I shall be interested in my son's view of the album as it's the first band he has liked without us introducing them to him. Also am taking him to see them in Feb too so I hope it's bearable!

We were there too. Thought they were amazing.

See you in Southampton!

Indeed! I will always remember the only time I ever saw White Lion. Tyketto were support and needless to say Mike Tramp paled into insignificance after Danny Vaughn's stellar performance.

Danger Danger Tyketto Gotthard Stage Dolls Robin Beck. An absolutely amazing weekend!

It was a great set and closed the weekend on a huge high. Roll on next year!

I'll third that!

Love'em.Seeing them at Brixton tomorrow and looking forward to it! Also like the Hold Steady but not as much as hubby does. Still a good band though.
Forum: Noticeboard

DVDs here too.Sounds good though. Am looking forward to it!

The stage show was much better. The story flowed better although still full of cliches!

Alright Now by Free on it's second release in 1973. Still an brilliant song. Also loved the glam rock stuff of Slade and the Sweet, not to mention Mott the Hoople and Queen. A great era for music for me.

ARFM, Steve Price's show on Sat and Sun night (6 til 9 UK time). I have discovered some amazing stuff through listening to Steve (not to mention winning some Nightranger tickets when they played London a while back!)

I love this band's music but they always disappoint me live. Won't let myself get sucked in again. Rob Thomas is a great song writer but his voice doesn't stand up live.

In my experience it quite often happens at this time of the year. Dates are planned before but not announced until after festival appearances so the festival tickets sell.

Am with you on this too. Saved the lives of many members of my family so can't complain.

Queen without a doubt. I was 12 when A Night at the Opera came out and I was hooked. Fell for Springsteen and Tom Petty in the following few years. Whitesnake, UFO and Rainbow as the 80s began and then I ceased to be a teenager.

I too love the acoustic version too. I think it gets close to the pathos of the subject matter better than the album version. I too have to wait until July but thanks for the review. So glad you had a good time.

It came out in UK on Friday so hope to catch it soon. Loved the stage show. Have seen it twice.

Born in 63 and didn't become Mum until 03 so there was a lot of gig going done in that time (and still do!) 16/17 when NWOMHM exploded seeing some amazing bands in London every week. Lots of fun in the 80s, rock clubbing and gig going. Am lucky to still be able to watch bands and take our son with us to festivals and gigs without age restriction.

Saw it back in September during the preview. It was great fun, not to be taken seriously.A lot of the songs will be unfamiliar to a non rock audience so if it spreads the word I'm happy too.

As Gill says it's different for girls however never did the really big hair as had a boyfriend with a bike so it was flattened under the helmet most nights out. Was a naturally curly fake blond for most of the 80s. Am a naturally curly fake red head now. Covers up the grey!

Bruce has confirmed for HRC. We bought tickets last week. I think High Voltage has not been scheduled for this year. Bummer about TOm Petty though. It's term time so I have no chance of going.

Heard it on the radio the other morning. Thought it was not their best work at all. Shame really as they are so good live.

Went to the London show Saturday night. He was brilliant then too. As you say worth the 19 year wait. Let's hope he doesn't leave it so long next time.

It's been saying 'coming soon' for around six months now. Shame really as it's a lot of fun!
Forum: Noticeboard

Agree whole heartedly with the review. Styx were good. Foreigner were amazing. Kelly Hansen is a brilliant front man. Our son has asked us endlessly to play the Foreigner live CD over and over again since Saturday night. Enjoyed Journey but have seen them when the mix was better. Had to leave after 'Anyway you want it' as our son was so exhausted. For all three of us a memorable night out thou

I agree. It sounds like Andrew Lloyd Webber or something of that ilk. Truely abysmal.

Tyketto for me too and all the aforementioned wonderful British bands from the early 90s, Little Angels, Thunder, Dare, FM, etc.
