Indeed. I think another great idea for a new rule would be: Thou shalt not play with yourself Immediately following up/replying to one's own post with another often makes my Stranglers tune look ridiculous because it follows the song two posts before and not the one you instantaneously posted is unfair ?

Please do not rely on mere 'facts' to conveniently support your argument.

Tenuous. If not elevenuous.

Never heard of them.

No Honaloochie? Come on

It still worked!

My first gig, 1978 age 16.

The rugby club's safe, but both the County Cricket ground and the racecourse do get flooded regularly.

I was there ☺️ Slade were brought in to replace Ozzy's Blizzard Of Oz, and apparently were quite hesitant about doing so. You are correct about their prowess as a live band - and Noddy had us eating out of his hand before long. He jokingly said it wasn't a 'request show' as so many people were shouting for them to play Merry Xmas Everybody, and followed that up, in his thick Brummie accent with, "Go on then - you lot f***** sing it!". And we did! (they even kept the crowd sing-a-long on the Slade Alive IV/Live at Reading 80 album). Great line-up that year for us (New Wave Of British) Heavy Metal fans. Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, UFO and a load of others, plus established rockers like Rory Gallagher, Ian Gillan, Gary Moore and (the simply wonderful) Whitesnake. And incidentally, I was a big Slade fan as a kid - Gudbuy 'T Jane was the first record I ever bought ?

Couldn't agree more ? Saw them about 15 years ago in the local rugby stadium and they were fantastic. However, we also saw them on one of the recent 'Frantic Four' tours and they were absolutely amazing. The four of them were just so tight as a band (even after 30-ish years apart), and they played all the old stuff - nothing on the set list came from any album later than Blue For You.

Cheers mucker ☺️
