[kj] OT Pistols

[Karen Weil]

Alex in NYC: 


Oh, the Cars ... that group was my absolute fave during my angst-ridden middle and high school years! 
I think they deserve so much more credit than what they've gotten over the years. They introduced little fools like me to so many cool styles of music.
And "Candy-O" was the first album I ever bought with my own money! And still my favorite! : )

  I like both the Police and the Cars as well. And Squeeze and Split Enz and Elvis Costello etc. etc.

    I quite like The Police, though I also quite like early Cars, so you can't trust my tastes ;)

      I never thought the Police were that bad. Not great but OK. One of the better better LPs I had to listen to endlessly at the kids home. And Stewart Copeland's music for The Equalizer was inspired.

        Dear Melinda:

        Oh, how I wish I could! Love Britain, its people, culture and music! (My hubby and I were in Europe last month, so are vacation time and money are zero right now.)
        Really admire you for coming over the pond for music. You are a true fan.
        If I come into a pile of cash in the near future, I will travel to the U.K. for a gig!
        Appreciate your opinions on music -- even if we don't like the same things. (That is a good song by the Police, BTW.)
        But we both love KJ!
        Have a great day.

        Cheers,

        k.w.

            Melinda:

            Can't agree with you on the Police; they did have some great songs. But envy you on seeing the Pistols (I missed out on their '96 reunion tour here in the States).
            Anyway, cheers to you.

              the police suck--all of them :/
               
              sorry dave i never get bord of seeing the pistols,as you said there still a really tight band,only saw them at brix acadamy twice/nov 07,and im ready for more of that brand of entertainment lol  its a bit like the old one,theres only one led zep and there is only one sex pistols--all the imitators sound crap,so might as well see the real thing when you get the chance,even if its for the umteenth time,its still a classic night out ;)

                Apparently Lydon described his co-headliners at the Isle of Wight, The Police, as bumholes.

                Top Fucking Class. But yeah, fair comment.

                  I saw the Pistols at the Palace, foolishly thinking that as I was too young to see the first gig that I had a least seen the last...how wrong could it be! I subsequently saw them at Manchester MEN arena last year and vowed that was the last time I would watch a punk band in a big venue. If you haven't seen them then pay the dollar and go as they are still a tight band and Lydon is eminently watchable – but I get that horrible feeling at these gigs that I am at a Punk Pantomime and being fleeced for the privilege.
