Joy Division's "Closer"

Have never seen the appeal of Guns 'n Roses

The only remotely famous person I've ever appeared in a photo with is Mike Visceglia of Suzanne Vega's band, when a number of people spotted him in the car park after a gig at the NEC about 30 years ago. Very friendly guy, happily put a personalized autograph on a spare programme I'd bought for a friend. (I'd also met Ms Vega herself earlier on the tour, waited in the queue for ages and then totally lost my tongue when I reached the front, she must have thought I was a right spanner!)

All About Eve doing Cliff's "Devil Woman" as a straight down the line rocker

I'm using an Android tablet, Full Version box is greyed out at the bottom of the screen...I hit it anyway and it seemed to work☺

"Celebrate" is one of the songs that made me want to get a bass...saw the original Nephilim 4 times back in the day, awesome on stage

Possibly stretching it to call it a hit but I'm sure it did chart... "Is This The Life" by the Cardiacs has the most demented piece of guitar I've ever heard

We work with a few Chinese lawyers who've adopted western first names... one is Unique, haven't worked out whether the one calling themselves Fairy is male or female...

Donington 1982 - my one and only...six bands, a tenner for the ticket and £4.50 for Midlad Red coach virtually to myself there and back...those were the days As I recall: Anvil, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, Saxon, Gillan, the Quo... best memory Janick Gers climbing up the speaker stacks without a safety harness lol

Cheers guys...might learn how to spell Tear while I'm at it :-) guitarist mate hss suggested a jam, might just take him up on it

Hi another mid-life-crisis case here lol...having promised myself for years I'd get myself one some day I finally did it a few weeks back aged 51 having never picked a guitar up in my life before... 35 years of listening to Peter Hook basically!Have no ambition to ever be up on a stage, just want to bang the odd CD on or YouTube clip and play along for fun. Can sort of do "Love Will Rear Us Apart" so far... Equipment: £120 outfit from Amazon lol

I live round the corner from the Acorn/Church Tavern...new paint job, new chairs, new name...same old people. The one local place I won't set foot in

Unless anything pops up in between, Hooky & The Light in December

The original Sisters Of Mercy anybody?
