Scenester1 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It seems a couple of years ago that everyone loved Joy Division it seems trendy to hate them! Got to say I've never been the biggest fan myself though but they are alright bit depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The Darkness - i liked their 1st album' date=' but so over-rated. Hawkins will be on a reality tv show within the next 5 years to revive his flagging "career".U2 - slap on some delay, and have some whining self important c*nt rant on. never got them, Bono is the biggest wank on the planet.Coldplay - Don't get me started on this mob. dull, depressing, i do not get them at all.[/quote']I don't like them or anything but anyone who criticises Coldplay for being "depressing" renders anything else they say totally invalid.

betamax Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I love how you capitalise all the bands' date=' so CONTROVERSIAL do you consider your choices to be. Oh MY, how could you SAY the UNSAYABLE? This is all so UNEXPECTED.

jester1470 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 no doubt dude' date=' he's got ALL the skills! I love SAHB! /x[/quote']I've seen the SAHBs 5 or 6 times I think, from 95 onwards. I definitely preferred the previous lineup to this one where the singer is imo weak, but I would have loved to see the original band with the late Alex Harvey. I got into them through Fish covering 2 of their songs, then saw them playing the smae bill in 95, great intro to them. A very, very underated band,like Mott the Hoople, we need an underated band thread...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was spellbinding live.I reckon that "Delilah" effective torpedoed their shot at glory. I say that because whenever you mentioned SAHB, folk would look nonplussed, then go "Oh aye, them that did thon Tom Jones song? Good laugh that!". They were criminally mistaken for a vaudeville act and I think many people dimissed them for that.Cleminson is God. I had him lined up to sign the scratchplate on my new Strat (USA, of course) at the Garage gig, but had to miss it coz I was I'll.Bummer - I'll catch them this year hopefully - after missing the frist 5 numbers of the Moshulu gig.Good idea - let's start an "Underrated Band" thread - It'll be positive at least!!!

GraemeC Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band are my all time faves. All you guitarists should catch them later this year for a masterclass in musicianship and showmanship from Zal Cleminson - he's the reason I started playing:up:I was listening to the "Live" album before I came to work, I was lucky enough to see them live (with Alex) at the Apollo many years ago, I saw them at the Lemon tree as the Sensational party boys and then at Drummonds a couple of years ago, they are one of my fav bands of all time....

Diesel Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Where and when?I'm assuming that they will play Aberdeen again Nov/Dec 2006. Certainly that's the impression I got from the posts on the Yahoo forum (SAHBSTORY). Martin Kielty' date=' their manager, seemed pretty positive that they'll be back.There was also a mention of a special Aberdeen gig beacuse of the f***-up at Moshulu, where most of us missed 30-40% of the show, owing to an early start. I don't know if you caught them last time or in 2004, but they are on [b']fire. The new singer, Max Maxwell, is settling in nicely and his voice has improved out of sight this year.I always thought Zal was brilliant, but his playing was stratospheric this time out. Myself and my long-time tutor (a genius guitarist himself) were simply blown away. It's made me raise my game and I'm practicing harder than ever, although I know I couldn't ever carry his gig bag.Always happy to spraff with another SAHBster DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer_eldritch Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I cannot understand the big love-in folk have with Mogwai.I only have one Mogwai album, and although its alright, i find it pretty repetitive.

medichi Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Mogwai doubters should listen to the "Come on, Die Young" album - my favourie by a long shot, and certainly justifies the hype, even if other albums aren't *quite* as good.

britheguy Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Coldplay...the new U2....god help usColdplay are without doubt over rated.So were U2 IOM.whilst ranting about U2....It never siezes to amaze me when people like Bono say they are trying to save the starving world.
