Who says this mouse is dead

I and my buddies were there. Was awesome if absolutely mental. Did quite a lot of outdoor events in those days. Homelands was a classic.

Lucky fucker 🤪

I built the big tents at homelands one year and after the festival someone found a police amnesty box it was insane !! Police just left it in the middle of the field with stuff to be picked up by someone… the site team had the maddest night ever lol

He did a Beach Tour around the country shortly after and I got to see him at Northumbria Uni back in my student days. Will try and have a watch.

We also had Tiesto play Newcastle Uni. Crazy small venue for such a big dj.

Hasn't Tiesto gone shite since he ditched Trance? Got loads of his stuff on vinyl

Anyone got a link for this doc?

Went to one of his beach parties in Portrush, I can’t remember the year because it spent my 20s e’d out of my gourd but I suspect probably around this timeframe
Awesome night some guy gave me his shoes wouldn’t take no for an answer 🤯

🤣🤣🤣 I love hearing old clubbing tales one of my mates gave a homeless guy £20 his shoes some pills and a bag of weed after a rave

I've got it recorded to watch. I loved the album.

New Order, cant tell whats new/old/remix or Alzheimers.

Tangerine Dream even more of this

Le Sony'r Ra * SUN RA *
He has many names
He works on the other side of time

Tom Waits. My all time favourite artist. Been putting stuff out for 50 years and never made a dud album IMO. And none of them sound dated.

Man, I love Tom Waits. What an artist.

MJ brotha’, they dont call him the king for nothin!’.

successfully engineered to be exactly this

this

Depends on your POV I guess.
Not Madonna that’s for sure 👀Damon Albarn. Jamiroquai. Guns N Roses. AC/DC. Think tracks from all of those and many more still sound fresh today.

😊

Deftones, Tool and Pantera all day long 💯❤️

I'll second that,deftones tool pantera to name a few,90s and 2000s metal/rock for me 🤘

The 90s had such amazing metal bands. So many genres were exploding and were so exciting. Wasn’t so keen on that rap metal mind. I loved RATM but the ones that followed like Limp Bizkit were pretty dumb.

Preach bro 💯

Sorry dude didn’t mean to offend anyone. Just didn’t personally like Limp Bizkit. Sorry.

Oh no man I’m with you on the LB thing bro, loved Korn though 😎

Oh sorry man I thought you meant I was preaching to you. Yeah I loved the first Korn album hated the 2nd but loved the 3rd album. Stopped following them after that but still like the odd track after the 3rd album. Alone I break is an awesome track.

I remember seeing Pantera at the Ozzfest back in 98. Amazing set and a wild pit not as crazy as the Soulfly pit a set later that was insane. Love early Deftones up to the White Pony album.

yes but thrash, osdm, 1st wave black metal and the list goes on. So quite a different list but yeah I'm a metalhead

Celtic Frost are probably my fave out of the 1st wave black metal bands. Did you not get on with the 2nd wave of black metal? There are some great bands.

No I do just lower down on my list. Celtic frost absolutely genius band although there was a time they were called death metal

Or even avant-garde?

Meshuggah, Sikth, CB Murdoc, all for if you like something properly, properly heavy.

Alcest is love :D

Alcest is true love. I finally see them in October!! Yippee!!!

Dimmu borgir , Old mans child and dissection for me M8 .... Ave satanas

Early Dimmu Borgir for me mate. First 2 albums are great(even the ripped off track on the 2nd album) went off them when they expanded their sound.

does screamo count

Of course Screamo counts man! Love myself a bit of Mice&Men and Bring Me The Horizon. Not sure if they’re Screamo bands?

Fucking love Slayer. Almost find it romantic.

That is the best comment I’ve read. Ever!! It’s fucking brilliant mate!!!🤘

I go a lot of gigs and download/bloodstock festival. Some of the best music to have a smoke to.

Always wanted to check Bloodstock out. What’s the crowd like? Friendly?

Yeah probably the most community, friendly festival I’ve been to. Really chilled and there’s not too many people like major festivals.

NWOBHM or?

What do you mean dude?

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

I’m old but not that old!!! Lol. Do love my Maiden though!!

Must be more then a few metalheads here on LB for sure.

Right now I'm waiting for the re-recording by the Calavera brother's of the Morbid Visions record. Absolutely can't bloody wait for that! Artwork is on point and the sound, my goodness.

But otherwise, been on a death metal vibe recently - the new 200 Stab Wounds EP and the new Kruelty record basically.

Tonight I've been listening to Cult of Luna and Boris. Last night it was Lamp of Murmuur and Fluisteraars. I'm in my 50s. Metal seems to make more sense the older I get but then the type of metal I listen to now is different from the metal I listened to at 16. Except for Sabbath. Always Sabbath 🤘Music just keeps on getting better.

