One of the most under-rated English bands of the '90s IMHO

I really only picked up on them because I saw them support Earth Crisis and Turmoil at the LA2 back in the day. I forgot about them until I picked up 'Venom' in a second hand record store about 10 years later!

started out with all kinds of st before getting a `74 fender strat.cracking guitar but no weight to the sound so i stuck a dimarzio humbucker on the back to beef it up a bit.slight improvement but nowhere near what i wanted for heavy stuff so got a gibson les paul.fking great piece of kit and i also have that guitar to this day.i could tune right down to c sharp before it sounded too "loose".gibson for heavy work and fender for more finger tappy type playing.jcm 900 marshall head and 2x marshall 12 cabinets with a zoom floor bank of effects pedals.
acoustic i'm a takamine man with a 6 and 12 string.also got an old unnamed flamenco but i can't play like those guys!!

Yhea I've got a strat copy which like you say has a honkey, jangley sound. I've also got a fat strat, it's an '80 Aria Pro. I know what you mean about Les Pauls - I've got a couple of Gordon Smith's a Gypsy and a Graduate they are beautiful guitars and play easily as well as a custom shop Gibson http://www.gordonsmithguitars.com/ Both are far too good of a guitar for a cack handed player like me. The owner of Gordon Smith, makes them by hand in Manchester I always intended to fit a pearly gates to the bridge on mine.
I've also still got my first guitar it's an 80's Hondo II which came with a dimarzio considering it was a cheap Korean made instrument. I agree the dimarzio is a great addition to a guitar - even that cheap hondo sounds crunchy and powerful.

For an amp I just have a little frontman amp and a BOSS distortion pedal I tend to run stuff through the mac for effects nowadays, although I have a pod 1 which I can use with headphones etc. I did have a nice Laney but it was so loud the neighbors would have ended up complaining.

Takamine guitars are fantastic, I tried a few of those out at the NEC music live, I also used to drive up to the guitar show held at the UMIST in Manchester with my late father in law who was an awesome guitarist, most of the good guitars I own are passed on from him. It was a good show for the cheap second hand guitars/spares and the very cheap pie and mash in the canteen, I found the NEC started getting quite pricey and it was hard to haggle a price with the retailers.
Acoustic wise I've just sold my 60's Eko as I have a better condition one now, I'd love a nice old 40's Martin if I ever earn enough. Guitars are nice things to have I have around 7 guitars but doubt I'd actually sell any of them. You could just go on and on buying guitars imo - seven string then an 8 string, a couple of unusual ones like a Bond or a synth guitar, steel guitar then a few Bass's....

going to see them tomorrow at the Shoreditch Festival!

I love the music, but for me it's a real shame it's let down by a pretty poor singer.

stampin' ground are way old.we supported them in 96 or 97 when they played in liverpool.that trc are fking hilarious!!!it's like a cheesy lock stock and two smoking barrells cockney fest with all the trimmings.except they are playing music like hatebreed !!!nice post!

Lots of good stuff on this thread, both old and new. Interesting to see the differences of taste in terms of what people think "heavy" sounds like. For me, it's all about doom riffs that vibrate the flat, maybe with a bit of old school grindcore thrown in for good measure, yet others love clarity and crispness. Don't find Black Metal "heavy" as such, although it works in different ways, especially the stuff that isn't purely blastbeats the whole time (never a fan of Marduk, for example). I'll lob up a load more links when I'm at home, as YouTube est interdit at the office. Can't remember what I've posted already, but we definitely need some Unearthly Trance, Agalloch, Nightstick, Craft, Electric Wizard and Weedeater :-)

Out of interest, anyone else here got the most recent Darkthrone?

[tuscaneer]

Yeah it's nice to see someone doing something a bit different, I always think that if The Streets had collaborated with Knuckledust it would sound similar to TRC!

^^^^at 0.45....that is fking heavy to me!!

or perhaps..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYDYpiVTJqU
