The last CD I bought was 'Assh*le', haven't bought once since. Either iTunes has taken over or that one put me off

Just got it and listened to it twice in a row. It's brilliant!

I haven't heard this for years! I like the song apart from the appallingly long guitar solos. I suppose everybody had to do their bit. Geoff Tate looks about 15.

I'm not going to defend him but I do wonder about: "Vince was accused of striking his ex-girlfriend, Alicia Jacobs in the chest with his finger". How can that even by a charge? "Yes officer, he beat me savagely with his finger. I feared for my life." I understand he might have be...

It seems a drug dealer was in a shootout with the police and they shot him. Not sure of all the facts but the rioting was just an excuse. They sh...

Great band and I watched this with my mouth open in astonishment - simply amazing musicians, tighter than a gnats... You have to watch to the end with the double lead solo.

Then you get to the last line of the story that says: "Ultimate exists in a parallel universe where entirely different realities can take place, Marvel said."

So it's all bollox anyway. A complete non-story. And a throwaway line about being gay actually makes it to the headline. Sigh.

Happy birthday!
