I may start a new thread called "Is Birmingham the home of metal?" Poll options will be: Most Definitely! Yes but more home of rock than metal. Almost but could be any music really. Define metal, please.

Home of Metal, innit.

More importantly, do you know the Keeper of the meerkats at Dudley Zoo?

Yes! I've nailed my colours to the mast now, I'll argue day is night if you engage 🤣

Pah. Walsall isn't the Black Country.

Some guy on the IM official FB group has just posted a photo of his two dogs who are apparently called Iron and Maiden. I can't stop laughing!

I agree on both points. I didn't even know they had my email address until teasers started landing in my inbox. Although I did buy a band shirt in the merch sale a few weeks back, I am usually quite meticulous unchecking those little boxes where they threaten to spam the living daylights out of you. Anyway, less spam and more Eddie so I am not complaining.

Cheers for that. I didn't even click the video and I've had the song stuck in my head for the last 20 minutes 😆

Bas sold me a Zoom B1-4 multifx. Very fast shipping, well packaged and item as described. Great comms, he is very patient with my questions and answers them fully. Will definitely buy from him again.

I will be Fuhrer one day!!

Wow!! I had this on cassette when I was 15, I taped it off the radio, it must have been Radio 1 .... It was this concert!

You're welcome. I didn't know it was there until someone showed it to me, many bass jams ago. Did you know all YT videos come with a transcript too? If you are ever in need of just one piece of info when Google answers your question with a YT vid and you cba to play it all the way through. Click on the ... (three dots) menu under the video next to the Likes and a drop down menu will show you Open Transcript.

I use the playback speed feature in the gear icon settings at the bottom of the video to slow it down to 75%. If it's complicated or extremely fast then I'll chuck it into Guitar Pro and take it seriously but YT is fine for jamming.

I was all over that shizzle when those albums came out 🤦‍♀️ As opposed as I am to misogynistic, sexist comments, I remain amused by once seeing them referred to as Transvision Tramp. Ouch ...

Ah the Primitives! 😍 I used to love them when I was at school. But I used to love Transvision Vamp back then as well so hardly a yardstick of musical integrity .. <misses point of thread>

What? One of them isn't wearing a cardie? As opposed to the rest of them, who also aren't? 😁

@nige1968 Prefer the Cardiacs to the Cardigans, mate! 😉

Yeah!

Some YT comments are hilarious, whenever I watch a video I always always scroll down and often find a gem 😊

I find genres very subjective. Listening perception and all that biz, ya know?

Come on ..

Disco goodness! 😆 Here we go ...

Did you see that BBC programme over Christmas, they showed lots of footage from broadcast performances of heavy metal, had Budgie and all sorts. It was a real treat to watch. I think it was late on Boxing Day evening, or maybe after they aired Metallica at Glastonbury.. Anyway, it was great, they showed this Priest performance, I'm sure of it.

Powerslave is the last Maiden album you enjoyed?
