Neds on tour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

No sir. But I am going to see Magne from A-ha play live on Thursday night in Nottinghill. I never in my whole life thought that would happen....until now.

Yes that's what I heard, but I don't believe them. How did they move all of those beds before the tide did? I'm also sceptical about their flying inflatable pig being an "accident". ;D

I have Hipgnosis' first 2 books and they are pretty candid about what was involved in all their sleeve designs, accidents, found effects and one that involved an electric cooker!

They do some great work. Momentary Lapse is my fave PF cover. I'm not sure what the significance of the maid is though, apart from a pun on 'made the bed'. Other puns could be 'river bed' and 'flying over bed' !

a real return to form as well, after the patchy Wall and it's subsequent outakes and rejects - The Final Cut, first tour I saw them on too, Maine Rd. IIRC
Is There Anbody Out There? - The Wall Live is a much better affair than the studio album

To quote Life of Brian - "Ooo you lucky b*st*rd" ;D Did you have the bed flying over you? And there's a fantastic piece of film for Signs of Life.

@Gripper - sorry mate, need to get to 'grips' with this staying on topic lark. :D

@Almiche V flying bed, blinding/burning lights, excellent sound and a great band on very good form

No, do go on, be my guest etc. :D

If anyone feels like doing the Neds thang, I'm sure they'll pipe up eventually.

Just as a matter of interest...I absolutely LOVED the single 'Stuck' which I think was one of their last ones...about 1995?? :?:

I've honestly not heard anything else by 'em...is this representative of their other stuff...or not? :?

I've been tempted by their greatest hits which came out in last year or so...but not sure... :roll: :urff:

Anybody help????? ;D

Stuck was off their last album, not there best by most people's accounts. Godfodder had a much more angry, raw sound :notworthy: :notworthy:

It'd be great if they toured the States.

Neds are a great band. There used to be a link on the Neds homepage http://listen.to/neds that allowed you to download all the albums and a couple of live gigs. looks like the link is dead now though.

I have Are You Normal? and 0.522 and on CD as well as a couple of singles on 12" and all the albums on MP3. I would like to go see them, but I fear that work is going to get in the way...
