Music.

in Hobbies and interests

What type of music does everyone like? My main genre of interest is rock and heavy metal, but I also have a taste for a wide range of other genres. No rap music though. Been to several concerts in my lifetime and first concert was the Gary Moore After the War tour way back in 1989. I've also seen War of The Worlds performed live with Jeff Wayne conducting the orchestra and Liam Neeson as the narrator. One of my all time favourite gigs was when I got to Jean Michel-Jarre perform live in Cardiff.

Just listening to a bit of Metallica. Never got into them in my youth, but I've now got 'Enter Sandman' with its chugging guitar riff and heavy bass line thundering away. Rock on!

What a tune. The perfect song for such a powerful ending (Breaking Bad)...

My musical tastes are quite eclectic, I don't really have a favourite band, and going to live gigs has always been a bloody nightmare for me (although I'm going to see Sleeper in October, by myself, which will be a test, but it's a small intimate affair, so hopefully won't be too overwhelming!). I like what some would call goth music, but I also enjoy 90s rock (grunge, indie, alternate - Foo Fighters, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins), film scores, britpop (Blur); 90s music in general really.. More than happy to share my Spotify playlists, try these for finding some different music, or getting to know me.

Great news about the gig Matt, I know what you mean about it being difficult. We recently saw The Lumineers at Cardiff Castle, accessibility tickets are very good. Smaller gigs are good, we experienced this when we saw Feeder in 2017. It was much less intense.

I used to be a huge Foo fan, even my car reg has Foo in it lol. Not so much now since Taylor, but we have got accessibility tickets to see them next year. Have you seen them before?

Right now, today, I need calm so it’s The War on Drugs for me today. So soothing. Thanks for sharing your playlists too, I’ll take a look.

The War on Drugs

The War on Drugs are so underrated. They are mine and Jon's favourite band, right up there with Rush. They are absolutely stunning.

Jon has seen them live before, I haven't yet. We've only just realised that they have just finished touring here (absolutely gutted we missed them). They are definitely top of the 'bands to see' list for me.

If you haven't heard of them, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Here is a link for their Glastonbury set last weekend:
