agree..I dont think I'll be doing another finsbury park...i'm just too old to passively smoke that much spliff again !
I think I'll be looking to see Oasis abroad.. somewhere in Europe ...

[hooya] 09/12/2003 17:15

They are great big gig performers but would love to see them at a small gig like Brixton achademy

[mr potato head] 09/12/2003 17:09

me too Hooya !...mind you there were 40,000 other people there that day ! but it was a great concert..I've just looked up on their website and no dates anywhere confirmed for next year yet...

[hooya] 09/12/2003 15:58

I was at Finsbury on the Sunday ! Thought the had a few European gigs planned but havent heard anything about UK

[mr potato head] 09/12/2003 15:46

hooya they cant even begin to compete with Oasis IMO
I saw them at Finsbury Park last year and they were great...anyone know if they're playing any gigs in the next year ?

[hooya] 09/12/2003 15:40

[mr potato head] 09/12/2003 15:38

Oasis ..Look back in anger
Rem ..losing my religion

I agree unplugged is very good.

[hooya] 09/12/2003 10:34

no but the MTV unplugged has to be on of the best modern day peformances ever imo. Although out of all the bands I have seen live in person I have to say Oasis are amazing, better live than on the CD, and there are not many bands you can say that about

[tim 3] 09/12/2003 10:31

Nirvana come as you are..........ever been in a mosh pit when that comes on

Vintage 1995. A true underground classic.

Yeah The Skids were a great band
Guitarist ( Scottish ) formed Big Country ( commited suicide in LA 2 years ago )
The singer is still working in Tele ( was on Channel 4 for ages ).
And still cant work out as a Celt how the black bass player was able to put together those fantastic harmonious bass riffs, altogether they were a fantasic band,
GL
In a Big Country was a great song and a massive hit ( and you ask any muso musician to play or cover it and it is impossible! )
By the way The Tourists ( punk Band )
and the Killjoys ( as above ) became quite famous too!

By the way on your computer type in : WWWPunk77/Skunks
The Skunks ( who were those guys in London in 1978 who defaced every bridge in London ) I recon it was Danny Baker working under an alias in between the reception job at the NME in Carnaby Street!GL.
A nice site and interviews to print out to every budding rock star or er Pop Idol!

The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More ( the smoothest female vocal I ever heard plus they had great guitar solos on a lot of their songs ) shame died early.
Fleetwood Mac - The Greatest Hits plus I always fancied the blonde and she could shake er a tamborine.
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone ( Highway 61 Revisited )

Eddie and The Hot Rods - Do Anything You Wanna Do
The Clash - Safe European Home
Bowie - Ziggy Stardust , Suffragette City , Heroes
Marc Bolan - Get It On
Imagine - John Lennon
And of course :
Behind Blue Eyes The Who
Baba O Reilly - WAS THE ANTHEM in every club before good ole Punk rock Thank God!

Agree Dave, if you are not offering and you are not paying for what you download, you are pretty safe. NOt alot they can do.

[dave37] 08/12/2003 15:49

just reading up on this p2p business, I have an article here saying that it is now(since oct2003) a CRIMINAL offence to offer files to others to be copied........

not to copy yourself, and for your own use, so things are hotting up.
