  1. I went to The Tunnels in Aberdeen for Heavens Basement. Sadly missed the first band Skarlett Riot but Buffalo Summer were excellent. I've been going to see Heavens Basement since 2003, right through from their Hurricane Party and Roadstar days and they have always been fantastic. Last night was no exception, from the off they went for it at full throttle. However, they are a different animal from previous incarnations in that they are a lot harder now. The singer is very good at the stuff written during his time with HB, but the earlier songs played last night just did not suit his particular style and he is not as charismatic as the previous singer. He's still bloody good though. They should be huge now, but circumstances have conspired against them, wrong place wrong time kinda thing. The biggest negative of the night was the, at best, lukewarm reception for both bands that I saw. It's little wonder that so few decent rock bands come this far north.

  2. Ok few things about the gig last night:

    1- The support band were unsurprisingly shite

    2- The heat in the venue was fucking torture

    3- The sound as usual sucked (Drums way to loud, guitars and vocals hard to hear at points)

    4- Despite all that Megadeth were still fucking brilliant :D

    5- Oh and the title track from their new album "Supercollider" still really sucks, hearing it live didnt save it at all.

    Cannae really argue with anything you've said, but, I'm still undecided about Super Collider. Vocals were virtually undetectable but Megadeth were simply awesome despite the mix.

  3. I got my Sabbath tickets today through Live Nation. Never seen them before so I am as happy as a pig in the biggest pile of dung you could imagine! Went to see Michael Schenker in Aberdeen last night, absolutely majestic.

  4. Motorhead at Glasgow in November

    Airbourne at Glasgow in December

    Status Quo at Aberdeen in December

    Thin Lizzy at Aberdeen in January.

    I'm hoping to get tickets for Sabaton in October, but I may not be able to get time off work :(

  5. The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Homemade Sin and Diamond Dogs at Moshulu last night were excellent. Good unashamed rock'n'roll, with a southern twist from Dan Baird, all night. Magnificent.

    Next on the agenda-Motorhead/Saxon and Danko Jones in November at the Academy in Glasgow. Although I hope that their will be something in the offing to keep me going until then.

  6. The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Diamond Dogs next Monday-12th May-Moshulu, Aiberdeen

    Motorhead, Saxon, Danko Jones 10th November Glasgow Academy,

    Status Quo 16th December, AECC.

    Considering going to see Stone Gods at Doghouse in Dundee, any opinions on them? I know it's basically The Darkness withoot Justin, but that's all I know about them.

  7. Off to see Hayseed Dixie in Aiberdeen tomorrow. YEEEEEEEEEE, and indeed, HAAAAAAAAAAAA. I've got my dungarees and bandana looked out already!

    Next up is The Quireboys, Dan Baird and Homemade Sin and Diamond Dogs on May 12th at Moshulu.

  8. Hanoi Rocks at Moshulu last night were awesome. Michael Monroe exploded on to the stage and the pace barely slipped all night. Fuckin' brilliant. Played most of the new album and a few oldies as well.

    Soho Dolls as the main support was just plain weird. Decent enough for a listen, but not what you would expect for a rock/metal gig.

    Next on the agenda-Hayseed Dixie 25th March, then possibly The Quireboys and Dan Baird on 12th May.

  9. couldnt go to see any just cuz of the venue,the place is a hole

    "Gig held in shithole shocker" What do you expect like, candelabra, chandeliers, waiter service, opera glasses.

    It's a gig for christ sake, you don't go to appreciate the ambience of the venue.

  10. Nazareth-20th February-Moshulu-Aberdeen

    Hanoi Rocks-27th February-Moshulu

    Hayseed Dixie-25th March-Moshulu.

    Also seriously thinking about going to see Maylene and the Sons of Disaster at Moshulu in January.

  11. Status Quo were magnificent at Aberdeen on Monday night. From the opening bars of Caroline to the fading bars of Bye Bye Johnny the place was bouncing. It took a full day to peel the smile aff my fizzog.

    Can't wait for Dundee tonight.

  12. Towers of London at Moshulu-18th July,

    Thin Lizzy/Queensryche at Aberdeen Music Hall-1st December,

    Status Quo at AECC-17th December,

    Status Quo at Caird Hall , Dundee,-19th December.

    Edited 'cos there are no' 119 days in December !

  13. Went to see Nazareth in the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen on Saturday night. Absolutely superb.

    Good support band as well, Redhouse-from the Glasgow area I believe. Anybody know anything about them ?
