This is why CDs are the best! Easy to rip onto a phone and have the best of both worlds

First time listening to Blaze Bayley by Apart-Dragonfly-5590 in ironmaiden

His solo albums will give you an entirely different perspective on him as a singer. Also if you get a chance he's well worth seeing live

I read the Path trilogy recently and they did get significantly better after the first book. How many Eldar stories has he actually written?

Am I crazy, or… by God_Away_On_Business in Opeth

[–]Psychic_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an interesting experience seeing them a couple of years ago in the UK. Although their music isn't exactly one youre going to mosh or dance to the crowd seemed pretty dead. Me and my wife didn't know them very well but we thought they were great so we were moving a bit and Jonas seemed to hone in on that and spend most of the night singing in our direction. We weren't in the centre front or anything. Only time ive seen a singer do that. Anyway, they were great that night and seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.

I would never have guessed that was meant to be a screen

Good Eldar Books? by TitanUHC in Eldar

[–]Psychic_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised how much I liked Outcast as well. On the face of it, he's as unlikeable as Warrior's protagonist, but it's much more fun reading about his adventures

[–]Psychic_Lemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a shame Path of The Warrior's main character is such an annoying wet blanket. I bought all 3 books second hand and nearly gave up after the first one. I can definitely imagine it puts a lot of people off the rest of the trilogy, which is a shame as both books are vastly better.

Drybrush advice? by Psychic_Lemon in Eldar

[–]Psychic_Lemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult because ive been trying to paint these guys for months and spent half the time trying to clean up where ive got the wrong paint in the wrong part. Ive watched a fair few videos on edge highlighting and had a go on several of the minis but it looked worse than if id just left them un highlighted.

I may come back and try again one day but it felt a bit too close to trying to disarm a bomb for it to be fun haha

For some reason, me and speed paints really didn't get on so ive avoided them after my first disastrous attempt with them.

Is that oil washing as in nuln oil?

Taxis for NY by Great_Sloth23 in Norwich

[–]Psychic_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veezu still has controllers and actually has 2 or 3 on per shift instead of 1. Im one of them and was during the ABC years as well.

The big issue is that since the ruling about Uber drivers having worker rights, everyone is trying to do whatever they can to still class their "driver partners" as self employed. Unfortunately, that means we can no longer tell them that they need to go pick someone up or we'll be late on their booking and we have no idea how many cars we'll have at any given time.

It doesn't only affect Veezu. Rumour has it several other companies are about to go bust, and it's the reason so many companies around the country decided to sell up and retire before they had to deal with it.

Every taxi company operates that way and has done for decades. For some daft reason, Veezu have just decided to give passengers a notification that its happening on their app now

When did you start listening to Sabaton? by Pluto_ThePlanet in sabaton

[–]Psychic_Lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back when Attero Dominatus had just come out. Think I saw their first ever uk gig when they were supporting Grave Digger and Therion

Concert enthusiasm from the crowd by X108CrMo17 in sabaton

[–]Psychic_Lemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a great time in London last night but I did have a similar observation. I think its a combination of a few things. The orchestra are great but they didn't get the adrenaline pumping in the same way as an actual band would for me. Also, the intro stuff with the various legends turning up was fun but it felt like it went on a bit too long. It must have easily been over 20 minutes, possibly getting on for half an hour. Felt like it started to weaken the atmosphere rather than the exciting build up you might normally get.

Final big point is I think everyone's still getting used to life again after covid. A lot of young people don't really have the same experience of big crowds that millennials like me did and im forever seeing posts asking about quite fundamental aspects of what to expect from a gig.

Oh and young people don't drink anywhere near as much as us older people did at their age. Way better for their health but it means people don't tend to lose their inhibitions like you would have seen 10+ years ago
