I saw him at Salford in 2007, nearly 2 years to the day before he died, playing the whole of Solid Air and a few other songs before and after.

You missed an overweight alcoholic in a wheelchair seemingly playing in his sleep through some of the SA tracks. Very patchy gig because of that, and the saxophone player adding superfluous parts to a few songs didn't help, but there were some really great moments: The title track, Over the Hill, May You Never (til the extended Sax jam tagged on the end), and a really good version of Devil Got My Woman with a Stereolab/Krautrock feel to the instrumental section halfway through. That being said, Looking On was played before he started on the SA album, and the original was nearly as boring as this extended version ...

Ian Hill's favourite Priest song :D

Halford is an interesting specimen ;) One of the reasons I think Priest were better the younger they were is because Rob's voice was the centre of the music and he took it to the limit, whereas when they tried to crack America and during the NWOBHM they had to simplify massively and become more guitar-orientated (not that that's a bad thing either ;))

Brave this Storm - Trivium

Based on this one and Strife I have pre-ordered the album, hoping it's more like The Crusade (or Ascendancy to a slightly lesser degree) though

Much better than the original IMO, fits the theme of the song better too

I'm getting the suspicion that Scooter are closet Goths!

A nice calming bit of trance from the Chemical Brothers with a railway video which I hadn't seen before. Nicely repeating images to suit the repetitive rhythms.

Leviathan - Droid Soup (they're my dad's band)

Song was written about a steam engine despite Leviathan being a class 50 and they're all aware.
