Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Or how about Extreme Noise Terror' date=' Pelican June 92.[/quote']How about it indeed! I still feel sorry for Styme, poor bastard broke his leg halfway through.I still have my ticket of the ENT gig, I keep it in my "Phonophobia" LP.Actually, a lot of my records have stuff like tickets, posters, ads, interviews tucked away in them. It's a good way to keep them in pristine nick. Can't really do that with CD's, more fuel for the "Vinyl is better than CD's" argument.

Metalhed Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Also saw Soundgarden support Guns N' Roses at Gateshead - Faith No More were the other band on the bill. GNR were shite.fangs for the mamary! i was at that gig (was it '92?). agree with the gnr quote: particular highlight was slash messing up his showpiece unaccompanied guitar solo :-)faith no more had some real patton / martin tension - think he tried to kick him during one of his guitar solos...confusing at the time but well funny looking backsoundgarden were simply immense...but then, they are the best thing to come out of seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Pel Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I just had a quick keek at mine....what amused me was the prices for some of the early gigs I went to...I've a feeling Hawkwind at the Cowdray Hall was in 'old money'' date=' but Yes and King Crimson were 60p each! Things turned pricey with Led Zeppelin at 2 quid!(John Martyn.....20p!!!!)The Pixies one at the Venue was a shocking fiver!!![/quote']Wow! Thats immense.I guess the stones back in the day would have been similar. You can buy tickets for this summer in Glasgow for 150. Bargain!

Neill Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I just wish I got tickets when on a guest list (what what !)Somewhere I have a backstage passes for Sonic Youth in Glasgow. Does that count?And sadly somewhere I actually have the guest list for AC Temple (Embra venue). Well fuck me it had my name and address on the top of it (on Blast First headed paper no less).Just a pity it wasn't for Dinosaur or Rapeman...

Neill Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Was that the Sonic Youth/Mudhoney one? It was fab. I have a cassette of it somewhere.It was indeed. Both nights. Except that I didn't really get to see much of Sonic Youth as I was selling t-shirts. They were kind of blown away by Mudhoney in Newcastle the night previous...Got to hang out with Suzanne Sesnic (cool rock chick) and Mudhoney and saw both their sets though. Wouldn't mind hearing the cassette sometime mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
