Re: Gigs best worst loudest most seen etc.

First gig - The Boomtown Rats 1979 Best - The Stranglers, Cardiff 1979. Brilliant Raven setlist plus JJ jumped into the crowd and laid into one of the audience that wouldn't stop spitting! I was also present at Weston-Super-Mare in 2006 when the band played their first gig as a reformed 4-piece. Als...

Re: "The Undertones" what a great band IMHO.

I went to see The Undertones in the Tramshed in Cardiff recently, and they were brilliant. Good energy, loads of songs from their first album and the obvious singles, and the lead singer was spot on. As said previously, perfect pop songs. they are well worth going to see live if you get the chance.

Re: Rick Parfitt R.I.P

That's very sad news. I saw Status Quo without Rick only a few weeks ago and he was really missed. A great rock guitarist. Rest in peace Rick.

Straighten Out - Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd

I had heard a lot of good reviews from members of this forum about the Straighten Out tribute band gigs, so when I saw that they were coming to Wales, I immediately booked a couple of tickets for myself and my son to go and see them. My son is 24 and has been a fan of the Stranglers for most of his ...

Re: lemmy RIP

Such a sad day. I saw him in June earlier this year at the Eden project where Motorhead headlined with the Stranglers on the same bill. He didn't look very good, but my word did he pack a powerful sound! R.I.P.
