A bit too posed?

An action shot may have been a better choice

Ace Frehley rarely gets the credit he deserves for his playing

I'm surprised these aren't higher and that Diadems didn't make it

According to Amazon these are my top 20 listened to songs this year

It seems a bit one sided

#BigGavPlays Pist.on - Number One

A great wee album from 96 with a strong ToN influence, Josh produced this album so that should come as no surprise

Current reading material

Robert Fisk - The Great War For Civilisation

A truly epic read, 603 pages in and not yet half way through it

A really fascinating book

#BigGavPlays Megadeth - I Don't Care

13 years ago today I was in Leicester on my stag to attend Motorhead with Anthrax in support

My memory of the actual night is quite hazy but from what I do recall, both bands were great

While we're here, what is the problem with Megadeth and terrible artwork over the last few decades?

I feel like this is a safe place to post the offending pic

Kreator - Coma of Souls

Happy 35th birthday to this fucking glorious bastard of an album. This was my introduction to the band and still my favourite album of theirs

Megadeth - Youthanasia

Hard to believe that this album is 31 years old today. I remember rushing out of school to pick up the cassette and listening to it non stop for ages

Also saw Megadeth for the second time on this tour with CoC opening for them

#BigGavPlays Accept - Balls To The Wall

What a classic album, can't wait to see Udo and chums play it in full in Belfast on Tuesday supporting the mighty Saxon

W.A.S.P. - The Last Command

40 years old today

This was the first album of theirs that I owned and probably my least favourite of their original run of albums. That said, Widowmaker is an underrated classic
