I did not like there music at all the first time.. Now I did like alot of the Indie scene (not sure what they call it now) in the early 90's, but can't believe they have sold out within minutes :o
I wonder if Happy Mondays, The Farm, The Charlatons etc will be returning???
-
Bloody love them and was lucky enough to see them at Spike Island in 1990, heady days of loose love and even looser flares! Surprised I came through the escapades of that period relatively unscathed ;D showed my 8 yr old daughter some roses videos earlier and she looked at me like I was an alien. ;D
Absolutely gutted as the ticket buying systems were a joke so no show for me so far, unless anyone comes across a spare one????
-
Mate of mine got a ticket, its a bit unreal really how quickly they've gone but I guess they were as big a band as any at the time. Never really thought they -or the Mondays etc-were THAT good myself though liked a fair bit of the stuff from that time. Guess I was just a tad too old for that whole baggy/weekender scene :-[ ;D. Just hope that they arent a disapointment as so many bands are when they reform so much later on. The musicianship may not deteriorate but the vocals and energy tend to :(

Brown. Legend!

With you on that one. Thought it was utter bilge the first time round, but that has been redefined by most of the stuff that gets released these days, and I find myself listening to it now. ;D Must be getting soft in my old age... (reaches for the AC/DC). ;D
-
Lol, I think being a student in the early 90's and being quite 'green fingered' resulted in me liking it first time round!
-
Hmm.Not sure where I went wrong, then. ;)

I seem to recall nights of men behaving badly, trays of trent bitter from coop, home grown special finished off with watching trainspotting

You had it right the first time Kevin. ;) ::).......utter shite. :y

DAZ, you got me humming this stuff all over the house ;D

I could never quite get past the fact that Ian Brown looks & acts like a prize bell end.. otherwise I might have quite liked their stuff.

Yeah, a competition Liam Gallagher felt he must win. Musicians...? :-\

;D Good point - back when they were all 'new' I remember preferring Oasis to Blur.. the more antics Liam got up to, the more I preferred Blur.
Mind, I'm sure that's just because Damon Albarn's antics passed me by ;D
But back then I'd much rather have listened to Nirvana over all of them..
-
Aaeye. Teen spirit, song2. Cracking :)
-
Definitely :y
And just to be different, around the same time you could mostly find me listening to REM, The B52s, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.. ;D
Still one of my favourites (along with Love Shack, of course): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55oc7mjJDtQ

Ah, mmm, yes ??? excuse me a moment, there's someone over there I must speak to... :)

Ahh, well my mates James and Trev got it right. Pick a degree that keeps you busy for all of about 5 hours a week (sociology, IIRC). Spend your first grant cheque on Hi-Fi separates and Pink Floyd vinyl. I learnt very quickly not to turn up at their house by any mechanised form of transport. Even an innocent cup of tea couldn't be trusted, and the gravy that came with their Sunday lunch had to be experienced to be believed.
I still recall a nervous visit from their landlord (a mate of mine's father) where he commented that the garden looked nice but that he didn't remember all those poppies last year, and desperately hoping he wouldn't notice what was going on in the greenhouse. ;D
Funnily enough, I think they dropped out of uni and became landscape gardeners in the end. ;D
-
I must confess to always liking them (and to this day be in possession of the 12inch vinyl of fools gold - not that i have anything to play it on now!)

Nirvana, AC DC etc really was a noise for me at that time... If it was not Dance/House some Indie it really was not for me.... i do however now love ACDC's Thunderstruck and could listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit I suppose.
Our eldest keeps listening to the biggest pile of crap I have ever heard Slipknot and such like.... Not even sure that should even be classed as Music.
-
Not all indie was good but i loved it because knocked all that daft electro acid raving into a cocked hat & brought back REAL bands who actually played.
That's where proper music will always live, from skiffle to rock'n roll, rock, punk, new wave etc.

I quite like Slipknot, too.
I'm just all round strange, me.
