Was quite sad Dave from GWAR passed. I'd hoped to catch them live when we moved here. I confess I didn't know much about Avail before getting here, but luckily there are still a few decent DJs on the air willing to educate a fellow.

Dave was a really nice guy and Gwar have always been great

Telling someone their music is shite is like telling them there wife is ugly, it won't achieve anything. I don't like the music but enjoyed the video. He's not posted it for a music review ffs.

This, no such thing as bad music, just music you don't like.

They from Glenrothes?

I saw Gwar at the Venu in the late eighties. They sprayed the crowd with strawbery flavoured blood and beheadded an american tourist on stage. Happy days.

Aye they were. Best Scottish punk band in last 25 years and dear friends of mine. Apart from the bassist Dave. He was a bit of a torn faced disaster

First times I went to The Venue it was to see a local band from Queensferry / Kirkliston who played there quite a few times they were called The Shattered Family must have been mid 80s. Sure The Venue was actually called The Jailhouse at the time.

Loved them back in the 'We Care a Lot', 'Epic' early days.  Haven't really kept tabs on them but will check out the new album.

[Stevesee]

**** aye! Pure and Wave on alternate fridays, u.f.o. before that. Was mates with the Sativa guys at wee red bar then later the vaults. They went from Metal band "the leperous allsorts" to hardcore roterdam. Mandonna style reinvention!

[queensferryjambo]

Didn't Chris Marshall bassist from The Shattered Family join the Exploited briefly? Think you told me some story years ago about an incident on The Forth Bridge that put him off staying - or convinced him to leave

 

My memory isn't so great so could be wrong.

Where was the Venue? Think I might've seen the Macc Lads there. Walking down the Royal Mile, turned left then right at the bottom of the street, would that be right?
