All good for the old Crohns Disease I think, seems to be making a difference.

Great review. Aye they are like a few bands like Killing Joke for instance who are just seeming to be getting better in their old age. Damned gigs are always great and a good larf with the captain. When I saw The Damned with The Stranglers at the ‘Dracfest’ in 1997 I had a good chat with the Captain...

Crackheads especially this one - The fat ugly dirty thieving smelly ex-prostitute crackhead smackhead whatever-drugs-she-can-get-head who lives 2 floors below me in my block of flats. She recently nearly got me into fight with some geezer who had arms as big as the Rock, it was a total misunderstand...

This was a novel thread. Always been a bass player but I play more and more guitar now. I've got a fender telecaster and a shaftsbury rick copy - both lovely. I used to echo most people's sentiments on here about Gibson Explorers, but the guitarist in my band plays one and I have to say, they''re a...

what about Stormszy headlining on the Friday night then? Thoughts, anybody here enjoy it ? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Enjoyed some of the Cure but Stormzy? As soon as I see some idiot with his trousers halfway down and his arse sticking out I switch over or lose the will to live or both. ...

I hate the Stranglers' merchandise which has the rat going the wrong way. The back cover of Rattus (which imho should undoubtedly have been the front cover) clearly has the rat going from right to left - to have it the other way round is wrong and it annoys me. Paul I might be wrong but I was alway...

John Barry, he was the man, and a Yorkshire man too, passed away a couple of years ago where he lived in Long Island, USA. Ennio Morricone Lalo Schifrin All unbearable IMHO. Can you think of anyone better? There is some great composers coming up I must admit but they will never compose like these 3 ...

That hippy keyboard player in Four More Heroes (And now in Straighten Out?) sounds way better than Dave! Dave needs to bring back all those synths he used from ‘77 and onwards. As a musician I can clearly hear the difference and his plinky plonky keyboards sound awful. And another thing that ginger ...

I have their first album,which is possibly the best? and also "Revelations",and i remember their hits when they had a more commercial faze,I am out of touch with what they are doing now,I have heard they are one of the best live bands ever and Jaz Coleman is a totally unique frontman being a traine...

Sex Gang Children My mate was constantly playing them at me back in the 80’s & 90’s, eventually I did become a fan of their music but jeez that Andi Sex Gangs voice is definitely an acquired taste! Anyway 30+ years on we went to see them in Leeds just over a week ago and I was thoroughly impressed. ...

https://www.witneymusicfestival.co.uk/gigs/republica.html Republica are still going then? Saffron is still looking quite fit too, looked after herself. Must be fucking torture though having to play that ‘hit’ every night. Actually I think they had 3 hits, still torture though having to play them ov...
