Will be definitely going to the GNR Slane Castle gig, just debating whether to pay the extra for Nightrain membership and get them early or wait until GA goes on sale this Friday...

Well I went and saw An Evening with Blackstone Cherry last night at the O2 Empire, and what a show that was.
They played a good 45 minute acoustic set which was only let down by the idiots in the crowd who decided to keep chatting amongst themselves while they were performing or interacting with the crowd. They then played an 1.5hr Electric set that was absolutely fantastic with a mix of tracks from all of the albums and the whole crowd was into that part of the show. |

I *loved* seeing rarities like Stay, Big City Lights, Devil's Queen and Killing Floor played; and Soul Machine, White Trash Millionaire, Blame It On The Boom Boom and Cheaper To Drink Alone are as bouncy as they ever were. If I had one gripe with the show is was that Magic Mountain was massively over-looked, I know people point that out as the worst BSC album but it still has some top tunes on it, would have loved to have seen Runaway or Remember Me in the acoustic set for example. |

Just saw Delain headline Paradiso in Amsterdam.
It was AMAZING! Concert included: - Confetti cannons - Past band members joining them on stage - Special guests like Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory, Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy, George Oosthoek from Orphanage and Liv Krisitne from Leaves' Eyes. - 22 song setlist spanning their entire career - DVD professional filming - Awesomely energetic crowd Just such a top gig, I loved it and can't wait to relive it all on the DVD. |

Just starting to appreciate Delain, I know I'm a bit late!
Not sure what the best CD to start off with would be?? I don't want to get everything they've done, as a] I can't afford it and b] I like so much other music I don't have enough time in the day! Recommendations welcomed. I have been listening to a fair bit of recent Nightwish lately, will be trying to get the new Live DVD shortly. And I also enjoy a lot of Within Temptation too. Not so much knowledge of other bands of that ilk, again, feel free to suggest albums or bands to try out. |

Tom Petty + The Heartbreakers to headline BST Hyde Park, London in July.
Stevie Nicks and many others to support. £76+fees per ticket. I'm worried that it may sell out before I can afford it after Christmas

The double live album (let us burn) is so worth a listen, Regards Delain, just listen to any of the albums cannot go wrong with any of them. |

Power Metal
Never heard of it before but discovered it after listening to Transformers The Movie soundtrack. I can say I'm a fan of Power Metal |

Also they're a top quality live act, but unfortunately don't tend to come to the UK too often. |

Not so much knowledge of other bands of that ilk, again, feel free to suggest albums or bands to try out. I think Moonbathers is probably Delains strongest release so far although both their first two albums are also very strong. Two other well known bands similar to them that you should check out are Epica (although they are a bit heavier), Xandria. Less known bands like Leaves Eyes, Amberian Dawn and Sirenia are also worht checking out. Seen WT, Nightwish, Delain, Epica many times live and have never seen anything other than a brilliant show (although Nightwish were a little "iffy" when they had Anette singing for them, but they soon put that right by bringing in Floor). |

There were a few technical issues, repeated microphone failures (especially during Sleepwalkers Dream), the lights on Martijn's keyboard stand not working properly and problems with the confetti cannons meaning they couldn't be used at the end, but I thought the band coped with them all very professionally and as a gig it was exceptional as, it must be said, were the audience!

I really like her style of vocal - theatrical and slightly pop-esque - OK she's no powerhouse but tone and musicality she had in spades. Floor suits Nightwish though - lots of stage presence and her height and build is really something to behold. But I'm not convinced Endless Forms is Nightwish's best work. |

Out of interest, Amberian Dawn and Diabulus In Musica are playing London's Boston Music Room on Friday 10th February. |
