If this is accurate, it's a bit of an eye opener!

I've seen this before and I can't believe that Finland has so many per million, especially compared to Sweden which is famous for Metal. What do I know though?

Done some mäths;

It works out, roughly, that UK has around 4000 metal bands, the same with Sweden and Finland has around 3500.

Iceland has 108 :lol:

Metallica to premiere new song 'Atlas, Rise!' via Halloween mask - Planet Rock

...And we all know what will happen when someone puts the mask on, don't we!

It's a bit bollocks isn't it?

There clearly aren't so many metal bands especially in Finland. According to Wiki there's 85. Some nof them are no longer active. Like Hanoi Rocks.

Although you can't trust Wiki because they don't even list Him. Idiots!

I've been trying to spot myself in the crowd. No luck so far...
Can't wait for this blu ray/CDs in November. Incredible night.

It seems that the latest band to reform are L. A. Guns, featuring Phil Lewis and Tracii Guns, and they have announced a UK tour:

Friday 10 March – Belfast, Limelight 2
Saturday 11 March – HRH AOR
Sunday 12 March – Swansea, Scene Club
Wednesday 15 March – Buckley, Tivoli
Thursday 16 March – Bristol, Bierkeller
Friday 17 March – Basingstoke, Stage
Saturday 18 March – Wolverhampton, Civic Hall
Sunday 19 March – Chester, Live Rooms
Monday 20 March – Doncaster, Diamond Live
Wednesday 22 March – Sheffield, O2 Academy
Friday 24 March – Glasgow, O2 Academy
Saturday 25 March – London, O2 Academy

Tickets for Wolverhampton are bloody cheap (£20.25 [Incl admin fee] + £2.55 fulfilment fee per order), but it seems that the venue in Basingstoke has closed down, so presumably this show has been cancelled

LA Guns never stopped. I've got albums throughout their career. It's only Tracii Guns who's back in the band again. I've got their last album Hollywood Forever from 2012. Admittedly they aren't exactly prolific at recording but they have never stopped touring.
