O/T Gary Glitter, do you have any sympathy for him ?

[Everest]

I gather its death by firing squad over there. Thats quite exciting, isn't it ?

Not if you're the one in the firing line.

No sympathy whatsoever.

 

[Hiney]

He buggers off

Literally it would seem

No sympathy whatsoever

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Its such a shame that someone who produced so many great tracks in the 70s is a f***ing bastard.

 

[GermanShepherd]

no sympathy for him, but i am against the death penalty. lifelong prison.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

No way, i hope that bastard gets the firing squad.

 

[Grendel]

He should be given an enema with nitric acid. Far more interesting than shooting him.

Aye. Saw Fish the other week...he did all of Misplaced Childhood, which was good, plus Incommunicado and Market Square Heroes. Would have liked some Script... material but I guess you can't have everything!

Where?

Last time I saw him was at Manchester Apollo - over 10 years ago!



Back to the thread, Gary Glitter was a great showman and I loved his songs. Paul Gadd is a despicable human being and deserves whatever horrible things come his way.

There is no way anyone with kids could have any sympathy for him, surely?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its not possible to play Rock and Roll or I'm the leader at full volume anymore which is a crying shame

 

[GermanShepherd]

misplaced childhood hooked me for marillion. i was on a skiing-trip with our school, and one mate of mine had the tape. i listen to it, loved it, and he had to force me to give it back to him. i persuaded my dad then to buy me the album, which he did.

not many folks know this, my nickname as a youth was "jester", as i was wearing marillion shirts often.

still love their stuff, the new singer is ok, but not half as good as fish. seen them live in the 80s, loved it

I think Hogarth gets a lot of unfair criticism. He's a very good and powerful singer, but a very different style, and much less aggressive than Fish. I have to admit I view the two Marillion eras as different bands as there really are very few similarities in the music between the two.

agree...
also got albums with hogarth. but as u said, they r two different bands now. never compared them really, as the 2 singers are so compl. different.

seen them with hogarth, was good too, but different to when fish was there.

still prefer fish by a mile

There was a phone poll in the Daily Express today: Should Gary Glitter be shot? I wasn't sure if it was anything to do with the current story, or if they were just try to gauge the public's general opinion of him.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

It's good to know that Virgin and HMV (amongst other retailers I'm sure) are still happy to cream off profits from our Gaz's CD back catalogue. Maybe they aren't yet aware that he's a paedophile.. or more likely in the case of Virgin Mr Branson just needs the extra cash.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

nonce............nail him up, nail some sense into him

 

[looney]

I read on teletext earlier that he faces 14 years and not the death penalty.

I doubt very much if they are creaming any profits as sales went through the floor after the original court case for dowloading porn. The record stores & record companies or Glitter himself are hardly going to bring out a 'best of' just in time for Xmas on the back of this are they?

Not that I would seek out his 'works' as they hardly stood the test of time unlike some of his contemeroies, but a shift through the various record stores would I suspect have very little available. A bit like Michael Jackson I would imagine, his popularity has waned somewhat since his high profile exposure.

On the later I could never understand the 'Jackson is innocent' campaign. I wonder what misaligned saddo will start a 'Glitter is innocent' stand; probably no one as he was not big or indeed known in the USA.

Virgin's online megastore has nine GG albums, albeit pretty much all compilations, one entitled 'Touch Me'

All Sussex Uni students should immediately rush down to Churchill Square mall in the morning with placards in protest, if they're not too busy spending the free £30 HMV/Virgin vouchers that they got for opening a student bank account on GG albums that is!
