Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

That's so cool :thumbup:

Nothing spooky. Things happen for a reason.

The AC DC collection interests me, some of their stuff was at the top end of "heavy metal", in particular the legendary Back in Black album, which I remember buying for £4.99 in Vinyl when I was in my early teens. "You shook me all night long" is a classic.

Apart from the metallica collection AC/DC my favourites. He must have gone to see them loads of times judging by the gig tickets. Some of the prices on the gig tickets were a whole £4.00.

My g/friend loves heavy metal and i have some ACDC and Metalica on my i pod now.

Im just about to clean some windows thought id let u know!

Hey hey, just so as you know... some of the recent updates to the forum were developed to a sound-track including "Black Ice"... I'd better track down a "headbanger" smiley... 8)

That's a great way to remember, Rose; I may even have been at some of those gigs myself... good times.

mfc,
That's a bit of a coincidence, I've just spent about an hour cleaning the glue off our 3 new velux windows, with some extra powerful glass cleaning solvent plus the special metal scraper designed for cleaning glass cooker tops.

Velux have a horrible habit of glueing the A4 sized guarantee to the underneath of the windows with 6 blobs of impossibly well stuck on glue. If you look when you're driving around you often see the glue blobs still stuck on people's veluxes.

Daft Punk drive me crazy :shock:

"I'm digging your scene"
One of the worst pop songs ever written, at a time of really bad songs being written. The Blow Monkeys really were utter bilge, along with a lot of what happened post mid 80's musically.

Daft Punk. Hmmmmm. I have no idea what they actually try to achieve with their music, but you cant help but like a lot of it.

Are you a conserative ?, I ask because most of Dr Roberts songs written with the blow Monkeys were Anti Thatcher tunes :wink:

A lot of what was written in the 80's was anti Thatcher to be fair!

And for the record, I dont label myself with any political slant at all. Both sides have proven they can **** the country up good and proper. I do however desperately want to see a new party take over from the idiots in power at present. I cannot stand the sight of Gordon Brown.

Anyway, Blow Monkeys....tripe.

Alphaville - now thats class 80's music )
