Rugeley Villa

Was. Today, I are mostly listening to: I'd still get on it, I love zep but I find houses of the holy a bit thin if you know what I mean but in weather like this its probaly the first zep album I'd put on as it gives out a bit of a sunny day kind of feel

I like that one aswell, to be fair I like most of their stuff and grace slick is hot as f***, great voice aswell

Surrealistic pillow by jefferson airplane, just got the nice relaxing vibe to listen to it,

Haha ok I'll agree their metal

they are definately the band who influenced metal and made it what it was, they also had the metal imagery, I just don't think you can just say sabbath are just a metal band, ye they had metal moments but I think they were a band on their own in their own genre, they even had elements of jazz in the early years along with blues, sabbath was a sound, you hear so many people say the “sabbath sound“ as deep purple influenced speed metal sabbath was more the doomy stoner kind of metal

Rolling stones, sticky fingers, they ay the first band that come into my mind when I get asked who's the greatest band ever but when you listen to their albums its hard not to think they are, effortless playing and they just sound so bloody good

Of course. Wouldn't say it's one of my favourites - metal isn't my favourite music, and Heep aren't even my favourite metal band - but it has its place in my collection. Funnily enough I played it a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in many years. And a "seconded" for 8pints' recommendation of "It Might Get Loud". Although I feel duty bound to quote my daughter's brilliantly succinct summary of it: Jimmy Page: "Son House!" Jack White: "Yeah! Son House!" The Edge: "Erm... I've got this pedal..." I feel heep are more heavy rock than metal well its how I see them anyway, I must admit I ay a huge metal fan and metallica are the only real metal band I really like, I don't class sabbath(my fav band) as metal, so many great rock albums from the 70s,

Anyone familiar with uriah heep demons and wizard album? Must say its one of my favourite albums and at no point during the album do I need to press the skip button, great 70s rock album, I like heep a lot, like deep purple they use the organ to the extreme

My best mate well he used to be my best mate is serving 25 years in prison for murder, knew him for years at school and used to always be out on the piss with him and sometimes he would come the villa with me as he was a villa fan, well anyway he was a prick at times but pretty harmless to be honest, no one ever took him seriously or felt threatened by him but he was a weekend drug user, just your normal drugs you know anyway to cut a long story short the drugs ended up getting the better of him and they changed him, he ended up on the needle slamming speed and coke all the time, he was in a rocky relationship and he ended up stabbing his mrs to death, he stabbed her 18 times or summat, she was carrying his baby aswell, did drugs play a big part in this?? To right they did, I knew him for years and saw him change, but never in a million years did I see that coming, if he had not of heavily got involved with drugs it would not have happend, then you have some people no matter how bad they abuse drugs their still ok and normal in the head, drugs represent good times and fun but flip the coin and you can have misery and evil,

I prefer rush in the 70s than the 80s

I liked rush I must admit, wernt one of my favourite bands but what I fount with them that they were very consistent and their longtivity you can't knock, I read somewhere that rush was john paul jones( led zep) favourite band

bloody hell I remember that bed cover, awesome!

True. I was having breakfast in one of the Wetherspoons in Exeter at 11:15 on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago (we were on a special event) and the place was already about 30-40% full of Wetherspoons' finest habitual drunkards. There was a table of three of them sitting not too far from us, eating fry-ups and drinking shorts. One of them must have been about 45-50, and he was shaking so badly he could barely co-ordinate his cutlery with the plate. A chang soldier could have drank right through the night and then sat next to him, downing the same drinks while demonstrating apparent stamina/sobriety. Then cave in for a good 12 hours at some point in the mid-afternoon. In all seriousness, I wouldn't like to get stuck heavily into either, which is why I don't. I barely even drink these days, don't take drugs and haven't smoked for over 10 years. funny you should say that because every day in our wetherspoons its the same old faces getting their daily need of alcohol, any addiction is bad but alcohol addiction for me is deffo one of the worse, alcoholism is a terrible disease, in reality if cocaine and some other drugs are illegal so should alcohol but that will never happen and I don't want it to happen ha, even back in the days of christ people were getting high

what about alcohol related problems or food related health problems or even smoking related health problems, people that don't even smoke end up with lung cancer from passive smoking, to some people drug addiction is a illness and needs treating, but I respect your views because a lot of people would also agree, all kinds of people end up in hospital due to their lifestyle choices wether it be legal or illegal

Alcohol is worse than cocaine for sure if abused

Drug use and abuse has been around for centuries and all kinds of people good and bad have taken them and still take them, theirs benefits from drug use and terrible consequences, to be honest some people think drug users should be executed and some of them should but so should a lot of peopele who don't take drugs, I deffo don't support drugs but its life and drugs will always be around

I've had some great nights on drugs but some terrible nights aswel, I've done most drugs but not heroin, cocaine was my drug of choice and in the 11 years I've been taking it I've blew over 50k on it, I've even chose the drug over my own son and nearly lost my rights to see him but at the moment I'm off it and I'm positive I can stay off it but at times its a struggle, my mrs has gave me one last chance to keep off it or she is gone and I have to then go through the courts to see my son, cocaine is a very more ish drug and a lot of cocaine users have terrible binges on it, my last binge cost me over 700 quid in 4 days on the stuff, I live in a small town of 30k people and the town is absolutely full of drugs especially cocaine, I've always worked hard and never robbed despite having real heavy drug abuse at times, I also don't think I'm a bad person either

Think norwich have most of their ground taking up by season ticket holders which would give them around about 23k season ticket holders, as people have mentioned I think we need to deffo hit the 30k mark before we increase capacity

Talking of the american live aid back in the 80 have any sabbath or zeppelin fans saw the footage of both bands performing at that event? How the mighty had fallen, zeppelin sounded awful and sabbath looked awful, wernt a great display by either band but it was all for a good caurse so can't complain, just seeing both bands together on stage was a miracle, zep were minus their late drummer bonham so some people might say it wernt really zeppelin

I agree. Except that for me it would be 1965 - 1975. 1965 to 1975 is the exact time frame I'd pick

P.s that said though I still think villa park is one of the best grounds in britain easily,

It looks ugly if you're focusing purely on the North Stand, other than that it's a really great looking stadium! meh. the witton lane and north stand look shit IMO although the witton lane stand ay an eyesore like the north stand it is quite bland looking but like I said its ok

that picture has just reminded me how bloody ugly it is, its truly awful from the outside

6/10
