Andrew would say: "I'll set Doktor Avalanche to this speed, and let's just see what happens" If you set it to 192bpm, you get Sigue Sigue Sputnik! It was with the song "Eyes Of Caligula". As I understand, the lyrics are about Margaret Thatcher and England in the 1980s. He has had the lyrics since 1...

Anyway, I'd dearly love to hear an interviewer ask Von (or Chris Catalyst) whether they know that their former bandmate has pretty much solved all the problems of human civilisation

Come Together was written by then, and there was talk of the band going into the studio, but I don't know. I personally think that the wheels had come off that era of the band shortly after Reading 91. Probably the wheels really came off after _Some Girls..._, the point where Andreas had a go at Vo...

Its no secret that on Tour Thing USA James' bass was turned down half the time. No sh*t? The Doktor wasn't able to play the bass back then, so did the live keyboardist do it or did they just do without bass? I just dont like the bloke though for all sorts of little reasons. And Sigue Sigue Sputnik....

Tony James is so shi t! Go listen to Reading '91 & the cu nt cant play Lucretia! He sounds fine on Miami 1991. But I only want him back if he plays the Space baSSS. Honestly can't believe the people in this thread who are *angry* that the Sisters are playing new material rather than nostalgia from ...

I don't want to hear two boys banging out surfing tunes - I want Irony and androgyny.

How many in the current setlist did Pearson write the music for? Is "Crash and Burn" one of his?

Romeo Down came back in briefly last year too

Romeo Down is an underrated classic, we can't lose that one either

How many in the current setlist did Pearson write the music for? Is "Crash and Burn" one of his?

Further discussion in the Where Are They Now? forum. I should have checked that thread first, because there was a mention of him using the KONNEKT brand as long ago as 2011.

Not that it tells us what he's doing now but he is here ; https://www.facebook.com/konnektivist I'm too scared to message him. :lol: ... and we should have all checked this thread in advance to see whether it was our Adam. Here is definitive proof that it is. He was using the "KONNEKT" brand as lon...

Now I can't get into X/Twitter because I hate it and don't have a login, so I don't know what the Islamophobic comment is Oh, it's not worth reproducing, but all his recent Twitter posts are not only very, very pro-Israel re: the recent conflict, but blame Islam specifically for Hamas terrorism. Re...

Well, his Twitter ranting about Israel/Palestine is sadly not very far from what you see in the German mainstream - although it means he won't be working with Von, who wore a keffiyeh on stage, any time soon. But let's face it, this "Konnekt" stuff is pure crankery . This Adam Pearson (assuming it i...

That said Adam Pearson has largely vanished off the face of the earth so I'd probably welcome proof of life at least. Is this him?!? "While music was my former profession, and I want to do more of this as a hobby in future, my main m*****n now is to get the world “konnekted”, whereby everyone will ...

I suspect there will be a few end of tour surprises.

My money is on a bagpipe solo on I Was Wrong.

My prediction: Dylan turns up, absolutely wasted drunk, and attempts to rush the stage. Von clobbers him with a mike stand.

Is Kai the new Wayne ?

No, That Guitarist was more feminine-appearing

As nice as this as and as well as he's doing. I'm sure he's very busy, I think and hope all being well it'll be a Ravey Christo Catalyst Von lineup after this tour We had that for most of the last decade. It was boring and there was hardly any new material. Also: Ben is not likely to want to give u...

Oh, I forgot about Chris. That's a problem because he keeps dropping these huge hints in interviews that he wants his old job back, and there's not room for all three (since Von doesn't want to go back to having a live bass player).

Although it would probably be healthy for Von to take the next 5 years off for his own health, if TSOM are to continue in the short term, I think on current evidence we should get together a petition - a crowdfunder, if necessary - to ensure that Kai will become a permanent member.

the band are currently as hot and rocking as they possibly ever have been. Absolutely amazing considering the people on Facebook - and some old-timers here who only appear every 5 years or so - coming out of the woodwork, when Dylan left or when Von was too sick to play, to scream about how TSOM ar...

Amazing! More Sax please! in every song it can intergrate!!!

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for Von to finally announce the live debut of "New World Order"

Okay, I'm confused, lots of people saying that Kilburn played on "Lucretia", but I can't see or hear him in the footage from Newcastle

What's all this Facebook nonsense about guitarists not playing and all this ?? Just a disgruntled idiot or what? I know Facebook is garbage but I have to investigate I saw a guy claiming that when he saw the girls, all the "twiddly bits" were being played by the Doktor and the guitarists were just ...

Why has it taken me so long to realise that the intro to "Summer" is literally "When the Levee Breaks"

Come to think of it, so is "Never Land"

There was a very scathing post on the FB page (no surprise there!) But it seems to have disappeared. I saw the scathing post but it was about Bristol. Honestly I think some people don't even go to the gigs they just submit their "reviews" based on what they imagine the gig was like / what will get ...
