Could well be the beginning of my mid-life crisis but I'm dusting down my album collection, NOT playing Rush and cranking up the hardest ROCK in my collection.
Pantera's VDOPower is providing much enjoyment (saw them in 1990!) as are various offerings from Fear Factory, Machine Head and early Korn.
What do you play when delving into the extreme?
ps: not the most extreme of choices but enough for me.
Okay, this isn't extreme now, but it once was. I go for the Black Sabbath. The early stuff with John, when I want something hard. May sound strange, but a good dose of old Sabbath cheers me right up when I am down like nothing else will. A little The Wizard, a bit of After Forever, some Hand of Doom, oh! and some Laguna Sunrise (definitely NOT extreme, sorry) just ged me right back on track.

Maybe listening to some of the stuff Sabbath did in the early days makes you realise things ain't so bad.

Okay, I see what you mean. Glad I didn't duct tape ya!
Actually, this may sound strange, but the sound of their music really does brighten me. If I hear it, or if I ged to jam it wif H, it just does something that brings me up! I swear it is that flatted fifth thing they do so much, but I dont' know for sure if that is it; I think there is more to it.
IF they did ban the song for that reason, they are more wacked in my home state than I thought!
I don't usually put anything really heavy on when I'm in a bad mood - I usually stick to something like the Kinks or The Small Faces. They usually put a smile on my face.

I've heard numerous mentions in various places about Duct Tape. Is it that silver, cloth tape, beloved by every Roadie in the world, that we in Britain call Gaffa Tape?

Stick around, Slaine. You will see duct tape used for many, shall I say, interesting things. Do not be frightened. But be afraid, be very afraid.
