h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

on sat 29th of sept. i saw potentially the last terrorvision show i will ever see. i'm not happy about that. the gig was fantastic and the vision went out in what can only be described as spectacular fashion. there will never be another terrorvision so what will us tv fans listen to now in the way of new music. i have two suggestions, the first is system of a down. this is because they do everything terrorvision did. wacky songs about rubbish, big choruses and some of the most infectious songs in the business. the second is a band local to the derby area called boyscout, while system of a down satisifies the need for high energy lampoonary, boyscout are a different animal. they satisfy our need of the mellower simple rock moments that are wholey innovative none the less. they have also written the catchiest bass line in history in "yoda". unfortunatly because of the close mindedness of the BBC i can't tell you the address of the boyscout website. but i will tell you there on peoplesound go to that website and type in boyscout and download the songs. they are songs recorded yonks ago and they've written many more since, one of which, ironically enough, is called middleman. finally british bands need your support, go out and see them, bombard the radio stations tell them british is best. i took for granted that terrorvision were all ready where they were, and they got shafted by people that don't want to know because they don't have personal connections with fred durst or ross robinson. fists of fury was a better song than tequila and they refused to play it. this band genuinly has a chance lets give it them and wipe out false rock.

i didn't know terrorvision split up. no one told me!

still, *sigh* (old voice of experience)bands come, bands go, bit like love affairs really.

you sound a tad upset though, puts me in mind of my daughter when she heard that five were splitting...

Hi

when I mentioned to my nan i was going to see a band that was touring for the last time before they split, she thought i was going to see five. I set her straight in the nicest possible way.

It does seem quite silly getting so upset. but when bands get shafted like that, and they have had such an effect on some of your most formative years, i have a right to be upset.

hey-ho life goes on. i've just got to wait for the reunion tour now

you could always start a tribute band

is your nan a big five fan then?

I don't have the talent to form terrorvision tribute band. the only thing i've got is the accent. I do have the talent to form a five tribute though, i'd make quite a good J (why do i know his name), he's a yorkshire man as well. apart from me looking like the back end of a bus i can dance like a drunk so i should be alright, and the singing is done by a machine anyway.

My nan's on of those people that believe if it's not in the popular press, it's not true or it's not worth the time, bless her.
