[kj] (OT) Speaking of Banshees...

[Brendan Quinn]

Yeah I'd be going to see them full stop, don't get the kinda gigs you guys
do, they are still up on my list of great bands to see. Envy the fuck outta
people like Alex who saw them plus Soundgarden plus Voivod. They'd have been
bloody good back then too.

I wonder if he's using support these days?

Nah mate, I won't be going to download (fucking rip-off corporate corpse of
the once great Donnington) but I'm going to be pissed as hell about not
seeing FNM :(

I was the first to say, KJ sans Jaz, no way. I'll be the first to agree,
OTG IS shit. They have all but acknowledged that, and bearing in mind the
fact that it was never intended by the band to be a fully fledged KJ
album, I ignore it and don't let it stain their rep at all.

Ade you going to download festival? Just saw the line up...sheesh. Some
great stuff there. FNM would be up your alley innit? You can go and check
out Chris Cornell's saggy tits too.
