This album's washed over me a little, I feel like there's no standout song(s) I'm still going to be listening to in a couple of months time. I do like the Stranger Things theme influence in Verona though. Although something about the production reminds me of QotSA's Villains, which I liked a lot more after hearing in a live setting through a live mix. So maybe I'll like it more after hearing some live versions!

Definitely prefer the rides that are crashable, love being able to go between the two sounds so easily. I'm guessing if the dark ride has less definition it's going to be harder to pick up any ping shortly after crashing it? There's hundreds of Memphis drum shop cymbal demos which is great! Although always difficult to tell when it's mic'd up in a decent studio, need to do some demos in a dingy garage or local pub 😂 Just looking at the prices as well and the A sweet is about £170 cheaper in some places! Would love to hear these in person but it's a bit of trek to the nearest drum centre.

Any drummers still about? I need ride cymbal advice. 22" K Custom Dark Ride or 23" A Sweet Ride?

I'm loving Dead Inside at the moment, particularly the live version, when it kicks in for the ending is incredible. -
He's brought the china back, k custom special dry trash china by the looks of it and a k custom special dry crash instead of the a custom efx crash. Prefer this to the way he had it before.
-
Looks like he's simplified things around his kit. Taken out a floor tom and moved the electric pads around. Also looks like the china cymbal has gone and he's replaced the ride with a crash/ride. Would be interesting if someone finds the specs for this kit.

I feel pretty unaffected by this song. Listened a couple of times and thought it's alright. It came up on shuffle this morning and I found myself skipping it for something more interesting.

Took me a second to work out the fightingtheelements hashtag, at first read I thought it said "fighting the eel moments"

Bliss at Wembley 07, that was beefy. I remember being pretty blown away at that point. Gutted it wasn't on haarp, but at the same time if it was my mind probably wouldn't have moulded that memory into a nostalgic masterpiece. Also quite a big fan of Sunburn in Dundee from the video.

I've seen a few people make reference to Matt's "insecurity" in performances. Has he mentioned this in an interview or is it based on his on stage behaviour? I'm just curious where this has come from.

Any drummers still about? Dom/Matt's instagram shares were a pretty cool way to start today.

I'm fairly certain our musical covers of US and MK Ultra are knocking around on youtube somewhere.

Had a random memory of this gig when Chris was popping the rest of the balloons and the crowd was doing the slow build up chant every time a balloon was getting near him and cheered when he popped it. Then when he'd thought they were all gone another was slowly bouncing towards him from behind and the crowd start chanting again and he starting looking around frantically for it. Don't know why but I found that hilarious I can't remember what song this was after though. -
This was the 2nd or 3rd night in Milan, for me this would've been the perfect setlist! Bliss and CE are two of my favourites from that album, Defector is one of my new favourites and I love all of BH&R so 5 songs from that would've been amazing! I went to Manchester night 2, so I saw Revolt, Resistance, Plug in Baby, Stockholm Syndrome instead of Bliss, MotP, Defector, TaB.

Personally for me - Assassin - Fast and technical at times, maintaining the ability to play it is difficult. KoC - Can be fiddly in the trot, I've noticed Dom even simplifies this when he plays it live now, the fills can be tricky as well. Take a Bow - Not necessarily difficult but difficult to play very well. Animals - Needs a bit of stamina at the start, the drum bit in the guitar solo is inspired, takes a few goes to master it. Reapers - Mainly stamina, someone who practices often probably wouldn't have an issue.

I feel your pain, we're going on holiday tomorrow and I used some of our holiday savings to pay for the tickets... My plan is to pretend I'm not hungry for two weeks and tell her when we come back. -

Just got some seated tickets. With stage in the centre I'm actually ok with this! -
I'm a hug fan of these, amazing!
-
Power house opening two, but gets a bit weak for me after New Born until Citizen Erased. Encore 2 is a pretty cool way to end considering they've both generally been mid set songs.

Can anyone recommend a good drum rack? Ideally I need it to hold two cymbal boom arms and a rack tom.

+1 for the higher resolution if you have them please? These are fantastic

I hadn't even considered that the protagonist joined willingly. Mind blown.
