    Annihilator, St Lukes, Glasgow, 13/10/19

    New venue for me. I like it. Right next to the Barrowlands(Where there was a huge queue of older clientel getting ready for Midve Ure) A converted church round the corner i found myself in

    I saw Annihilator a few years back and they were supported by a quality band called Archer. Same support tonight, but are now called Archer Nation. Decent. Like Megadeth but not like Megadeth if that makes sense. F@cking quality band anyway.

    Annihilator are f@cking quality live. Tight as f@ck and they look like they have really good fun doing it. Jeff Waters is a great frontman. 53 he said he was, he doesnt look it at all. He seem like a really down to earth dude. Classics like "Phantasmogoria", "King of the Kill" "Welcome to your Death" in there. No "Alison Hell" as they ran out of time. Couple of new tunes from their upcoming album which were f@cking rocking.

    Good venue, good bands, horrific weather

    Have you ever watched the Roadrunner United making of? Reckon it would be right up your street. Anyway, there’s a bit in it where Waters is shredding, about 17 mins in.

    I ended up watching it last night, hadn't seen it for years. It was a cool idea for an album and some of the tracks are really good!

    About 10 - 15 minutes, I'm sure you'll cope . He is in the studio when Waters is shredding.

    Aye i noticed him. He said something along the lines of "thats why im not a good guitarist" after Jeff creates a blur with his fingers.

    Read up a bit on Jeff the last few days. Lost his wife to cancer right after their first kid was born and he was away to pack it all in to be a dad. Glad he didnt. Poor dude.
