Twang mate what's the situation with taking photos at the gigs?
Can I bring the DSLR or should I leave it at home?
Hmmmmmm.
I really need to work on this.
WW, got any spare potions?
Quote from: "MikeEvs"Twang mate what's the situation with taking photos at the gigs?

Well, the best thing is to ask Jem. I and the venue are more than happy. In fact as long as it's fine with the artists we have no restrictions. APART from video cameras.
It is NOT in the best interests of the band or artists that footage is leaked onto You Tube & other related sites. I strongly believe that the artist should be in full control of their art & output. This can and will damage the artists.
Still photos are fine with me. In fact I'd like copies for our web site. Only if it's cool with the Frost* boys.
There that's that sorted then. :D

Cheers Twang I'm sure Jem won't have a problem as he loved the photos I took at their gig at the Point in Cardiff. JM knows me as The Reasoning's official photographer so I'm sure he won't have a problem with me photographing It Bites, your are of course welcome to a few for your website :)
No objections from me yer honour.
I've got to say, serious pats on the back to Twang, Mick and the entire Peel Crew for creating such a brilliant weekend. And indeed for making The Peel such a cult venue now for prog. I know it's utterly ball breaking for you all as well, but you still do it week in week out. Muchos kudos.
If there was a CRS award for services to prog, you guys would win it hands down. :D
Quote from: "Jem"No objections from me yer honour.
Cheers Jem :D
Amazing Mr. Twang - thank you for the great effort!!
I think I know this already, but the age rules at The Peel I assume is 18+ only? with no let up for Xmas??
It's 16+ with proof of ID for the less than 18.
Quote from: "Pedro"It's 16+ with proof of ID for the less than 18.
Thanks Pedders, I thought I'd seen that somewhere... but a certain young Frostette wanted me to make
absolutely sure!.. Hmmm.. CRS awards... :idea: may be an idea for a christmas prezzy!! :D
Quote from: "Pedro"It's 16+ with proof of ID for the less than 18.
Only another 10 years for Pygmy Hippo then :roll:
I've just realised I'm not going to be able to listen to the radio show on Friday because I'll be in London and don't have internet access in my hotel room I think :( . Going to see Paul Gilbert at the Astoria 2 later that day.
Well MikeEvs, if I were The Reasoning's appointed photographer I would only bother to take photographs of that bird. Phwoar.
:twisted:
If you were The Reasoning's appointed photographer you have nicked my job :lol: and if I only took photos of Rachel the rest of the band would not be too pleased with my efforts I learned this very early on I still have Matt saying "BAND SHOTS!" in my head :lol:
Quote from: "gelu"Well MikeEvs, if I were The Reasoning's appointed photographer I would only bother to take photographs of that bird. Phwoar.
:twisted:
Isn't "phwoar" such a top word :mrgreen:
Are you sure Matt wasn't saying "banned"? :twisted:
Quote from: "Pedro"Are you sure Matt wasn't saying "banned"? :twisted:
Trust me he was very clear that it was "BAND SHOTS" he wanted :roll:
Show starts in 20 minutes right? I'm way over on the east coast in canada so with the time zones I'm never quite sure what time it is in england.

Yes thats right :D

I missed the start but have managed to find a wifi connection in my hotel in London so am listening now
Oooh, remember to turn the amp down in a few seconds folks! Just when it fades out!!!!
Told you so.
This is 'Welcome to Nowhere' btw.
Thought so :lol: I was poised for that bit after reading your earlier post
But will we get 'Dear Dead Days'? Good lord that's a track...
Quote from: "tomskerous"But will we get 'Dear Dead Days'? Good lord that's a track...
Probably after I've left my hotel, meeting a friend at 6 so will have to leave before the end of the show :(
Just at the end now - really enjoyed that show.
Dear Dead Days the standout for me.
But, how pissed is/was Mitchell?!?!

Seems that you were right... Poor you.
Jem is wrapping up videoing the DJ and generally arsing about. Should be good content for a further Frosties video blog.
Nice one Jem and Johhny.
This weekend really is shaping up to be as good as Summer's End!

ok this is one of those times where I have to ask, do you mean he was angry or drunk? I can never tell
Ok, so did any souls out there end up recording this?
Would have thought you guys would be all over this by now! :)
I too would like to know if there's a recording of this...
+1.
I caught about 20 minutes.
Then I had to catch a train to Cardiff for the rugby. And the rest of the day / night turned in to soap-opera. Concluding with a "mate" visiting Cardiif A&E with a HUGE cut in his head and concussion. Got home at 6am Saturday with a very empty wallet.
Mates, ehhh.
+1 as well - I missed the whole thing :cry:
Don't Panic Capt Mannering!!! The show will be sent to Jem very soon. I believe the first interview we did 2 yrs ago is being put up on the FROST* site as well as Fridays. ;)
Lovely! Thank you! (:-D
I have just been informed that the show with Jem & John a couple of weeks ago is an official Record Breaker! It broke all records for listener figures.
Bow down XFM, Virgin, Craptial, Kerrap Radio, Planet Rock, Absolute & the Beeb!! Bow Down!!!!!!! :D
I have been given a copy of the RECORD BREAKING 3 hr show. This will be given to Jem who can do whatever he wishes with it. Ya know I actually feel like I've achieved something this year.
Thanks to Jem & John and most of all You lot, you Fantastic Frosties*, converted Emo's, Prog & Metal Fans Worldwide who shocked the music media with the amount of hits.
It is industry standard apparently that people listen to an averege of 20 mins. This was blown right out of the water with a massive 2-3hrs of constant listening.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! :D :D :D
Excellent news congrats Twang :D
That's wonderful, Twang, and it was a great show! (:-)
Really enjoyed the show, congrats! :D

Ah, so he wasn't entirely sober, then?
I've not heard this show, is there a way to hear it after the fact? I see there's podcasts of other shows, but not the one I want... :(
Quote from: "catherine"Ah, so he wasn't entirely sober, then?
I can see that some on the forum might see me as casting some negative vibes about here regarding JM, so I wanted to clear up that this is certainly not the case at all. His performance on the Total Rock session was entertainment personified.
But in my opinion, he'd certainly been on the same tablets as Kerry Katona, let me put it that way.

JM was a Star!! The show was recorded and as stated somewhere or other on this fine forum will made available to Jem. :D

it was just really really good! the forum bit was fun too!x
Forum bit? I only caught the last 20 minutes or so with JM banging on about that Topic bar. :(
there was a forum on teh total rock website that had various conversations going on during the show. it was funny.
You mean the chat room?
It was extra-funny because all of the regulars were so completely bamboozled by the sudden Invasion of the Frost*ies. THey really didn't know what to make of us :mrgreen:

I'll tell you what, as it's Christmas and i want to do everything in my power to make this Christmas Bash the ultimate FROST* extravaganza possible!
I will put the Broadcast on in the middle/Pool bar from 5.00pm. Then, you can have a drinkie & listen to the legendary Record Breaking broadcast. :D
Hows that then. Good Game, Good Game. :lol:
Ambassador, you are really spoiling us!
Yay! Just add biscuits!
Quote from: "RacingHippo"Yay! Just add biscuits!
Oh you'll get bikkies.
That's it... I'm deffo bringing some biccies to share around. :D :D
Trying not to resurrect an old thread here but did anyone get a recording of the TotalRock interview? I sadly never got to hear it :cry:
There were plans to have it in the toys section of the old site but it never happened I'm sure the recording still exists somewhere
