Been there, seen that, done that etc etc part 666, the bands I saw in 2008 (if a band is listed more than once that would be because I saw them more than once in 2008):

I'm filling in old gigs, gradually, I'll get to my current total 670 soon enough, a few more years to fill in. I'm amazed that somebody saw NOFX at Brixton Academy on the same day I saw then at the Astoria in 1995, Similarly, some other freak managed to see Fear Factory in Cardiff on the same day they supported Slayer at Brixton Academy in 1996, strange. Then there are the people putting down old gigs in the name that the current venue is called i.e - Brixton Academy will always be just Brixton Academy, to me, stuff that shandy…

Tonight it's 1349 @ Camden Underworld, the 600th gig I've been to (I should know, I write down all the details in a gig diary). Will it be any different to any other gig? Probably not, have a few beers, nod politely to good bands, moan about substandard support bands, or maybe not? I recall 1349 being better, to my ears, than Gorgoroth, when they supported them in November 2005 @ Camden Underworld.

Wed 19 Sep – Misfits, The Briefs, SPiT LiKE THiS

Spit Like This please rename yourselves Shit Like This. The Briefs were briefly entertaining in a mediocre sort of way. Misfits were a shambles, yet again, haven't they got enough songs of their own that they shouldn't be still resorting to doing poorly thrashed out Black Flag covers? I left when they'd been on for 45 minutes, should have gone earlier, but I had to finish my pint of Murphys first.
