He got 22 appearances in 95/96 and I just remember him being bullshit for all of them. Given that we had Maddix and Macca, I don't know why Wilkins insisted on playing him.
Also, POTY for 97/98 which wasn't exactly a vintage year for us. Finished 21st (thanks to Jamie Pollock) and legitimately our best player that season might have been Mark Kennedy on loan (for 8 games).
I think Usyk pieces him up with his speed. I'm usually loathe to bet against Fury and, to be fair to him, he's in a lot better shape than he was for the Ngannou fight but I think his age and the way he lives between fight camps will ultimately hurt him.
His dad needs to piss off. He's an embarrassment. That guy he headbutted looked to be like a third of his age. And Fury came off worse for it. Fking chief.
- I'm definitely looking for a mix of things. I like stuff that is heavy, very heavy. But if it's just all bludgeon and speed then it gets dull super fast. I like a lot of Napalm Death but it's usually because there will be a little hook in there. You still need melody.
- a degree of technique, originality or cleverness. Again, technique in and of itself is pretty much worthless to me but if it can be used to pull out some other element, then it elevates a song. That's why I like quite a bit of rap music, because there's sometimes some real skill or clever lyricism going on.
- definitely like a bit of attitude and honesty. Singing about some stuff that matters. Feeling it and making the listener feel it.
What I Don't Like.
- any guitarist who plays in a bullshit commercial band. Like you've learned to play guitar that means you grew up listening to good guitarists. You might have grown up listening to Hendrix or whoever. And then you're the guitarist in Wet Wet Wet. What a worthless c*nt you'd have to be.
- music that has no real emotional weight behind it. Anything too obvious. Be it rap that's just about money and "bitches" or rock that's just about fast cars and partying. Or pop that's just about banalities. Or stuff like ABBA. Just fking toilet music.
- musicians who fking love themselves. Sting, Bono etc. C*nts. Robbie Williams. F**king SHIT. That other c*nt. Looks like Simply Red. Ed Sheeran that's it. Why you got sleeve tattoos like you're the bassist out of Sick of it All or something. You write SHIT you posh boy little ponce.
- bands who are clearly adapting to be popular rather than actually evolving. Take all those 'hard rock' bands who all had a ballad in the charts. I remember one of them, it might have been Mr Big, justifying it by saying 'we weren't going to release ['To Be With You' probably] because all the other bands were releasing ballads and we didn't want to do the same but then decided to do it because we're going to do whatever we want to do.' Oh how very rock and roll. Song was shit. Same with Extreme and 'More Than Words.'
- see also: pop punk bands. That fking drummer in Blink 182. Acts like he's the most punk guy on the planet, puts out pop music. Pop Punk isn't Punk, it's Pop. Sometimes there's a good song from it, I'm not hating them. But what are you tatted up for? Why are you shouting?
Mrs Bluce bought me some Gotoh locking tuners last year. I put them on a Harley Benton PRS copy but it was a PIECE OF SHIT. So I took them off (CHORE) and sold it (CHORE but not too bad as even though it was through Wigan, the guy was local).
Anyway, I bought an Ibanez AS53 (essentially a 335 copy but in a satin black finish) and it's become my go to guitar so I finally put the new tuners on it. Man, I can't go back to normal tuners now. Everything feels more stable and string changes are so much easier. You don't even really need to stretch them in. I put them on, tuned them, played for ten mins, re-tuned, left it over night and now they're solid as anything.
I did use some stuff called Big Bends Nut Sauce on the nut. It lubricates things and stops strings get snagged. Is meant to help with tuning stability also.
I know he's a nice guy and all that but it includes Eze. I'm sick of hearing about how well he's doing. Once Palace sell him and we get a cut of that, he'll be as irrelevant to me as any other player.
Why am I this way?
Well, despite going to some QPR games as a kid, my first season as a willing volunteer was 95/96. So I saw Trevor Sinclair tearing things up for us and generally being amazing (gutted I missed the Sinton era though). Anyway, he got sold for basically some Tesco Value magic beans and two of West Ham's worst players.
That's when I knew that we could never have nice things.
