theboyangel Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Saw Jane Weaver tonight at the Hare & Hounds and she was more than decent. There was a lot from Flock, her latest opus but a lot of older more electronic/looped stuff too. Well worth the entrance fee regardless!

Davkaus Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I was meant to be seeing Parkway Drive at Wembley last April. They've finally cancelled after pushing it back a couple of times, and the good news is now they're playing in Nottingham, and have a much better warm up act. A 30 minute round trip on the bus instead of a 6 hour drive, I can have a few beers, and get to see While She Sleeps instead of Crystal Lake, when I'd have paid the entry fee for WSS anyway. Brilliant news. They're one of the few acts I'd like to see perform in a stadium, but I'll happily wait for that trade. Not until next year though. Next weekend, I have Brilly Bragg on Friday then Svalbard on the Sunday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Suede at Alexandra Palace last night , my 4th time seeing them in the last few years. ( love that venue , before the main arena they have a court with loads of food stuff , local bands playing and never a queue at the bar ) Was the 25th Anniversary of Coming up so they played that in its entirety then came back and did a full on set ... few times it looked like some besotted female was going to kidnap him and take him home , but it all added to the vibe and the band and the crowd were fully into it looking forward to seeing them a 5th time some point in the future Edited November 12, 2021 by tonyh29 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suede are a band that I wouldn't say I was a fan of but then I look at what I own and how many times I have seen them, it contradicts it a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are getting to the stage where life is too short to not go out and enjoy yourself. I’m also seeing Svalbard tonight, which is the first proper gig I’ve been to since February 2020. Nearly 2 years without one has been absolutely heartbreaking so I am so looking forward to it! Just got to survive the Villa game beforehand but it’s going to be a good day come what may!

I did end up going, and though Bragg put on a damn good show, **** me it reminded me how much I hate people. Bit different to the normal gigs I go to, but I ended up having a go at two old crows who spent the entire gig having a chat to each other in shrill voices, even during the quiet songs. This sounds stupid, I know, you don't expect silence at a gig, and if it was cheering, or singing along, or the odd chat in between songs, no problem, but they were prattling on constantly for the full first half of the set. 2 or 3 people politely asked them to be quiet. They did for a few minutes at a time then caried on like they were catching up in a pub. I got so annoyed after the last person asked them, when they carried on, I walked over and screamed at them to SHUT THE **** UP, we paid £30 to hear the artist, not their tedious bollocks. People talking isn't a problem that's possible at a metal gig, so I doubt I'll have similar problems at Svalbard, if anyone can make themselves heard at that kind of gig, fair play to them. It'll be my first time in a pit for 21 months! Enjoy the gig! Edited November 20, 2021 by Davkaus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were excellent but more just f***ing delighted at going to a proper gig again after all this. Around 21 months as well for me, last one before this was Napalm Death in Feb 2020. Up next Pigs x7 on Thursday but I think that may be it sadly for this year as a few have cancelled or postponed until next year. Still good to be back! And I got to sing “Sweet Caroline” in the Holte End this afternoon too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to see Pigs too, but in a couple of weeks in Nottingham, I'm also going to see The Wildhearts and Enter Shikari before Christmas, then I think that's it until next year which is shaping up to be alright, looking like a normal year, so far I have these booked, quite a few of them I'll be seeing for the first time: Evil Scarecrow Beartooth Architects Gojira + Alien Weaponry Machine Head + Amon Amarth Parkway Drive + While She Sleeps August Burns Red + Bury Tomorrow I Prevail Half Man, Half Biscuit Meshuggah I'm 50/50 on booking Sabaton tickets, mostly because Lordi are supporting Edited November 21, 2021 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tempted by Gojira but would have to travel to your neck of the woods for it! You should also definitely check out Employed To Serve if you haven't already who are also supporting. With Sabaton you should go. First caught them back in 2007/8 and they were great then. The last couple of albums are a bit so so but they are still good fun live. Mind you I don't think I would bother travelling to London or Leeds for it. For me, I did have Pitchshifter and Lamb of God that were due to to be this year but both gone back a year. I also have Mol, Enslaved and Primordial off the top of my head for a fair chunk of Black Metal (ish). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I'm 50/50 on Lamb of God, I'd like to see them, but not enough to travel to Birmingham after work, in rush hour in the middle of winter...They're in Manchester on the Sunday though so I might take the longer trip and make a day of it. I haven't heard the others on your list though, I'll check them out as well as Employed to Serve. If you do end up going to the Gojira gig, let me know, there's a pint on me! Sabaton are another one in Nottingham, it's both a blessing and a curse that I'm so close to the city centre so I have no excuses when bands turn up at the arena or Rock City, it's ten minutes away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth it, and good seats above a stairwell so no twatt standing up in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played their most well known stuff. Howling Pelle tried to piss the crowd off but won them over in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
