  1. It could well be that too. I'm not sure how much thought Lars and Co put into their lyrics and covers being related.

    I always figured any connection to the military in Master was more about the fact that so many return service people ended up letting drugs become their master, as did every day people.

    Maybe we are all wrong and it's Lars depicting how he wants to be in control of everything :)

     

  2. I've never considered the Master Of Puppets album to be a graveyard because of how close the crosses are and how long the grass around them was. I've always assumed it was more a memorial area, small crosses planted one behind the other to represent a total number rather than individual people. Given the lyrics of the song and that there is only two obvious military items in the image I've also assumed it's more about drug use, hence the hands pulling the strings from above controlling the user. But hey I've been wrong before I'm sure I'll be wrong again.

    Never heard them, any good?

    They can be a bit weak if the mix is done wrong. There is actually some band pop people are raving about here, some pandemic thing that everyone seems to love who call themselves something about cordial, it could have been Lime, or it could have just been crap.

  4. I've never seen Big Train, but I have been collecting Red Dwarf stuff since the days of VHS.

    I find that I tend to go through stages of following people rather than shows. It doesn't just happen with comedies, but using them as an example, I'll get the urge to watch Black Adder so I'll watch them and then watch whatever else I can find of Rowan's. Or I'll watch something with Hugh Laurie and then watch everything of his I can get. There are so many shows these guys did that I can spend ages just watching one person.

    Comedians like Sean Lock, Johnny Vegas and Bill Bailey are the same, I can get lost on Youtube just looking at clips of those guys.

    We do have some comedians like that In Oz, but many of ours don't translate well to an overseas audience. Tim Minchen however is an exception, he's brilliant, although often people do get offended by his chosen topic.

  5. Since it seems like Pommie shows get a decent run on these forums what are people thoughts on comedy shows? In many areas I think the Poms do it better than the Yanks. Shows like Red Dwarf, The Two Ronnies, Black Adder, even panel type shows like 8 out of 10 Cats and Would I Lie To You are shows that I regularly watch, most of the time in preference to more recently made shows.

    I don't mean to take anything away from the Yanks with their shows, they've had good shows, but it does seem like in this country shows from the UK, Scotland, Ireland etc, especially older shows are still on regular replay here and gaining new audiences all the time.
