The Grey Room

I'm sure there will be other oppurtunities to meet-up. Prog-Power is looking promising for next year for me.

Ah, I presumed you hadn't turned up.  We kept looking for you though.  You did miss an excellent gig though and I hope one of us three can review it.  I need to get a setlist first though.

I have returned from a very memorable gig!  Riverside were brilliant!  It's the second best gig of the year so far!  The accolade of best gig goes to VdGG though.

Wow!

Nice work guys.

It was also great to meet Jared and Andy, they are exactly as expected.

I have noticed one thing though... VdGG fans seem to follow me around!  There was one at a Gov't Mule gig, one who is a friend of someone I know, who I met at a gig and there was even one there last night.

It seems we are using clandestine operations to infiltrate and destroy the world of prog, by usurping it with VdGG t-shirt wearers!  Nice.

Argh, I can't find my ticket, argh!

I was reliably informed they played a panoply of tunes from different albums.  I only recognised two of them, mind you.  The one they finished on reminded me of Nickleback though, which kind of scares me!

Actually, the best tracks they did, were the last ones of the night, including one with acoustic guitars.

Mine will be a Hoegarden.

I've yet to find two websites with the same lyrics to Wuthering heights.  I just grabbed the one with the fewest spelling mistakes.

I always think of Sir Harry Webb when I read "Heathcliff", as well as the lyrics to the childrens cartoon, "Heathcliff".

A classic that song is, but Babushka is better!

All yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooourrrrrrrrrrrs Babushka Babushka Babushka yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh*cough cough*

The wanderer has returned (no, not a certain Bolton Wanderer...) and is ever so tired, despite sleeping well last night.

Withering Temptation were erm... not bad.

The 69 Eyes were erm... terrible.  I have nothing again that sort of music, but I couldn't stop laughing at them.  The way they dressed for one, the way the vocalist span round on the spot every five minutes and the annoying style of the drummer, which really annoyed me.  I couldn't hear the vocals either.

They basically sounded like a camp Sisters of Mercy, mixed with a camp The Cult, with a bit of BOC mixed in too.  Meh.  I do like some Sisters of Mercy, but meh, not The 69 Eyes way.  I was trying to decide how they could make their set any camper than it already was.

As I said, Withering Temptation were not bad... although I swear I saw Sharon den Adel's lips stop moving and her vocals continuing... but maybe that was just me...  Every song sounded the same, mind you.

Heavy Intro
Sharon singing, slow down of music
Heavy bit
Sharon singing, slow down of music
Overly long heavy bit and outtro...

Ad Nauseum.

That was it, for almost every song!  I knew exactly when the heavy bits were coming.

Hmm.

I did enjoy it though.  I even got to meet up with my mate Mark (and his mate, who I've forgotten the name of), who crept to the front and met Nicky and I there (we were in the front row, after all).

I have Nightwish to look forward to in March, woo!

Oh and talking of Kate Bush, I started singing Heathcliffe and Babushka whilst queuing up.  Yes, I'm mad.  I am not sure what prompted this.  Maybe I had a telekinetic mind-spasm that keyed me into the GRoom current conversation?

and any sentence containing "Kate Bush" and "immediate expulsion" will be instantly sniggered at.
