Really? I thought "Heaven's a lie" and "When a dead man walks" were the highlights of the evening. A bit disappointed not to get any of the older material (e.g., "Cold" or "To myself I turned"), and it was a pretty short set, but a good night out nonetheless. Probably the best I've seen them since their gig at the Borderline in 2000. I was impressed with Poison Black, too, although Passenger and Moonspell were both pretty grim.MentaLee said:
Have they? I hadn't noticed. I used to listen to them every day religiously, until they stopped broadcasting in a format that I could hear (they switched from Real Audio to Windows Media). But they also moved Charlie Andrews from 3 hours every afternoon to a slot in the early hours of the morning, and now he's apparently gone altogether. Ho hum... If I could still listen to them, I might be bothered. But if they want to alienate their audience, I guess that's their problem.chazzyf said:- Totalrock having problems, losing its best DJs and going off sky
That was an improvement as far as I was concernedTet said:
I don't think that they wanted to alienate their audience, its just that a general lack of funds has meant that they have been unable to continue to provide the same excellent level of service. If you have a spare couple of million, you could perhaps help get them back on track
Yep, must admit I was disappointed by the lack of material from their first two releases, but hey twas still a damn good setlist. I guess highlights are very subjectional, but whilst both songs you mentioned were mighty fine, as Cold Heritage is my fave song of theirs anyway, it gets my vote!! Whilst I love the metal aspect of LC, I seem to prefer the stuff like Cold Heritage, The Ghost Woman and the Hunter, Falling (Again) etc (nothing against Andrea though!!!) Also, don't you reckon the only reason Heaven's a Lie went down so well as it's the one song everyone knew........I know I clocked a few blank faces when they played Halflife and the Unleashed Memories stuff!!Tet said:
That's extreemly creditable that you've only missed 3 bands out of 38 gigs - Amazing!Tet said:Bah! You're making me feel inadequate now. Counting up, I made 108 individual performances at 38 gigs this year. I missed three support bands over the year, which would have made it up to 111. Must try harder next year
I suspect there may be an element of that, although from where I was stood (pretty much at the barrier, directly in front of Andrea), everyone seemed to know the Unleashed Memories material as well. It certainly helps that "Heaven's a lie" is not only their current single, but also probably the strongest track from Comalies.MentaLee said:
You really shouldn't have missed Falconer. Hailing the band with Eagle, Dragonmaiden and Lydian Lady was one of the highlights of the year, and they completely blew Dream Evil away. Definitely a band to see again next time they come around (like Bloodstock, f'rinstancechazzyf said:
Poison Black were also worth seeing. Not outstanding, but OK. I've been hovering around the 35-40 gig mark for the last few years. Seems to be a comfortable number. Not too many, and not too few. The bands I saw multiple times this year were:
