Actually you may have a point. Though I have never to this day been so singularly transfixed by an album as I was by Dark Side, I think we may have all been a little carried away. I was only fourteen though.

Its a fair point, whilst also being rather unfair on the band. I mean, its your job to be great and hardly your fault if ****s go overboard about it.

One could level a very similar accusation at U2. In fact, I just did.

[Peter]

Queen.

****ers.

Queen are a bit ****e but they had Freddie.

[Sir C]

****ers.

The problem with Queen isn't that they're overrated, it's that they produced a catalogue of pure, unmitigated, hideous, steaming liquid shíte and were fronted by a filthy predatory pederast who delighted in fúcking underage boys, yet is worshipped as some sort of god.

I find it all very confusing.

The movie has a different soundtrack to the original Who record.

Still, 5:15 and Love Reign ....

To misquote the Pogues, 'for being Irish in the right place and at the right time'.....

I think U2 are ok, at times pretty good. I genuinely dont get the adoration at all. Same with the Foo Fighters- they sound like a house band in your local boozer.

Stephen Maturin was very forgiving of pederasty as I recall.

[Peter]

Oh certainly. But it's no reflection on a band to call them overrated. Overrating is the mistake made by others about the band, not the band's mistake.

I agree. Of course, a lot of the criticism Zeppelin get stems from their army of pompous, tosspot fans who like to tell people that virtually no other music matters BECAUSE of Zeppelin.

This does lead some people to suggest that Zeppelin were ****e when in fact they were not. I even had a chap tell me that Jimmy Page couldn't play the guitar. I mean, come on......

[Burney]

I'm afraid I will have to not take your word for it, p. I'm too old to go around listening to double albums by ponderous, bloated rock dinosaurs - or anyone else for that matter.

[Peter]

Would it help if I told you there was a song about rape?

I wasn't expecting to like it (and I dont much care for The Who) but it is really very good....

[Sir C]

Stephen Maturin was very forgiving of pederasty as I recall.

I think Stephen had a certain sympathy for chaps who engaged in unnatural acts with other chaps; quite how he'd feel about Freddie preying on the desperate children who used to roller skate up and down the streets around his house wearing satin hotpants, I'm not so sure.

Yes, I witnessed these roller skaters. No, I did not skate. I didn't have the bum for it.

I'd say that if you roller skate up and down outside Freddie Mercury's house wearing satin hotpants you are pretty much asking to be preyed upon, tbf.

As a teenage Mod I was of course slightly obsessed with it and would not like to hazard a guess how many times we watched it.

The soundtrack is of course a fine album but should not be confused with the actual album.

I bought an excellent CD just a few weeks ago, Jazz on the Corner, a double compilation CD of tunes spanning genres. I would recommend it but I suspect you are too blinkered and narrow minded.

How young would you say?

Hmm, well it was 30-odd years ago, it was dark and I was disposed to hate La Mercury anyway, so my recollection would be, maybe 7 tops.

Well that wouldn't be pederasty, that would be nonceing. There is a subtle, but important difference.

Why were 7 year-olds wearing satin hotpants?

Look mate, shovelling your engorged glans into the back passage of a child is wrong, whichever fancy name you want to give the activity.

Obviously they weren't actually 6 or 7, I made that bit up because that wánker was a wánker, but they were young. Too young. Certainly under 25.

[Sir C]

I have no wish to belittle you musically Pedro as we both sail different ships here.

It was merely a recommendation to try and brighten up your otherwise grey weekend. It is very rare I buy actual CDs as quite often they are free, so on the occasions I do I like to celebrate them.

I do remember. This one includes the stealing of virginity, rape (not necessarily in the same instance), drugs, violence, drink and addresses the central theme of split personalities.

In short, a very well written song :)

Probably the biggest disappointment I've ever seen in a live band. Loved them since the 1980's - saw them for the first time a couple of years back - they were utter shíte :-(

Yes - that's exactly it. Seemed to be more interested in free-form jazz than anything resembling decent music. I was very disappoint. Thank god for The Stranglers who were the support and were fantastic.

