Whoa! Steady on mate, Depeche Mode? Spandau Ballet? you’ll be loving Wham! next!

Great revisit. What a legend this man was. He, like Stephen fry, are the kind of people that you listen to and speak like you wish you could. Indeed and that debate with Stephen Fry & Christopher Hitchens vs Archbishop John Onaiyekan & Ann Widdecombe over the motion "The Catholic Churc...

I don’t really hate any song, I just get annoyed when the melodies from shite songs get stuck in ones head on repeat for fucking hours/ days.

Hugh’s a fan of Mr Jimi Hendrix and Cream. He’s ‘borrowed’ a few of their riffs over the years in his songs.

Hey, everybody! I'm a member of a home recording forum, and sometimes we do recording challenges. A couple of weeks ago, a challenge was set, to pick a track off Nirvana's "Nevermind" and cover it in a completely different style. I chose "Drain You" and tried to do it in the sty...

I got dragged along to a Meat Loaf concert once. Longest night of my life!

Despite that, great groups eg Stranglers, Marillion, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Thin Liz...

I wasn’t really aware of the man until I started watching him on youtube a few years ago. Been watching him again over the last year and are seriously enjoying the ‘Hitchslaps’ compilations, his debating skills were second to none and his comedy skills were certainly impressive too. It sure would ha...

My not so good gig experience concerning another band was Guns ‘N’ Roses at Castle Donnington Monsters Of Rock in 1988. Wasn’t a big fan but watched them anyway. Two people were crushed from the crowd surges and died that day during their set. I remember when the lights came on at the end of the nig...
