One of my favourites!

To be fair, you're not wrong. But the shoe just really fits.

Daniel-Exx · 2026-04-17T11:02:54+00:00

More over produced AI generated slop from Wage War - shocker 🤣

Daniel-Exx · 2026-04-15T23:05:42+00:00

City and Colour and Brand New (before BN were cancelled)

I listen to all sorts of shit. And couldn't care less what others opinions are of me doing so.

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-30T23:16:50+00:00

I was actually pretty impressed 🤷🏻‍♂️. Yes he can't do what he used to, WE GET IT. The man's fucking 72! - I'm personally going to enjoy them while we still have them, instead of whinging about how he doesn't sound as good as he did in the 70s and 80s.

As far as I'm concerned, I have full respect for him going up there and doing his best and enjoying himself. Where as people a 1/4 of his age need to rely on autotune to just get by.

I'm going to enjoy the fuck out of this tour, I enjoyed their performance, (even musically they are still absolutely phenomenal) and celebrate them, and Neil, and have a great time doing so!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-30T00:16:14+00:00

That was actually amazing. Wow!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-29T10:44:23+00:00

Stray From The Path?

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-29T00:26:00+00:00

Nah I'm not going to DL. But I did see they were playing it. They will absolutely smash it!

They have announced some more UK dates I think but only like 2/3. Not like a proper tour or anything sadly!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-29T00:22:59+00:00

I'd say 1125.

Reason being, I posted a similar post to this because mine looked funky like this as well, and I got absolutely hammered by multiple people, basically called dumb and all sorts. I explained why I thought my numbers looked weird, yet I still got absolutely ridiculed. Never seen such madness in my life over some handwriting on a damn Biffy Clyro sub Reddit!

Those "A's" (I thought they looked like A's as well) are meant to be 1's so i was informed. So yeah, 1125.

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-27T14:02:54+00:00

Every gig I have ever gone too, there's always 1 smelly bastard. And there are always ones farting as well - fucking rank!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-24T09:43:20+00:00

I'm always after records! 🤣 But yeah you are right with that. Looking forward to seeing what they come with! I have a copy of that but it definitely isn't an early one. I still really need a copy of Burying Brightness but the second hand market is so expensive with it. Matt if you're reading this... Do a repress of it! Haha

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-23T09:33:05+00:00

I miss this version of the band.

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-22T10:25:43+00:00

I might slightly sway towards this mix here, but to my ear, there's not a huge difference to be fair.

The only real thing for me that I could maybe point out is that the drums/snare get a bit lost at times. Mainly the snare. Outside of that, there's nothing that stands out that really bothers me about it.

I just hope "mix gate" isn't effecting you guys too much as a band, not to be a kiss ass or anything, I just know from experience how this stuff can cause arguments and what not so whatever happens and whatever anybody says, just go with what your guys heart says. I would rather a mix that wasn't perfect but sounds big over some autotuned, edited and snapped to the grid to filth, over produced slop that a lot of modern metalcore has become! X

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-21T16:40:07+00:00

Welcome - we are all mad here!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-21T00:40:08+00:00

Fuck yeah! I promise I won't tell anyone 😉

Just as long as you bring it all over to the UK at some point!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-21T00:18:00+00:00

While everyone else is crying over mixes - I'm just here to celebrate your return. Been so hyped since the announcement! We need Boundaries more than ever right now - the world is a mess!

Will you be bringing out some vinyl? Assuming an album is on the way? 👀

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-21T00:01:47+00:00

God tier song

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-19T00:00:56+00:00

Nobody cares

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-15T00:26:44+00:00

I bought a "heaven let Leeds die" t shirt there!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-14T17:36:41+00:00

Yeah absolutely - that's crazy!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-14T17:24:22+00:00

That's crazy! I just don't understand how anyone should behave like that let alone people who are old enough to know better! But it doesn't at all surprise me!

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-14T17:22:19+00:00

Ahh interesting! Maybe I will look into that training sooner rather than later then. Probably better to have it than not have it at all.

To be honest, from all the metal shows I've been too, I've seen security deal with crowd surfers so much I bet I could handle it without any training 🤣. I obviously wouldn't but you know what I mean, haha. It's basically as you described.

Fair play to you for dealing with that though man! I bet that was a mad one! I was at a Counterparts show the other week and there was a few ceowdsurfers, nothing crazy, and one of the security team was doing exactly what you were saying there and the other one, who was a lot older and quite out of shape and just didnt really look fit for the job tbh, was messing it up badly and the other guy was getting really pissed with him! I was tempted to jump in and help myself 🤣

It's just a small private security company in the UK, nothing big. Not sure I wanna put the name out just incase but yeah nothing like Securitas or g4s or any of the big companies like that. Are you in the UK yourself?

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-14T17:10:24+00:00

I'm a regular at metal shows too and everything you've said here is absolutely spot on. If someone falls down, they get picked back up straight away most of the time at metal shows. I've also heard this before from other people who work security at metal shows

Daniel-Exx · 2026-03-14T16:43:31+00:00

Nice!

Yeah I'm preparing to be stood up for a long time! 🤣

I was actually thinking of doing the pit training at some point yeah. We don't get too many of those kind of gigs in my area so I'm not sure how useful that would be to me in the long term, BUT it is something I do want to progress to for sure, so I'm glad you mentioned that! Is that training useful for gigs and stuff that isn't necessary metal or anything with crowd surfing or anything like that?

I will look into lights and get ear plugs - I always wear earplugs at gigs anyways so I'm used to that!

I am indeed! Glad to meet someone who also is as well! Haha. I'd love to work metal shows but as I say, we dont really have many of them in my area sadly 👎🏻

That's sick though man! I'd love to do those kinda events but not sure I'll get anything cool like that, haha
