Fri 12 Jun – Download Festival 2009

My first ever festival, something that i have waited a long time for. Firstly big thanks to everyone there who made it so enjoyable, had such a fantastic time. So, who did i see and how good were they too me? I have rated bands on how much i enjoyed them:

Hollywood Undead - Insane Clown Posse are so much better, they performed quite well but the crowd wasn't really feeling it. Sorry Tim! - 4/10

The Blackout - When i first saw them walk on i thought oh dear god. Vocals weren't…

Finally got to that illusive 100,000! Haven't before noted down my milestones but heres my 100,000th track!:

Porcupine Tree - My Ashes

Luck decided it was that, give it a listen really great song. Next milestone i will be hoping for Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater, favourite song, give that a listen too if you haven't heard it before!

*Iron Maiden 2nd July Soon!*

My Ashes
Act II: Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On

Mon 28 Jan – Linkin Park, Biffy Clyro

Probably the most hyped band on planet. An audience so diverse it was crazy, metalheads behind me, footballers wives in front, most diverse crowd i have ever been in. But after tonight anyone there knows its not just hype.

We got there just as Biffy Clyro began their set. I really enjoyed their latest album, but their set was slightly disapointing for me. Apart from 2-3 really well performed songs the rest seemed muddled, and the crowd really wern't being warmed up at all, rather going to get a beer before Linkin…

Well, seeing Linkin Park at the O2 Dome on the 28th January, really can't wait. Saw this possible setlist, looks really good in my opinion. Will post up what they play in due course after the gig:

My favourites…

Found this album on an import site and thought hell why not. I had heard one of their songs before, it was quite good and am always open to new music so i got it. After listening to the album over and over i have made my decision on it…. Its Ok. Yes that dreaded word. Some of the songs are excellent, The Diary Of Jane, Evil Angel & Dance With The Devil. However i think the album as a whole is somewhat repetitive, i mean yes its a great style of rock, but hearing the same…

Yay, i actually have a blog now for all who are interested. Now this is my first blog for well about 2 years??? Well, enjoy, should keep it up to date-ish

Made it today, my first attempt, released 2 versions, first has a lame left line which i didnt know it had, second version is the finished version. Named Shinn1Song. If you would like to use it you are welcome :)

Well Christmas has been and gone. So i thought i would (late admitedly) post up the albums i got for Christmas and in sales etc afterwards:

Chimaira - The Impossibility Of Reason

Am still a huge chimaira fan so i bought the final album to complete my collection of their albums. Kind of disapointed with it though compared too others i have, just doesnt seem to have the same venom as them. Not a bad stand alone album though. 6/10

Insane Clown Posse - The Amazing Jeckel Brothers

Well after being sent a few songs by people i bought am…

Ok so i have made a few more purchases too the growing cd collection (now stands at 135 i think). So heres the titles i have bought over past week:

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Well i bought it. Admittedly my music taste has shifted more towards heavier musi, but MCR still have a place in my music collection. If you expected anything like previous albums you'de be disapointed. In other words its different, querky and unique. Maybe not as many upbeat riffs on this one which i miss, but a sound like nobody else. 7.5/10

Trivium -…

Saw this movie today (well yesterday now) with katy today w00t! Anywho i kinda convinced her that it would be a good film too go watch. First thing too say is its got some well known actors in it, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson too name but a few.

Its another cop film you may think but you're wrong. A twisted plotline means that DiCaprio works undercover in a criminal gang for the police, while Damon works undercover in the police for Nicholsons gang. The story progresses with some great gang action scenes, blood and plenty of it…
