I was actually a huge fan of 'Thinking About You'. I'd have to agree with the Flaming Lips - Do You Realise? one. I hate Marilyn Manson, but I was a huge fan of 'The Fight Song', so I decided to get a loan of the 'Holy Wood' album, but I wasn't impressed at all.

That match was the most offensive match I've ever seen live. It was the epitome of dumb indy wrestling with a million guys doing a million stupid dives which made all of them mean absolutely nothing in the end. The *only* thing I remember is Teddy Hart making an ass of himself and thats after several other guys did stupid jumps off the top of a cage. -Paul Jacobi- It certainly warrants a viewing from a first time fan. It's a crazy spotfest, and the best scramble match IMO.

There are a FEW matches from his WWE run that I like. It will surely have a LOAD of ECW matches, including some of the Jerry Lynn run.

I can see maybe Dave Batista winning it by pinning Randy Orton. I can certainly see Orton getting a pin on Triple H.

I'll list the matches I think you need to see. Era of Honor Begins : Low Ki v Christopher Daniels v American Dragon Round Robin Challenge : Christopher Daniels v American Dragon, American Dragon v Low Ki Night of Appreciation : Low Ki v AJ Styles Road to the Title : Doug Williams v American Dragon, Low Ki v The Amazing Red, Christopher Daniels v AJ Styles Crowning a Champion : Low Ki v Spanky v Doug Williams v Christopher Daniels ( 60 Minute Iron Man Match ) Honor Invades Boston : Mark Briscoe v Jay Briscoe, AJ Styles v Low Ki Unscripted : Micheal Shane v Paul London ( Street Fight ) Glory By Honor : Ikuto Hidaka v The Amazing Red, Samoa Joe v Low Ki ( Fight Without Honor ) All Star Extravaganza : Christopher Daniels/Samoa Joe/Donovan Morgan v Low Ki/Homicide/Doug Williams, AJ Styles v American Dragon, Masato Tanaka/Shinjiro Ohtani v Low Ki/Steve Corino Scramble Madness : American Dragon v Doug Williams ( 30 Minute Iron Man Match ) Night of the Butcher : American Dragon v Paul London Final Battle 2002 : Steve Corino v American Dragon v Low Ki v Samoa Joe Beating The Odds : Homicide v Trent Acid, Samoa Joe v AJ Styles v Chris Sabin v Jay Briscoe Bitter Friends, Stiffer Enemies : Homicide v Steve Corino ( No Holds Barred ) Death Before Dishonor 2003 : Doug Williams v Tom Carter, Colt Cabana v BJ Whitmer v Dan Maff v Homicide, CM Punk v Raven ( Dog Collar Match ) Do Or Die : Homicide v Samoa Joe Empire Statedown Showdown : John Walters v Christopher Daniels, CM Punk v Steve Corino Epic Encounter : Paul London v American Dragon ( 2/3 Falls ) Expect The Unexpected : Low Ki/Da Hit Squad v Special K, Samoa Joe v BJ Whitmer v Homicide v EZ Money, Christopher Daniels/Xavier v AJ Styles/Amazing Red Final Battle 2003 : American Dragon v Jay Briscoe, Xavier v John Walters ( Fight Without Honor ), CM Punk/Colt Cabana v Kazushi Miyamoto/Tomoaki Honma Glory By Honor II : Samoa Joe v Christopher Daniels Main Event Spectacles : Homicide v BJ Whitmer ( Fighting Spirit Match ), SAT v Backseat Boyz v Teddy Hart/Jack Evans v Special K v The Carnage Crew ( Scramble Cage ), AJ Styles v American Dragon Night of Grudges : AJ Styles v Paul London Night of Champions : Doug Williams v Christopher Daniels, Amazing Red/AJ Styles v The Briscoes, Low Ki v Jody Fleisch One Year Anniversary : Jay Briscoe v Mark Briscoe, Paul London v Low Ki v AJ Styles Revenge on the Prophecy : BJ Whitmer v Colt Cabana v Paul London v Homicide, Samoa Joe v American Dragon, AJ Styles/Low Ki v Christopher Daniels/Xavier Round Robin Challenge II : CM Punk v Homicide, TWA v The Carnage Crew ( No DQ ), Christopher Daniels v Paul London The Conclusion : SAT v Special K v Carnage Crew v Fast Eddie/Hotstuff Hernandez ( Scramble Match ), The Briscoes v AJ Styles/Samoa Joe, CM Punk v Raven ( Cage Match ) Tradition Continues : AJ Styles v CM Punk, Xavier v Mark Briscoe v John Walters v Homicide, Samoa Joe v Jay Briscoe War Of The Wire : Samoa Joe v AJ Styles, Steve Corino v Homicide ( Barbed Wire Match ) Wrestlerave : Homicide v Trent Acid 2nd Anniversary Show : Samoa Joe v Dan Maff v Low Ki v BJ Whitmer At Our Best : AJ Styles v CM Punk, Samoa Joe v Jay Briscoe ( Steel Cage Match ) Battle Lines Are Drawn : AJ Styles v Homicide, The Briscoes v Samoa Joe/American Dragon, Christopher Daniels/Dan Maff/BJ Whitmer v CM Punk/Colt Cabana/Ace Steel Generation Next : CM Punk/Colt Cabana v BJ Whitmer/Dan Maff, Alex Shelley/Austin Aries/Roderick Strong/Jack Evans v The Briscoes/John Walters/Jimmy Rave, Samoa Joe v Homicide Last Stand : Caprice Coleman v Jack Evans v Slyk Wagner Brown v Hydro v Chris Sabin v Sonjay Dutt, Alex Shelley v Jimmy Jacobs, CM Punk v Homicide Reborn Completion : Doug Williams v Alex Shelley, Homicide/Havana Pitbulls v Samoa Joe/The Briscoes Reborn Stage One : The Briscoes v The Havana Pitbulls, CM Punk v American Dragon, Samoa Joe v Homicide Reborn Stage Two : Nigel McGuinness v Jimmy Rave v Rocky Romero v Austin Aries, American Dragon v Homicide, The Briscoes v CM Punk/Colt Cabana Round Robin Challenge III : Spanky v Homicide, The Briscoes v CM Punk/Colt Cabana Survival Of The Fittest : Mark Briscoe v Colt Cabana v Austin Aries v Homicide v Bryan Danielson v Samoa Joe World Title Classic : Roderick Strong/Alex Shelley v John Walters/Jimmy Rave, Samoa Joe v CM Punk, Austin Aries/Jack Evans v BJ Whitmer/Dan Maff v The Briscoes v CM Punk/Colt Cabana ( Ultimate Endurance ) Testing The Limit : Austin Aries v American Dragon ( 2/3 Falls ) Death Before Dishonor II Night One : Doug Williams v Alex Shelley, John Walters/Matt Stryker/Jimmy Jacobs v Jack Evans/Roderick Strong/Austin Aries, Samoa Joe v Homicide, CM Punk/Colt Cabana v The Briscoes ( 2/3 Falls ) Death Before Dishonor II Night Two : Doug Williams v Austin Aries, Samoa Joe v Colt Cabana, Ace Steel/CM Punk v Dan Maff/BJ Whitmer ( Chicago Street Fight )

