Mike is quite correct I have 100s of hours of live Dead recordings, if you've got 3 hours to spare have a listen to the Grugahalle concert from March 28th 1981 which you can stream free online it's one of my favourites.

30000 songs on my iPod so a fairly broad selection other than the Dead!

That’s a lot of Grateful Dead a proper Dead head I’ve still got the Grateful Dead movie on VHS with the animated start which is one of the best starts to anything you could ever see.

It’s quite hard to get into modern day bands when these greats of the past produced all this fine music I’m a big Zappa fan as well.

Good to see theres a few Hawkwind fans onboard..the new bass player is really good & has given them a new lease of life.. superb last time i saw them ... at the mo i'm listening to the Dead Daisies who i think are rather good...should see them @ the Rock & Blues

Been a fan for the last 45 years and lucky enough to see them twice with Jerry in 1990 and then again in Albany when they got together in 2009 before they did the last hurrah in 2015 - only managed to see the last ever show in Chicago at the cinema.

Off to see Maiden at the O2 next month with their Legacy of the Beast tour - looking forward to seeing Killswitch Engage the support band to

Should be a laugh

I used to go and see Iron Maiden at the Ruskin Arms pub in Upton Park when they had their original frontman Paul Diano who was a big West Ham fan and used to sing Bubbles on stage great days have fun.

I'm sensing a theme here, i'm in that group too. Anything old school rock and roll, metal, some blues then drifting into late 70's early 80's band like Joy division, New Order, Echo and the bunnymen.

However I've also been trying to keep up with modern stuff a little bit, The Maccabees and so on. Also trying out the return of house music.

Killswitch Engage are awesome, one of the pioneers of the metalcore genre, I thought they might not be so good when they lost Howard Jones' vocals but Jesse Leach returned and they went from strength to strength.

Sometimes I go days with that tune playing over and over in my head but I never listen lol.

My favourite Hawkwind album is Warrior on the edge of time 1975 I still listen to it a lot amazing that they are still going after all these years.

I’ve seen most of those bands I remember when Van Halen were new on the scene and supported Black Sabbath in lewisham I really enjoyed this era of music could go on for ages about it.

Dirty I don’t how you find stuff like that shocking that lead singer needs a dose of Senokot

mickj · 18-07-2018, 09:22 AM

I like heavy metal bands such as Manowar, Rammstein, Metallica, Gamma Ray etc.

I can go with that. I must dig my copy out: 12" black vinyl in a fold out shield sleeve.

My favourite though was the Roadhawks live set.
