Here in the UK we seem to be going through another Thrash Metal revolution when it comes to small underground bands (Headless Cross, Amenti, Pitiful Reign, Evile etc), so you never know, we might get something decent out of it that gets atleast semi-popular.
Haha, gonna be seeing Pete Ways (UFO bassist) other band on Thursday (Waysted), turns out the vocalist of Waysted is the owner of my local. Small world.
