acidbass Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My personal favourite Great band! I am almost positive that if I had have been born in 1949, I would enjoy going to gigs so much more than I do now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway wasn't he always on both buses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I noticed the other day that Paul Weller nicked this middle 8 straight off 'Johnny Thunder'. Still a great track though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with "the music's too loud", "I get backache", "I like to be in bed by 9:30", "My bladder's too weak". They seem to have been so shagged out by the summer of love, they haven't been to a gig since. : Edited July 28, 2009 by spinynorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much in the middle of a mod revival phase which has lasted for the last couple of years now, fantastic music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 this is another great song... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0WPC-N3UYE&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0WPC-N3UYE...feature=related[/url] Some topical social commentary in the lyrics too. Apparently the BBC tried to ban the video because "it was in poor taste". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I had a question in a university law exam a few years ago that started something like this: "[i]Terry meets Julie at Waterloo Station on Friday night...[/i]". [i]You Really Got Me[/i] was probably the first hard rock tune ever. I remember hearing a story about Dave Davies throwing his guitar at the drummer's head one gig, knocking him out, drawing blood from his head, then running off-stage and hiding for three days because he thought he'd killed him. Now [i]that's[/i] rock n' roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
