The Music Thread Strikes Back

Paul's Smiths game is akin to Colin Lee's game of hammering long balls vs Huddersfield when they had Ken Monkou at the back. Knocked back away every single time with consummate ease :)
 
I've been getting more into country stuff over the years. As said there's some shite but some really good stuff too. People like Dean Heckel, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jason Isbell, and I do also like Little Big Town stuff ehich is more commercial. Mostly just basic guitar/voice songwriting stuff. Country doesn't just mean yeehaw dance around the barn stuff.

Jinks mentioned The Used earlier, and I used to have a song of theirs on a playlist which I really liked. Was it "Taste Of Ink" or something like that? I haven't heard it in years.

I like Chemical Brothers stuff too. Especially Hey Boy Hey Girl, and more recently Go which was on the PS4 adverts which is a great tune.
 
Oh and I loathe UB40 with an absolute passion. Utter nasal mince.

And they say never meet your heroes, I'm just devastated, you're Kevin Muscat to my Michael Boulding :shake:
 
I was a bit of a mess when you met me (but I'm a good actor when I want to be, and I held it together). I'm much nicer now.
 
Actually had a good time at Weston Park some years ago...be early 2000's, had to chaperone my 16 year old daughter. Muse were headlining and were excellent but also a good support line-up including Shed 7, JJ72(?) and a surprise to me were Wheatus, thought they were just a one hit wonder pop band but they were actually very good.
 
JJ72 were good! They just disappeared though.

I really fancied their guitarist.

Er, guess which one I fancied :)

(Though sexuality is a broad church, and I haven't always been on one side of the aisles, and all that)
 
Yeah it was the bass player that was female, in fact I think they had 2 female bass players (not at at the same time obviously)
Not sure why they didn't last long but I really liked them, very good live
 
If you really want to go down the homoerotic road of musicians I fancied, then I give you:

Martin Rossiter of Gene.

As well as 80s/90s Moz. He's too old now though (and a knob, as much as that pains me to say).
 
i saw gene play once too. they were ok.

i like quite a bit of stuff that's classed as country. gene clark for instance. and there's southern gothic type stuff like timber timbre

didn't like much dire straits, especially the really shite one they did with sting
 
Ok, so late to the party here...

First gig was back in my "Mod Revival" days as a youth.. Lambrettas at Northallerton Community Center, a band that had been on TOTP's in my own town!
Best gig? Possibly Stereophonics at MEN Arena doing their Performance and Cocktails tour. Loads of stuff off Word Gets Around and loved Kelly Jones's voice
Worst? A few people from the forum know of the pain I suffered when my 2nd(ex) wife hoodwinked me into going to see Will Young in Sheffield on 25th November 2008...
 
Don't think I've ever been to any really crap gigs, been to a couple where the singer just wasn't powerful enough or the mix was a bit crap, Slashes Snake Pit and Extreme to name two
 
The shit gig that sticks in my memory was Bon Jovi at the Hammy O, I think in 1990.
I was just coming to the end of my teenage metal years and had moved on to different stuff and it just seemed so weedy and pathetic. Everybody else there loved it so it was more to do with me than them, but god it was awful.
 
Forgot to mention how brilliant madness were first time I saw them - again at the civic.

I'd actually gone to see them at the academy with a friend, but we left after 5 songs because the venue was so bad. That was the time I vowed to never return.

They played the civic a week later. A friend has contacts at SJM, so got us on the guest list. My friend was desperate to see them, and I kept it a secret, because a guest list is never confirmed til the day anyway.

Went in - atmosphere was great. Stood at the back, and watched an absolutely phenomenal show. What stood out was how fantastic the group are as musicians. Halfway through Chris Foreman took the mike and announced they'd be playing 5 top 5 singles in a row, and I thought "they've already played em all haven't they?" Of course, they proceeded to prove me wrong.

Just brilliant. Wings of a Dove and Embarrassment are phenomenal.
 
Underworld have revamped their website. It's showing as a beta version, but shizzles happening...