This is a pretty fucking pathetic list. I'd certainly rate 'Comfortably Numb', 'Freebird' and 'Anasthesia (Pulling Teeth)' pretty highly.

Not quite the album of the year, but this album is a cracker, no mistake.

Thanks for that people.

I have decided to try and get into more of the US indy scene, and have ordered 2 Rev. Pro shows. Here are the shows ... Revolution Pro - 4th Anniversary Show Gringo Loco & Nemesis vs Xtreme Loco & VEGA Rudos Dojo Battle Royal American Wild Child, Topgun Talwar & Babi Slymm vs. Chris Bosh, Quicksilver & Phoenix Star Piloto Suicida vs Shamu Jr. Angel & Zokre vs Damian 666 & Halloween Scorpio Sky vs. Rising Son Mask vs Mask: Super Dragon vs TARO Revolution Pro - Revolution J-Alive 2002 I don't have a match listing for the 2nd tape. What can I expect from these shows ?

Scottish Wrestling Alliance presents DISSENT November 6th, Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex, Bellshill NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship & 3CW Heavyweight Championship Conscience© Vs Eric 'The Fist' Canyon - Stipulation: The match is to be faught under original NWA rules. 2/3 Falls 20 Minute Time Limit Title can change hands on DQ & Count Out T-Division Championship Match Jonny Milla© Vs William Grange -Jonny beat White Tiger and CJ Hunter in a three way to win the championship and will be looking to show he's the best in the T-Division by retaining, however, after joining The Sinners, Grange will be looking to proove he was the right man for Conscience and the rest of the Sinners to pick. 6-Man Tag Match Total Annihalation (Adam Shame & Hatred) & Chris Charizma Vs Johnny Moss, Sabotage & 'The Piggman' Andy Hogg -Three of Britian's top stars are coming together to stop The Sinners, after the Charizma "switch" on Andy Hogg, and Johnny Moss being screwed out the NWA Scottish Heavyweight Championship I'm sure both will be after some payback.

