I'm going to Glastonbury and I'm the same, like you, where you are going to something but think the line up is not very good. … just tried to post the lineup, but failed. Will try again tomorrow as we have a public holiday for ANZAC Day

Possibly not the right thread, not long back from a weekend in London , took the good lady to watch Abba voyage at Stratford, I personally wasn’t sure on this one, friends said it was a cartoon etc. I cannot recommend this show enough, fantastic atmosphere and music. The level of production was out of this world, massive credit to the house band and effects guys and girls. Would definatly go to see this when it inevitably tours.

The other night:
Gojira Mastodon Lorna Shore
Gojira is the fiancée's favourite band, was a fantastic atmosphere.
Never really got into Mastodon, they feel like they should have ripping riffs but they don't grab me.
Lorna Shore was something else, holy shit.

My lad (aged 33) absolutely loves Lorna Shore, his neighbours hate them!

How'd you feel about them? I didn't even mention them to my parents, just said "going a show, you wouldn't like it"

I like pretty much any music but Deathcore and Black Metal tends to leave me cold, although I do appreciate why people love it so much.
Nowadays, the hardest stuff I'd actually go and see (well it's actually pretty tame), would be somebody like Limp Bizkit, who we're going to see in London in August and maybe some of the new breed of US hardcore punk bands.

Graywave & Slow Crush. A great double header. Graywave's Blur Into One (heavy shoegaze) is one of the best live songs I've heard, and the only live band I've heard make more incredible noise than Slow Crush are Slowdive.
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. Didn't blow me away apart from the outstanding four vocalists on show, but the 1920s take on classic songs was enjoyable. The tap dancing Mario Bros medley was fun. I loved the Andrew Sisters-esque take on Wannabe by Spice Girls. Covers of Nothing Else Matters, Hallelujah, and Radiohead's Creep were other highlights. All About That Bass was good too (better than the original), with fun antics from the band.
pg.lost. Fantastic post-rock with crunching guitar riffs.

I saw Limp Bizkit at Sonisphere, think I had heatstroke so didn't appreciate it as much as 13 year old me would have. I love melodic metal but never "got" black, death, thrash etc, not even thrashier Metallica. The fiancee might be changing me though, she fucking loves breakdowns and is a pit daemon. Usually takes her 30-60 mins in the shower after a show to wash off the blood and untangle her hair lol. My favourite Lorna Shore video is watching this adorable opera singer try to explain how the singer makes those noises.

Teleman at the Academy 2 in Manchester last night not the ideal preparation for this morning's half marathon. Infectious as hell, audience bouncing, superb renditions of every track just the glaring omission of my favourite track, Right as Rain.
Moved a few days ago from Gorilla due to demand and the venue was a bit shambolic. Doors opened 45 minutes late, punters shown up the wrong set of stairs then retrieved and sent up another set, then stopped from entry into the venue until some employee intervened and told them to get on with it in no uncertain terms.

Totally echo the pick and choose which gigs I go to carefully thing. That said, I Just impulse purchased a ticket for Roger Waters at NEC late May. Been working through seeing a few bands that I’ve always wanted to and somehow never managed to in 40 years, and having seen Floyd once ( in 1994 and I was kind of disappointed ) I realised I’ve never seen Roger. His current “first farewell tour” actually looks a cracker in terms of visuals and setlist and despite it being allegedly sold out and with a waiting list, I just got a nosebleed seat for £60 which I can’t really argue with. Got a few things booked, a few Maiden shows in July, Stonedead fest with Blue Oyster Cult and Blck StarRiders in August , UK Subs in September ( a real farewell tour by sound of, seeing as Charlie is nearly 80) and Bad Manners at Xmas, and may take the Mrs to see Madness at Xmas too. I’ll fit a few others in too, keen to see Stokes own Shader at some point, a cracking indie record for their debut and well worth a listen.

Went to the Wharf Chambers in Leeds last night to see Fatalist (Leeds Black Metal band), Terror Cosmico (Colossal Doom Metal from Mexico) and Vinnum Sabbathi (Space Doom Cosmonauts from Mexico). All three were excellent, very loud in a brilliant small venue - got 10 minutes in between each act to drink in the yard behind with the trains rumbling over the viaduct above and cool off in the rain. Excellent value too - £10 on the door. However, the apocalyptic message of the doom metal had nothing on the the actual goings-on in Leeds city centre at 10.30pm on a Sunday night before a Bank Holiday - I'm getting a bit old for this northern Ragnarok-style drinking and fighting that seems to go on in West Yorkshire every weekend .

Just a heads up on the Roger Waters NEC ticket I got, it appears sold out bar the farcical platinum ticket option but in the "authorised resale ticket" bit on Ticketmaster there's loads, mainly stupidly priced eg £125 BUT I got a £65 face value one for £59 incl the fees so if anyone in the market for one it's worth a look. I clocked that the Aussie Floyd tribute band are best part of £50 on their tour this year so to be able to see the real McCoy for less than £60 seems not unreasonable. All I need to do once in is blag it into a better seat so the TelfordStoke blazer and cravat will be the order of the day on May 31st lol

… just tried to post the lineup, but failed. Will try again tomorrow as we have a public holiday for ANZAC Day … thanks for that PS. One of the bands I actually want to see. Also SlowThai and Loyle Carner. Will have a look at Idles, but not really my cup of tea. All the good stuff seems to be Friday night. Flume headlines Saturday. Seem him before back in the day, as with Mumford and Sons on Sunday

Just getting back from the Echoplex LA. Missed the first openers but saw...
Afterlife - nu metal I think? Lead singer looks like Chester Bennington-Targaryen.
Hollow Front - Fiancée loved.it, bit too American hardcore style for my tastes.
Bury Tomorrow - melodic deathcore. Great work by the front man, tons of banging tunes, crowd bought in 100%. I was excited before but it way exceeded my expectations.

Bombastic Swedish rock/metal with some carnival theme. Absolutely boatloads of fun.
