So, Ginger Wildheart pulled his show after being hospitalised following an 'altercation' at a gig in Ireland ... *rolls eyes*

 

Off to Mammoth Fest next month (with JamesEagle) - we're going on the Friday night (the 'Black Metal' night), so I'm not expecting lush harmonies and catchy choruses

October 31st - Justin Currie (former Del Amitri frontman.)

 

November 3rd - Paradise Lost.

 

November 10th - Cradle Of Filth.

I'm seeing Fish on Dec 17th. Should be epic. The whole of Clutching.....

Thanks, guys - feeling a whole lot better now!

Once or twice a month, I go to see my eldest son, so I'll get the chance to listen to maybe six or seven CDs in the car (more, if they don't hold my interest) ... but pretty much everything I listen to is 'older' material (usually stuff that has been sitting around for a while, that I just haven't got around to playing.) Gone are the days when I'd be buying every single in every format by a favourite band!

... how the hell do you guys (and girls) find the time to listen to/keep up with all these bands?

I read through the various topics, with every intention of checking out some of this stuff ... then I find that we're six months down the line, one of the bands has split up, another one has released two more albums and another has spawned six side-projects and a TV series ... and I've missed it all!

Okay, so I appreciate that my advanced age, ridiculous number of kids and inability to use earphones/earplugs (long story) doesn't help but, seriously ... do you people never sleep?

Not sure if I should see W.A.S.P. this November...... saw them in 2006 and was already underwhelmed then, I doubt it's gotten any better since then. Anybody seen them recently?

I haven't seen W.A.S.P. for years, but all the reviews I've read suggest that I'm not missing anything ...

Must admit, I was a bit shocked to read that Tobe Hooper had passed away on Saturday ... loved both 'Poltergeist' and 'Lifeforce' ...

'The Hitman's Bodyguard' ... gotta agree with KarpetRyd, this one was brilliant!

Saw the trailer for the 'Flatliners' re-make/re-boot ... it looks as though they've taken everything that made the orignal film so good, and just thrown it all away ...

"The Conjuring 2" (2016)

 

Sequel to the 2013 hit sends real-life ghost busters Ed and Lorraine Warren to London, where a single Mom and her family are experiencing a haunting that may have roots in one of the Warrens' most famous cases.

Not quite as spooky as the original but still a satisfying creep show.

 

Isn't this film a direct lift of 'The Enfield Haunting'?

 

After reading the Wiki page for that series, it sure sounds like it.

 

I really enjoyed 'The Enfield Haunting' ... Timothy Spall was brilliant

What are you all on about? How are these vocals any different from what The Darkness has always been??

I've always hated the vocals ... the music is great, but then Justin opens his mouth ... I much prefer Stone Gods.

Err no it isn't.

 

Those vocals are an abomination

 

Agree 100%

 

Bring back the Stone Gods and ditch the vocal bitch.
