true. i always thought Mark Lamarr was a smarmy git

Early buzzcoks was ace but it became a bad parody of it's self over time!

I always thought Buzzcocks was quality.

 

Liked Lammarr and was worried when that chutney ferret took over.

 

However, he's funny too.

 

So to conclude, it's all good.

Positive on a Friday

I've always liked it.

 

What's happened to Phil Jupitus though, he's turned into a poof, streaked hair, striped suits and gigs he doesn't need?

 

(I'm going watching the Buzzcocks in December, any good live?)

Had the pleasure of meeting him once at a Billy Bragg gig, he was DJing and played loads of SKA. Can't say I was that impressed but by god he's huuuuuuuuge in real life.

He's had it years, don't you know

I'm going to that gig too, was trying to book them to play Number 15 in town but it closed down on me.

See you in't mosh pit then!

I've got my Buzzcocks ticket for the 1st Dec. I went watching them at the Academy last year they were very very very very very very good, but not as good as they were at Silverwell St. Sports Centre in 1978. :yahoo:

p.s. Buzzcocks piss all over Stranglers

Nice one I'm looking forward to it. Only know a few tunes at minute but I'll be familliarising myself before the gig.

Saw them in Perth again a few months back. Superb live. Shelleys now a fat little git but Steve Diggles energy is amazing. Don't know what he's on but it must be good fooking stuff.

You won't be disappointed.

Hes got twatitis

 

Cassie. that's very funny therefore I'm going to steal your 'twatitus' phrase so please don't use it again

 

Zoz my dear boy, if you think you are going to get a rise for that poor attempt then you must stop smoking the crack pipe. Where are they playing on the 1st? I may well give them a second chance and come along

They are at the Manchester Academy.

 

hey! btw Mr. Two Hats I have got somethimg for you if you want it...I have got a Stranglers CD "And then there were three" performed at London Rainbow theatre 4th April 1980, protest concert during Hugh's imprisonement with many guests in Hugh's role.

In fact I have got 2 of them which is why I will give you the other.

I've got it Zoz, Hazel O'Connor murders hanging around and then she had the cheek to release it as a single, just because she was Hugh's girlfriend at the time. And even worse, it made the top 10

 

Shocking

Saw The Stranglers at the Apollo 77, and the Buzzcocks on Platt Fields the same year, the Stranglers just shade it.

Phil Jupitus is touring with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band at the moment. Off to see them at the Apollo on Wednesday. Probably be the youngest one there. - Apart from my son of course!

I'm sure i saw Joy Division supporting the Buzzcocks at Blackburn KG,in (about '78/'79) Can any owd fcuker off here confirm this? I'm sure i didn't dream it <_<

 

Interesting sig LW, i'll hazard a guess - Is it a young plumber who's just finished work on a wet wednesday night in November,and he's contemplating going into a gay bar for the first time? Just a thought like. I'll si thee :good:

I think you could be right about that one, I know they've been on the same bill.

 

Course, I was a nipper then so can't speak from personal experience!

 

 

 

EDIT: 23/10/79 King George's Hall, support act for Buzzcocks.

 

Good memory you've got there!

Thats the gig!,thanks for that BCG, i thought i was cracking up :o

 

I knew i'd seen Joy Division at Blackburn supporting someone, and i THOUGHT it was the Buzzcocks. TBH i can still remember the moody and atmospheric Ian Curtis,but can't remember fcuk all about Pete Shelley that night. But saw the Buzzcocks on many occasions back then - and they were superb :good:

I remember once they walked off stage at Blackburn cos everyone was spitting at them,they didn't come back on either :angry:

I remember watching Joy Division supporting Buzzcocks but it wasn't at King Georges Hall, must have been the same Tour though. My memory is a bit hazy but I seem to remember the lead singer of Joy Division committed suicide about two or three weeks later. Somebody must know the year that this happened. I've slept since then it is a long time ago.

Reet,after a bit of googling -

 

Joy Division played at the Factory Manchester on the 10th April 1980.(The last North West Gig with Curtis,maybe the one you did Zoz ?)

 

Curtis's last live appearance with Joy Division was 2 May 1980 in Birmingham.

 

Ian Curtis hung himself 18th May 1980.

My mate booked mine, I'll find out.

 

I've been listening to their stuff, I thought it would be a bit heavy, but I love it.

 

Seems I'm a punk!

 

I'm off to have a mohican, see you later!
