Are you mad?

[kingandy]

No, just bored.

There are better alternatives. For example, you could stab out your eyes with forks or perforate your ear drums with sharp pencils. Pehaps you could take a cheese greater to your knob or conduct scientific experiments to find out exactly what is better than a kick in the teeth.

[kingandy]

Well, I was fishing for alternatives, but I think I'll give those particular ones a miss...

Lee will be drunk, and you can run interference from his stalker!

PS could you overide the central heating *now* so there is hot water for my lightning shower before heading out again.

[kingandy]

Done.

Might be going to see a film, but not sure yet what film / when / where. Will keep you posted if plans develop further

A whole world of rock. How can you resist it?

[squidboy3-16.livejournal.com]

They call it rock, but it's probably just this nu-metal rubbish. We had real rock when I were a lad. You ask the kids today about Man O'War or Wolfsbane and they just look at you like you were mad.

Weren't Man O'War tied into Games Workshop somehow?

[samharber.livejournal.com]

Nah... Games Workshop never supported LARP.

Bolt Thrower, that's who I was thinking of.

Wolfsbane are overated. The singer was swigging iced tea from his jack daniels bottle.
The band I used to roadie for supported them in the late 80's either in Tamworth Rugby Club or Eddies No.8

RockWorld (aka Jillys) is best described as 300 16 year olds angsting at each other, 50 old rockers despising everyone else for selling out, and about 100 early 20's nu-metalers stomping away on the dancefloor.
Oh.. nearly forgot, 20 or so punks, goths and new romantics listening to proper music in the Goldfish Bowl.

So... just like Eddies as I remember.

And me. I don't fit it any of those categories! :p

Bolt Thrower were signed to warhammer records for a while, but they didn't go a low as D-Rok (1990), who even had songs about Chaos Space Marines and Genestealers and all sorts.

Funny thing was they even had Brian May play on one track.

And I've got the album somewhere.

And was listening to it will doing the dishes this morning.

I believe Sabbat were the first ever GW supported band, having a 7" flexi included in an issue of white dwarf. The song was called Blood For The Blood God.
This was before 40k came out.

[kingandy]

7" flexi? Impressive.
