It's Pete alright. 'Think its gonna end pretty soon... burp... ...giggle...''

I assume you were at the Enraptured all-dayer in 97/98ish when Azusa Plane playerd there. Quentin did some ENTHUSIASTIC drumming that night. Also to be considered re the drumming thing should be Dave Francolini!!! As far as Spz drummers go for me it's Jonny Mattock. As a non muso i've no idea if he...

What, Jim McHenson?

Haven't we been here before? With the same dudes? I can't see how someone who doesn't like a city and who has never been there is going to influence someone who lives in said city and who does. I've only ever been to Detroit once, and I loved it. I was made welcome, I saw a great gig (Flaming Lips, ...

Woah! Right below the belt there!

I would probably consider the 2 to be the same, but some wouldn't I suppose.

I'm with clewsr here. Its so easy for someone to write a one-sided history as Mudskipper has done. Mudskipper: I have close Jewish friends, several close American friends (couple who are both), as well as some close Arab friends, and I can safely say that if you generalise about any nationaility/Rel...

Having been through people's initial exposure to live music I wondered what people would say was the greatest live band they've ever seen. Having done much head scratching I can safely say (and I so didn't want it to come out like this as its a little obvious) that my own nomination is... ...Spiritu...

Having spent some time with this DVD (many thanks to Laz69) I can post a few comments. The interviews are a lot of fun. 4 very stoned looking blokes, 3 of whom say nothing, being asked questions by Alan McGee. Jason looks in the first few clips like he would SO much rather be somewhere else. I must ...

My God - I'd love to see Kawabata with Oneida - who I thought were pretty spectacular when I saw them just once. Kid Millions is one of the most energetic drummers in live music history. I'd also have given a lot to have witnessed Kawabata play with Kinski on that last tour in the US. Kinski must ra...

In other words, you're saying "who knows"? Well, that's no help. ;) (Thanks for the response, though.) If its 'official', as you like to term it, then the name of the band has actually changed. Think about it. You're following a 'new' band. In terms of name that is. Like I said, take it h...

Take it how you want it. The R thing is more recent. originally it was Spiritualized, then someone said it was 'Spiritualized Lazer Guided Melodies'; it was then suggested it would become 'Spiritualized Rocket Shaped Songs'; then when the Electric Mainline EP came out it was reported the name would ...

The incredible Acid Mothers Temple are playing a few UK dates at the end of the month. The 2 I saw previously were utterly mind blowing. Kawabata Makoto is possibly the most outrageous and exciting guitarist I've ever seen. At one point he was kicking his guitar around the floor while holding the ne...

Sheesh. No one has menioned reggae. How is this possible? Reggae and weed are the ultimate match in music/substance combination. This is actual FACT. It isn't an opinion. The two go hand in hand as they were destined to do so. Recommendations on this would be mostly dub orientated, but the crucial p...

Lou played it. Obviously any lead guitar the least bit dissonant on a VU record was Lou. Everybody knows that (stamps feet). How can I trust you to pick out bass parts when you can't even tell the difference between Sterling "Steve Cropper" Morrison and Lou "Lou Reed" Reed? Righ...

Voyager 1! Ahh me... What a slice of genuine genius it is - well spotted Mr S as it was of course a kind of official release... I'm going to stick my neck out here as this is going against what I normally prefer to write, but I do feel very strongly about this. The most overrated album/band in the l...

I think you're certainly right here. An interesting point is when people say they love The Verve ('oh - one of my favourite bands') yet the only album they have is Urban Hymns - I've heard that so many times. To me (pompous, opinionated, dimissive etc. here) they've simply missed the point of the ba...

Some very interesting reading here, and many points I wouldn't have thought would surface in what I believed was simply an opportunity to babble on about music people don't like. I'm all for defending music I'm into and try to make points as to why I feel that way. Incidentally I don't know the firs...

Comes across as a chance to simply vent anger against records you dislike. '20 things I hate about you' etc.? You recently launched into a tirade against $26 - the thing that really pisses me off about that guy is his urgency to slag off albums/songs/artists he dislikes. He cannot resist it and it i...

YOu make your choices for what feels right at the time. We can make right or wrong choices in other aspects of life apart from drugs.

No one does...you get a brief flurry any time there's some product in the offing (and that means with a proper programmed release date and everything, cos by definition there's always a 'new record' being worked on). Until then, it's just us and what passes for our sense of humour. Got it in one. T...

Spirtualized at Glastonbury 2004 was great as well.

$26 asked me to post something on here to say he hasn't been at all well recently and his absence here of late is down to that.

