what bands WOULD you like to see? any era - dead or alive

this morning's gig emails brought the epic news that W.A.S.P will be playing in Leeds very soon

can't say I'm not tempted.

I blame teen nostalgia of the libidinous kind
 
Haha, WASP! :D

You know Blackie Lawless is your God.

The guy next door to me is twenty-two and for some reason likes WASP as well as all that bleepy stuff with all the beats in it that the kids love. How on earth it happened we'll never know, but it can be the cause of much bizarre mirth.
 
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
Slam
Amon Tobin
Pink Floyd - Performing Dark Side of the Moon or Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Aphex Twin (Seen already, but an avatar just didn't do it justice)
Chemical Brothers (Same as Aphex)

To name but a few.

Yeah I'd kinda go along with that in retrospect ,as does Lydon, the origins of the lyrics are a little unclear but Lydon sang them so that's really not relevant.

But at the time it was all about pushing to the boundaries and beyond, I think in this case it was ill judged, although the instrumental side is still great the lyrics have a lot to be desired looking at it now.
 
I'd love to see Ms Polly Jean <3

Would love to see old-skool Marilyn Manson too, hehe, don't hate me! Caught his Antichrist Superstar tour when I was a little goth kiddy and it was the best thing ever. I made a top out of a pair of fishnet tights.
 
Hehe I do too but I usually get told I have terrible taste when I mention him!
 
Marilyn Manson? Yep, that's terrible taste alright. Though you can be forgiven such youthful transgressions. Just.
 
:p

Antichrist Superstar era Manson was perfection for a teenage girl with a penchant for ripped fishnets and black nailvarnish :D
 
Oh, don't get me wrong - I was all in favour of the teenage girls in ripped fishnets and black nail varnish. Still am, in fact. Though sadly it's no longer reciprocated quite as often as it was in the day.

I always liked the ending(s) tho - think my fave was "Be a man, a big tough man, kill yourself"

I can do without Submission too to be honest.

Amazing how superior the Bollocks sessions were to the earlier demos at Wessex and Denmark studios tho. Chris Thomas really deserves a lot of credit for overdubbing dozens of guitars so it sounds like a wall of sound and coaching Lydon to put more venom into the singing. When you hear the earlier demos when there's just Jones's single guitar it sounds as weak as piss.

Tis true many people don't appreciate the production that went into the4 Bollocks album, drum tracks runnig backwards and that bit of feedback at the end of Anarchy in the UK, a great piece of work.

The version of Belson released my Ronnie Biggs is really the worst, although the original was certainly a misjudged piece of irony.

Submission is an interesting track in that my understanding is that Mclaren demanded a track to promote his and Vivian's clothes shop which was very much into the whole rubberware thing, Lydon hated being told what to do by the twat so wrote the song to take the piss out of Mclaren, so I can forgive it maybe not being the finest track on the album.

Some of the early recordings with Glen Matlock still in the band are interesting to listen to, in fairness it was IMO that tension between Matlock's namby pamby traditional rock and roll style and the others pushing back against it that really made the unique sound of the Pistols. Even down to the horrible rhyming of anarchist and anti christ deliberately placed there to wind Glen up.

I would have loved to have been at one of those early gigs in '76, I'm sure they scared some people half to death given they were used to prog rock and 15 minute guitar :)
