Re: Re: HW: Arrghhhh

[Mark Von Bargen]

To be honest, my previous post covers my opinion of the show - a missed opportunity. In terms of facts; are they those irrelevant items that get in the way of tabloid journalism.
No new HW footage that I can recall
Some archive MH footage that I had not seen before but I am not an avid MH watcher.
Some incidental footage of Lemmy from the 70's with a full (but not very impressive) beard.

Best bit for me was Vic Reeves describing the 'shock hit single' Silver Machine. This is noot verbatim.
Vic - this synthesiser thing was new; nobody else had it.
Vic - it comes in 'wooooooosh, wiiiiiiish, weeeeeeey - all sorts of noises like that while Vic makes 'shapes' with one of his arms. He looked pretty sober as well. Worth seeing the program for that, a couple of decent bits from Mark Radcliffe and the sheer ineptitude of many of the 'heavy metal heroes', and, even worse, the fans who were interviewed. Gotta say, a good proportion was cringeworthy in the extreme. Tell you what, tho. Never realised Cronos of Venom was such a genuinely funny man. His story about his school running a denim jacket embroidery competition was hilarious. At War With Satan, indeed!

Steve,

Thats bad luck man... may I join you in your sorrow.

I too missed this program. I was aware of the program being on, but in
my tired state last night getting back home 10:30pm, I completly forgot
and straight to bed...
I knew I had to be home by 10:30, but didn't question myself as to why!!!!

imagine my digust upon getting to work this morning and my team all
saying what a great program it, some thanked me for telling themit was
on, one even commented on the fact he didn't know Lemmy was in the band
( he's a jamiroqui fan )....... the bastards were even singing silver
machine  when I came in to the office..... Gutted of bristol <G>


ho hum, it sound like the stuff they showed on the Channel four program
so no new material, which would have been a real bummer.

regards
Iain
