Pretty much the most amazing band in NZ. Have seen these guys so many times, and was lucky enough to tour with them. Their live show will seriously blow you away - completely moving. <3<3<3

Groupie?

[GaR]

Metallica, Primal Fear, Iced Earth, Black Sabbath (Dio era), Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, Testament, James Murphy. They'd be the main ones, I suppose. There are many others.

Black Tide look promising based on their debut album. Machine Head are looking better than they have in years; it's just a pity that Testament's Formation of Damnation shat on The Blackening so comprehensively. Death Magnetic has revived Metallica's status. Arch Enemy are cranking out good albums. Fear Factory unfortunately looks like a dead duck these days, but they released a lot of good material while they were together. Edguy have gone a bit progressive for my taste, as have Dream Theater - though again, their back catalogues are full of gold. The same could be said for Iced Earth, but they can boast some the best metal albums ever amongst their achievements, so I've found it in ym heart to forgive. The return of Matt Barlow has helped no end.

Just saw Dave Dobbyn in concert tonight with the Wellington SO - Was a great concert - That guy just pelts out National Anthems - Very cool

[Mriceguy]

The bands I listen most to would have to be U2, Switchfoot/Jon Foreman and Coldplay. And some kiwi stuff by Split Enz/Crowded House/Finn Brothers. Oh can't forget Genesis/Phil Collins and The Police/Sting too!

Went down to Churchurch for Southern Amp at the weekend.

Of course, Testament (the only good band there) cancelled a few weeks ago.

So we refunded our tickets and explored Churchurch all day. On foot. It was fun times.

Found an old school second hand record store and spent our refunds on music

The attachment shows my cohorts and I outside the old flour mill. I'm on the right.
