<p>Okaaay... maybe not.</p>

<p>I'm often conflicted about bios for that very reason. All too often people you admire because of their work just turn out to be disappointing as people. </p>

<p>True. But I still love his music and if I'm in a particularly bitter mood myself some days, his songs can make a perfectly biting soundtrack.</p>

<p>They just last week announced they're reuniting and will be recording/touring. A very guilty pleasure, I saw them many times, the first supporting the Screaming Trees (!!) in a small club. Wareham is purportedly a Kiwi, he was born in NZ, but when you converse with him he has no trace of a Kiwi accent that I can detect. But of course, bassist Justin Harwood (ex-Verlaines) is <em>definitely</em> Kiwi and his accent is solid!!</p>

<p>Uh-oh...just watching RAW and a loud "C.M. Punk" chant breaking out...</p> -
<p>Since reading about Roy Harper's <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/20/folk-musician-roy-harper-abused-assaulted-girls-court'>legal troubles</a> I can't get this (great) track out of my head:</p>

<p>Oh Japan. Your ability to merge exploited petite teens with anything never ceases to amaze me.</p>

<p>In relation to the BabyMetal video above, look at this. A lot of it is summing up my feelings.</p>

<p>Ditto. And again for everyone Ive met who has heard Babymetal.</p>
<p>wtf? -> this is cool -> wtf? -> wtf? this is cool -> wt -> this -> wt -> Im not sure -> wtf -> this is cool -> what just happened? was I just punked?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>no doubt this will result in a new sub genre which is mostly loathed due to an influx of inferior copy cats and these guys will be blamed for it (similar to FNM and nu metal).</p>
<p>but for now - I love that someone has managed to make metal fun, and its great to see some females bringing a uniquely female element to a genre that has mostly featured only testosterone fuelled, chest-beating white men since ever.</p>
<p>and all that being said... im not sure that I'll ever crank this in the pathfinder, for me its kind of a guilty pleasure. </p> -

<p>Dave Grohl is a fuken dude, and is totally my hero (watch him as he goes). He's also the best live frontman i have ever had the pleasure of watching. They just always look like they are having fun on stage, and it leads to a great show. This'll be the 5th time i have seen them, and they've never disappointed. </p>

<p>The concert in Sydney last time they were out was the absolute balls. A few metres from the stage, trying my best not to get knocked down by young blokes who were clearly off their head. Great fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Local residents would have been spewing :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tenacious D were the support act which was good for a bit of a laugh.</p> -

Yeah I saw Foo Fighters and Tenacious D in Aucks a couple of years back. Fukin awesome, the most fun I've ever had at a live concert. Grohl is the man but so is Taylor Hawkins. He did an insane drum solo at one point. -
<p>If you do nothing else, fuck her gently!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>edit: and tribute is a cracker of a song (with a mean Grohl cameo!) </p> -
<p>that's pretty awesome. Boys love them some Sabbath</p>
