watchin a wee film about the jews pure shame reminds me of blairgowrie the noo wae the polis, socialwork an council!!" aye....because that's comparable to the f*cking Holocaust!....deary, deary me.

I was at that gig! it was in the Garage during the Ashes of the Wake tour. Still regard that gig as the best i've seen from them. Walls of death.....eeeeverywhere.

Seconded....and i've had the mispleasure of seeing them live 3 times...

Megadeth have confirmed the new album "Super Collider" will be released in June 2013. Not in time for the gig in Glasgow...I wonder if they will include a song or two from the new album...probably the first single I reckon. I'm really glad the gig is at the Academy...I've seen Megs in The Barras, SECC and Academy and there's no contest that they were far superior in the Academy..I wonder who the support will be? Better not be JFAC again

Nah its 27.50 + fees, still quite steep though,.... I don't think the new album will be out for before then, they're still mixing it, I think. It could be I suppose...

Megadeth - O2 Academy - Glasgow - 04/06/13 About damn time!! yaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss

I see Rangers have employed a teenage girl to write their official club statements...
