Off Topic Top 5 Bands

Slipknot oh yes! Joey Jordison best drummer in a LONG time

 

Now we're talking Overseas, brilliant band. Cinerama and The Ukranians fab too. Playing "I'm From Further North Than You" as i'm typing this.

 

This thread HAS to put the myth to bed that all Geordies are thick Charves!

 

Thick charvas can't read or write let alone use a computer. Newcastle has always been a rock city historically, its just the fantastic club scene here that has made dance and pop more popular, not necessarily a bad thing coz at least you can dance to that stuff.

 

The only band EVER to mix rock,funk and carnival music and various samples in to one song and make the lyrics totaly messed up, awesome stuff.

Seen Mike Pattern loads of times with Faith No More another classic top 5 band

 

Have to agree on that one, close fight with Dave Lombardo of Slayer.

Best gig EVER was Metallica headlining Download, Lars Ulrich was sick so Joey (Slipknot), Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and the drum Tech for Lars all filled in. They played all the old stuff from the black album and earlier was ****in awesome. Half the crowd didn't have a clue what the songs were

 

He has done an Italian themed album called Mondo Cane which is totally different to what he normally does but his vocal skills are on display! (Good for sexytimes with the Mrs too haha)

 

Heard after that Joey was sitting with the Tallica guys and he was that good Lars walked over and said 'Should i bother coming back?' You know your good when LARS ULRICH says that!

Best gig i ever saw was Slipknot at download 2009, absolutely amazing set!!

 

you know what, Metallica were the 1st band to get me into metal when i was 11 (18 years ago **** me!!) and they remain the only band i like that i have NEVER seen live. How bad is that!?!?! Sounds like a good gig tho BR

 

I never rated Lars Ulrich as a drummer OR a person haha Joey would kick his ass in a drum off anytime!

 

I was there, it was class. Hefield and even Kirk (!) said they were struggling to keep up with Lombardo during Battery.

 

Class

Not sure if it was 2009 or 2008 at download I saw Slipknot but it was a killer show, first time I saw them was there first uk tour supporting the self titled album at RockCity in Nottingham

****in awesome 9 guys on a small stage in a venue with a 1500 - 2000 capacity

 

I've been into Metallica since 1986 - Master of Puppets to me still their best album I'd have 12-13 years old

 

I downloaded the live Download gig off of Metallica live, still listen to it now. Awesome to think I was there for such a one off gig.

 

ehhhhh bit late to this thread and after reading most of it, have to agree with Blacker-than-knight with his choices adding Iron maiden to the list
Rush - best band in the world still touring coming to the arena in May - got my tickets

 

Rush?!?!?!?! Best Band in the world?!?!?! Each to their own Hung!

 

My five would have to be:

Stereophonics
Oasis
The Streets
Travis(first 2 albums)
Ocean Colour Scene

 

comes third in the most albums sold catagory behind the Beatles and the Stones

not many of yer bands last for over three hours during a gig
