Anyone else going?

Three nights only? They be (power) trippin'.

In all seriousness, I hope they have a hoot playing together. I didn't know that they went for 20 years in the first place!

I hope they stick to the first two albums and ignore their grunge, punk and Britpop phases.  I suspect that will be the case, given the lineup.

Those first 2 albums were bangers.

The rest went a bit 'St Anger' and should have gone in the bin.

Powertrippin' is awesome.  IMO.

Britpop? No clue which records you mean but Powertrippin and crank are incredible records. He hinted at this at new year, so good to see shows announced. Id love him to tour (sic) too.

This was the Britpop one...



I'm probably being unduly harsh, but they seemed to change their image, and musical style, every five minutes, for a while.  It all felt a bit like bandwagon-jumping to me.

Well, that was fucking superb.

I saw them open for Maiden in Manchester on the Fear of the Dark tour. This was when Pete "In fact, isn't Milwaukee an Indian name?" Friesen was in the band.