The worst thing about hangovers (and I will depress many with this) is that they get MUCH worse the older you get.

I am not kidding. Ask anyone. I still suffer despite thinking I know better.

That's right. I carved it into the run-out groove with an old kitchen knife myself - 'Runcemen Jam' I think it was. Featuring only me - on spoons.

I prefer 'experienced' to old, thank you. But I'm excited by the initial replies. I also saw Marillion - more than once! I was trying to capture that Peter Gabriel Genesis era I guess (and failing miserably). And I saw U2 - Dec 6th 1982 and they were amazing. Saw 'em again March 22nd 1983 and they w...

Can't remember anyone covering this. We all talk about 'last albums you bought' etc. So come on - be honest. What were the first 5 gigs you ever saw? I don't count school or college bands, I'm talking proper entry fee concerts. Obviously I have to go first: 1. Devo, London, Dec 3rd 1978 2. Ian Dury ...

Almost certainly. But I am not in Leeds, just nearby.

If you think I'd sacrifice rolling green countryside and fields for built up city and high speed web connection you are incorrect.

That drug stuff, although true, has another side. Pete was happy to talk about drugs so that's mainly what journos wanted to talk about. He said a lot of other interesting stuff but they printed what would come across as controversial, and in the late 80s it was most unusual for a musician to go on ...

If you had heard some of Gabriels genesis maybe you wouldnÂ´t be so proud of missing it.. Still trying to get my head round this comment. I would LOVE to download your Zep stuff though, but being Download Boy it takes me a day to get a full length CD. One day the miracle of broadband will hit the c...

A very simple argument in which to produce a conclusion. Play Loop's finest moments (which were dazzling, I have to admit) alongside the Spacemen's. Loop were a great band but their music has dated, but Spacemen 3's has not. Which Spacemen fan did not shed a sigh of awe at the first hearing of Forge...

Their importance lies in the moment that some nobody hears the opening measures of Down On The Street and their musical perspective is altered (maligned?) forever. It's instinctive and unquantifiable. Strange. This is a phenomenon with which I have little intimacy. My first Stooges album was Fun Ho...

In other words, can you imagine being locked in your office for even a weekend, with nothing but the Stooges to listen to? If you listen to as many records as I do the monotony would be stomach-churning. Ha ha! The guy I started Runcible with many years ago (now running the more reggae-orientated b...

Little known band Sciflyer are pretty good and have some nicely tripped out moments. Think their album is called Fair Weather Karma but I don't have it to hand. Also recommended are Suntan who sound a little like Loop but a little gentler and more spacier.

I have never heard Led Zep described as prog rock before - I've listened to them zillions of times and it never even occurred to me. Idiotic people sometimes class them as metal The actual basis is more blues and r 'n' b than anything, but with the amps turned way up. I'll volounteer I used to play ...

Thanks Muscles. Your habit of posting large piccies slows my machine down massively. We don't all have broadband y'know. Some of us live in such remote areas that will never offer it and dial up is the only way.

Enough - kindly cease. Thank you please.

If I didn't know you better I'd say your choices might be alcohol influenced.

Oooh! One of my top ten is on u_nderscore's list! Hurrah!

Repeated investigation of the Zep DVD proved a couple of things I hadn't paid enough attention to before. Firstly how a good rhythm player Jimmy Page is. Sure the big riffs are gigantic but his ability to make the whole thing chug along with that deep Les Paul growl is phenomenal. 'Whole Lotta Love'...

Good grief. The usual amount of statistics, 26. But then I once remember a discussion with you on albums by some band and we got into talking about one in particular. Probably something by The Byrds. You said you wouldn't consider it even your 'seventh favourite', making me realise I had a certain w...

Sundial were pretty hit and miss. The best gigs I saw, such as at the Powerhaus in 1993, were akin to Spacemen gigs in style - full of mad sonic noise and a crazy projection light show. Gary Ramon's guitar ability was without question, his vocals were otherwise. Other Way Out (either version is good...

This time 26 can't wait for someone to mention someone he doesn't particularly care for so he's started the thread himself. Very good. I completely agree with Warmth - On The Beach has some dazzling moments, so has a lot of his other stuff. Does 26 really not like Cinammon Girl? Listen to any versio...

Good God Almighty. We'll be onto masturbation in the flick of a wrist if we're not careful.

If I could justify UB40 I'd be a rock critic (nice how their name is running along at the moment...!). I'll side with you on Zodiac Mindwarp. For a millionth of a second he was God's gift to drug rock. How many times did he write the same song? Well, no one knows for sure, but whichever version 'Hig...
