doomed

Subhumans, tonight in Cheltenham.

Not an ABM but it's about the same size racked.

The Exploited at The Fleece, Bristol.

For anyone thinking about a cab from Barefaced, just seen an Instagram post for a 20% discount at Barefaced, enter the code,

At the checkout.

Gave the old Bass Terror a run out at practice tonight..

The Macc Lads tonight in Bristol.

Agnostic Front last night.

While I wouldn't say weird, my Mrs gets her share of nuisance/selling calls. She had one a few months back that she put on speaker phone,

Caller, "It's about your accident... blah blah,"

Mrs, "I haven't had an accident for 20yrs thanks."

Caller, "Oh, what about any family members?"

Me, "Yes. I had a nasty accident last night..."

Caller, "You did Sir??, can I ask what happened, you could be entitled to compensation.."

Me, "Well, I drank 15 pints of strongbow and sh*t my pants..."

Cue scream of laughter from the phone speaker and she hung up... 🤔

I've been listening to Richard (make that Di*k) Lucas's lyrics most of my life, always thought provoking.

I use my phone mostly these days.

Had one since it was launched, it's a great amp, it'll give you any tone you want and there's shed loads of power there, I haven't noticed anything lacking with either of my cabs at 4 or 8ohms.

Looks great, I'd like a case for my Head of Doom just to save having to have it in a rack case, if it had a nice wood/tolex sleeve like the ABM,  so you could just buy a slip cover to go over it, it would be perfect.

We play metal so naturally it's loud, we were playing a hometown gig a couple of years ago and some blokes walked in mid song, pushed their way through the assembled crowd who had actually come to see us, in this local known rock/metal pub, and went to the bar... 

When we'd finished the song one of them comes over and says, "Turn it down!", I looked at our guitarist and laughed as did he, and replied, "You best f**k off while we play the next song, because your night isn't going to end well if you're still here when we finish it." Job done.

I know Matamp only use the Golden Lion KT88's in the GT200 as they alledgedly had so many failures with the JJ's they used to use. Can't see any harm in going with the Golden Lion's.

Agnostic Front, in Bristol on Nov. 17th.

I saw The Blunders, whose members include a couple of guys I've known for 30-odd years.

They were most enjoyable, you should check them out!

Good band The Blunders, seen them a few times.

I was there too. I didn’t think too much of the sound though. 

I was on Matt Pike’s side and you could barely hear Al. Apart from the phased/wha’d bits that dominated everything.

I didn't think much to be honest, I thought Pike looked a bit, put out, at times. I'm glad I went but I wouldn't go to see them again.

High On Fire on the other hand, I'd go every time.

Sleep, last night in Bristol.

I would say the Roqsolid would be just their basic felt lined waterproof cover at £40, add the foam padding + security flap and vat and there probably won't be anywhere near as much difference in price.

Sleep in a couple of weeks in Bristol.

I'll be giving these freshly arrived oldies a re-listen later, remastered etc...

The new Subhumans album, Crisis Point.
