Ah right. Can't believe Metallica aren't liked & no Slipknot mentioned yet either. Dave & Floyd are great but the singing ruins the guitaring for me. Iron Maiden & Rammstein are awesome live too.
Doesn't anyone listen to good ol' Hank Marvin & The Shadows? Damn lol

The delightful young lady from the business banking centre who used to look after me told me one Monday morning that she'd met her heroes and been to the after-show with the band on the Saturday evening.

I asked her which band - bearing in mind that she came across as a Sound of Music type...

'Sacred Mother Tongue', she told me. I'd never heard of them so once the call ended with me remaining non-committal I went in search of them.

Ask Google. I thought the lead singer was being electrocuted. Seems there's no accounting for taste.

North eastern-raised guitarist Mr Knopfler has a track called 'Bluebird' on his album Privateering.
Talking of north-eastern muso's. I recently stood in a queue in a shop in Grasmere behind Gordon Sumner. I think he was getting a bottle of milk. Even international rock megastars need a brew. I was about to mention that I didn't much care for his Elizabethan Lute music album, but he was away like willo the wisp in the biggest 4x4 you've ever seen. Robert Plant used to drink in my local here in Birmingham - and so did Benny off Crossroads. The jukebox used to be filled with Zeppelin, Eddie & the Hotrods and another Brummie muso, Joan Armatrading, payed so loud it used to cause ripples in your pint. Sadly it is now part of a chain playing tastefully muted muzak - like the lift scene out of Blues Brothers. Happy days.

As far as I know, Sting's had a house there for many years. The last time I stayed in Grasmere, which was nine years ago, he had already been a "local" for some time.

Wordsworth thought Grasmere the finest place in God's Kingdom, so a man with his pick of places to spend his time could do worse.

I'd sooner listen to John die-grinding all day, though now I think of it, it's much the same sound isn't it?

Only if you grind thin 316 stainless...

Then I'm sure to be delighted to find out that Iron Maiden have a new album entitled "The Book Of Souls" which is out in September!!

I tried these heathens with some Foo Fighters etc and all I got was abuse

[Renegadenemo]

Anyone who makes unnecessary noise gets abuse.

[Richie]

Foo fighters are good.

My playlist usually includes

Foo fighters
Marillion
Direstraites
U2
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Your Vegas (Very U2 influenced band) http://youtu.be/xW1RTB9VMuw

To list but a few ! I do like Metallica but like Steve Vai I can only listen for so long before having to switch it off.

My African Grey is heavily into Miles Davis (Kind of Blue), Elvis Costello, Rachmaninov (Prelude in C sharp minor, Op 3 No 2) and Jack White / White Stripes.
Not sure she'd like the sound of a die grinder.

My missus regards Jack White as unnecessary noise. She's more into Chris deBurgh and Collabro.
I prefer die grinders.
