  1. That song is ace! One of the funniest metal songs of all time.
  2. Eight. Maybe that's a touch high, but we've filled the main problem positions and have added to the squad. Three truly excellent signings in Friedel, Cuellar, and Milner IMO. Like everyone else's said, a striker to push our usual front pair would have been good, but it's been a very good transfer window overall. Oh, and we held on to Barry. With that, we have sent out a very strong message.
  3. Agree with that. I personally would drop Petrov but think MON wil drop NRC.
  4. You'll know when you've found it - It'll be red with purple flashes. ...just Try and Stop Me, etc.
  5. Creation - "So Lonely Boy in Town" I was looking for things by The Creation, and well...
  6. My mum knows the bloke who played Davros on Dr Who.
  7. The Electric Toilet - Within Your State of Mind
  8. Amazing what a few signings could do. Depending on who (if) we get...
  9. You know I think he probably did, given the good punctuation, syntax and spelling.
  10. No. They can pay our valuation. At this point it's only an extra million. Ultimately, I'd rather Barry didn't go to the straggler in the "top 4" - especially if we're hoping to challenge for that position. We don't need the money (+ I'd rather Barry stayed). Etc.
  11. Alright, I'm sure he's impressed As for the question, all the above except Coke (heroin once accidentally, as Bickster above). Fun times and all that, but can't say I've wanted to for quite a while.
  12. Not even a remotely close or fair comparison.
  13. An exceptional but underrated rock guitarist is Andy Summers.
  14. Completely disagree. Page was a much better soloist/lead guitarist than he was at riffing. He only created two or three great riffs ("Whole Lotta Love", "Kashmir", and "In the Evening"... maybe a fourth in "The Ocean"). Iommi crafted at least that many great riffs ("Paranoid", "Iron Man", "War Pigs", "Sabbra Cadabra", and "Heaven and Hell" for starters). Page pisses all over Iommi though, when it comes to solos. IMO, what made Metallica great was/is the combination of a neo-Iommi in Hetfield with a neo-Page in Hammett. What's the saying? Opinions are like assholes: Everyone's got one. And it stinks. So... Iommi is a riff god, no arguments there. And, like Django Reinhardt, he's only got two good fingers yet is nonetheless a distinctive soloist. And he's probably a Villa fan. But he's not on the poll... As for Page, there's far more to rhythm guitar than just riffing. He could pull out all the Bert Jansch-inspired English-folksy shit when he wanted to too. In his own way, he's a wonderful guitarist, a tone monster - but he just does way too much tedious blues tock wailing for my taste. Similarly Stevie Ray. And, IMO of course, Hammet and Hetfield are ordinary guitarists.
  15. Hendrix. Far and away the most trailblazing of all of them and died before he had the chance to make years and years of sucky music (Clapton). FWIW technically, from that list Brian May probably has the best and most diverse technique... Jimmy Page may the best rhythm guitarist on there, but he did some real stinkers as far as guitar solos go, e.g. "Heartbreaker" ...Awful.
  16. Chalk and cheese. AC/DC.
  17. Neither. Aberdeen since the Ferguson days.
