Nik Turner's Space Ritual at Frome Cheese and Grain in Oct 2008.
Damn good gig considering they had all there kit nicked the night before!

Saw him a few years ago in Frankfurt. He saw us standing outside and even though we had tickets invited us backstage prior to the gig for a beer and scooby snacks first. About 80 people in a 500 person hall. Excellent gig and afterwards saw around shooting the breeze with everyone. Had a good chat with Trev from the Atomgods and got some tapes from him.

I think the Manics are playing at The Roundhouse soon ... I can pretend to be a pseudo-punk again

My last gig was Runrig at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 2007; before that it was Barenaked Ladies at the Hammersmith Apollo.

I play guitar, I listen to guitar.

The singers only there to accompany the guitarist.

If he's a good voice, he's more listenable to than the bass

Saw Dio live a couple of years back Tony, in a little cellar in the Newcastle Uni halls of residence and they rocked!

Each to their own, I know but their guitarist Doug Aldrich (who also tours with Whitesnake) is a star. He also stayed behind afterwards for a chat and a beer.

That said, I love Dio's voice and had to see him tour with Heaven and Hell last year (80's Black Sabbath ). Will go again when they tour with their new album.

I saw them at a place in Leeds while I was still at school, when they used to tour around carrying large chunks of Scotland with them (castles and dragons etc) They were good but shortly after I realised all his songs follow a format.

They all have rubbihs lyrics and the last verse is a repeat of the stuff he sang earlier. it's as if he hits 70% of the way through and things fec it I'm off to the pub and just does a bit of cutting and pasting. Finally all his songs are something to do with children of the night with a sword in their hands fighting for something. It's like the musical version of dungeons and dragons.

I like the tunes though - I just wished his lyrics were not so geeky

Rammstein in London on their last tour. Awesome.

So on the same tour, I also got tickets to see them in Prague and Germany as well.

I lurvvve Rammstien, they are my poddi music of choice for marching along busy streets - everyone gets out of my way
