Shihad's big goodbye

New Zealand band Shihad are calling it a day. 

Over almost 4 decades they’ve torn up stages around the world, proving themselves one of the best live bands around. As they hang up the guitar leads, what better time to ask them to Take 5 and share some of their best memories?

This is a blueprint for how Shihad came to be. It's also the story of a friendship that began in a schoolyard in Wellington and lives strong between lead singer Jon Toogood and drummer Tom Larkin, to this day.

From Killing Joke to AC/DC to Metallica, horns up for a helluva farewell.

• AC/DC – 'Back In Black'
• Headless Chickens – 'Gaskrankinstation'
• David Bowie – 'Let’s Dance'
• Killing Joke – 'Love Like Blood'
• Metallica – 'Master Of Puppets'
