Fast Caz Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 He is a fucking knobend but some of the music is pretty good might just buy a ticket for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 He's an amazing performer who has written some classic songs, don't see why everyone has such a problem with him, 'Goodbye yellow brick road', Sacrifice, Benny and the jets, I'm still standing, classic rock/pop. As a performer he ceratinly rates as one of the best i've ever seen, and I've seen a few great ones. I went to see him last year the same week i went to see Iron maiden, i was much more looking forward to maiden, and Elton John gave the better and longer show and the sound was much better, basically was just better !!CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yeah, I can see that, though I have to say he came accross much better on stage than I ever believed he would, i'm sure he is a tosser but I'd still spend the money on seeing him anyday,CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 (To the Tune of "My Old Man Said Follow the Van")"Don't sit down when Elton's around,Unless you want a penis up your arse."As sung by away fans when he was chairman of Watford.

I quite like some fo the 80's and 90's stuff, things like 'Sacrifice' etc. I also can't think of any band that's been around for 35 years and not done some pish stuff, often more pish than good, but people get remembered for their good stuff, reminds me of that bit in High Fidelity. should a once great artist be judged on his present crimes or past triumphs, when talking about Stevie Wonder. When we saw him he played a lot of the odler stuff including his cover of pinball Wizard, and if he plays a similar set, he'll be worth seeing, CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 fair enough i see your point though i thought sacrifice was utter pish of the highest order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
