James Ray

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.

Any chance of an audition? :wink:

From way up on Planet Dave, it was duly noted that...

The Smurphs were fooking awesome. :notworthy: Boy, do The Sisters need a Mya in their poxy little band. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Stonking gig Paddy and co. 8) Absolutely rocking. :notworthy:

Rhombus were....goth, but goth. Sorry boys, waaaaaay too goth for me.

James Ray....done him, and yes, he's the new Doctor Who ( :notworthy: @ Scotty). The BBC will be on the phone as we speak.

My own opinion. I liked all the bands.
Have to say I couldn't enjoy all Smurphs covers (for example Temple Of Love) but I liked some others (This Corrosion) and the sound. The different kind of sound.
Danke! :notworthy:

And an embarrassing question: who was the nice chap who sold and handed out the James Ray and JR related CDs? He seemed to know who I am... Anyway my thanks again :notworthy:
The embarrassing confession number 2: when that guy had asked me if I wanted the CD signed by JR, he asked also if I wished to talk to JR but due to my being tired and a slight case of hangover (what happens when you have decided to drink water and smoke light cigarettes) I wasn't able to say anything more than "Thank you" to JR :oops: Saying it I was thinking about his autograph but also about JR vinyls I had bought from Camden a week before (shame that I had no 'Texas' 12 " promo with me - I could get his sign on it bit it was at Dave's mansion this time) and all what he had done since The Sisterhood. But I probably looked like a complete idiot.

I've got you beaten there, pikkrong, 'cos there's a picture of me and Mr. Ray arm in arm, and I cannot even remember WHAT I said to him. :roll:

Where is he, anyway? I was hoping he'd weigh in, a la mockeldritch, to bash a few skulls?

If I was able to go, I would have bought a Dust Boat and got him to sign it.

Would have made it the best night out imaginable.

Will have to disagree with you there Snowey...it IS a logistical nightmare to get ANYWHERE from Lincoln, where you change at Donny or not. You certainly can't get back to Lincoln the same evening unless you leave at 8 ish

If it hadn't been my birthday and the fact I was in Liverpool the previous night - I would've brought Dark for the Saturday - but Sunday was never an option.

Must say I'm really enjoying reading this thread...seems it's ok to diss one band but not another.

Nothing personal meant to either of the bands concerned, just a general observation....

(not found owt against Rhombus yet :D :D :D )

Cheeky bitch, that cost good money in Berlin last year :lol: . More amusing was the fact that my mate Matt, wearing the same top on Sunday (I knew he would), got collared for various alleged misdemeanours of mine from Saturday. Smoke and mirrors....

And yep, Si, at least I had the good grace to be honest, as Mr Ray found out, no doubt much to his amusement, later on.

No problem Dave. And it was good to see you (and everyone else). It's fair to say the weekend was more about the people present than the bands... :D

I enjoyed all the bands on Sunday. I've only recently started to listen to James Ray, and I like what I've been hearing. Once I got into it, I really liked his set (even though I was one of the chatterers at the start) and was very happy to hear Edie get an airing. He seemed happy enough to say hello afterwards, although I fear I was a tad brown-nosed when talking to him. :oops: but I genuinely enjoyed it. Rhombus did a good cover of 15 Years and I liked their song If You Haven't Been Shot... (Am I right in thinking the 1st line is "small man big cock" ?:lol: The Smurphs were v.good sounding but lookalikes they ain't. As Sid (or was it Paddy - lost track of this thread) said, the point is to have fun. And I did, so long as I kept my eyes shut. :innocent: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

1996 was the last time Gangwar played live, 1988 was the last time The Performance played live. 10 years following each event people seemed to 'get it'. So perhaps when you sleep on it (or let it put you to sleep), for 10 years, it may make sense. It was a pleasure meeting some of you.
A.M.O. will be presenting events in the near future to benefit the survivors of the Mexican floods and to help re-arm the nation. These events will not be featuring any pop music so it may have limited appeal to this forum, but if you open your pockets for us we could open your eyes for you. Trust your enemies and beware your friends. Love & Peace, Adios . . . .
