Not one for the casuals. In terms of songs it goes: 1. Dancing in the Dark 2. Born to Run 3. Born in the USA Everything else he's made. And he didn't even play Born in the USA. I was there for Bruce in 2009 and same thing for me too. He lost me after 35 minutes and I appreciate him as an artist/band. Most people around me got bored tbh. Trekked over to Franz Ferdinand and glad as it was a blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSees are the best live band in the world and the drummers are fucking incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - agreed. She's fine, good on her and all that but it largely leaves me cold. Went with the group to see her in the JPT and there's no doubt she totally smashed it - folk around me bawling their eyes out - but I still wasn't really drawn in.

Humbug yes, tranquility no. It would have been received better if it was an Alex Turner solo album though. I believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip997 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 The Sex Pistols were nothing more than an average pub rock band. Their sucess was down to superb marketing by Malcolm McLaren. The Great Rock n Roll Swindle was superbly named because it was exactly that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
