i saw the damned twice......1st time at malvern winter gardens(just up road from me) with the ruts, who were great.........in 1978 and again in 1980 in leeds....liked their early stuff....thought they sold out a bit.. My mate used to copy pearts kit every time he changed it, he cud play me any rush song i chose.He played at the N.E.C. recently when rush played their 30th anniversary gig, they set up a load of rush covers bands in another hall, so i'm told, and the band met them all.

hubby has just bought a red sparkle drumkit the same as Neil Pearts. A drum workshop - not quite as big though and he can't turn round on stage like Peart lol. His rock band were fortunate enough to support 'the damned' last october at the winter gardens, ventnor on the isle of wight. It was mainly the original line-up. Captain sensible had a girls school uniform on. louise

louise.....i used to drum in a band too. Faith no more on their 'real thing' tour when mike patten first joined were great........so much energy.........i was black and blue at he end of that gig......lol mind you i used to go to loads of punk gigs in the late 70's and they were chaos.......great memories tho. And Neil Peart IS god.........i've never seen anyone better..... Nick

nick I think we would get on well. Love faith no more. Hubby loves Neil Peart out of Rush. He plays the drums and he is one of his heroes as well as john bonham of Zeppelin. louise

I saw David Bowie in his Glass Spider Tour and I thought he was pants! If I ever meet him I'll demand my money back. But I have also seen great concerts by Jethro Tull, Joan Armatrading, Paul Young. I was made to accompany my brother-in-law to a Chris De Burgh concert - before Lady in Red was around - and I have to admit that though it wasn't my kind of music, he did put on a good show and worked hard - unlike Mr Bowie, who looked like he was bored and could hardly be bothered to go through the motions. nell

I went with my sister to see David Bowie some years ago at the MK Bowl. Brilliant! Think it was the serious moonlight tour. My favourite place to go these days is a pub just down the road from me. They have live music on every day apart from xmas day. www.springheadpub*co.uk My favourites are The Beach Boys Inc and they're on next month!

oh, and i did go and see bon jovi on the 'new jersey' tour wasn't a fan but took my little sis for her b'day...............i was very impressed. Aerosmith on their 'pump' tour were very good. Iron maiden, brum odeon,great....really good venue and great stage show. Faith no more, wolverhampton, absolute chaos, stage diving all night...fantastic gig... Def lepperd, N.E.C. absolute crap...... Rush....twice.N.E.C.......probably the best musicians i have ever seen.........gobsmacked!! Nick

Metallica........early 90's....Brum N.E.C.......justice for all tour.........fantastic Thin lizzy....1978..Reading rock festival.........didnt go in......just stood outside and listened.....i was only 12........but it sounded amazing...........loved em. Nick

Wasn't it the Smash Hits party when the lead singer of Carter USM rugby tackled Philip Schofield, live on TV? The show was over-running and I think their act was cut short in order to make sure that Take That got the remainder of the air-time, much to Carter's annoyance. I think that was the story anyway. Was funny as when I saw it on TV again just recently.
