I also like Franke Boyle but he came here once years ago and he was dreadful. Loads of people complained.

I very much doubt they are worried about anyone on here's opinions.

Ooh, I like Oban, been there a couple of times... There used to be a great fish & chip shop there. And of course, the distillery.

There are actually three chippys now but I boycott the bottom one as they turned me away years ago saying they were closed. I went out and saw the sign saying open until ten. I went back in and said it's half nine you have a sign saying you are open until ten. Oh that's just in the Summer he said. They had hot stuff still sitting in the hot plates . So I though stuff your chippy and I haven't been back since.

Funny U2 have just come on whilst I'm playing random music on my Mac. I was talking to Mrs Ubit yesterday about this and I was just about to say I am getting a bit sick of hearing....... and she said Stereophonics. Yes I said. She had noticed too that we are hearing too much of them lately in the car. It goes through phases and you hear a band once and then it's all the time. The only way you can halt it is to turn off the phone and start  again.

'Tallica were on the cusp of replacing Lars when Cliff Burton died. They thought it would be too much to recruit a new bassist and drummer at the same time, so he got a reprieve.

 

Cliff's death was a double tragedy.

I don't get where this they were going to get rid of Lars stuff comes from. Metallica were founded by Lars. He is the band leader.

I don't really understand all the binary and non binary stuff and to be honest I don't care 

All I care about is if people are happy and not hurting others it's all good 

And if someone regardless of sexuality or colour is nice to me I'll reciprocate as I really don't care about the colour of the skin or the sexual orientation 

As my mum used to say there's good and bad in all

About 95% of the population will claim to be like this as well. Up until they get annoyed at something.

People wade in heavy hating on Lars, but if you love Kill / Lightning / Puppets, then you have to accept Lars is the driving force behind these - and has done way more right than wrong.

I don't know if you are including me in that. I think Lars is a great drummer and I have no doubt about his talent. I just think on a personal level he's a bit of a knob.

When people of African ancestry use that term it is not an ethnic slur. Obviously it has different connotations if a white guy said it,

a while back I mentioned on a forum on Facebook about the WW2 air war relating to the Dambusters. I mentioned Guy Gibson’s dog in a historical sense. I got a weeks ban. I didn’t mean that word in a racist term so what’s the difference? 

I have always got annoyed when people slagged off Lars Ulrich for his poor drumming. I think he's a good drummer and doesn't deserve this angst he gets but I really think that he must be an annoying little twatt personally. After seeing the movie which was pretty much warts and all, it seems that he is a spoiled rich guy who has to get his way. Hetfield doesn't sound much better. Hammet and Trujillo seemed more down to Earth guys who were heard and not seen if you know what I mean.

All in all I reckon if I met Lars in a pub and he said something sideways I'd chin the wee c***t!

The actual problem was they mixed it in Dobly. Everyone knows you don't do heavy metal in Dobly!

But just listen to that sustain. It keeps on goin' listen.

I have NEVER heard a heavy metal album that didn't benefit from earth shaking bass guitar. I await the replies showing me I'm wrong but I just thought bass was the fundamentals of heavy music. Maybe I have been wrong all these years.

I have met plenty people of African ancestry who still think it is a slur, regardless of who says it - and find people of African ancestry throwing it around as a casual term just as offensive as if a white person did it. 

  I worked in Nigeria for five years and never heard them use that expression apart from the time at the airport when it was directed at me. It’s used exclusively by black rappers and Tarantino.

The more I read that the more I am actually offended by that.

I saw the Macc Lads a few times back in the day. Then the puerile school boy "humour" novelty wore off. I can't believe they're still going...

I'm not offended by them, I just don't see the point.

It was funny in the 80's but as you say, the joke kinda wore off.

I know that. I am just annoyed at the over use of the word by black rappers when it IS an offensive word.

When I think back to my early working life it's incredible. You had to have a thick skin because the "banter" was relentless. I would like to think it made me who I am but there were times that you wanted to curl up and cry. Thankfully that kind of behaviour is now regarded as bullying and is no longer allowed.

Oban, a small town on the West Coast of Scotland. Capercaillie our most famous export. At least the singer and lead musician Karen Mathieson and Donald Shaw
