Insultingly expensive. But I'll call in guesties so I can see Testament again. Probably wold;t hang on for the other two, don't do it for me.

Fingers crossed Testament get a decent legnth set though.

I'm with you on that gwem :lol:

I got the email the other day, thought about it for a few minutes and then deleted. I still buy their albums, but after the last outing, they've changed too much for me (and not enough in other areas!) from the guys I saw in 1980. Wembley was the last straw...

nfe - how insulting is "insultingly expensive"? I didn't get as far as checking prices, but it sounds like it might have been another deciding factor...

Yeah, I'm another Wembley hater.  And I find most gigs too.... noisy nowadays.  Rather have a cup of cocoa and an early night.  :oops:

Same here, swap the cocoa for Jack Daniels maybe though :lol:

I stick the Live Vengeance 82 DVD on while I'm ironing my shirts on Sunday mornings though - I am still a little bit metal

Yeah - try asking KK and Glenn :lol:

I bet they could recommend you all sorts of good stuff - where to get decent slippers (I prefer M&S), reading glasses, pile ointment, that sort of thing.

Hey wasn't Rob wearing a natty dressing-gown/smoking-cap arrangement at Hammersmith at one point during the set last time?

£37.50 I think it was when I looked. Plus however much they'll charge in booking fee plus the compulsory recorded post they seem to do now for very gig at the SECC, presumably the other shows are to within a couple of quid the same.

I like Testament, but I'm seeing 15 odd bands in Novermber for that. And admittedly, I don;t usually pay for any gigs, so Ido take the huff a bit when it's a gig I'll probably struggle to sort guesties for.  :lol:
