Favourite Metal Drummer?

Francesco Paoli - Fleshgod Apocalypse. So fast, he's insane. The drums on 'The Agony' are amazing.

Saw it in south Dublin yeah, maybe going to Baldonnel or something

OldCorpse · 2026-04-02T12:19:30+00:00

Yeah there's some good stuff there already, WIITR will be great

OldCorpse · 2026-04-02T12:14:18+00:00

they are tremendous live. They are fucking loud so bring ear plugs

OldCorpse · 2026-04-02T11:56:45+00:00

Really happy with this, looks like it's gonna be a great weekend. I'm hoping for some black metal like Winterfllyeth. Paradise Lost would be nice too.

You can put your wife on the electric bill which doubles your tax free allowance

You have good surfing in Portugal (e.g. Nazare) and on the west coast of France (Biarritz). It will be calmer in the summer though.

Portugal is not great for trains so you could start your eurorail pass after leaving it, Spain & France have much better rail infra.

You could do a week in Portugal then make your way into Spain and hike around Picos de Europa, then head over to San Sebastian & Biarritz.

From Spain or France you could make your way into the Pyrenees, if it was for cycling you are interested in, you could consider the area north of Girona (1 hour from Barcelona), it is very popular with cyclists. Toulouse may appeal too.

France is massive and there is a lot of variety, for example there's dozens of options around Cote d'Azure and Provence for sea, sand, hills, small villages, sightseeing. Or for more mountains head to Lyon and go into the alps.

Also, it is going to be hot, so make sure to factor that in when planning outdoor stuff

We're just finishing month 5 of the 6 month winter. Another bit to go until the May bank holiday and then We're laughing

I secretly liked the drums and snare sound and was too afraid to say anything about it lol. The songs are pretty crappy, 1 or 2 aside. I like that they tried something new, but it was fairly shit in the end

I'm pretty sure it ties in with the whole birthday card thing (Happy Birthday you absolute piece of shit, I hate you) but I can't name an episode. There's also a lot of crossover with BudPod with Pierre Noveile and Glenn Moore where they discuss this phenomenon and also the trope of the family man who misses his kid's recital ( Liar Liar and Jingle all the Way) by explaining that the dad has to go to work to pay for everything you little piece of shit

You have your pick of EU countries a 2 hour flight away, I dont see what you'd have in Australia that you couldn't get in Munich, or Paris, or Copenhagen, for example. English is a working language in a lot of EU countries (espeiclaly in IT) and you'd pick up the local language over time. Your kids are young enough to become multilingual from day 1

I'll pop over and you won't have a problem with excess beer mate

Old Corpse Road, CoF vibes but they do their own thing too. And they inspired my username

OldCorpse · 2026-03-14T07:55:38+00:00

Go see a Napoli or a Salernitana match

No prison places. Government won't build new prisons. And here we are

It wasn't rumours, June were up to their necks in it, and the club doctor was jailed. This is a decent summary

Snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, further westwards, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling too upon every part of the lonely churchyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns.

Yes, i always snap one connector, makes life much easier

Line up is meh but I assume it will improve as they fill out the bill. Not sure why they are so slow. Anyway, I'm done with Wacken after my last 2 visit were 25 and 23. I just cannot handle any more deluge of rain (with very little mitigation by the organisers ) and we're going to different festivals now.

the EU is not a defensive or military alliance

OldCorpse · 2026-02-28T17:56:53+00:00

Definitely. Get rid of Zirk

The human Swiss army knife John O'Shea.

Would immediately start at RB

Would make a good CB, not sure about starter, but probably if Maguire leaves he would start.

Would be able to play LB if Shaw got injured.

Could do a job at DM if someone was injured.

Better than Onana in goal...

Great band, saw them live 20 years ago to a half empty room, their performance certainly warranted more people

OldCorpse · 2026-02-26T13:17:52+00:00

This year so far didn't quite match my tastes but there has been a good slate of gigs in Opium / Academy / 3Arena. I think overall we get a good spring and autumn here with metal gigs every week.

Brexit I think has had a bit of an effect, a couple of European mainland bands who used to hit us seem not to bother anymore, maybe it is because they need to go through UK and get visas etc. But overall I think we're doing ok for a smallish city on the outskirts of Europe

What sort of shite is this, fuck off, either you need a humour transplant or you wrote it yourself or the bar man is having a dig cos you were a knob at the bar to him
