Sounds like something from their first album Good Feeling. I like it a lot.

First album Hansi has ever said fucking on. And you sir are Hansi fucking Kursch.
A step away from metal but it worked.
Also thanks Hansi for being the one to turn me into a Morgoth fan girl.

Is it me or is this a tribute to Noddy Holder in Blind Guardian's Merry Xmas everybody? Look at Hansi's pants.  |

It really bothers me when I go to a gig, the music is synth driven and there's not a keyboard player in sight so they use backing tracks. I've seen this various times now and it really takes away from the live experience.
At this particular gig the bass player played a bit on a little synth that happened to be there, but you still heard the bass too, which made me wonder how much of it is actually live? Or was I just watching a glorified karaoke show?
Just let the synths out, or, if they are an important piece of the music, HIRE A FECKING KEYBOARD PLAYER!

They probably don't have the money to hire anyone, if they're a small band. |

Sometimes the player plays a section and loops it when moving onto a different part, a bit like what Ed Sheeran does. If this is the case, that's fine but if it is basically a pre-recorded track playing then its a big no no. |

I've seen Ed Sheeran once at a festival and even though I think his music is super generic and boring, I was really impressed with that whole one-man-band-looping-schtick! |

I think it's such a shame and it's really just fooling your audience in a way. |

Not a fan at all, but I was also impressed how he was able to play Wembley stadium literally just by himself. |

R.I.P Chris Cross of 80s band Ultravox. Really sad news that he's passed he co wrote the bands classic Vienna such a great tune.
I love their 80s music and always have.

Listened to Screaming Trees live in Worcester supporting Oasis from 1996. Great recording. All I Know, Dying Days and Nearly Lost You were awesome standouts.
Criminally underrated band. Always will recommend.

For Verve fans on here: isolated the guitars from the Haigh Hall performance of Neon Wilderness & Weeping Willow, then remixed it. A McCabe masterclass.

Another banger by The Lemon Twigs. This is shaping up to be the album of the year!

Coachella isn't Rock Festival anymore. It hasn't been for a long time, but Blur did that warmup show and a Fan did sang with them on the stage for Parklife, so they enjoyed with the kind of followers that would go see them and had a pretty paycheck for one meh gig, perhaps the one next week will be better with less social media guys there. |

He may be known for his solo work, but the John Farnham Little river band era is underrated.
Also, because people keep asking, my top 2 BG songs from each album
Battalions of Fear: Majesty, Battalions of Fear (edit track 2 is how the name was made, thanks IT. Edit 2: Fuck RR for almost nuking the planet)
Follow the Blind: Banish from Sanctuary, Valhalla
Tales from the Twilight World: The last candle, Welcome to dying
Somewhere Far beyond: Ashes to Ashes, Quest for Tanelorn
Imaginations from the other Side:Imaginations from the other Side, Born in a mourning hall
Nightfall in Middle Earth: A dark passage, Mirror Mirror
A night at the opera: Wait for an answer, Battlefield
A twist in the myth: Carry the blessed home, Lionheart
At the edge of time: Sacred worlds, A voice in the dark
Beyond the red mirror: Ashes of eternity, Prophecies
The God Machine: Violent Shadows, Let it be no more (sob 😭)

I remember seeing something for Paul Weller doing a US tour but I didn’t know he’d be playing a proper tour!
Playing at First Avenue on September 16th. I think I need to go to that!
