Crusoe

I noticed the copy of Up-Tight. The book about Velvet underground. I have a copy downstairs

No oven gloves?

The irony of the baby in a photograph chasing the dollar, now chasing the dollar because he was the baby in the photograph chasing the dollar...

I only found out recently that Steve Jones had written the song "Lonely Boy". We used to cover it about 30 years ago and for some reason I thought that it was a Pistols cover of a song by Eddie Cochrane or someone like that.

Linda McCartney. Must be one of Paul's old ones.

She didn't say, but probably. 😄

I was listening to Pop Master on Radio 2 this morning and this came up as one of the questions. The contestant answered correctly and then said that the band came from her home town. 😄

I'm sorry to hear it. My condolences to Martin's family and friends

This was the same for me, except that with Metallica it was ''' And Justice For All. I hated the Black album.

Ben Stiller has let himself go

Editors never really made it as big as I thought they should have. I saw them live in Belfast and they were excellent.

yeah, but you don't get audiences in the Albert Hall drunkenly shouting "play Beethoven's ninth..." at the conductor😄

Get the singer to change the lyrics to "Socks on Fire". The punters will never notice the difference if (s)he puts a bit of an American twang on it and you can all have a little private chuckle.

That has a real "singer wanted his girlfriend to be in the band" vibe. 🤣

A couple of the replies have brought up memories: Album tours - I saw Lou Reed a few years ago when he toured the Berlin album. That is an album that works when played live in its entirety. He was incredible. There was a children's choir and the while production was just fantastic. He played Satellite of Love for an encore and came to the front of stage to sign autographs afterwards. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Bumpers - I saw Suede when they toured Dog Man Star many moons ago. There was a loud studenty type bloke annoying everyone during the support act; jumping around and generally being a nuisance. When Suede came on I looked over to the side of the hall and saw the annoying git lying on the floor fast asleep, where he remained for the entire set.

trying to decide whether or not to wear a coat, especially in winter. You might have to wait outside for some time before the doors open, then you get in and it's hot and sweaty, but there's no cloakroom and you don't want to carry a big coat or have it tied around your waist all evening.

Young women sitting on their boyfriends' shoulders. 🤬 Crowdsurfers. I was at a gig once (may have been the Manics) and some silly billy thought it would be cools to crowdsurf when nobody else thought the same. A few people punched him in the balls as he passed over. He got to the front and kicked a young woman on the back of the head as he went over the barrier and fell on to the ground. When he stood up the girl's boyfriend floored him with one punch.

Would Fade to Grey count?

3 pages in and no one has mentioned Peter Hook yet. Until now.

or going back to '58, being a teenager and listening to Link Wray's "Rumble"

Not in the UK it wasn't.

why? Just why?

I just checked and Chic have never had a UK number one! As for starting the thread with ...Rhythm Stick, that kind of makes the thread redundant straight away. 😄

get in the sea...