More matches to be announced soon... -------------------------- Scottish Wrestling Alliance presents CLAN WARS January 05', Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex, Bellshill Eight 4-man teams will compete- Eight team captains who will get a full roster list to draft in the talent they want in their team.

I seen him at Paisley Town Hall, and I HATE the SECC, so I won't be there. He was absolutely outstanding at Paisley, although he didn't play 'Hairdresser On Fire'. I was kinda disappointed about that.

D'Lo is gonna be working in the UK sometime soon, so I'm guessing he's on some bigass tour.

Good job I'm not a teenager then.

Oh, and for me, probably The Rasmus - Guilty.

I quite happily sit and listen to Linkin Park, Nickelback, and probably most of the 'hated' bands. Does that mean I have a shit taste in music ? Only to the people who think it's shit. At the end of the day, these bands MUST have a huge fanbase of people who think they're good.

Being an SWA mark in this whole thing, I was pretty pleased reading about this show.

Morrissey - November Spawned a Monster

The Smiths from what's on the list. Seen Morrissey on Thursday, and he was amazing. Iron Maiden would be my favourite band from the 80s though.

1) The WWE product is better now than it was one year ago. True. 2) The WWE product is better now than it was three years ago. True. 3) The WWE product is better now than it is five years ago. Most definately true. 4) I believe the in-ring product has improved in the last three years. True. 5) I believe the storylines/feuds/angles have improved in the last three years. Undecided. 6) I wish WCW and ECW were still in existence. True. 7) The WWE will have no real competition in the next five years. False. 8) It was smart for the WWE to go to a "less is more" in ring style. Undecided. 9) I believe the RAW brand is superior to Smackdown. Undecided. 10) If I could convince Vince Macmahon to push one guy on either roster to the moon, it would be: Paul London idealy, Dave Batista realistically.

I'd expect ****+ plus. I suppose being a US indy fan not seeing much of Hero outside of the great Punk meetings, then I dunno. I'm from the UK so indy stuff isn't easy to find.

I like the Canadian Destroyer. So I like big moves that look good. Big deal. At the end of the day, I don't like EVERY match to be realistic. Sometimes I like a bit of dumb spot stuff.

So, Ice XVII has the chance to win the main title in SWA when he faces Conscience. The event looks great, with the main event and Eric Canyon v CJ Hunter looking better than the rest, although there's some guys I'm not familiar with.

5. Flogging Molly @ Gig on the Green 2002 - The fact that they only had 35 minutes means I can't actually put this performance higher on the list here. It was a SUPER show from the band though. I had never heard the band before this show, and I am wanting to see them again. 4. Coldplay @ T in the Park 2003 - Fantastic performance from Coldplay. Not the boring and crappy live band that most will probably dismiss them as without even seeing them. Their light shows go well with all of their songs. Certain songs really work live, like 'Yellow', 'In My Place', 'The Scientist' and the awesome 'Clocks'. A great cover of 'Lips Like Sugar' with Echo and the Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch was fantastic. 3. Manic Street Preachers @ Glasgow SECC, December 2002 - On their greatest hits tour. They certainly sound MUCH better live than I thought they would. Before the gig, I was assured that Manics have been awesome live, and I wasn't disappointed. The old stuff actually stood out well here, and 'Suicide Is Painless' and 'Motorcycle Emptiness' rocked. 'A Design For Life' and 'You Stole The Sun From My Heart' were the stand out tracks though. 2. The Flaming Lips @ T in the Park 2003 - WONDERFUL show. Unexpectedly brilliant stuff from another band who I'd never heard before. They started by playing 'Seven Nation Army', as a kinda tribute to The White Stripes, who couldn't make it to the festival. They also sang 'Thank You Jack White For The Fibre Optic Jesus That You Gave Me'. 'Race For The Prize' was pretty majestic. They never played 'Waiting For a Superman' but that was made better by the inclusion of 'She Don't Use Jelly'. The ending song 'Do You Realise' was the best song in the set. Beautiful. 1. Iron Maiden @ Glasgow SECC, December 2003 - Leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the gigs I have seen. Definately the loudest crowd I have been in. The gig was one big sing and jump along from start to finish, which helped quite a bit. 'The Trooper', 'Wrathchild' and 'No More Lies' were among my faves but the REAL greatness started when they played 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'. The list basically ran after that with 'Fear Of The Dark', 'Iron Maiden', 'Number of the Beast', 'Journeyman' and 'Run To The Hills'. Nothing more needs to be said really does it ? The new songs were all amazing live as well of course. Iron Maiden is a band which, if you haven't seen them already, is a MUST see.

IGNORE. Bloody PC.
