    Is it still Daniel P Carter? Whilst I am obviously not the target audience I have tried to give it a go, but having grown up on Alan "Fluff" Freeman's Saturday Rock Show and The Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance the only word that comes to mind with the current incarnation is.... Dire.

    Have to agree here. Alan Freeman, Tommy Vance and maybe Nicky Horne ( on Capital) were the catalyst for me too.

    Off Topic a little, I'm off to the Ramblin' Man festival this weekend, any else going? if so, who would you be most looking forward to seeing?

    Yes, we are going as well!!

    As regards who I'm looking forward to seeing....

    Saturday:

    Unto Us - They are friends of mine
    Touchstone - See above
    Pendragon - See above
    Anathema
    Scorpions

    I would say Dream Theater as well but they are on the same time as Anathema... >:(

    Sunday:

    Blues Pills
    Anna Phoebe
    The Temperance Movement
    Riverside
    Rival Sons
    Joanne Shaw Taylor

    Unfortunately, I can only go for the one day, the Saturday.

    Looking forward to seeing how BOC sound these days, like a bit of Dream Theater, and for pure entertainment value I'm pervesly looking forward to seeing Saxon again after many years.....interspersed with some brief visits to the prog stage, and maybe longer visits to the bar :)

    I last saw BOC in 1981 at Monsters Of Rock, so it has been a while. I so love Dream Theater but for me Anathema will always trump them :)

    Of all the bands I've listed that I want to see, it is only Seasick Steve I've not seen before

    Hopefully Lemmy's health will hold out, they have got a load of dates between now and then.

    This a friends' band called Employed To Serve. I think they're absolutely brilliant and think they're going to be huge. Best band I've heard in quite a while. Get shivers towards the end of the song. Please give it a go.

    Well, I gave it a go, good luck to them, but most certainly not my cup of tea.

    As they say, it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing. :)

    I just caught a couple of minutes of the Download Festival, with what I assume must have been Slipknot. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

    Got my pre-order in for the album on Amazon, and also tickets for their tour with Motorhead. Hopefully they will also do a headline tour for the album as well.

    I know what you mean Rich, and also a date in Wales would have been appreciated.
