I don’t think appearance matters if they can still cut it live. Of course not, it was a personal observation. I don't claim they can't play, I simply mean that for me it looks like some fat blokes doing covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The Stones - just an overpriced Stones tribute act now. Nothing new since Exile on Main Street. Just the same old same old. Good luck to them, but I won't be indulging McCarney - I'm biased, I never liked him. Fakey McFakerson IMO. But he's done nothing worth hearing for decades either The oldies I still want to hear? Springsteen (not the same as the 80's, but the changes are good and the flame still burns), Robert Plant (seems to get better and better. Thank you Alison Krauss for reining in the extremes of his style), Kate Bush (a Goddess, now and always) and Tom Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are real pubs with these names, but that's just a coincidence. Edited September 27, 2022 by Dad3353 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue How long have you been kicking around Blighty without coming across a ''Farm Animal & Traditional Tool Item''? There was a chain of ''Animal & Firkin'' pubs that used to sell some pretty good ales. A firkin is a ye olde size of beer barrel. Never heard them mentioned on here. I hope they didn't go bust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people are happy to see their idols safe in the knowledge that they're not as good as they used to be. It's not all about the quality of the performance and has a lot to do with letting them know that they are still cherished and appreciated for what they have given us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my youth I guess this would depend on the definition of “legendary.” Are JJ Burnel, Jah Wobble, Simon Gallop, Peter Hook or Sir Horace Gentlemen considered legendary?

diskwave Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I dislike old Punk type bands. Punk was about being young, boyish, skinny, and image was everything as well of the bril music of course.....Id prob go see the Pistols cause they are a cultural experience but the rest, nope.

Punk is/was all about challenging convention and having a do it yourself attitude rather than it being about a boyish and skinny image. Age has nothing to do with it, just happened to be that the punk movement was full of young skinny people in the 70s when it emerged.
