Not in Crawley Posted January 23, 2025 Posted January 23, 2025 Not going again to see GnR - London Stadium outstanding, Download best ever, Tottenham rubbish. Been round too many times now. Would have thought about it if Public Enemy where on the UK dates. As for NIN, saw them at Brixton but the other half is a huge huge fan so no doubt we'll be going (I've already refused to buy the tickets) My only hope is that Ministry will support as they cancelled on us and they are a bazillion times better than Trent's mob (we do often sadly argue about this) The big one for me now I'm stuck in the arse end of nowhere is that Thus Love are ending their tour in Ramsgate the weekend before my birthday so all in for that.

Even their 3 nu metal classics were disjointed and badly played. Papa Roach are always amazing live one of my favorite live acts. GnR have been both awesome and awful when I've seen them. Get a few beers in and enjoy a sing along or laugh at the car crash as axl throws a tantrum. I've got loads lined up Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium 1st next week in the posh seats at the Co-op I saw P.O.D when they toured with Alien Ant Farm a few years back, they sounded good then so maybe you caught them on an off-day. Bullet should be a top gig - not been to the Co-Op yet but heard its a great venue! Quote
L/H White Posted January 25, 2025 Author Posted January 25, 2025 Having a drink with the missus tonight in the pub next to band on the wall in Manchester, then all of a sudden Mani from the stone roses comes and sits with us Quote
Army 11 Posted January 25, 2025 Posted January 25, 2025 Mani what a legend. Not up his own arse Quote

No Who's in room 56 then? No idea, bye To be fair I once went for a meal at that Malmasion, it was awful. Told the manager I was a food reviewer for The Scotsman and instead of a bad review he gave me and the Mrs free cocktails all night. Fuck knows why I did it, but it worked and the food was still crap. Quote

He always seems like a nice bloke. Me and my mate kidnapped him in Manumission once - but we were a bit to worse for wear to properly converse! 😁 Quote

To be honest it just going to be a load of smoke and white lights. Saw them at Brixton stood pretty close to the stage and could hardly see them 😁 Quote
Duck Egg Posted January 29, 2025 Posted January 29, 2025 I was just moaning about being asked to pay £57 for Echo and the Bunnymen at Piece Hall. It's a great venue but seems only yesterday (probably pre lockdown) they were playing Bury Met for £15. Dear Mr Echo... Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 29, 2025 Posted January 29, 2025 Listed them as I got better seats via another site. Quote

Pretty good that really for a heritage band at a venue like that and it seems all their GA tickets for whatever artist are the same price so I don't know if they try and make sure no one hikes them up to high?

After he dined with L/H White, he came into Band on the Wall to watch Purple Hearts and Secret Affair. I had a good chat with him about his time in a re-incarnation of The Damned, playing what Rat & Brian at the 100 Club. Told me The Damned were the first band he ever saw live as a kid. A couple of my mates also went over to chat with him, mentioned their time at Empress Ballroom, quick as a flash, Mani replied, “I did 2 e’s before the gig started, it was a weird, weird night”. Top bloke. He should do after dinner speaking!! Edited January 29, 2025 by Smiley Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 29, 2025 Posted January 29, 2025 Just seen in the States for NIN they are paying 44 dollars booking fee. I thought we got ripped off. Quote

Got some great venues he could do it at. I know a few producers who earn a ton doing those 'evening with Aggers' stuff - always sell about 80% of the house with very little marketing. My kind of gig 😁 Quote
Cheese Posted January 29, 2025 Posted January 29, 2025 Yeah Smiley. You've had a selfie with him, so you're basically his agent now. Sort it out for the pair of prancers. Quote

Haha, didn’t post the pic with me and my new mate Mani! He’s retired from the business. Said he’s happy just being with his kids. Probably had a hard time of it with his Mrs passing away and mates like Andy Rourke and Paul Ryder. Quote
