why?:|

thom do you like elvis presley or do you love it or hate it?:)or:(

are you well :)

Hello Thom

Oh well in that case my mum will definatly go. I'll see if i can get to Magnum :)

Ahh yea when is Magnum? I would like to go to the Quo gig, but its a festival isn't it? I have tickets for Big Country, Show of Hands and COB/Amon Amarth/Ensiferum.

I am good thanks, What you been upto? I see your going to the Hardcore Superstar gig. Unfortunatly thats the same day i'm seeing Sonata Arctica in London....Damn!

Long time no see. How are you?

Wow, how awesome is ABIII? Although there's not a single song that is up there with Blackbird the whole album just oozes 'rock'. Definitely an album to listen to in one go rather than cherry pick songs. Wish they were touring near us again :(

Ha, not heard it yet. I was a bit gutted about the separate tracks too, as you say the quality of that 'mixed' version is terrible and it would have been nice to have a decent version. Having two mixes of the same song is a bit ridiculous. Haven't given ABIII a spin yet, too addicted to the Social Network soundtrack.

My Darkest Days and Alter Bridge albums are out.

Good shout out on this BCC, was expecting it to be as forgetful as Chickenfoot's debut which didn't really grab me but this is catchy. You can hear Joe's influence all over it, wicked guitar tone too. Cheers for the heads up.

No, not heard of BCC. That bonamassa chap gets atoned doesn't he? Will give it a whirl. Thanks. Social Network samp,er is good, very Ghosts era NIN.

Tell me about it. Biffy played on the Saturday.

White Rabbit - listenable. The Big Pink - dodgy one hit wonders and Lily Allen w/ Professor Green. :gag: :( Bad supports. Band of Skulls played Manchester *gutted*

Bloody awesome, I could have done without the support acts though. My first time at wembley stadium. Wow what a place. Setlist was better on the second night though :( typical.

Jury is still out on the new Stone Sour effort. Seems a bit of a chore :(. Love, love love Crazy Horse by BLS though, what a stomping guitar choooon.

BLS or My Darkest Days? Don't think MDD one is out yet. Good track though.

Heard the single just not had time to give the album a whirl yet. You heard zakk's contribution to A band called My Darkest Days? The single is called 'porn star dancing'. Unmistakable ' Zakk' guitar sound.

I did get your text about being on Xbox Live, I will add your roomy when i'm next on. You getting into Guitar Hero then?

Slade? Oh dears. I tried finding his debut album (Taylor's not Slade :D ) ages ago but couldn't. Does Mr. Grohl pop up anywhere?

What's Taylor Hawkins' new tunes like?

I'm liking Mr. Bonamassa's newest effort more than his last, particularly Quaryyman's Lament. Top track. I liked his list of things to avoid in his sleeve notes - Peter Andre albums :-D

Certainly is, I didn't realise they were from Southampton, they've got a southern texas type vibe to 'em.

As if you got RATM tix, jammy get!

Yeah, I wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair. Bet you'll be moshing to that :D I bet Bonamassa will be amazing., Have you got his Live at Albert Hall DVD? Looks ace

Wow, sounds immense. Cheers for the update. Really gutted i missed it but i'm so skint at the mo :( Don't suppose you got a setlist for what they played?

And now Rise Against, who are you and what have you done with Thom??? lol

Oh no you didnt?!? You enjoyed that gig and you know you did!!!!

Billy Talent???

Top album, it's perhaps not as brilliant as i was expecting but there's still some choice songs on there. Gunman is my fave, that has an awesome guitar riff to it, you can't help but bop your head. Love it :D. What say you?

Depends on money at the mo. Would love to though, if i do i'll let you know, be good to meet up again.

Jammy git, was it typical rock star debauchery back stage or more tea and scrabble? Loving the new FFDP, Canto 34 is cheesily epic.

Liking what i've heard so far, only stuck the last half of the album on for taster. Will give it a proper listen in the car this week. Was it a good gig then? You went backstage or sommat?l

Good to see your top artist of the last 7 days ;)

yeah i know - gutted to mis DL, and SP. bought my ticket last year right after the greatest reading fest ever. turned out to be a mistake but hey ho - sure i'll enjoy the lock up

hehe, i'm good ta mate, you going to reading? even if the lineup is shite!!!

Thom you big gay bear - how the devil are you?

Yo, you may already know this but I have been listening to a band called H-Blockx, If you have never heard any of there stuff I strongly suggest you give them a go!

There's a really old tune called Machine Gun Man which i think is something recorded pre-BLS and some acoustic versions of songs at the end. Album's called Skullage. You may have most of the songs already, I do, but as a collection of hard and soft rock songs I think it's a good album.

You liking Hollywood Undead? New Black Label Society Best Of has a decent set of songs.

Nope, not heard Manics yet. I liked their last album so hopefully more of the same.

BTW, you heard any Chickenfoot? Could be interesting http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a150723/rock-supergroup-releases-debut-album.html

Yeah, not entirely sure about any of it tbh. Maybe it's a grower but the only track that stood out is ...back 2 the lotus. Oh and Here Eye Come which conjures up all sorts of mental images :D

Natalie's a vicious bitch!

I see you've been caning Lonely Island. Any other favourites?

Play something Sax Man!

Have you heard Sax Man by The Lonely Island feat. Jack Black? Tis funny as ...

New Frusciante album?

Your spelling is far too good for you to be half cut. Have a good night then?
