  1. he does come out with some classics e.g. from electronic's 'getting away with it' 'ive been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose' then we could go into new order spin off projects.... actually i really like revenge and i have just got my coat.

    A friend of mine got a drink poured over her in a student union in the early 90s when she went up to a guy wearing an Electronic tshirt and sang "I've been liking crap bands, all my life - getting away with it."

    Bit harsh I thought.

    No mention of True Faith? Or John Barnes' "rapping"?

  2. Well this thread prompted me to have a look at Jim's entry on wiki, didn't realise this:

    Reeves died when the small aircraft he was piloting crashed during a thunderstorm near Nashville, Tennessee.

    Both Reeves and the pilot of Patsy Cline's ill-fated plane were trained by the same instructor.

    It is now understood that Reeves was, in fact, flying the plane upside down and he assumed he was raising the craft some distance in an attempt to clear the path of the storm. Of course, this disastrously (and fatally) resulted in him taking the airplane downward and straight to the ground. This would have explained why, when the wreckage was eventually found some 42 hours later, the engine and nose of the plane were buried deep in the ground.

    Upside down plane stunts, rock and roll man. Even Bruce Dickinson wouldn't try that sort of stuff.

  3. Another qulaity Tarantino role can bee seen in the final sequence of Four Rooms starring Tim Roth as the film's only recurring character. Trantino wrote, directed and starred in this segment entitled The Man From Holywood which was an homage to a Hitchcock TV short.

    If you haven't seen Four Rooms, please don't bother just to see QT. His involvement notwithstanding, it's one of the worst films ever.

  4. It's not like this isn ordinary world tour, it's a total one-off for one of the most popularbands ever that hasn't played for 30 years or something. Given those circumstances, I would say 125 isn't too shabby, especially when you hear of the likes of Barbara Striesand charging 500 or something.

  5. Supply and demand my friend, they will charge as much as they think people will pay.

    Remember that your Meat Loaf punter is likely to be in his 30s/40s/50s with a job and decent disposable income and can therefore afford to pay more. I don't know who The Black Crusade are but if their fanbase is made up of students then they are never going to sell out the SECC at 50 a pop.

    As for Zep, I agree 125 is a lot but probably decent value if you take into account the other acts that are playing as well (assumes you think Paolo Nutini is worth paying to see.)

    Agree with you on the greatest hits thing, but the simple answer is "Just don't buy it."

  6. I had the Mormons round a couple of years ago. They were very impressed by my in-depth and accurate knowledge of their faith, all of which was gleaned from an episode of South Park. I asked if they were doing the whole street, but they said they had just chosen my house because it was near the bus stop and their bus was due soon.

    Wasn't Prince a Jehovas Witness for a while? I'm sure I read reports about him turning up at somebody's house, now that would be cool.

  8. Debenhams does a cracking breakfast, but Littlewoods was the best until it closed down. It was even better when you could still smoke in there, I used to enjoy going in and having a fry-up, reading the paper and having a couple of cigarettes with my pot of tea. I think each breakfast probably took a couple of years off my life.

    Yup, used to go in there all the time when I was a student, a "six of the best" and pot of tea came to a quid or something, then a few fags. Lots of minks though.

    Nowhere really like that now, maybe BHS?
