THE THUNDER DOME

[Slammed]

I think the halo would keep falling down and choke me

 

[redfly]

Well then a gold necklace you can pawn.

 

[Slammed]

Oh yeah that's not a bad idea.

[Slammed]

Gee the sound is terrible, you can only hear the drums

[Slammed]

I saw that before, I've never listened to RF, what are they like?

 

[redfly]

I haven't either. Still need to give this a listen.

 

[Slammed]

Give me a review when you have

 

[redfly]

It's not to far off from some of COC's 3 piece stuff. Reed sounds cool.

 

[Slammed]

I might have to look into it when I get some time.

 

[Slammed]

This is the tribute played at Reed's funeral apparently. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet (although I see old footage of Metallica with Cliff at the start)

 

[redfly]

Cool I 'm glad have something for us, I'll have to check it tonight.

[Slammed]

Yeah the poor bastard really copped the rough end of the pineapple. He did some brilliant work in the early years of the band

 

[redfly]

I never heard any of that before.

 

[Slammed]

It wasn't hugely publicised at the time, but it was also a different time. Mental health is in the limelight these days and although it's probably not spoken about enough for some it's spoken about a lot more than it was back in 95. Back then I think the magazines didn't have the space to dedicate to an ex drummer who did nothing musically after leaving the band, therefore byline in the news section saying that he jumped in front of a train was probably enough.

 

[redfly]

Yeah I guess jumping in front of a friggin train is good enough to get people in!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it seems to make news when it happens. My wife's ex boss used to be the guy the train service here called to talk to the drivers who were unlucky enough to hit people. Understandably many a driver was a wreck, some never worked again.

 

[redfly]

I don't doubt it at all, that's really raw.
