Magnum as in '70's prog rockers' Magnum? I saw them in Bolton around 1995.

They where fantastic but showing their age a bit then, so god knows what they'll be like now (there were some proper Spinal Tap moments where the giant 'mood' fan at the side of the stage was blowing some of the comb overs/comb forwards hair back from balding heads when I saw them).

Let me know how they were when you see them.

Corey Taylor at Leeds Academy this evening doing a set which included Slipknot and Stone Sour songs along with material from his recent two albums.

Coming up on Saturday ... Nottingham Rock City ... Fozzy supported by The Hot Damn! and Pistols At Dawn.

Expectations aren't too high but hoping for a good evening.

It's a really strange one with Fozzy. Musically I like what they sound like but vocally it's borderline karaoke with Chris Jericho being supported with his vocals 95% of the time.

Alestorm, Korpiklaani & Heidevolk this evening in Leeds. If I'm being honest I'm only bothered about Alestorm although there are a couple of Korpiklaani tracks I like.

Only ended up seeing Alestorm but they were very good.

Scottish Pirate Metal ... what's not to like
