In honour of all the appreciation and love for them here...
NP: Judas Priest - Firepower

The whole album is on YT, not sure if it's official, probably not.
Second listen and I still think it's not bad. Was surprised to read yesterday that of all his and Maiden's songs the hardest song for him to sing is Aces High, which is why it's always early in the set. He does point out his solo stuff being written by him is usually easier on his voice than some of the Maiden stuff and I think that can be heard in this album.

More new thrash
 

Bruce Dickinson - The Mandrake Project

Yeah I'm not surprised it's fake, there was only one site reporting on it for several hours. I can't imagine that would have happened had it been real news.
I say good luck to Slayer. I don't care if they want retirement money or they are doing it because they miss it. They went out on top and they'll come back on top and unless they have absolutely terrible gigs they'll go back out on top. I really don't see this being a huge reunion with a big tour or anything, but I could be wrong.

Someone is trying to start a story that the 'reunion' has been organise without Kerry's authorisation and that he's not part of it so he's getting his lawyers involved but I wasn't able to confirm the story (and didn't try too hard).

Death Angel - The Dream Calls For Blood
 

I'm pretty sure my old man's not doing it to make me feel uncomfortable because he knows it doesn't. He's doing it too make excuses for not being as enthusiastic about things as he once was. He's doing it to remind me that although the house is technically on my dirt it's still his house and he'll do what he fucking likes when he likes.
We've talked open and honestly about death for a long time. Being executor and enduring power of attorney for both my parents I've known exactly what they want to happen and how much of it they have organised. I even know what they'll leave behind and what they'll be worth when they go.
My dad was faced with his father's dying bullshit where my grand father orchestrated a rift so deep between Dad and his brother that they would never talk again after his death. He planned it long before he died and it played out almost fucking perfectly because Dad's brother hasn't spoken to any of us since the will was read. Dad (as executor) even went against the will and gave his brother an equal share of the estate. But the fact that his own father actually wanted to give my uncle as little as legally possible and gave him no say on the estate drove the wedge deep. 10 or so years on that wedge is still there and that made my old man the polar opposite to his dad.
 

My parents wouldn't expect us to look after them. Mow the lawn, clean the house maybe that sort of stuff but if they can't cook for themselves they'll put themselves into a retirement home. The time will come when they want to get out of the house they are in, mum already pays a gardener to do the any gardening that isn't vegetable. Dad just seems to want to remind me constantly that it's going to happen. What he doesn't realise is that I know it's going to happen and I have plans for that bit of dirt!!

Geez I'd be fucked if I was going to have to rely on my kids to look after me. They know how to cook, clean, tend to the right things etc etc, but like me at that age they make fucking useless care givers.
Whenever anything gets done around my parents house, like adding some solar panels to the shed or cleaning the gutters or lopping trees, my old man always has the brightest outlook lately. "Well, I wont be here when those next need cleaning." "That's an issue for the next owner." "That will last longer than I will." I got over thinking about it a while ago and now days just throw back a smart arse comment like "then why the fuck are we doing it", or "fair enough lets fucking ignore it and hope it goes away for a few years." The problem with either statement is that my brother and I, more likely I, will be the ones that deal with it because when my parents get out of the house, no matter where they go, we are the next owners.
 

Home electrician for decades. I love making circuits. I once made a guitar pedal for my cuz. I'm currently making a voltage sensitive relay to switch a battery in and out of a solar system.

My first amplifier was a 25W four channel valve amp that I made myself.
(I realise the topic is about guitar amps but I don't care I just want to be involved!)

I remember liking that and the debut album. I know I've heard a few of their songs since but they haven't taken me like those first two albums did. I don't even remember the last time I listened to AA. I have heard Johan sing with a few people like Doro and didn't mind it but never really gone back to the band.

Wings Of War still has the best Bruce Springsteen impersonation of any metal album.

Bobby and Bruce are 2nd cousins. Bon Jovi's their brother in law married to Little Steven's sister.

FKU - Rise Of The Mosh Mongers

Like Doc does his own shopping, he has peons to do the daily mundane tasks like interaction with plebs.

I fucking hate that. The number of fucking idiot delivery men I've had out here on the farm over the years who get told turn their vehicles in a particular spot but think they know better is stupid. I've had everything from vans to semi trailers, from small ruts to full on stuck vehicles and drivers begging me to pull them out with the tractor. If it wasn't an inconvenience to me to leave the idiots when they get stuck I'd do it, but I don't need them hanging around any longer than they have too.

Tomfoolery and general silliness? Nah that doesn't happen here, everyone is dead serious and straight laced.
But have fun anyway
