Nothing ever beats this @embankment Somehow never seen AC/DC I've got mates who've seen them loads and yet I've never been to any of the gigs or festivals they've been on at. Them and Aerosmith are the big 2 I've yet to see live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did it for me and never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to wag off school early to get the Coach from Manchester (We did the same for a Rush gig there as well). It wasn't so long after that he died. Seen them a few times since with Brian Johnson but it's not the same. Back in Black was a great album though and a couple of the later ones, but everything since is pretty much the same tune with different Lyrics. Saw KISS at Bingley 3 times as well. Those were great Concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Damon Albarn is an annoying div, but he's really talented. It's superb. I'll have to listen to the full album. I was obsessed with Drifters and Trawlers for months after seeing them play it on tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC/DC died with him unfortunately imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 11, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) The Sleaford Mods are the best British band so far this century Andrews music is vastly underrated Edited March 11, 2021 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 What if it clashes with pension day? They'll be too busy getting up a 6am to go and buy ornaments and catfood, and arguing with the bus driver about not being allowed to use their pass before 10am (again).

Youri McAnespie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If Sleaford Mods arrange to play a gig, and the day of this gig falls on the same day their pension is issued they may be somewhat conflicted. Most pensioners do their weekly shop on pension day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate works for Age Concern in Wednesbury, they're never out of the place. Always scrounging cups of tea and pink wafers with some gripe or other. They're 65 and 68 respectively. Far too old to be banging biscuit tins and shouting over a bontempi organ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
