God I wish...

First we have "The Sisters use DAT..."

then

"The Sisters need a drummer...."


Amazing how some people just don't get it...


Perhaps its time we introduced some kind of initiation ceremony/citizenship test??

Sample questions for said test on a postcard to.....

all applicants must reside mentally and culturally, if not physically, within close proximity of the the M62

using a dat. bless.

whatever will they be saying next! that uncle andy can actually sing quite well?

not to worry. diversity of opinion, however wrong (:lol:) is what makes us thrive. or something.

I hope past residency counts!

I lived closed to it for about eight months back in '93..

Though part me always will...

(cue sloppy sentimental music!)

I was a student at Uni of Leeds in 97-98 (politics). And now an official alumnus of this fine institution. I kept my student card as a souvenir.

And of course the Dok stays IN.

He's a founding member and the irresistible force behind the gang.

Wadda think boys, I hate drum machines that miserably try to pass as real drummer. On the other hand I love boom boom boxes that do exactly what they're supposed to.

I've never even been near to the M62

Well, perhaps mentally, but where is it then?

Well, was the drummer originally, wasn't he

Still, nothing to add on the second paragraph

The point of a drum machine is to add percussion, NOT to sound like a drummer. Any band that uses a drum machine to replicate a drummer has failed.

I dont live close to the M62, not even mentally. (...and I'm not too sad about it either )

I dont think the mentioning of a drummer or a DAT is something heretic.

I think people give up their good manners a bit too fast.

I think I should better pack my things and RUN.

Too true.

There's diversity of opinion, and there's trolling...

Obviousman, you got me on this. But Dok was on the first single. That means something !

As for the rest, of course everyone is entitled to his own opinion. It's just that :

- False accusations (the DAT affair) are no opinion. It's just defamation.

- Some may be fed up with the "Dok vs. human drummer" argument. It's been going on for centuries. (sorry if that sounds too sententious. Okay, that does)

Point is : Dok is in no way supposed to sound like a human musician, and that's why we love him !

my postcode is LS6 1HL
can I stay?

Does the A9 count?.

Does the A9 count?.

Some of my best records come from near the M 62. I guess that`s what it was all about.

So that's how you get a P.R.W.Y. T-shirt...

well i only live down the road.

'the road' being the M1

still the in-laws are in Ilkley - thats gotta be close enough to count?

I've got a PRWY shirt. Does it count?

What's a PRWY

People's Republic of West Yorkshire?
I lived in LS6 & 4 for 3 years, and still miss the Burley Park chippy, Hyde Park Picture House (Hallowe'en All Nighters, anyone?) - used to drive from Liverpool over the Pennines to Leeds, when you get to the top there is/was a great big white rose painted on the rocks on the side of the M62. Used to tell me I was coming home...[sigh].

It would, if it was true. Eldritch played drums on the first single.

Gosh you're right !
Now I know why this piece of vinyl sounds so awful. No Dok.

Is it just me or is this influx of new people actually one man with many accounts?

Damage Done apparently sounds awful because it was recorded by someone who wasn't sure of his recording techniques, with the band being comprised of a drummer who could not drum, a guitarist who had only recently started playing guitar, and a 3-watt amp through which they played.

Personally, I like it.

Dark : Uh ?!

Nick : Nah. You just can't believe that so many people want to join the forum, can you ?

Damage Done is definitely one of my favourites... in fact, the whole single is pretty good.

Do you sometimes meet EvilBastard to play Moulder and Scully with him?
