No, not the bacteria but the thrash metal outfit from New York are on their 40th anniversary tour and were in Newcastle last night. As a long time fan it was a great night and it's amazing to think they are still going and still very good after all these years. The crowd was a surprising mix of quite young and some quite old fans, probably a range of 7 to 77 !!! Obviously, being an old fart I keep well away from the mental moshing downstairs and had a nice civilised view of proceedings from the balcony of the City Hall. Not everyone's cup of tea I appreciate, but I had a cracking night out although I am a bit hard of hearing today...
