Yep, I reckon they are alright. For once I don't think the clash is my problem. Wonder is it 18's? Dragonforce and Alestorm as an 18's show would be a bit odd.

I saw them in the ambassador in '08 with Turisas supporting. It was a good show but wasn't the best turnout and it was 18+

I'd say they'll be even less of a turnout at this though could be wrong. Ill be at Wasp anyway! Very Happy

Even if it was on a different night I still wouldn't bother going. They're just too boring. Saw them before & did very very little for me!

Saw their recent show in the 100 club here in London, it was pretty meh, I wouldn't be bothered again. Not even sure they'll half fill the Shepherd's Bush Empire to be honest.

Just got an email from MCD which confirms it is over 18's. It doesn't mention Alestorm either. Maybe they will have to move it to the Pint Laughing

Never by myself. I used to dread the question "Why do you not like them?" as the answer was less than polite.

Posing, generic, overrated, piss poor cunthawks of an excuse of a band. I'd rather eat my toenails than have to suffer them. I remember going out of my way to stay in the bar in Belfast while they were supporting Iron Maiden.

Fucking wankers of a band and that flailing haired fucker can cunt right off too!
