Have you got one eye? My mate crashed his car two days before the gig, so had to jump in a van sponsered by the local radio station up from Tauranga. A guy in the van had one eye.
Oh and how good were Pumpkinhead as an opening act. Unreal.

Faith no more live at Brixton was a favourite of mine for a long time. I saw them live at the old town hall and they were really good I thought.
The keyboard player had a brief relationship with Courtney Love which apparently turned him into a homosexual.
FNM are a strange one, as the more you follow them, the more you realise that Bottum & Gould are the soul of the band. Not often you'd say the keyboardist and bass are the soul of a rock band.
Gould is probably the most underrated bassist in history. Some really good lines and chops.
Dunno about that. You'll struggle to find a rock bassist out there who says they weren't influenced by Gould. Certainly doesn't get the coverage of others (Entwhistle, Flea etc) but he's pretty highly regarded.

Yeah fair call but still underrated. Not even mentioned in the ( admittedly ridiculous ) rock supergroup thing that the Rock had going but then again Gene Simmons beat Flea in the round robin....
I still reckon he's constantly overlooked compared to others.

<p>You're talking about Dylan, but i don't get it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And i like Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey Buckingham was fucking good guitar player, and those bitches could sing. They also created some of the best rock and roll stories of the 70s, dysfunction and drugs for the win</p>

<p>always hated Dylan, that nasal delivery and keening fucking shrill mouth organ, just didnt get it. Then, like a zillion other old gits, i hit 40 and the clouds parted. Have about 15 of his lp's now and 3 cd's (Love and Theft, Modern Times and the other newish one, old timey shit that absolutely grows on you like a motherfucker)</p>
<p>
Saw "Tusk" LP recenlty, there in the record shop for the umpteenth time, only 2 bucks, fuck it, that Lindsey Buckingham lp did me right I'll have a burl.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I actually LIKE Fleetwood Mac now.<br><br>
That's the last of my punk rock points redacted.</p>
<p>
Tusk is pretty fuckin interesting. Not the pop gloss super yacht 70's FM radio flashback fuckcopia of Rumours but more like 3 solo lp's biffed into one 2xLP. It's easy even for this clueless doom metal drongo to pick whose songs are Mcvie's/Nicks/Buckingham's.<br><br>
It's kind of a sprawling mess. Starts off with what I reckon was financial suicide; a sooky as hell Mcvie ballad. Back in 1979, with people expecting pop candy Runours II it mustve resulted in half the audienece not even bothering with the rest of the 7 hour 2xLP. All side 3 is a sookfest too. But those Lindsey Buckingham numbers.... just can't help but like em</p>I'm listening to the demo versions of Tusk's songs tonight, and the vocals are really raw and direct. Great stuff. Storms is killer so far.
Helpfully they're collected on one disc (#2) of the 5 CD Tusk box set.

@tim Gene Clark. Now there was a troubled man. When I first heard the No Other album I thought what the fuck is this? In context though, he was a man in a downward spiral who was struggling with alcoholism, mescaline, coke and his Christianity and his songs reflected that. And the production is outstanding.

@crucial this was my first real concert and just remember it went off, may be was over a bit too soon. . I'm pretty sure it was also a Monday night and the place was packed. I saw a young U2 at the same venue a couple of years later and always remember thinking the Clash was way better for audience energy etc

Yeah, that U2 tour was a bit weird. Just after Live at Red Rocks IIRC and still not the huge name they would become after that. Also saw them at same venue as Clash and The Clash was by far the better.
My only regret with that U2 tour was that after the gig we were going to head to Entertainers (the only late night/after hours/Sunday licenced place in AK back then) but we had others staying with us that weren't keen as they had to drive back to the Waikato the next morning for work. Found out later that there were only a handful of punters at Entertainers that night and U2 turned up with everyone ending up having a good chat and a few acoustic tunes. -
Fantastic underground indie psychedelic 45 from Winnipeg, 1967. I prefer the b-side, but both sides are great. Nugget.
Whatever became of these guys? A year following this they were hired, under a different name, to record an LP record about Snoopy’s Christnas and that was pretty much that.

That’s cool, are they on their own or are there some other bands playing too?
