Mudhoney - far better than Nirvana ever were.

I prefer Napalm Death's 1 second song You Suffer :lol: Beat me to it. Saw them with Bolt Thrower and Carcass in '86 (?). :thumbup: Saw them slightly later. Hardcore Holocaust: Peel Sessions is an excellent album which inlcudes along with Napal Death and Bolt Thrower: Stupids, Electro Hippies, Extre...

Why did he do such an easy dive??? Everyone does easy dives - just different order. That was Tom's best judged dive. Wrong - there are six types of dive that they all have to do in the order/ tariff of their choosing. The crazy mexicans tend to go for the high risk/ high tariff dives. When Daley wo...
