Marillionboy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Well thanks a bloody bunch whoever was in the Twig last night for putting on two hours of music that consisted of ELP (That's fine)Everything on there by Iron Maiden,ditto Sabbath, ditto Led Zep ditto Deep Purple.You probably have all this at home but i don't really work well for anyone who ainb't a diehard. Bit of etiquette next time ;-)All good bands but fuck's sake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zeenat Aman Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Criminal offence in my house.ELP's first album gets a spin every now and then in my house. Greg Lake's Fuzz bass, oh yes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 hahahahahahahahaELP are pretty damn awful. Though i still think "fanfare for the common man" is ace. If everyone in the world woke up to that track, we would all be living in a far better place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yep, it was Fanfare they played, a great track (well the single version anyway).As Sophie well knows ELP are fine in my book, but if that jukebox had had five tracks by them they would have been played in succession too! And Iron Maiden are fucking dreadful. "The perpetually appalling Iron Maiden there" as Mark Lamarr once said.Deep Purple don't even have five good songs in their repertoire so that was about our cue to leave. They emptied three tables while we were there! Cute waifish girl in a Slipknot top was with the group who put them on: she should have sorted them out!

Flash@TMB Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Unfortunately the Wigs days as a vaguely rock orientated bar look to be numbered. I fondly remember it's golden era from '88-'96. Sadly the place has recently been sold and from what I gather the new management are not planning to respect it's rocky heritage.For me things started to go downhill when the introduced BIG SCREEN SPORT. Ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Spot on Sir... why does every pub (bar The Moorings ) insist on tv's? When the Scotland Italy game was on I could not find a single other bar in Aberdeen that wasn't showing it, and this was a Saturday night. If people want to watch tv stay at home!

Marillionboy Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 It's not as if there's a lack of other pubs showing them though is it? Aberdeen is top heabvy with them. The Moorings to me is a place for socialising and listening to music. Watchig tv is a fairly antisocial habit: how infuriating is it to talk to someone who's looking over your head at the screen half the time or you're being drowned out but sporadic "ah!"..."yes!!" "argh!" sounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Moorings would be much better if it showed the odd game or rugby matchesMy worst nightmare. A bunch of fat latent homosexual skinheads chasing each other round a field and simulating forced group intercourse.The Moorings caters for those that aren't interested in sport... although this may change sometime after the year 2030.
