I'm off, and running.

Winner! Nice one. Is Germs getting a vocal track or staying instrumental?

petpiranha · 16th February 2005, 3:42pm

Good question. My arm is being twisted to add a vox track towards the end of it but I personally like it as it is. I like listening to MTS without having my monotone style on top of it

i think germs is quality as it is. it doesn't need a vocal track plus that would take away its status as an instrumental track (sorry, i felt the need to state the obvious). the new stuff is great andy. looking forward to the new album. i've been doing some recording myself. not sure exactly where i'm going with it but it may turn into an album. see what happens. alright, keep 'er lit!!!

Hey Conor good to hear from ya!

cheers for the feedback, kathryn was saying she was at your cd launch recently. I'll have to get hold of your new stuff at some point when I'm back home.

on another note, i'm just after reading about mclusky splitting up. i think that's a shame shame shame cos yesterday i was singing to hell with good intentions at work cos it just sticks in my head sometimes and work is poo and mclusky aren't and yes ash somehow have always made it into kerrang and they're about as rawk as the granda slippers i'm wearing and i think absolution is a fine album but not good enough to be at number six and am i hallucinating or are queen in a kerrang list??? what the fuck is going on???!!!

To Hell With Good Intentions is a fucking classic. I love 'that man will not hang' as well, the way the bass kicks in from the start is killer.

For writing and releasing "Candy" Ash should be banned from the rock hall of anything forever. That is THE most cringeworthy song ever to be released by a so-called big UK rock band. 1977 was a great buzzsaw-guitar-pop record. And then they totally lost it. Despite then adding one of rock's sexiest females on guitar!

Don't get me started on Muse. A band with more talent than they know what to do with who unfortunately make horrible, OTT produced records. Their 2nd LP should be used as an example of classic overproduction. Matt Belamy should have the lead role in Spinal Tap 3

Have downloaded Shell, played it very loud (actually had a neighbour tell me to turn in down you'll be pleased to hear!) and i like it alot! Great stuff ...

Keep up the great work!

petpiranha · 21st February 2005, 8:50am

cheers dave, how's tricks with The Cherrykicks?

Dave_CherryKick · 21st February 2005, 8:54am

Still together (though i'm living in Birmingham now - we thought it very pretentious for a band that no-ones ever heard of to 'split up' ha ha, so we're still the CherryKicks) and hopefully recording again soon. Just a question, as always, of time and cash ...

What about you guys? Heading down to Brum at any point?

petpiranha · 21st February 2005, 12:17pm

HA HA HA HA

Dave, there's so much comedy in that question and only my close friends will get it.

Answer: Not unless you know somewhere where I can buy a handgun with no serial number and a good place to hang out in Mexico

Incuban · 22nd February 2005, 1:04am

you're so harsh on muse. they're brill!!! ash aren't though. i write folky piano and acoustic stuff and even i think candy is a pussy song!!! charlotte i do like, however. mmm mmm....as for the lead role in spinal tap 3, i think i already landed that one with my performance at the cd launch kathryn wuz at!

petpiranha · 22nd February 2005, 2:39pm

"charlotte i do like"

Aye and the rest! If it wasn't for her I don't think Ash would have any fanbase left. Fuck it, let's start a Charlotte from Ash appreciation thread

stuartmaxwell · 22nd February 2005, 4:24pm

muses second lp was outstanding, i dont care much for the first one or the 3rd mind you

hullabaloo soundtrack was nifty

ash were good, now they aint. i cherish angel interceptor forever

lifeless ordinary was one of the best pop singles of the 90s in me humble opinion
