@spinal_bap @HarrySword Can't say I have, but impressed at the charity work they do for their amphibian overlords

[Dan Franklin @DigitalDanSolo]

@MauditePart Merci beaucoup!🤘

Feature writer Dan Franklin has an important exchange with clown in London, where the @Slipknot creative takes inventory of the last 25 years https://t.co/cQ57P8zUum

Moana nightmare fuel at the O2 before Slipknot.

[Dan Franklin @DigitalDanSolo]

@samvega_pasada Listened to it once through. Vocals are awesome, really cool to have what they do with 'The Chosen Few' captured on tape. Could be a *little bit* bassier, but I haven't listened on vinyl/CD yet.

Slipknot played Leeds tonight.
My son, when he was 11, was the key mover for them being booked onto TFI Friday for their sensational UK debut.
They adopted him while here.

25 years ago tonight, @slipknot crushed the London Astoria (RIP) at their first-ever show outside the states. I spoke to @Mynetaur of Kill II This, who supported them that night, about how it all went down: https://t.co/p906FKAwJc

@spinal_bap @HarrySword @JahDuran @doomedparade Nice! I assume there's a Vol. 2 but not going to hold my breath!

[Dan Franklin @DigitalDanSolo]

@HarrySword @JahDuran @spinal_bap @doomedparade Oh and while we're all here - there's that basement 'live' Electric Wizard album out tomorrow. I haven't heard it yet. Only took them four years to release it 😵‍💫

[Dan Franklin @DigitalDanSolo]

@HarrySword @JahDuran @spinal_bap @doomedparade Thanks Harry! What a bloody great cover. Will dive in under cover of darkness this evening

This is very cool... we've teamed up with the Verdant team for their Beer & Book Club, where every other month you'll get a book + mix of 6 great beers. The perfect combination!

Kicking off with their My Life in Beer essay collection, get involved ➡️ https://t.co/y6PJPxnENl

@HarrySword Love the hypothesis. It's plausible too - especially his solo incursion into wartime Sarajevo.

OTD 26 years ago, Tommy Vance sledges Slayer on an open-top tourist bus before the last of three gigs at the Astoria. Hilarious archive which also includes a short interview with the greatest bouncer ever - Neville, head of security at the Astoria (38.57) https://t.co/vzfzWbBwvc

@ANCIIENTS talk about the long, hard road to their heavy, heady and heartfelt new album 'Beyond the Reach of the Sun'. @KNOTFEST @DigitalDanSolo

@d_whitehouse Finished it 5 mins ago - very moving, and also deeply unsettling. Agree 100%
