My personal favourite guitar solo ever, starting at 4:45:

I don't agree that it is naive to say that Russian lives are considered cheap by the Russian state, they have expended a great many of them for relatively little gain. The NYT article is a fascinating and worthwhile read, the timing is interesting as I was just this morning reading an...

I must disagree here to an extent and say that I believe these two issues are very much linked to one another. The US negotiation strategy is to my mind flawed in the sense that Trump has painted himself into a corner in the election campaign by saying that Biden's administration wrote a blank...

This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for musically and aesthetically from this era of Ghost, can't wait to see them live later this month!

With regards to Ukraine - I do agree that it is good to have opened negotiations, all wars with this one included inevitably end in a meeting around the table, but the manner in which they have been conducted have been haphazard, replete with u-turns and ultimately unproductive. All this in...

Has he though? I was actually hopeful that he may go some way to wrap up the ongoing global conflicts but so far all he has achieved is a botched and now broken ceasefire in Israel/Gaza and for all the theatre has basically accomplished nothing with regards to Ukraine. There has not been any...

One frustration with being a diehard MAGA guy must be having to defend a policy one day and then defending the exact opposite the next day when Trump U-turns...

You know exactly what you're going to get with a British Lion gig, but I've always had a good time at them and the novelty of seeing Steve in such small venues hasn't worn off yet. Plus my local show is only 20 minutes down the road.

A lot of these will be probably be down to the venue as well, with certain seats, packages, corporate boxes etc. being available to sponsors then being released to general sale after a certain point if they hadn't sold.

So true, I would be loving it if Kerrang/Metal Hammer went that in-depth on their features.

Assuming you are reselling via Ticketmaster, I was given the option to edit the listing price when I put them up, however there was a maximum value that was allowed. In any case, I'm sure they will sell before the event, especially if they are listed at around face value.

I had a pair of standing tickets for Manchester that I got as a backup, I listed them for £110 each and they sold within a couple of hours. It may be worth looking at the currently listed prices for the type of tickets you are selling and listing them as just slightly under the going rate if you...

Indeed, I was able to pick up front section tickets as non-resale, I suspect a lot of these are tickets held back for the fanclub presales etc. that didn't sell at the time.

AoM certainly has a unique fun factor, more visual flair and excitement with the myth units and god powers, but AoE2 to me is the pinnacle of RTS as 'real-time chess', very finely balanced and strategic but also demanding a lot of mechanical skill. It is also one of the few games where I...

Just a heads up that in the UK at least, production hold and Ticketmaster resales are now available. I was able to upgrade to some golden circle tickets for London as there are now more on sale.
