His dad was a person who produces β€˜tools’. I rest my case, m’lud

No, just online. I thought it would be awful and ticket prices were crazy. I saw the original line up in 1999, system of a down supported! That was a hell of a show!

A majestic choice! It’s more than likely it’ll hit the turntable later.

Turntable playing ozzy osbourne the ultimate sin album

Many of β€˜my lot’ will be dusting off their sabbath albums today, but I’m going for this, which came out when I was 13 and I think is a brilliant album. Transports me back in time to a really exciting time in metal music.

I’m similarly irritated by people who I know have heard (at most) 1 sabbath album and couldn’t name more than 3 solo songs going β€˜oh, what a tragic loss’ …

The Wembley shows on this tour are probably the best maiden gigs I’ve ever seen … but I’ve told you that story before:)

To answer a question, yes they recreated the entire stage show for the maiden England tour, it was amazing, but the setlist was worse. Unfathomably, they included afraid to shoot strangers, and didn’t include still life or killers.

Now unavailable which I assume means that 25 people spunked Β£7K on a coin. Other crazy expensive ones are have also sold out.

One benefit of having the worst case of norovirus in my life is I finally got to watch this while trying not to vom in a bucket. It’s excellent. Everything is *crazy* fast.

Also, I broadly agree with that order.

Nights of the dead sounds like dog shit which is a real shame because that tour and setlist was awesome.

We have reluctantly returned to in person exams for all methods modules because it is the only way to ensure integrity, but it also penalises certain kinds of students. The vast majority of students don’t use AI, the minority make things worse for the majority.

It’s an amazing record, apart from that 5 mins

Fun episode. Two follow ups: (1) stadium sound always depends on where you are. It was great front standing, can imagine it was echoey shite elsewhere. (2) speed: they played aces high about 10bpm slower than on powerslave, but I think it’s better for it.

I did not enjoy @danmersh.bsky.social harnessing β€˜the story of the hare who lost his spectacles’.

It would suit them more than Ozzy era. They could do a great version of neon knights.

If I ask him to brush his teeth, ignored, if β€˜joey’ asked, teeth got brushed, I ask him to put his pjs on? Nothing. β€˜Joey’ asked and he rushed to put them on.

When my eldest was about 3, he loved Europe ( I was listening to them a lot at the time) and for a time doing his bedtime went a lot more smoothly if I adopted a Swedish accent and paraded into his room like a rock god saying β€˜hey, its joey tempest, doing your bedtime … let’s rock the night!’

Go see them live, I defy you to not have a good time and leave with a smile on your face.

I love Europe … every album from last look at Eden onwards is a banger.
