Masterplan with Jorn Lande, I was gutted when he left the band. I'll be seeing them when they support Saxon

I actually agree there. It's the most overplayed Pantera song in any rock/metal club ever. They've got way better songs than that.

Pantera...

I actually had tickets to see Pantera at the Tattoo the Planet indoor festival at Birmingham, BUT fucking September 11th happened and Pantera, Sepultura and a few other bands pulled out because of it. Dirty terrorists made me miss my favourite band ... At least Slayer didn't pull out though.

Same thing happened to me. I was well pissed because Pantera were my favourite band at the time and having RATM split on me before seeing them meant it was the second time I had recieved a gigantic fuck-off slap in the face.

People who have never enjoyed Pantera are odd. Walk is a very sub-par song. But Regular People and By Demons be Driven have some fucking great guitar parts. Granted, they are overrated and very neanderthal, but that is/was part of their beauty. At least they had the songs to back it u.

Superjoint can FOAD though. Shit, shit band.

Suckers! I saw Pantera in 94' at Brixton Academy, sick as fuck gig though if i remeber rightly a band called Downset supported and they were fucking lame rap-metal.

Band i'd love to have seen back in the day would be Vio-lence.

Would have liked to see a classic 70s gig by the sex pistols, or GBH or Discharge when they were good!

I saw Discharge fairly recently and it was watchable. On the whole it was pretty cool, I mean with their songs it would be hard to fuck up. Still, it should have been much cooler than it was. Also, I haven't heard the new EP. Was it as shit as it was rumoured to be?

I have the latest DISCHARGE EP and once you get over the feeling that it's the VARUKERS doing DISCHARGE covers it's pretty good.
I saw GBH a couple of times in the early 80's, my first gig was the Manchester gig on GBH's "City Baby Attacked By Rats" tour - BLITZ played as well . Brilliant live...

Well once we move out of Thrash, this game becomes much bigger. Two that immediately come to mind are Biafra in DKs and Rollins-era Black Flag. Circle Jerks would be awesome too.

Saw the Dead Kennedys with Biafa twice - once on the Fresh Fruit tour at Blackburn King George's and then on the "In God We Trust" tour at some place in Manchester that was very dingy with pool tables in the back. Can't remember what that place was called - if I remember rightly it looked like some kind of converted church or something.
Saw a lot of old punk bands back in the late 70's - Clash, Jam, UK Subs, Anti Pasti, Discharge, GBH, Blondie, Buzzcocks, Joy Division (shite gig), the Fall etc.
Never saw the Pistols the first time round though - I remember one of my mates went to Manchester with some lads he knew to see the Pistols and when they got there the gig had been cancelled. How we laughed.
