Hysteria I think.
I've been spinning Adrenalize non-stop lately. Although some of the rockier tracks really seem to be lacking, that album has some of their best songs ever in "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad", "Tonight" and "Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion)"! I've been addicted to them lately for some reason!
 
Yeah "White Lightning" rocks! Great song!

Shame about "Heaven Is".... :lol: Used to hate Personal Property but its actually playing now and its been growing on me. Make Love Like A Man and I Wanna Touch U rock :) Heaven Is is probably the only song i don't like on it anymore.
 
I have to agree with Spiffo about Utopia... years ago it really was a specialist metal store but now there's so much stuff there it's just a big CD retailer. The Euphoria department is pointless considering the mainstream is already so well served by HMV and Sanity and Dymocks and Red Eye have a better DVD department. One of the guys from Red Eye was telling me recently he's worried what will happen to them when JB opens up in the CBD at the end of the year because they carry everything that they and Utopia do, but sell it for much less. I think Utopia will survive, but they'll probably end up going back to specialising in imports and rarities, plus they're in the middle of the entertainment strip. There's always a lot of people there, but a lot of them just use it as a hang out and actually buy very little.

The singer from Krokus sounds like Bon Scott.
Marc Storace if my memory serves me right .........."Long Stick Goes Boom" el at all reused AC/DC riffs but I love it........Harder than a swiss franc to quote Andrew Peters off Rock Area circa 1983/84..........
 
I went to the Grand Final, Mrs Gorey. Went walkies on Friday afternoon (around 5:30pm) looking for Utopia - unfortunately, I was at the opposite end of George St and hadn't been to Sydney since 1997 and got all worried, thought that the street may have received a huge makeover in the last 6 years because I didn't recognise ANY of it. So after fifteen minutes or so I got sick of walking around (it was cold, and I was wearing a t-shirt because we had normal weather up in Brisbane) and went back to my hotel (the All Seasons Menzies on Carrington St, right across the street from Wynyard Station). So I didn't go to No Life til Leather - couldn't remember where it was anyway. :)

I did touristy stuff on Saturday (went up to Centrepoint tower thingy, went to Utopia, had some NASTY KFC, went on a 2.5 hour harbour cruise, did lots of walking) and then the GF on Sunday. Caught the ferry/boat thing to Homebush Bay and then the connecting bus, and then took the train back to the city after the game (after walking around for half an hour trying to find the bus back to the ferry - turns out they didn't have them for going back, which they could have told me in the first place, especially when I asked the bus driver where the bus would leave from in the evening).

That's it in a very small nutshell, anyway.
 
Nothing 'wrong' with it. I just never found anything on it that could keep my attention for long. Day Of Reckoning is a good song though. :)

Yes the ferries don't run at night, what with it being dark and all...
