I've been listening to Gong ALL day, so I've decided to start an appreciation thread here. Anyone else here enjoy Gong? Also to announce they are playing a 3 day festival in Amsterdam in November, which i would rather die than miss. Steve Hillage's System 7 are also playing a set amongst loads of other acts at the festival. I can only assume that Hillage isn't going to go all the way to Amsterdam and NOT play with his old band Gong so i'm literally crapping myself about this event. Info on the gig can be found at www.planetgong.co.uk I hope im not the only Gong lover on the site
why is this thread raging on? A pub/venue has the right to serve/refuse/ask anyone to leave at their own discretion. End of. And hopefully end of this thread.
Au contraire. I think it tells you all you need to know about a band when the question of whether they're good or not hinges on the PRODUCTION, and even the bloody snare sound, on their albums. That goes for the likes of PiL and the Cocteau Twins, too.
