What's always struck me about their Husker Du cover is how "live" its recorded but there appears to be barely any guitar in the mix, the bass is LOUD The most overpowering the bass has ever been when played together in a Green Day mix.

Could it be that they recorded Don't Wanna Know If You Are Lonely completely raw with 1 mic and didn't mix it? A good mic that is but the song doesn't sound mixed.

I see alot of Instagram reels and TikToks being nostalgic for Bam in the 2000s, it has me wondering do you think Bam changed/influenced culture and fashion in the 2000s?

The recent announcement is still being billed as M72, I thought they would have changed the name and colour of the stage by 2027 but 4 years into the album and they're still keeping the name and theme.

Anyone else love Bob Rock as a personality?

All production aside he seems like a really cool dude.

The sort of guy who's the cool boss at work, he'll get his team to work their ass off and bust their balls, but ultimately you like him and he makes you laugh and is great to go for a few beers after work with haha.

His work ethic is great and he gives as much roasting as he takes with the Metallica boys. Seems to not only be the guy they're paying to produce the record but a great friend too, they never fell out with him because there was always a respect and an end goal.

Bob Rock is a cool dude!

It had a music video which tells me they were serious about releasing it as a single but then it wasn't released until long after and no single.

Changed their mind and release Christmas Time as a single instead?

Was it ever explained?

Its a real shame because Friday Night would've been a MASSIVE hit!

I'll believe it when I see it but doing a month of outdoor shows through the month the UK gets rainy and dark again seems it'll be an odd choice.

It says "21 years" which is when he left Busted and launched Fightstar 21 years ago in 2005.

Therefore the song is about how much shit he took for doing Fightstar in the wake of Busted?

I remember as a kid the Ancient Mew was like the holy grail of Pokemon cards, rhis mythical unobtainable card only very few people had.

Then the Pokemon 2000 movie gave them away with tickets and it became conmon.

Am I misremembering this or was Ancient Mew once very rare and the holy grail of Pokemon cards?

When it was announced that Chris Cornell was doing the Casino Royale theme Audioslave were still together and still hugely successful coming off the back of Out Of Exile and Revelations being released around the time of the Bond film in 2006.

At the tine I was always confused why Chris had the offer to do it solo instead of Audioslave, Chris hadn't released solo music since 1999 and Audioslave were riding high.

I do wonder if Chris DECIDED to do it as a solo artist or if he was asked directly and Audioslave were left out of the conversation. Audioslave split very shortly after You Know My Name was released which makes me think Chris was already distancing from the band and didn't have long term plans with them, he released his next solo album Carry On just a few months later so I assume he was already making his exit plan from Audioslave and return to solo without wasting much time.

Hypothetically if The Beatles stayed together until 1980 and their 70s output was made up of their best solo work we know but released as Beatles albums, where would they have peaked and where would they have fallen off songwriting wise?

I personally think based on their solo work that 1970-1973 they would have released several best albums of their career, to rival their best 60s work.

After 1973 I think we'd be complaining they're not as good anymore and claim 1962-1973 was their prime as songwriters.

Megadeth have some crazy riffs, but whihc is the craziest to you?

Not BEST riff, not COOLEST riff, the CRAZIEST!

For me it's Headcrusher intro riff, that still sounds crazy to me.
