Went to the Mission Retribution last night to discover that ructions have happened (overtly this time), the crap DJs are out (Craig), and there's a choice of rock/metal to listen to! Glad I turned up that night given that it was the first time in over a year that I've done so, and it's the first time in many a year I've got severely mingingly sweaty in there on a Saturday.
They seem to be trying to listen to the customers now (setting up a mailing list and texting service) and sorting out a website for requests and general opinions on the place.
Good decision to cut whatever club had been tacked on upstairs in recent times (I get the impression that the goth bit was struggling and that the one on inbetween weeks never really got sorted out (and the goths have loads of clubs anyway), and now it's just the heavy room where the likes of me can escape to for generally crunching whiplash-inducing metal of many types and ages. I was very pleased. The club gives me the impression now of a similar style to the likes of Rock City and Jilly's with two rooms of different styles of metal, but ostensibly metal, instead of any standard thrash fans being forced to put up with no more than two songs heavier than SOAD or Walk by Pantera. Again. Long may it continue, and I commend the night to you all!

Which one was Craig? Was he the one who start playing a good song and then cut halfway through to another one? That seriously annoyed me.

Craig was the one that always did the final set and finished with Sweet Child O Mine and Back in Black usually, or something like that anyway...

Retribution sounds shite and I dislike metal so I won't be going. DJs who change records halfway through songs deserve to be shot.

The new night sounds good for what it is, despite annoying the existing clubs called Retribution and Hades by using their names! I'm rather annoyed at the wat they handles the old crew. After all these years they were owed better than that.

I'm not sure what you mean...

Redemption used to be a Goth night run by EdG&R. I'm not sure if they still intend doing it or not since I've been moved away from the area some time and haven't been to any meetings.
So, they are advertising it incorrect name and using another Edinburgh club's name? Oh dear, that's not a good start!
The other club called Retribution is in England and is also most definitely called "Retribution".
I'm not sure what I'm trying to explain here, because I'm not sure what your comment meant. It seems to be saying we were calling the new club by the wrong name?
