Really? You amaze me sometimes Ania.

@Ania:ive met her but couldnt claim to know her personally.a very old friend of mine was in a relationship with her back in the dawn of time and hes still scared of her! just her strict schoolteacher demeanour when simply entering a room is enough to make you feel like you've been naughty! and she is obviously hard as nails ;you'ld have to be being spiritual mother /sister/governess to all the NMA miscreants over the years.

Would that be in her biker days when she was busy picking up a conviction or two?

She is great for introducing Justin's solo shows, a whole room of pissed up NMA fans shut the f**k up as soon as she steps up to the mic. And that's before she even starts talking

Thea · 18 Oct 2005, 09:09

She's pretty good introducing NYAAA too - last time I saw them, most of the croud was there for another band that were playing and didn't really "get" Joolz

I know exactly what you mean!

new model army have got to be one of the most bland bands in the world ever - the really, really suck. And Joolz (the punk poet) has to be the worst lyricist to have put pen to paper.

20 Oct 2005, 09:48

i'd agree with you about joolz, and granted the army have *a lot* of songs that all sound the same (and a bit dreary), but when they belt out a tune they REALLY belt out a tune.

songs like purity, vagabonds, here comes the war, get me out, etc etc. all massively groovy songs... i've never come across a band that have so many songs that feel like "anthems". huge, huge songs

saw them with mr burgess at manc academy last night and they were rather spiffing

a.r.kane · 20 Oct 2005, 09:53

they have always been a pub punk band to me with such s**t and obvious lyrics - Big Country had anthems, didn't make them any good. Anyone can rock when you turn the volume up !

eastmidswhizzkid · 20 Oct 2005, 09:56

@Quiffy they have always cut it live, even when touring one of their less banging albums. what were the sons of god like?

vicus · 20 Oct 2005, 10:42

Will anybody here go to the gig in Bremen next Friday?

Bloody great band that NMA, especially on the stage

(although I have been only once there - in '93 - and seen videos of their live performances

)

Thea · 20 Oct 2005, 14:40

i still think "Nobody tells us" should have been on Carnival...

if we can include motorhead as well then i reckon the pub's going to be the place to be...like we needed another reason.
