medichi Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Oh for fucks sake. Can't say I'm gutted - they were starting to sully their great rep with a few substandard tunes. Now Ginge, GET SG5 ON THE GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossP Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 gutted. Lemon Tree show was immense, even though i was ridiculously hungover.Now if only the Wildcards would split up............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm sad to say this doesn't really surprise me. Just imagine waht could've been. Again. "Must be Destroyed" did have a few songs which were substandard, but at least they were beginning to get a big of recognition. Both here and in the States. I think they were on borrowed time after Danny left the "original for the second time" lineup. At the end of the day they will always be a bunch of underachievers, which hurts as they wrote / write? amazing songs and have released two of my favourite albums (Earth Vs and PHUQ) SilverGinger 5 are incredibly good, but they're no Wildhearts.And Ginger writing songs and playing with a comedy, clapped out bunch of glam rockers makes me sick. he's SOOOOOOOOOO much better than that. I know he's in a bad place right now with all that's happened to him, but geez, there's low and there's low.Listen to Earth Vs and be reminded of the amazing tunes they wrote while rocking as hard as anyone.And wait for the reunion tour in six months...........................

You have to admit that was a joke. The photo that someone posted on this site made me sick.Endless Nameless is certainly a corker, and as you know has one of my fave singles ever (Anthem) and one of the best experiments in noise ever (Thunderfuck.) It gets my nod as most underrated album of the 90's. PHUQ just wins it for me - maybe it was the age we were when it first came out and the fact it is heavy as fuck but glossy and covered in sheen, but it's made the most lasting impression on me. Fuck sake, we used to be obsessed by that band, didn't we! I'm gonna "rediscover" Fishing For Luckies tonight as well, I think. That's a corker too.

Afro Droid Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 this came from a "fairly" reliable sourceIf by that you mean their booking agent, I wouldn't be 100% sure, having dealt with the business side of their "organisation" (HA!) a few times, things change on an hourly basis. Mind you, with The Wildhearts you can never be 100% sure about anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 there has been no word of this 'split' on the Wildhearts Mailing List, and usually something would filter through in less than 24 hours.I therefore label this rumour 'bollocks'.
