Maxime's Rock Night held on Fridays
This has disappointed for a very long while.

I have been to many Rock Nights (Jilly's, Sheffield Corporation, Rio’s, Post-mortem, and Wendyhouse) and have loved going to those establishments for a night of moshing, alcohol, high jinks and “metuuul”. My favourite establishment by far is Post-mortem in Manchester.

It has played the same dull crap every time, and is barely worth going to anymore. One night was reported to be that chronically bad, that Fall Out Boy had been played twice. The DJ’s never listen, and it’s a fixed play list of what they deem to be popular. This has too much Kerrang TV orientated fare.

The worst is Room 2, that glorious cavern of despair, playing awful Indie music. And, not of the classic stuff either. Awful crap like the Libertines and what not, and others I can’t be arsed naming. You would have thought that they would have taken a leaf out of Post-mortem’s book, and keep the room for the more extreme flavours of metal like Children of Bodom, Carcass, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, and classic thrash by Exodus, early Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and all bands in-between that are too numerous to mention. Oh no, can’t do that. And continue playing horrid Indie shite.

The 25th anniversary special last Friday promised it all, but amounted to nothing and had all the impact of a mouse’s fart. This was no different than any other night, apart from the fact that more trends had shown up than normal because “Kerrang TV tunes are played there, innit?”

Scores of my friends have quit going, and have gone to better establishments. And I only ever bother attending the comedic “AOR/Hair Metal night” held on the 1st Friday on the month. Only on the basis that friends from Yorkshire come over and I can hang out with them, and a few other friends of mine. My ears mainly tune the horrid falsetto screaming din out, as I just go there to socialise with said peeps.

Fuck you Maxime’s, and you’re shitty play list. Fucking kill the DJ’s and get someone decent in to do a proper job!

NEXT!

Indeed
Been to Maximes once. Never again. The DJ really showed his metal knowledge by referring to Manowar as "depressing shite", then promptly playing Marilyn fucking gaynose Manson.

Post-Mortem is really great though. I would be more annoyed about them not running any nights for the summer, but I'm skint anyway.
