In the mail from SwapaDVD:

 

Isn't that the worst Bond film ever?

 

(I can't really remember, as I haven't seen it since I was a kid.)

 

Nah ... the 'battle in space' is quite entertaining ... AND it's got Jaws in it ...

The Gathering: if_then_else

It Doesn't MATTER Anymore - Buddy Holly

Saxon: ... And The Bands Played On (now set as my ringtone )

http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Blade-Anniversary-Various-Artists/dp/B00006LSOJ

I didn't get mine from Amazon ... none of the CDs look like they've ever been played ...

I stopped reading Classic Rock some time ago ... I stick with the copies of whatever magazines JamesEagle chooses to send my way

That said, if anyone on here can get to Pitsea market on a Saturday, they have a stall that stocks magazines ... not current issues, obviously ... but I've picked up Classic Rock's Alice Cooper, Jethro Tull, Blondie and Motorhead Fan-Packs there (magazine, plus full CD, plus other bits) for £2 apiece (about £12 or £13 less than the cover price.) I've also grabbed a couple of AOR and Prog 'specials' for the same price

 

I really don't like this magazine much. It's entirely full of bloody adverts, & it also completely refuses to accept that it is no longer 1978. A reviewer is supposed to have an appreciation for the different genres & be able to compare the sound of a band to other similar bands, to help those who might like to buy the product. They should also be able to objectively review material based upon it's merit. The writers are so utterly unhelpful for those wanting to understand what a band sounds like...

 

I stick to Metal Hammer...

You have to remember that it's ex-Kerrang writers.

 

For those of you unfamiliar with Kerrang, it used to be a hard rock & heavy metal magazine

 

Ah, yes - THOSE were the days! I still remember their 'controversial' Prince cover ... man, I'm old!

Waiting until November ... me and JamesEagle are off to see Orphaned Land on the 13th and then Carcass/Amon Amarth on the 17th ... it'll take me WEEKS to recover!

 

Jack The Giant Slayer (with the kids) ... does Bill Nighy EVER appear as himself these days?

Wait, he's in that? I had absolutely no desire to watch that until now.

 

Yeah ... he's the CGIed leader of the giants ... the voice gives him away