[Peter]

I think the beauty of Mike Scott is that he has always been thoroughly up his own arse. His ability to prioritise that over commercial success is one of the things that I have always admired about him.

One of the issues with seeing them live is you have to work out which version of the band you are seeing. It changes all the time. No point in rolling up wanting to hear Fishermans Blues and Room to Roam if he is touring without the fiddle man.

If he'd even done stuff from his self-indulgent WB Yeats album I would have been slightly appeased but it was all böllocks. To cap it off they were due to finish with The Whole of the Moon but the organisers pulled the plug - beach gig...****s.

Yes, this is why I'm not interested in live music. If I pay for a product, as a consumer I want that product, not what some cvnt of a jumped-up busker thinks I should get because some cvnt told him he was an artist and he swallowed it.

If I go to a concert and you decide to play my favourite song in half-time or as a fvcking calypso, I'm not going to be happy and I'm definitely not coming back.

If I go to the butcher to buy some chops and he insists on selling them to me pre-minted, I'm not going to say 'It's his gig', am I? I'm going to tell him to fvck off and buy my chops elsewhere.

Because the alternative is what you have previously described as 'corrupt art'. You dont just play the songs people want to hear anymore than you record the songs that the biggest number of people will want to buy.

Of course, you should still play the songs people want to hear, to some extent, particularly when those songs are clearly your best ****ing songs, whether the most popular or successful. Springsteen cant just play the ones you want to hear because he plays a different set each night. If he didnt, well.... it would get a bit boring and going to see him would be the same as going to see every other artist instead of being a genuinely remarkable, unforgettable experience that you become determined to repeat.

That said, if I went to see James and they didnt do Come Home I would ****ing kick off....

He is not the Boss of me, sw. Not by a long chalk.

Of course, the worst man for this is Dylan. I simply cannot understand why anyone who loves any of Dylan's songs would go to see him live given that he invariably renders them unrecognisable.

I went along to see Neil Young a few years back and there was nearly an uprising as he didn't play Harvest or whatever specific album people wanted to hear, despite the gig being very clearly labelled as being him and Crazy Horse.

There was letters to the Irish Times and all I think.

[Burney]

Fair point. I love Dylan but have never been terribly interested in seeing him live. My regret is never seeing Leonard Cohen live.

For me, it seems pretty obvious that Dylan has simply been taking the p1ss out of his live audiences for decades now. The fact that they keep coming back for more must be a constant source of amusement to the miserable old cvnt.

Where is the fun in that? You can look up the set lists of the tour for most bands as they play the same songs in the same order every night. Wont help you much with a Springsteen show though, aside from working out a trend. THe beauty of the show is wondering whether he will play anything good in the 3 anda half hours he is on stage. If he does, you feel incredibly lucky, like you just witnessed something special.

Yasss. Totally effing boring as sh!t, fake american, mall rat of a musician.

I was surprised to learn the other day that they barely had any "hits." Stairway to Heaven and that's about it. That said, I'll firebomb your mosque if you criticize led zeppelin, you infidel dog.

:-D

Refusing to release singles made having 'hits' rather difficult.

I looked at the set list. To be fair, it does look a bit **** :hehe::hehe:

I dont really understand what you mean....

I mean, obviously, that if a band chooses not to put out singles, this may be because they don't think singles serve to enhance their brand. I'm not really sure of Zeppelin's singles-releasing practices, so I'm not going to pursue. But if their singles didn't sell, or if they didn't have singles, it may be because they did not anticipate they would sell well.

Whatever the case may be, Zeppelin kicks a$$ and I will permit no belittling of their role in the history of rock and roll.

They didn't release singles because they didn't want to- they thought the albums should be listened to as a whole. they were rare in that they had a contract that allowed them to make that decision.

Its fair to say that some of the songs would have sold well as singles.
