Radagast Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I saw Sunn O))) last night - what a load of absolute non-music rubbish. But at least the first 15 minutes were vaguely entertaining absolute non-music rubbish. Curiosity: satisfied, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbergeehh Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Saw The Raconteurs at the Apollo tonight in Manc. Top band - Jack White is an axe legend! Saw them in Denmark this summer, fantastic concert. Not only Jack White's redefining of 'entertainment', but also the extremely solid backup band. I also liked that Brendan whatshisname's vocals - did they cover David Bowie by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbergeehh Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) A bit off-topic, but has anyone tried "Guitar Hero"? Now, my guitar playing is limited to a C, a G and a D, which makes this game even more entertaining - kinda' makes you feel like a guitar hero. (erm) Anyway, good fun before a night out, the day after or any other day of the week. Edited October 16, 2006 by herbergeehh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't recognise any Bowie covers but they did do a cracking version of Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbergeehh Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) Ah yes, forgotten about that one, the original is also on the Kill Bill soundtrack I believe. Nothing beats surprising cover songs. (E.g. Fran Healy singing Britney Spears) EDIT: The song I was referring to is called "It ain't easy", originally published by Ron Davies, but known for being a Bowie-song. (actually, Jack White said "This is a Bowie-song", at Roskilde..) Edited October 16, 2006 by herbergeehh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcj_jones Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 YES!! Got tickets to Idlewild in Portsmouth! Bit of a trek but the only one of three venues that hadn't sold out. Absolutely ecstatic. I've been to a fair few gigs and to a few bands that I really like. I've even been to see Morrissey twice, which was amazing. Yet I've never been more excited about a gig before. I actually feel privilaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackroyd75 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Went to see The Stranglers in Preston on Saturday, They were superb, far better as a four. The new album Suite 16 is far better than i thought it would be. Highly recommended..........if your like me having a mid life crisis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Went to see Embrace at the Apollo last Friday night (13th) First gig in ages. Thought Embrace were ok but nothing special. They played well, but the singer (in my opinion) is poor. His voice just doesn`t come across well & they played what seemed like a couple of keys lower than on their albums. Maybe this is to help save his voice when on tour....but i still don`t like it. I think U2 have adopted the same policy of playing in a lower key. On a brighter note, the support band was Delays who sounded fresh (if not a tad girlie) but had great 4 part harmony vocals. They impressed me more than the headline act. I too am awaiting the 10th Nov with baited breath! ...plus also, Snow Patrol are doing an extra Christmas show at the GMex....Mankyster. Tickets go on sale Friday morning. I`m setting my alarm for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovermatt Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I bought John Mayer's new album Continuum the other day. The first four tracks are astoundingly good. It does slip slightly from thereon but is saved by a great cover of Hendrix's All Is Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Great vid..... Great song It is a great song....but a new video to an old song? (or have I just not seen it before) "The Masterplan" was the B side to either "Some might Say" or Roll with It ( Can't quite remember) in 1995 ...confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new album Suite 16 is far better than i thought it would be. Highly recommended..........if your like me having a mid life crisis! Now that takes me back to my youth. They were my favourite band for a long time. But I just can't get into the new stuff. For me it will always be Black, Burnel, Cornwell and Greenfield.

LeChuck Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Going to see Modest Mouse now as well. Really excited. And so you should be, they're an amazing live band.

percy Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 And so you should be, they're an amazing live band. Please tell me what you think when you've been to see them, I don't know many people who have done. I saw them in Manchester the other year, they were superb! I only knew the material from 'Good News...', but the other stuff sounded ok too! Songs like 'Float On and 'The World At Large' were brilliant live, but they didn't play 'Bury Me With It' - that'd have made my night ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
