    Remember Katagory V? We're back (sort of), and we need your help!

    That's a habit I think we've all got into. ;) Sorry it's taken me so long to be able to throw down, but done. I wish I had more to give, and due to difficult personal circumstances I've not been sure if I could do it at all until now. I just hope a bunch of others have just been in the same...

    Name change

    Thanks, I think! Never had anyone comment on it like that before... ;)

    Iron Maiden: The Final Frontier

    I was severely concerned after listening to the El Dorado preview and the title track video... but honestly I'm now surprised to find I like both in the context of the album as a whole. It's not perfect, but it's a really solid album as a whole, and it's definitely a grower. After the...

    Name change

    Most do, and the avatar just confirms it. ;) I always loved the mental image of Jazz in car mode, as his G1 description put it, "cruising down Bourbon Street in New Orleans or [being] double parked outside a cellar club in Greenwich Village soaking up the local sounds if he weren't in the middle...

    Name change

    Nothing crazy, just ditching an old (and these days largely irrelevant) handle. I hadn't used it anywhere else since 2003 at least; I left some forums around then and was already joining a handful of new ones, and went by Jazz or some variant of it (the MX5 part comes from the Mazda Miata I used...

    New Maiden Single

    Judgemental much? Glad you like it, knock yourself out. I think it's their weakest single since The Angel and the Gambler.

    Thanks Al! Much love, brother. I'm gonna make a concerted effort to hang around UM at least a little more! I've been very neglectful of late.

    New Maiden Single

    The last time I saw The Iron Maidens, Rainmaker was the only post-SIT song in their set (IIRC). It's slightly jarring when you consider the chronology, but it actually fit rather well.

    New Maiden Single

    Crash ending at the end... and at the start. Heart's Barracuda riff, seriously? Irritating pronunciations by Bruce... "storeh", "gloreh" and "dev-ILL", for examples. Too many godawful, and predictable, filler lines in the lyrics. Actually, Bruce sounds like a gentle parody of himself... reminds...

    Name change

    The name Ruined Luna is finally dead and buried. I'm still me, though. :wave:

    Because it needs to be acknowledged here, too...R.I.P. RJD

    Beautifully put. I only got to see him live once - when he swung by SLC with Dio supporting Deep Purple and the Scorpions. That was a hell of a line-up, doubly so for singers. I'm glad I made it to that one. He once said (remembering from an old interview here) that he was proud that he'd...

    Drummer/co-founder Matt Suiter leaves Katagory V

    :( is right.

    Another show, another tired trip back home

    Well, that'll teach me to not pay attention. :cry:
