Re: EBTG / Fuse

when i heard the announcement that EBTG was going to release another album, i hoped(but already assumed it wouldn't) that it would be more of a guitar oriented album. after Amplified Heart, they went more into a electronic phase. nothing against electronics, but i always fancied more guitar while li...

Re: Met Neil and Chris last night

Wow, very jealous! I'd love to meet them but think I'd be too nervous. What was your opening line to Neil then? I went with 'Hi Neil. How's it going? i thought Hidden Cameras were very good.. ' And he took it from there was Chris wearing a hat and/or sunglasses? if not, and he wasn't with Neil, do ...

Re: PET SHOP BOYS: Chris Lowe forgets the chords lol (Edinburgh 31/12/2022)

It proves that Chris is actually playing the keyboards and not pretending to which has always been a stupid rumor. it wasn't entirely a rumor. up until the Release Tour, he wasn't playing live. he's always had a problem with remembering his parts no matter how many times he's played them. hence why...

Despite being a big Marc Almond fan, I don't always check his Instagram!
don't blame you. the format for Instagram is horrible. i don't know why it's so popular.

Re: New Pet Shop Order Boys

Lol@ them needing to print out a setlist that never changes. makes sense with those of us who have a horrible short term memory. sometimes in instances where you're playing live, you can easily get distracted as well. it's nice to have a quick glance down to see what's next. the same could be said ...

Re: New Pet Shop Order Boys

Did anybody buy the Gold experience - and what were the benefits, apart from getting a great seat? FYI- to anyone thinking of buying tickets to any of the shows, shop around for the best prices! One site had front Center stage selling for $40,000!!!! Meanwhile elsewhere seats in the same location w...

Re: US TOUR

It’s like a dream come true. The only way it could have been even better for me if Depeche Mode were also on the bill. (Although, with a few song exceptions I don’t like DM post SOFAD album). Those 3 bands together… That would have been too much of a good thing I guess. this is how i felt when i sa...

Re: Stephen Hague Podcast

Anyone else listened to episode 3? Vince Clarke comes out of it very badly, sounds like a total brat. just hearing him talk about Vince, makes me like Vince even more though. i did like how the person conducting the interview asked Stephen to compare working with Erasure to the PSB's, and Stephen d...
