I think he's pretty military medium imho. Decent club player but doesn't really doing anything outstanding.

Apparently Exter are also in big trouble. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. They will need to start fresh again.

Re: Bands you are off to see live

I've only ever had one chance to see Metallica live, at Rock Am Ring in 2008. It was pissing down with rain and we couldn't get anywhere near the stage, so me and missus went back to our tent instead.

The wind meant we got to listen to their set, crystal clear and dry. It was tremendous :lol:
