Gorgoroth

Yeah other than meeting Janick Gers of Iron maiden, speaking to Trey Azzagoth after Morbid Angels tour in 92/3, Burton C Bell pulling me up on stage when I got stuck trying to get up to stage dive I don’t have a lot of metal stories, hung out with quite a few punk bands over the years.

My go to albums for Rap as Paid in full, PE - takes a nation, NWA -Straight outta, Ice -T - OG, Ice Cube - Lethal Injection, Geto Boys -Til death do us part. Snoops early stuff, Cypress and Warren G’s first lot are always good to throw on too.

That’s insane!!!

Still love holding my vinyl covers and admiring the art work, especially the Iron Maiden covers done by Riggs. Amazing.

To those ever wanting to explore Rap, especially 80/90s I highly recommend Kool G Rap, Erik B and Rakim, Ghetto Boys ontop of the more known artists like Public Enemy, Ice T, NWA, Ice Cube etc

Hate the Beatles. Yes, like Elvis, Queen etc etc they were pioneers but it doesn’t stop me from Wanting to shove skewers in my ears when they come on.

Panthers trade out WR AND RB, tanking right? well they are 21-3 up vs the Buccs and averaging 8.4yrds per carry!!! Crazy! Just bloody crazy!

Lions look like they have scored, get a really bad spot the 1yrd when it at worst should be inches, then fumble on the very next play. Why the [censored] with three time outs down by 4 do you not challenge it or at least take the time to ensure it’s not a score.

Can honestly say I’ve never watched an episode and never want to.

It’s funny you say that, I do not listen to any of those classics you mention above. Except a little Motörhead but I don’t love them. First four Metallica of course are timeless classics. For me as a kid, at 5 my sister introduced me to AC/DC, then Motley Crüe, Billy Idol, (sister is 5 years older)1984 comes along and Metallica drop Ride the Lightening, I’m hooked, Slayers Reign in blood in 86, then the death metal Grincore got really going and there was no going back. Over the teenage years I got into punk and early rap before moving onto 50-60’s Jamaican Reggae and northern soul. which of course brings you into the mod scene and the Who as @Sir Why You Little mentions above. A lot of great music out there it’s all down to what your ears like! 😁

Bella Nipotina was never going to lose, I had a fair day, missed by a nostril on either oar and decided not to use a bonus bet on my blackbooked horse (like to use some bonus bets on roughies)in promise of success…. And it ran a cracking race.

Thunderstruck once again was on the charge but just 10 meters too late

Kampfar I mention multiple times, one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I have their new album on pre order, can’t wait for it. One of my prize possessions is Live after death original Australian pressing and it’s in mint condition! Strigoi are awesome, saw them at Brutal Assault this year. Gaerea’s new album is great, the new Goatwhore and Watain are also amazing. Hulder EP is also amazing.

Oh man that would have ruled! Tell stories!!!

So you can’t bet on the stakes now and the last has been scratched on Sportsbet

Wacken is 100k, way too many people. BA is 20k and perfect. Czech republic is one of the best countries I’ve ever been too and I’ve been there multiple times, spent 4 weeks there this year, great food, great beers, amazing scenery and walks/ wildlife. I’d happily live there. Check out Behemoths the satanist, it’s a masterpiece.

Seen behemoth multiple times, but when they toured the satanist (their best album for me) and he had just beaten cancer that was one of the greatest gigs I’ve ever seen. Saw Kampfar who are one of my fav bands live at Brutal assault in 2019 and they had their equipment and luggage sent to a different country so played with borrowed instruments and no stage equipment and to this day it’s in the top 3 shows I’ve ever seen, it was so good, my wife and I didn’t speak for about 2-3mins after the gig had ended and we were heading to the next stage, but kept looking at each other mesmerised.

Sounds like a perfect night!

Both songs killer, but trying to add some diversity. Mayhem I don’t mind but never loved, seen them 4 times now and it’s good, but I don’t know, something doesn’t click. But fully acknowledge they started the second wave pretty much, I mean rotting christ were around in 89 and others but it was really mayhem who gave the sound/ riff style and look. I was going to add Agalloch, also Audn is one I love soooooooo much, then you add Behemoth, Taake, Avslut, Windir, Batushka, Wayfinder, tsjuder, Craft, Weigedood, Gaerea, 1349, Asagraum, Necrophobic, blackbraid, Zuriaake, Nordjevel, 1914, Winterfylleth, Dissection and I go on and on and on. 😂

No Motörhead as I was listing Black metal bands only and Motörhead are far from Black metal 😬 Ill check them out. Not heard them but always happy to try.

Niners sign McCaffrey, cheap this year, 12mil next year. Surprised a bit by this as it takes away the role Deebo plays very very well.

Napalm Death’s Harmony Corruption is a masterpiece, I have that and all Carcass albums on vinyl except surgical steel. Love Carcass, one of my favs. Playing some Bolt Thrower now. I listen to heaps of black metal but love everything from Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, W.A.S.P, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament, Kreator, Entombed, Morgoth, ie I don’t care the genre if it’s awesome I’ll listen to it.

Well I brew it at home…

Lovin it, Friday night with the wife is a few brews and vinyl playing, as recommended I have on Wolves In the Throne Room - Two hunters which contains the song I will lay down my bones amongst the rock and roots. 🤘🏻

Will hopefully be watching each race tomorrow. Not a big fan of moonee Valley in general, but no idea how much rain will happen between now and race 1 let alone the plate.
