Things your parents say about your fave bands

[Arthur Streeb-Greebling]

My Dad -
"I like Golden Brown but The Stranglers are fucking lunatics"

"Killing Joke? if that bloke can sing I will eat my own cock"

[bill]

"It's only a phase - she'll grow out of it" (my mum to my dad about Strangs, June 1977).

[pigeon]

Recentley while watching the apollo dvd

Stepdad Kev "Their not the same without Hugh, at least hugh could sing what's this guy doing? (baz) mind you there not as bad as when i saw Bob dylan at the brixton academy last year"

Mum "Has Paul roberts left?"

[Bobinblack]

My Mum's losing it a bit these days but she has been witness to most of my musical tastes throughout my life and always had a soft spot for The Stranglers, partly because she knew I was a bit obsessed with them I suspect

Played a BBC Session cd the other day and I could tell just by the look on her face that Genetix will not be on her Stranglers Top 50

Bizarrely enough, I caught her toetapping to PIL the other week

Oh and she cannot stand Morrissey or The Smiths, never has done :D

Would be a bit surreal your mother tapping along to Death Disco.

"Are they still going?" is usually the question I get when I mention I'm going to a Stranglers gig. Leaving aside the fact that I wouldn't be going to a gig if they were not still going, I've been hearing this for way more than ten years now.

' I do not want to hear that on your record player ever again...'

The Exploited , Dead Cities.

Dad
You went to see the stranglers...Again
Is that old fella on the drums still alive or they replace him
Aint the singer of the band a teacher or something...

[dreamtime101]

Mum to Dad...... 'Dave's been playing that record again "Drink a pint of blood, drink a pint of blood" '
(DNB)

[Flyboy]

Dad " What the hell is that you are playing?"

Me " Bring on the nubiles!"

Dad " Fuck me, did they go to school to learn swear words like that?"

10 Minutes later.........."Where's that LP with the Rat on it? The one with the fairy with the make up on it?"

4 years later, while home on leave I looked and found my Dad had Rattus, No More Heroes, B&W and xcerts.

Hrumph!!!

[Mr-Tele]
