Steps petition to play with Barry Gibb

[Trout Mask Replica]

Steps, recently reformed, desperate for any oxygen of publicity. Let em f**kin choke as punishment for the first time round I say. 

Not very peace n love I know but they really are dogshit so they can f**k off.

Where's the petition then?

[BluePaul]

I saw Half Man Half Biscuit perform Tragedy a few years ago and very entertaining it was too. Now BG and HMHB together on the Pyramid - THAT would be worth getting down the front for.

There isn't one.  They were being interviewed and basically said 'Someone should do one - we'd love to do it.  We've never been asked.'

How about NO you fucking dingle berries.

Can I start a petition to perform with Radiohead then? Just like Steps I'm totally devoid of any musical talent and I'd quite like to play Glasto too.

Question is can you dance as well as Lee Latchford Evans? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I saw The Latch shaking his thang at the Fringe last year.

True story.

Saw them in November, they did Tragedy as an encore. I'd love to see them play the festival. I'd probably sit through Steps for them I love them that much.

I dance as well as a baggy jumper in a spin dryer.

Is it just me that finds the title of this thread gives a slightly disturbing image, I mean, Steps don't actually play anything musically, so....

Yeah it's that absolute sicko Ian Watkins...or H from Steps as he prefers to be called

[king_oxymoron]

Reporting is so shite these days, have seen so many places saying they've set up a petition themselves and make them sound desperate as f**k... when it reality it was just a passing comment. Of course they'd love to do it, who wouldn't.

I had to Google that, thought the name sounded familiar.

The whole actual Ian Watkins case was one of the most harrowing and disturbing things I'd ever read, but the fact it ended up with people thinking it was H from Steps did induce a bit of a guilty laugh.

Acts that get better with age are in such an extreme minority that they might as well not exist.  You're just gonna have to factor in whatever affection you have for the songs against the possibility that the performer will be showing some signs of wear and tear.

Besides, people have on days and off days.  Case in point is Macca.  You can find any number of video clips with ropey vox and people will tell you that his voice has gone for good, but I saw him a couple of years back and he sang very well, delivering one of the best gigs I've ever seen.  A few years previous to that he wasn't anywhere near so hot.

I remember people saying Ozzys voice has gone but I saw him live this year and it was as good as ever. 

Im not really a fan so ill prob not watch this anyway but if people are going of a ingle song from a year previous it might well fair better with more prep and whose to say they wont be working with a backing band in toe. Plus a good sound tech can do wonders.

The context made it absolutely impossible for it to be funny. It was probably particularly unpleasant for "H" (his name doesn't even begin with an H, what's the story there?) as well.

"H" got death threats for quite a while after and it proper made his life a hassle, I recall reading. And I would say that those who sent them would have been egged on by peeps not confused and deliberately labelling "H" from Steps a paedo, considering he doesn't actually go by his given name. Pretty far from funny, all things considered.

Can I petition for Steps to fuck back to the nineties/early noughties instead?

Why stop there? Why not just grab them all and put them, screaming, in to a cryogenic vault, knowing that some unfortunately inquisitive and hapless person in hundreds of years to come, will stumble across the vault, and open it. Wow, are they in for a shock, when that lot thaw out and start playing. I mean, how do  you deal with that sudden and catastrophic, change in your life? 

Edited - because I hadn't finished, but then lost my trail of thought and.................. 

I don't know what 'and' .