Absolutely love Cult Of Luna their Salvation album was incredible! Can’t remember if it was their debut? Give Panoption a listen man especially there again into the light album it is pure genius. Austin Lunn plays over a dozen instruments on the album. Can’t wait to see them next month on their first ever UK tour. Always Iron Maiden for me mate though I do obviously love Sabbath.

Oh yeah I love Panopticon too. I was listening to And Again... last night. Also Botanist and Wolves In The Throne Room, sheer sheets of metallic sound, hypnotic riffs it's damn psychedelic as a genre in many ways. Also into stuff like Thou and Primitive Man, I was listening to the last Wormrot album the other day. There's just so much good stuff and such massive variety that it's impossible to not like something that's "metal" if you're into music. If anyone avoids metal they should take a deep dive into all the sub genres cos they'd be surprised at how much they would probably love. From Sunn O))) to Full of Hell and all the stops in between.

I'm wearing a Primitive Man t-shirt at the moment.

Brilliant. I've got my Sleep Dopesmoker one on 🤘

Got my Alcest tee on and had my Emperor one on yesterday! Lol.

They’re ..again into the light album is so good. I found it very accessible compared to their earlier stuff. Still really enjoy their early folk metal inspired stuff. Kentucky is fantastic. I was lucky enough to see Wolves In The Throne Room a few years back. Beautiful gig. It was bombastic and majestic all at once. 🤘

I saw Panopticon a few years back over in Dutchie land, enjoyed them but haven't paid much attention to them since.Do you like Wayfarer? They do a similar type of thing kinda country tinged BM.

Really like Wayfarer too and a Scottish band called Saor. They play a similar style to Panopticon. Can’t wait to see them live,I’ve waited years for them to visit the UK. Gotta travel a few hundred miles but it will deffo be worth it. Much love.

Saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour. It was one of my first gigs. Christ I'm so fuckin old.

Would love to of saw peak Maiden.

The Boris/Uniform album sounds like it's going to be a good un.

Dad got me into metal with sabbath i have to agree nearly 40 now .... So many metal genres would not exist without them ..

Yeah Sabbath are definitely the godfathers of metal. Without them half the genres today wouldn’t exist.

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the comatarium

Cypress hill - Black Sunday

Cypress hill good shout

Deffo. Had this on release back in early 90s, great disc.

Mars volta... What a fucking band!!!

Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

In my top 5 Hip Hop LPs for sure. Love that lo-fi, scuzzy sound! 👌🙌

Peace peace

Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"

Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

ok computer

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Nas and Damien Marley - Distant Relatives

Damien Marley first album 🔥

I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

Some absolute works of art here.

Roni size - new forms
Massive attack - blue lines

finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.

Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism

Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.

Got few hours in car tomorrow think I'm gonna blast it myself been a good while

Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.

I last saw them around 2008 at Manchester arena invaders must die tour. Awesome gig. 😛

dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)

Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...

Some really nice choices there but I'm afraid that I can't see past Raindogs.
Cheers G

Fantastic LP.

The best Waits' in a catalogue where the bar is astonishingly high.

1. Aphex Twin - selected ambient works
2. TLC - Crazy, sexy, cool

Tribe Called Quest - Low-End Theory

De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Beastie Boys - ill Communication

What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.

Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

The Baby Huey story The living legend and Radiohead The bends.

The Bends is one of the finest albums ever made in my opinion.

Baby Huey good shout crate diggers classic love it

1st. Chase & Status - More than a lot (2008)
2nd. Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap (2018)

The jam All mod cons
Nwa straight outta compton

Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.

The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.

Kaleo - A/B
Audioslave - audioslave
Dre - 2001
Linden park - meteora

Yes Dre 2001 epic at the time

The doors,LA woman
The complete stone roses
And many many more.

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Bowie - Low

Both as fresh today as ever

I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well

Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy

System of a down - toxicity

The Streets - Original pirate material

Ohhh tough probably Floyd dark side of the moon and the doors soft parade

+1 for dark side of the moon, and wish you were here.

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

Up Cornwall Emmets out!! ;)

Lol, Emmet ground zero here! Happy campers can feck orf!

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of the Moon.
L'Entourloop - Chickens In Your Town.

Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!

Its bloody awesome 👌

Once discovered, it's a beautiful thing. Enjoy!

Dub Side is great, but the Radiodread is awful!

I completely agree. They massacred it.

Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷‍♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

I think 2001 is the last time I listened to an album :)

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
The Roots - Undun

Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Massive Attack- Blue Lines

I think my 2 are

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire

Showing my age ;)

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
