Nice. Yep, it's a great album. Probably in my top 5 Aussie albums. 'Foreplay' on cassette tape, or the VHS? I still have the VHS in my shed. Would have been worth more a few years ago than now, but if you find the right buyer I'm sure you'd get a sexy price for it.

Random fact was that their guitarist, Phil Bowley, was my best mate in high school's guitar instructor, lol.

Cassette mate, didn't know there was a VHS.  Someone somewhere would pay a pretty penny for both I reckon.  I still collect CD's and surprising how hard it is to find some releases nowadays even on that medium; and even more surprising some of the prices...

OURS-Distorted Lullabies

Jimmy Gnecco's voice is how I would imagine a camp fire singalong with Jeff Buckley, Matt Bellamy, and Thom Yorke would sound.

I typically don't listen to a lot of metal like it seems most of you guys do, but the few heavier bands I am into are Kyuss, Isis, Pelican, System of a Down and Sun O))).

I mostly listen to Hip Hop, 60s & 70s Classic Rock, Soul/Motown and Funk with a bit of reggae, dub, jazz, ambient/minimalist and blues thrown in.

I've recently been working as a video editor for Deep Purple (never been my jam exactly, I'm more of a Led Zeppelin and Sabbath man), Mick Rogers, Rainbow and a few others. Was making Bob Daisley's website too (he was bassist for and wrote most of Ozzy's solo songs).

Was listening to the Rock 2000 here in NZ and stumbled upon Ghosts - Mary on a Cross. Enjoyed it very much, very catchy little tune right there

That's insane to be doing work for all of those names mate!

Yeah, Bob Daisley is legendary.

Never got into Ghost, but their core fan base seem insane. Was talking to a Contractor just yesterday who is flying from Perth to Brisbane just for the gig. He was trying to tell me about what he is wearing-apparently it's a whole semi cosplay scene at the concerts.

Yeah have been watching a few of their live shows on the tube. Some of the headgear and costumes are pretty out there, obviously not a horror vibe but more of that steampunk sort of feel

Speaking of out there costumes, a festival called Midgardsblot somehow popped up on my FB feed yesterday.  Viking themed Norwegian extreme metal.  Not really something I'd be in to, but the footage suggests a decent day was had by all

Rollins Band-Weight

OTEP-Sevas Tra

COLD-13 Ways To Bleed On Stage

Anyone more fortunate than me and ever catch a Japunga gig back in the day?  Brissy band that supported the likes of Slipknot, Machinehead, Trivium, and Mudvayne.
