I like Samsaugs and LGs, they look good to my untrained eye.
Only thing I'd say about getting that telly though is that it's The Labryinth's 25 aniversary this week, so if I was gonna get that telly, I'd buy Labyinth of bluray so I can watch it on the new telly in really good quality.

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Hayseed Dixie, Diamond Head, Killing Joke, Weezer, Bad Religion, Sum 41, Sylosis, Sisters Of Mercy, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Motorhead, Parkway Drive, Mastodon, Arch Enemy, Volbeat, Airbourne, and Fozzy

I would fucking love to see Diamond Head
I am envious of that

Saw Limp Bizkit the year before last. I liked them a lot in my youth, and yet found them to be fucking terrible. Really fucking terrible.

Airbourne are thoroughly entertaining, as are Hayseed Dixie. Metallica and Slayer will be ace too.

Limp Bizkit are on there simply because I've never seen them live, caught them at Download (on the live stream), and was very impressed.
I'm hoping to hear The Big 4 plus Diamond Head perform 'Am I Evil?' too, that'd be huge.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:18, Reply)

Diamond Head have got a bunch of great songs
seriously though, Limp Bizkit were fucking dreadful live when I saw them. Might just have been his voice I guess.

I can take or leave Anthrax, but the other 3 are going to be marvellous.

Salad.
Mozzarella, mixed baby leaves, chives, red onion, tomatoes, mint, coriander and balsamic dressing. Despite the absence of MEAT it's just the ticket.
