Well I reckon you are probably expecting a Metallica gig review today , but that’s oh so predictable , so I’ll talk about yet another music related topic - instead :)
………..”I notice the Chinese authorities have revoked British band - Oasis’s permit to tour on Monday , stating they are “unsuitable” because of their involvement in a Free Tibet Gig in 1998 …………..an…d……thi….s…….is….w .“
……CRACKLE … CRACKLE FIZZZ .FIZZZZTT…ZZZZZZZZZ…….ZZZZZ…FIZZ…..Z…
hang on what’s going on here ???????? ........…Oasis !!!………. hey - has someone been hacking in to my account and posting rubbish …………huh !!! - better go and report them……. :)……
Magnetised Death
Well - people carrying huge black beach balls emblazoned with Metallica are certainly not something you see at 11.00 on a freezing winters evening in Newcastle , ….errrr - people running round half naked – yes ………… beach balls – no :) Looking at the beach ball gang running around , if I didn’t know better I wouldn’t have needed snow to crash through the fence , so on this principle - do I have to give up my metal martyrdom , due to lack of commitment to the cause :)
Ok rewind ………….last nights bit of “hilarity” in the foyer before the gig , was announcing to all and sundry – “ I’ve only come to see the support band ” , and then watching peoples reaction , which ranged from mild agreement to violent disagreement - one of these days my humour will get me a good kicking - I’m sure :)
Later - I was talking to a friend of mine - Davey Volume - so called because he owned a record shop called Volume in the dim distant past , and you had the usual suspects from my own disco’s , stopping and saying hi :)It was getting so bad - Davey leans over and says - “hey are you f**king famous or something - I’d better ask for your autograph “ , and at that point it got even worse , as I look slightly like James Hetfield with hair circa 1989 - two girls wanted their photo taken with me – now that’s embarrassing …. ……………..so I’ll review the rest of the gig from under a stone :)
The gig itself was an excellent selection of tracks , and wait for this………. I actually liked …….gasp !!! …….some of their new stuff too , unlike my old friend - Evil Don who wouldn’t even come tonight as he reckoned they were all too ”nice for him” , and no doubt spent the evening in his Children of Bodom t shirt , listening to Cannibal Corpse- decapitating christ - or what ever they do in their spare time :)
Hmmmm ………and now I’m thinking possible career change here – maybe grow a goatee beard and become a James Hetfield impersonator………..
….FIZZZZ……FIZZ…..ZZZTCRACKLE…ZZZZTNORMAL SERVICE ….. …RESUMED….. …ZZZ… ….NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED........................
………..you were all saved by the cut off there ..
'''I just wonder if you really want to hear about the Gallagher brothers pedantic goings on , so I think I’ll just desist ……. right here- right now …:)
