A really fascinating book

13 years ago today I was in Leicester on my stag to attend Motorhead with Anthrax in support

My memory of the actual night is quite hazy but from what I do recall, both bands were great

While we're here, what is the problem with Megadeth and terrible artwork over the last few decades?

I feel like this is a safe place to post the offending pic

Happy 35th birthday to this fucking glorious bastard of an album. This was my introduction to the band and still my favourite album of theirs

Megadeth - Youthanasia

Hard to believe that this album is 31 years old today. I remember rushing out of school to pick up the cassette and listening to it non stop for ages

Also saw Megadeth for the second time on this tour with CoC opening for them

What a classic album, can't wait to see Udo and chums play it in full in Belfast on Tuesday supporting the mighty Saxon

W.A.S.P. - The Last Command

40 years old today

This was the first album of theirs that I owned and probably my least favourite of their original run of albums. That said, Widowmaker is an underrated classic

Happy 30th birthday to my favourite Bush era Anthrax album

Got it signed by the mighty John Bush when I interviewed him years ago in Belfast

Recorded this especially for you Subs

I thought he was great, he nailed everything

I showed this to Alma and Jack this morning but Alma was more impressed with the girl getting up and crowd surfing and her fashion

I think she found a new role model
