Mat-Hocking

..

...with a friend - we were arguing, quite intensely, about whether or not it was Fallout Boy or McFly. (I: FOB / he: Mcfly) until it stopped..

"And that was the latest single to be taken from Panic at the Disco's album..."

WTF???

twas on telly t'other day too. Not a bad actor really.

Now THAT's an album I'd like to see played in full!

..a London cabbie??

I believe there were around 50 deloreans used in the back to the future films, one of which I've physically touched with my own hands at the Keswick Motor Museum! OMG!

...to see the Swarm! If their live show is anywhere near as choatic as their CD I'm definately taking a crash helmet!

the national singles chart at Number 27!

"aiden, hawthorne heights - those cds should come with a handgun. Anyone who buys those cds should shoot themselves for purchasing it."

Hear hear.

Roll on May 1st!

stil have a demo of theirs somewhere.

Mr grinning chimpanzee one has lost almost all its minty fragrance.

"DiS secretly wishes for an Intense Dudes reformation"

Mat openly hopes for a Red in Sophie Loren reformation!

I actually, mentally checked the date to see whether this was an early april fools joke!

Alas not. Surely Bullet aren't even worthy enough to play the festival AT ALL.

I'll give it a name. 'Shit'.

Apart from Taint.

And why so many US bands - it's in fucking england isn't it! Johnny Phillips you disappoint me.

'K' is ace. In fact, I'm gonna go listen to it now - on cassette! Proper OLD SKOOL, like.

...I was there too. I have however no memory of this.

..being owned by Universal. Can't really be arsed to check, but I do know that The Roadrunner Group, to give them their corporate title, do own several highly commercial pop labels in Europe. Music Week reported their turnover a couple of years ago to be around $152m.

Read into that what you will, but they are going to expand their European metal roster considerably over the next few years.

To me, Roadrunner was at it's zenith in the early to mid 90s - all the old thrash stuff like Suffocation, EARLY Sepultura as well as the classic Fear Factory and Machine Head releases right through to Madball, Vision of Disorder, Biohazard, Earth Crisis, Life of Agony and even Junkie XL...

Once a truly innovative label, now vast becoming the BMG of metal?
