I've actually just expressed my own personal opinion, on my weblog. I didn't see the KKKK Kerrang! reviews (live or studio) and while I disagree with Zero Tolerance's opinion that Mendeed are the "future of British metal" I respect your fondness for them. Personally they didn't win me over on the night that I saw them live, in a way that other live bands have (eg Wolfsbane, HateBreed). I love metal -- but Mendeed just didn't do it for me on the night. A lot of noise and shouting, in my opinion. Very "stock" as Lars Ulrich might say. Didn't grab me. Didn't like it. But you do -- which is great. Enjoy them. What have I ‘actually’ achieved?

Perhaps my age showing! I remember going to see "Richie Blackmore's Rainbow" show back in the 80's, backed by Rose Tattoo - an Australian "Noise Band" (my term). The latter were so loud - or their amps set up so wrongly for the size of hall - that my ears were ringing painfully by the end and I couldn't hear (truely!) the main act. After years of going to many rock concerts I decided that a good stereo system at home is much better. Only a couple of groups sounded as good live as on LP/CD - Status Quo and Alice Cooper..... Sound like an old fogie don't I? Have to say I didn’t understand that last paragraph!!?? Perhaps my age showing!
