pamparius

seeing as we all virtually agreed the original poll thread left out all the good stuff. here's another!

can't say i like anything much on that list. my nominations would be (minus the obvious comedy ones)

The Wire

Oz

Dexter

The Sopranos

i went for 7/10

still remain unconvinced by Shorey (although its very early days of course) and Friedel's already had a few unchracteristic flaps too

only time will tell if Cuellar, Sidwell and Milner will push us forwards

what i do know however is we've still got no out and out goalscorer and we still have no cover (of sufficient quality) on either flank or at right back

i guess some creative flair would've been nice too

Gareth Barry for Milner ???

HAHAHA

maybe Milner and 12m

at the end of the day, Barry is a great bloke and a great Villa servant

if this deal goes tits up it wont be his fault, and it wont be Villa's

when he first announced he wanted out i was angry - but then logic kicked in and i could see he wanted to test himself at the highest level after giving us ten years service and not getting a sniff at it

the NOTW episode was frankly stupid - but i'm still of the opinion his agent masterminded that. and this whole dealine fiasco was also somewhat crazy. then again i'm not sure we know ALL of the facts regarding that either

what i do know is this. he's our best player. and if it comes down to him publically saying 'i'm staying', and doing a bit of PR, then i'll be delighted with him pulling on the shirt once again

ten years of excellent service far outweigh a few silly moments

god who out of us hasn't been an idiot on occassion ? where would we be without forgiveness

No, offer him to Arse for 14-15 mil!

No point. he wants to go to LIVERPOOL

No he doesn't, he just wants CL football and a pay-rise.

wanna bet ?

No, offer him to Arse for 14-15 mil!

No point. he wants to go to LIVERPOOL

16m AND Finnan = YES

16m = NO

the club obviously don't want to exclude those fans that can't afford season tickets from coming to Villa Park

and rightly so IMO

Indeed. a wonderful gesture

we are doing and saying exactly what we should. NOTHING

as always we're showing class once again

On the rhythm front I find Malcolm Young to be part of (IMHO) the most powerful rhythm section in rock.

wise words mucka. Mal is the rhythm king

what about Angus Young, he's way better than soft rock/pop guitarist May

That has to be a joke, right? I can't take a guitarplayer who admits that he only knows 4 chords seriously. And definitely not a person who thinks that he's a good one at that. Angus Young is a decent one, nothing more.

BEHAVE! Brian May is a dull as dishwater guitarist. where's the groove ? where's the emotion ? he actually has a sound that could make me vomit! its certainly unique i'll give him that. but then again so was Hitler

apart from Sir Keef, Iommi and Page. there are NO better riff-makers than Ang & Mal

unless the criteria for being a great player now isn't making great riffs and great songs ???

i don't think so mate!

there's some on there i wouldn't go down to the cellar to listen to

where's Iommi ? where's Keef ? where's Angus ?

all genius riff makers

the Police at the NIA has to be one of the lamest/snoozefests i've ever been too. took my sister cos she used to love me, she was bored to.

Maiden, I believe they still have the highest ever live gate, when they played Long Beach.

Eh ? Long Beach Arena isn't very big. 20k tops

When it comes to AC/DC I like thier classics but can't stand the rest. I have their double Live-album and it's quite good, but even that one contents some horrible stuff.

that Live album stinks. mainly because it sounds too nice and has a dickhead on drums ruining the groove. the only AC/DC live documents you need are If You Want Blood and Live At The Atlantic Studios. both of which are raw and to the point

i dunno what are really considered the 'classics' Pelle. but for me the most perfect rock n roll in history (alongside Exile On Main Street of course) is

all killer, no filler and not a single dragon in sight

both crap

Anyway, how can you comment on Maiden looking stupid when DC have Angus Young, rolling around on the floor, in a school uniform?!

if he were rolling around in a spandex uniform i'd give you that

music every time. films can't have the same emotional impact as music

Maiden were just a joke.

how so?

I choose Maiden. Infact, I'm going to see them in July at Twickenham. Should be amazing.

he probably feels like me, that its panto metal. stupid stage sets, 'its behind you' style cat calls as Eddie lumbers around. grown men gurning and singing about mythical bollocks

spandex

pompous epics

spotty fans

etc etc

but i may be wrong

its a clear as crystal to me. the DC all the way

but i'm sure some pimply teenagers will disagree :-)

both considered the big boys of metal

although obviously AC/DC are nothing to do with metal at all

the two bands most rock kids grew up on. but who are the guvnors ?

love Rush up until Signals (enjoyed last album too mind)

BOC is really only about the first 3/4 albums for me. before they went AOR

having listened to it. i don't understand the title. were they being ironic ?
