Doc B Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm going to be seeing some classic 90s rock/metal/funk bass stylings this late summer/autumn - Faith No More in Edinburgh next Tuesday and then Skunk Anansie in Glasgow in November. SA should be good (I saw them first time around) but I really can't wait to see FNM as I never managed to see them in the 1990s (or the late 80s for that matter)due to being a cash-strapped student at the time. Shame Big Sick Ugly Jim Martin won't be there but Billy Gould will and he's a real bass hero to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I didn't realise FNM were doing more UK dates - apart from Leeds and Reading of course. I saw them at Brixton Academy in June - suffice to say it was amazing. You're in for a real treat there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went & saw FNM at the Barrowlands years ago & Mike Patton Had a chugg on stage. Not a nice sight. L7 was the support & the Bassist liked flashing her toosh about. A nice sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 They played in Birkenhead at "Stairways" in 1988, my wife saw them, however, apperently 5,000 people saw them that night in a 400 capacity club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William James Easton Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 somebody show me a band that aren't doing a reunion and i'll show you a band that still has some integrity. Les McQuuesn? Crème Brulee? "it's a sh*t business." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be good. £45 isn't too bad a mark up considering how close it is to the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, when I saw them in June, I thought they were significantly better live than when I saw them in 1997 on their last tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
