Naytch Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 New Order at Manchester International Festival booked. Be a good gig that, with an orchestra and apparently they're gonna play stuff you don't normally hear Quote
Cheese Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Going seeing Elbow in a couple of weeks, but a fucking brilliant local band I stumbled across in Lytham last weekend - Electro 80's. Fucking magnificent. Really worth seeing if you're into that sort of thing. Put on a proper show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyvxPBuMVU4 Quote
Casino Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 If they're the ones who play at henighans they are great Quote
Casino Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 In fact, they're on at the bury road one next Saturday Not to be missed if you like your 80s Quote
Cheese Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) In fact, they're on at the bury road one next Saturday Not to be missed if you like your 80s Indeed. Pure luck I saw them last week. I'll go out of my way to see them again though. One thing I did find amusing was the massive amount of MILF's swinging their pants in perfect sychronisation on the dance floor. As can almost be seen in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUzLYpZoW2U Edited March 11, 2017 by Cheese Quote
embankment Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Just back from the Ritz,where GUN and Black Star Riders rocked the foundations. Anyone on here ,who thinks BSR are a tribute band get ya arses down to watch them next time round. With 3 albums in the bag and a set list that only contains 2 Lizzy tracks this band will be around for years. Superb front man ( Ricky Warwick ) and a trio of guitars this is rock n roll at it finest !!! Edited March 12, 2017 by embankment Quote
Not in Crawley Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Ricky Warwick... went to see The Almighty with Wildhearts in support, probably about 93. I remember he used to date the presenter from The Power Hour as well. Quote
Ratwhite Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Elbow Saturday at Apollo, hopefully after a "Magnificent" win v The Cobblers Quote
Marc505 Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 New Order at Manchester International Festival booked. Be a good gig that, with an orchestra and apparently they're gonna play stuff you don't normally hear Really looking forward to this and one or two of the other MIF events such as that True Faith exhibition about the art of Joy Division and New Order. NO touring again in November too including Manchester but no dates yet Quote
Dr Faustus Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Metallica and Weezer playing Arena and Apollo respectively in October- 28th and 25th Quote
Smiley Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Metallica and Weezer playing Arena and Apollo respectively in October- 28th and 25th Fancy a bit of Metallica. Been a while. Quote
Smiley Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Had a last minute road trip over to Hull last night to the New Adelphi club for the Senseless Things first official gig in 22 years. Got picked up by some random guy off Facebook from Chorlton, who was actually Scottish but supported Forest - young Cloughie was the initial conversation we had. Met a woman in some dodgy pub off Facebook for a ticket. And then, on the off-chance, sat for half an hour with a couple of the band members in a quiet bar chatting. Venue was slightly bigger than my lounge! 200 sweaty 40-somethings in there pogoing around for best part of 2 hours. Band were fuckin' ace!!! Even managed to get on stage and dive back into the crowd on the last song - so 90s! Can't wait to do it all again in Shepherds Bush this coming Saturday! Can't hear a thing this morning! Quote
embankment Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Love Metallica. But i ain't paying 100 notes for the pleasure of watching them at the Arena. Edited March 24, 2017 by embankment Quote
Smiley Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Love Metallica. But i ain't paying 100 notes for the pleasure of watching them at the Arena. Agree. Knocked it on the head. Quote
frank_spencer Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Aye put me off too. Possibly my favourite band but having seen them many times for much less I didn't bother. Quote
embankment Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Crazy cash. Put it this way. A day ticket for Download costs £80. And a choice of watching up to 10 bands approx from.a choice of 40. Know where my well.earned is going. Plus its a rip off , by including in the ticket price a copy (either digital or hard) of their latest album. Which we all had on last years xmas list.

embankment Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Metallica were on top form a few years back at Sonisphere . When they headlined the big 4. Edited March 24, 2017 by embankment Quote
L/H White Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) courteeners sold the 50k tickets for the gig at the cricket ground support from the charlatans and the blossoms should be a good en Edited March 24, 2017 by L/H White Quote
frank_spencer Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I would pay £100 not to watch MetallicaI feel the same about the courteeners, not sure I'd turn up to watch them if I got paid £100 to be honest Quote
kent_white Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I feel the same about the courteeners, not sure I'd turn up to watch them if I got paid £100 to be honest I reckon I'd go watching Metallica if I got paid a hundred pound. And the Courteeners :-) Quote
frank_spencer Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I reckon I'd go watching Metallica if I got paid a hundred pound. And the Courteeners :-)Depends on the weeks takings I guess.Theyd have to up the offer big time if it was a Saturday night. Quote
Smiley Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Stranglers were on the money Friday evening in Brixton. Rarely fail to disappoint. Senseless Things tore the house down in Shepherds Bush tonight. Place was bouncing. Spotted Ian Broudie, Jimbob Carter & Matt Bellamy in the crowd. And got to meet one of my teenage heroes - Gerry from Mega City Four. Had beer with him & his Mrs pre gig. Pretty much just chatted about football. Top bloke. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Kent protests too much. He's been known to rock a Metallica tune now and again! Quote
