Umm... 1991...

The guitarist disappearing for an hour before the gig only reappearing 10 minutes before we were due on. After asking him what he'd been doing he said drinking a couple of bottles of cider and fell off his stool. Promising. He spent most of the gig asking me what the next chord was and laughing. Oh and the bassist turning up half way through and wondering why we were playing without him. A similar thought was going through my head...

I haven't got this right have I?

@JC, nice revelation tho, and any worst gig type of a thing will do.
Thankee!

And the band was...?

2 unlimited supporting hawkwind. the drugs kicked in far too early and it became a right mess

I can't remember ....

does that answer your question?

He still can't make his mind up, can he?

Who can't make up his mind...Oh god is this what I think it is.....the p*ss or dump? LOL LMAO ouch ...that's just too firking funny.

Let's try to stay on topic BeeP and Thrash.... OMG what am I saying?!
Repent Walpurgis!!! :eek"

Terrorvision @ Reading Festival 1994

what's all the fuss about them? (YAWN)

Gun club back in 1988...

a month after the gig i read an interview from Jeffrey Lee Pierce,
and what he thought of the Sisters....

...next day i sold all my Gun Club records...

jesus and mary chain in liverpool, god knows when but quite a few years ago. 10 minute set, then threw a strop and buggered off. riot then ensued

Hate to say it, but... the Cure, Swing tour, 1996.
Manchester 'f**king HUGE' arena.

Great band and all, but... somehow dull in a half empty (literally) megadome

This might sound wierd, but... they played too long, as well!
You might think "How can one of your fave bands play for too long?" but their set just dragggggggeeeeeeeeeddddddddd on for about 2 and a half hours.
They also played loadsa songs I didn't know, which always pisses me off (not their fault, I know).

There was also no support band. which sucked.

Oh, and one last thing- from where I was sat, I could literally see the band 'hiding' backstage, waiting to come back on for their encore, Robbo had a cheesy grin on his face... kinda killed the mystery of "Will they come back on, or won't they?"


I was also pissed off with the Sisters last year, but I've ranted about that enough.

I told you before six that was 'art' LMFAO, I saw them on the Automatic tour and even with smoke of TSOM proportions, they were just dull, really

I've seen Johnny Mathis at Manchester Apollo. It was for my mum's birthday.
What was that band called that had Louise Wener as their singer? I remember their set at Leeds Festival in about 91 or 92 was particularly dreadful.
Ozzfest whatever year it was in Milton Keynes: I was looking forward to the Foo Fighters, but the audience just chanted "Ozzy! Ozzy!" right through their set

i went to see gene pitney at oldham's queen elizabeth hall with my mum and nan in about 1988.

he was f**king superb! white dinner jacket, cummerbund, the works. a complete star.

"town without pity". what a song

Queen Elizabeth Hall We had our school prize-givings there. Where do they dig up the fossils that give speeches at this sort of occasion?

Nowt wrong with a bit of Gene Pitney though.

saw new model army there too around teh time of "green and grey".

surreal venue for a gig like that

Iggy Pop - 198something Rock City

he was a miserable, spoiled brat who spat his dummy brecause someone threw back his mike stand after he'd launched it into the crowd.

He stomped off (ever so funny when yer only 5ft tall ) and sulked fer 30 mins plus before he came back.
