The Off Season Leftfield thread
We are between seasons,and I have had a few cold ones this afternoon,so I thought that I would start a random thread to pass the time until the Football resumes,,not of the usual "Top 5 fave bands,books,"etc,but 5 that you THINK people should listen to,or read,or watch,or whatever.
So,to kick it off,here is my list of 5 bands that I think people should give a listen to:-
HP Lovecraft
Fountains of Wayne
King Missile
My Morning Jacket
Cosmic Rough Riders

Re: The Off Season Leftfield thread
Well I'm too old to have heard of any of them but back in the 70's I used to enjoy several bands who were just below the mainstream and can now be unearthed on youtube;
Stackridge
Skid Row
Osibisa
Burnin Red Ivanhoe
Blodwyn Pig
Yeah, I'm very old

Re: The Off Season Leftfield thread
A mate came round yesterday to watch Scotland v England,so obviously a few beers.
He told me that he had paid the thick end of £300 for 2 U2 tickets at Twickenham for the Joshua Tree 30th tour.
I told him that 30 years ago I may have paid to see them,but they are now just bloated,pompous,self-righteous wankers,and I wouldn't go to watch them if they were playing in my local,even if they gave me a rider.
Agree or disagree?

You know you are getting a little older when a group decides to pop (pun intended) up after 20 years and to gain a few hundred thousand quid for their pension funds!Rugby Gooner wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 5:50 pmA mate came round yesterday to watch Scotland v England,so obviously a few beers.

Agree. Bono is one of the world's biggest hypocrites. Can't stand them.Rugby Gooner wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 5:50 pmA mate came round yesterday to watch Scotland v England,so obviously a few beers.

Yeah agree ..Was a fan in the early 80s but wouldn't go to their Dublin concert even if offered a free ticket. That isn't necessarily for musical reasons..I just couldn't spend hours looking at them.Rugby Gooner wrote: ↑Sun Jun 11, 2017 5:50 pmA mate came round yesterday to watch Scotland v England,so obviously a few beers.

Agreed.
Bono will probably spend most of the concert delivering his expert opinion on world events whilst he continues his crusade to get a knighthood like his compatriot Bob!
deluded prick!

Re: The Off Season Leftfield thread
I haven't taken U2 seriously since I saw bono in leather trousers ,turtle neck jumper and a a mullet haircut doing I will follow but I got dragged to see them in the palladium NYC in 82-3 and they were very good .
I saw my old friend Jock McDonald aka Jerry O'Donnel in concert Saturday night in Brighton,The Bollock Bothers remain fantastic !

Re: The Off Season Leftfield thread
Boner (copyright Beavis & Butthead ) is a pompous twat. Never particularly liked their music either tbh (the guitar playing is schoolboy level ) but when Boner starts pontificating about world poverty and green issues (after flying in from one of his mansions on a private jet) I just switch off completely. Prize prick.

Makes me laugh when multi millionaires whose careers and wealth were given a massive boost by live aid don't pay tax in any country , ask me for money to help the poor in Africa .
