Re: Dispatches - Great Ticket Scandal Channel 4

Maybe all live music fans should go on strike. Yeah maybe, but seriously, it's a bitter pill to swallow when you hear the music business bemoan their lot about how the unscrupulous public are robbing their artists of royalties through illegal downloads when they are also deeply involved in shafting...

Re: Dispatches - Great Ticket Scandal Channel 4

Laughed when they had the soundbites of people saying "I had to pay £xxx for the ticket" :smt005 :smt005 Thank Fcuk that I don't want to go to venues/see acts where this happens. That's as may be, but the Roundhouse isn't stadium scale, but was the most prestigious date of the tour, in Lo...

Dispatches - Great Ticket Scandal Channel 4

Just watching an expose of the ticket resale website racket. I knew that there was a link between some of the main on line ticket sites and some of these "fan sale" sites, the likes of seatwave an viagogo. Watch this online, :smt013 it's a scam of monumental proportions, never give these s...

Re: The Forums : 10 Years : How did you find it ? : Why ?

At least some things never change. First post 3rd April 2003: I saw Hugh for the first time solo at the tail end of last year at the Junction, Cambridge. Although I was aware that on the back of the book he was playing more Stranglers stuff I was still a little apprehensive. In no way was I expectin...

Re: Missing Andy

Ha ha! Just seen this for the first time. Best looking bloke in the whole video i reckon Mr Mace! :grin: Missing Andy supported Madness when we took Rudi and Ramona to see them in Norwich. I thought they were great, elements of The Jam in there for sure. http://auralsculptors.blogspot.com/search/lab...

Re: The Damned Bristol Academy 09/11/11.

I love The Damned, but I have to say that I have seen them a couple of times over the past couple of years when they have been a bit pedestrian on stage. Saturday's gig at the Roundhouse restored my faith in the band 100%! From the moment that Cap flounced on stage like Dame Edna to the last bars of...

Re: 999 - explanation wanted

I saw Chelsea play a couple of times at the Marquee late 80's/early 90's and on both occasions encountered Gene. Now, I have met many of the folk from the bands we love and Gene October was the only one that I took exception to. Granted 'Exacuate' is a great album but Mr October is 'orrible! In cont...

Re: News Of The World To Close Down

No loss from my point of view! But its not news international that will suffer, but the print workers who will lose their jobs. Murdock is a shite, remember wapping.
