Storm

Just finished watching the documentary about the storms which england suffered this week 20 years ago.I was in Bristol on the night in question, seeing Onslaught at the granary, and i remember at 12.30 after the gig, walking through the centre of bristol with Jim Hinder and the wind was almost taking us off our feet. Debris was flying down the street and there was even a plastic pig which had been blown into a traffic light whilst trying to turn into the wind at a junction. Back home at the farm that i lived on, we lost the roof of a barn, that comprised of 5 telegraph poles laid horizontally with corrugated steel fixed to it, the whole thing was ripped completely off. I know a lot of you here wont remember them, but who does?

How many times a week were you not at an Onslaught gig during your youth?

Is it you, or someone else, that saw Onslaught like a billion times in the late '80s?

I was only a matter of weeks old, and I'm told I slept right through everything.

Thought this was going to be about Nordavind, the Fenriz/Satyr collaboration album.

Oh, and the storms pretty much passed by where I lived. A few branches down and occasional displaced fence but nothing spectacular.

I was 6 at the time, all I remember is my dad being on night shifts and we had to go to my nans house to play hungry hungry hippo's and mousetrap.

I was 14. We didn't get affected as much up here in Scotland.

Thought it was quite funny Michael Fish trying to defend himself for saying there wasn't going to be a hurricane. He made out that he was referring to one that was supposed to happen in Florida that day!!! :lol:

Catchy as fook Norwegian folk songs given the black metal treatment. What's not to like? My old band used to cover Oppi Fjellet until the bass player changed the title to Abergele and turned it into a song about camping in Wales.
Quite bizarre.
