Freebass

It's going to be like the 1989 Wednesday V Liverpool fixture in there. I'm going to give it a look though

Saw Freebass on Monday night at York Duchess. First gig of the tour, and you could tell they weren't that well rehearsed as they spent a lot of time, heads down concentrating on playing right. Managed to pull it off though. Although as someone else posted on one of the other postings - Hooky was quite miserable until towards the end.

BTW Mani tweeted to Emily Eavis a few weeks ago after U2 pulled out asking if Freebass could have their slot or any other at the festival, I'm guessing they were added to the bill soon after.

But to make a joke out of it is pretty low.

Didn't think he was trying to make a joke out of it, if he was then obviously I'm not condoning it.

Saw them on Tuesday night at the 100 Club - won't be bothering again.

Wouldn't be expecting any more gigs from Freebass, going by Mani's twitter.

A couple of quotes from it:

"We were all laughing behind his back watching the stupid w*nk struggle to do the same old shit he's done for the last 30 years !!"

Saw this earlier. Was really interested in the project as well. Ah well

albums not even out yet is it?

The album is still coming out, a week on Monday I think.

[Insomaniac]

He's closed down his twitter now, which is fair enough as he did make a massive twat of himself

You can't say

"I've actually got an ongoing career, so I don’t feel the need to exploit my past glories. I exist in the here and the now."

and

"I'm getting back with the 'real' players tomorrow, thank f**k. Can’t be doing with talentless nostalgia f**kwit whores."

when your main gig this year is performing an album from 19 years ago. One which he didn't even play on.

[Vieuphoria]

Meh i like Mani

plus he couldnt get that pissy for no reason.

You've got to agree with Mani. I like Hook but I don't agree with him touring the record.

Mani is one of my favourite bassists of all time and he comes across as a top bloke. An all-round legend basically. But I don't understand why he formed a band with Hooky in the first place if he condemns Hooky living off Ian Curtis' legacy. Personally I don't think he is, but why is all this coming out now? Poor form from the man tbh.

Peter Hook does seem to come across as a bit of as dick really, but I'll await his response if any.

All sounds, to me, like a made up argument to get in the media to promote their new album

Very rock n roll

Primal Scream played Rocks with Weller the other night.

[Kowalski]

The album is much better than I thought it was going to be, I'm fairly impressed.
