I've just got back from Heriot-Watt's so called "Rock and metal night"
It was a relentless dirge of shit emo bands and oh-look-at-me-I'm-so-indie-but-I-look-and-sound-just-like-every-other-fucking-band wankery.

What SHOULD they have played?

Iron Maiden
and Sugababes. Naturally

Any univesity that has a name like a fop
is bound to shy away from real rock music.

I'm going out on a limb, here
...but I reckon they'd have been better off playing rock and metal.

well, you know me and my 'challenging' musical standpoint.

What are you liking today Monty?
Please don't mention Tractor again. I will listen, I promise.

This week I have purchased
* 'Shakin' All Over' by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates on 7" - quite possibly the best British record from the early rock'n'roll years
*a Billy Lee Riley 'best of' LP which is early rockabilly- best track 'Flying Saucer Rock'n'Roll'

and last night I ordered 'Freelance Fiend' by Leaf Hound on reissue 7" - they're an obscure British heavy rock band in the vein of Free or Led Zep - it's a great slice of cowbell-heavy riffage. Marvellous. An original copy of their sole LP would set you back about £1500...

WELL YOU MAKE ME SHAKE, AND I LIKE IT ROWNTREE'S!!!
I likes that song very much.

My uncle told me to listen to My Morning Jacket and I liked a lot. Some sounded like it wasn't even by the same band and some sounded like Crosby Stills Nash & Young. I shall be listening again.
They have a song about fancying the librarian.

I find CSN&Y's studio stuff a bit too tame for my raucous tastes
but they were fucking brilliant at Woodstock.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:17, Reply)

In that case you're listening to the wrong CSN&Y
You need Cantankerous, Satanic, Niggly & Yeast-infection

I definitely do, that sounds much more my scene

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:30, Reply)

Leaf Hound sound good
I should check them out
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:38, Reply)

'Growers of Mushroom' is the LP title
they are brilliant.

Not an easy one to answer really
As the spectrum of metal is massive now, so it's hard to please everyone.

For me, if they didn't play any Pantera then the night would automatically be classed a failure.

Still, I'd settle for tracks by any of the following: Chimaira, The Berzerker, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Sepultura, Mastodon (Off Crack The Skye), Suffocation, SOAD, Metallica, Rammstein, Cradle Of Filth, or Carcass.

If it was 'rock' and there was no Queen, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd or Mr Blue Sky - ELO then I would class it as a failure.

I wish they didn't play Queen at rock nights

Your opinion counts for nothing
As you are both Spike, and a man :D

I'll have you for that

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:08, Reply)

I'm guessing Aggy's favourite bands are
1. New York Dolls
2. Sigue Sigue Sputnik
2. TRANSvision Vamp

I can't think of any other 'tranny' bands
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:12, Reply)

Never heard any of their stuff
Although in relation to your Bowie hatred, The Monty doth protest too much, methinks

It's become a bit of a 'thing' on here
but I really do think he's fucking terrible, I promise you.

If I think about it properly, much of my loathing is actually directed at his fans who are, 'like, really into Bowie'. I don't what it is really - it's also a kind of 'can no-one but me see that this cunt's records are really, really pedestrian?' thing.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 14 Jan 2010, 9:41, Reply)

It's a great 'thing'
see below post! No but I can see what you're getting at. In fact so many bands are ruined by the blind-sightedness of the fans. Bands with alright songs such as OASIS! go from being an alright, almost acceptable band down to absolute dogshit simply because of the fans.

There was one song by Iron Maiden
And a couple by Rammstein. There was no Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynard, Queen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, ELO or Deep Purple to be heard. When I asked them to play Zeppelin's "Trampled underfoot" and the guy in the DJ box said "When it quietens down a bit" I knew it was going to be bad.

Give some of those emo-sexuals a bit of helping hand with their self-harming.

I've been to that campus
Stuck out in the middle of nomansland. The ratio of man to woo man something like 25:1.

But in my honest opinion they should've played the entire "Hunky Dory" album in order by the living legend David Bowie, followed by the entire "Electric Warrior" album by T.Rex

True about the women to men
Also true that the ratio of human to sports scientist is very much similar.
