Have recently acquired two different original vinyl versions of it from a mate (at some cost lol) rather excellent!

Joy Division "Closer" or Fields Of The Nephilim "The Nephilim" both have pretty great first sides (for those who remember two sides on the same disc/tape 🙂 ) but second sides that are just on a different planet

Right at this minute a covers band in a pub in Boldmere, not too bad... singer has a remarkable resemblance to Jenna from Blakes 7...!

If I couldn't have Hooky's spot maybe Barry Adamson with Magazine and the Bad Seeds

Having seen Fields Of The Nephilim several times in their heyday it wasn't dissimilar 🙂

Every Guns 'n Roses song would benefit from losing the last three minutes or so

The line "see the blood flow, watching it shed, up above my head" in Maiden's theme tune always sounded to me like DiAnno was singing "see the butler washing dishes..."

does this count?

Don't know if he still does things like that but Gary Numan turned the odd one out in the early days, I particularly liked this: Asylum - YouTube oh well don't seem able to get the link to work... nice spooky tune anyway

Took me 33 years to discover Quo's "In The Army Now" wasn't actually theirs

Turn On The Bright Lights is probably my favourite record of the 21st century

"Salvation Belongs To Our God" often became "Alsatians Belong..." at our church

Currently living about 500 yards from Mother's in Erdington

Lol as a former soundman for our church band this wasn't unknown on a Sunday morning 😅

Sorry but if PF come on my radio it goes to ClassicFM ... whatever it may be

Just booked my first gig in almost 4 and a half years, When Rivers Meet, Birmingham next month

Very sad...Quo were the first band I really got into, first band I ever saw live, still got more of their stuff than any other band RIP Nuff

Always loved the story about an inebriated Mick Jagger phoning his room in the middle of the night and Charlie getting up, washed and suited up and going to give Jagger a smack in the gob ... RIP Charlie

Being not as familiar with all Zeppelin's catalogue as I perhaps ought to be I have genuinely mistaken Greta van Fleet for them on the radio before now

Must say that on the various occasions I saw AAE (both original and acoustic lineups) if Julianne was feeling nervous it didn't show, wonderful voice and great performer. Felt very happy when she replied to a comment of mine on FB recently 🙂

All About Eve are probably unfortunately best known for that TOTP appearance, while they did come up with the odd similar type of thing they could also rock with the best of them when they put their minds to it, especially on stage

One of the Three Johns wasn't one

Think I have 6 copies of Joy Division's "Closer" lying around, on various formats (original vinyl, vanilla CD release, deluxe/boxset versions and the cassette copy from when Factory went through a phase of reissuing stuff on tape in nice little boxes)

I'm on the bits of Fields Of The Nephilim's "Earth Inferno" from Wolves Civic (and the tracks from there that subsequently turned up on b-sides); and a bootleg from Birmingham a couple of months later which apparently impressed Carl McCoy sufficiently for him to kind-of-endorse it. Also missed being on the same Quo live album as Prince Charles by one day.
