The Stranglers tonight

[Uncle Spielberg]

Anyone going ?.

 

[The Auditor]

Yep... probably the last tour ...first saw them on Hastings Pier 1976/77 ish

 

[zamora the merrier]

Oh yes! Can't wait - last saw them at the IOW Fest a couple of years ago and they were verry very good

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Apparently its nearly sold out.

 

[Garage_Doors]

where ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Dome

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Apparently its nearly sold out.

Already? Nearly sold out, by 2pm, on the day of the gig.

Hot cakes.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its is for this gig, this is not some spotty teenage boy band followed by wet teenage girls it is a real mans band who have been going nearly 35 years and whose drummer is 71 and whose last big hit was probably about 20 years ago. I know the x factor and indie wank music gigs sell out in 20 minutes but I would rather wash my eyes in acid than attend half of the wanky inide bands so popular on here , most of whol I am never heard off. The Stranglers are a national institution and piss on any of the lefty nsc bands so popular on this site.

so you can't stand rubbish like leona lewis then uncle?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Apart from Leona obviously.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am refering more to the utter garbage posted on here in thread about good music. Crap indie and trendy student bands who will be working at McDonalds in 2 years time.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

hahaha spoken magnificently like a man who has got a little bit too old.

Stranglers, a 'real man's band'. *snigger*.

You have a very closed mind to write off bands as 'wank' and then later in the same sentence admit you've never heard of them [let alone listened to them].

Why don't you live a little, and try something new. Its no longer 1980.

I bought an album on Saturday, by a band I'd never heard of, just for the hell. I've been playing it in the car for three days and guess what? I really like it.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am not going to argue about it hans just get to the Dome by 8pm and do yourself a favour.

I did buy Lady Gaga's the Fame Monster last week which was the first cd I have brought in 6 months, it is very good.

Go to HMV and track down Rattus Norvegicus made in 1976 which is the greatest debut album of all time imo. This album I can guarantee will make an impression on you.

I'm not arguing either Gareth. The Stranglers are a decent band. I used to listen to them on my parents' cassette tapes when I was a kid in the late 70's, along with Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys and Johnny Cash.

I saw Elvis Costello at the the BC a couple of years ago, and he was good. Steve Niaive was technically superb, too, but frankly there's something a little uninspiring about late middle-aged men trying to rock out.

As I said, you should broaden your horizons. You may stumble across stuff you really like.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Get yourself down to the engine rooms next weekend, Sex Pistols experience will be there.
