I’m still flying around the world in X-Plane. There are a few very boring communications about this within this site. This communication is just to have my recent Avro Vulcan landing published somewhere other than my YouTube channel. I think most of my landings in that airplane had been “less than satisfactory” but this one went ok. I’m still going to keep trying. I’m starting to vary the aircraft a little to see how they are different and to stave off the boredom of another flight sitting at 35,000ft for half an hour.
We Are Not Your Kind – Slipknot
I’ve been listening to this while doing some other things on the computer and this is a very good album. I enjoy it a lot and there are some great songs. But the problem, as always, with this new music is that is has to get into my brain on top of all the old music and I think the old dog struggles sometimes to learn new tricks. I can remember playing this album in the car quite a bit and I liked it.
Slipknot are great.
W.A.S.P. – W.A.S.P.
I’ve been trying to see this band for about two years! It’s all been messed up by Covid-19. I missed this band in the late 80s and early 90s for some reason. There were stories of Blackie Lawless throwing raw meat into the audience and I wonder just how true those stories are? It doesn’t really matter. This band cemented their reputation with the song “Animal”. I love the sound of this album but it’s not one I’ve played loads as I prefer the live album which has many of these songs on it. This is proper 80s cock rock.
- Fuck Like A Beast – AKA “Animal”, a brilliant song and really quite funny.
- I Wanna Be Somebody – a galloping song of excellence.
- Love Machine – another galloping song and it’s great.
- The Flame – Pretty good.
- B.A.D. – a little slow for my liking but a generally good song.
- School Daze – Blackie’s voice is so classic. This song is ok. Funny cow bell like sounds.
- Hellion – I’d love to mosh to this one. It has a good speed, the crowd would be amazing.
- Sleeping (In The Fire) – a great slower song.
- On Your Knees – Nice up tempo song. Classic W.A.S.P.
- Tormentor – Excellent.
- The Torture Never Stops – Proper galloping.
