Independent (Ireland) interview

[Pet Shop Girl]

Its best to ignore Lena and move back on topic here.

Btw, doesn't the OS say that Moscow (maybe) should be on Dec 2nd? Do you people ever go there before ranting on here?

Yes, yesterday in the evening they have hung up this strange information on their site. They tease us, don't they? This is disrespect to us, fans, to hang up not confirmed information. Thank you, PSB, for November, 7th!!!!
Living on their small island, they do not realize how big is Russia, and that the real fans gathered for that concert from all our immense country. Some guys, wishing to get on the concert, have been compelled to take holiday for some days to arrive to Moscow, to solve the problem with habitation. Moreover, they have already taken tickets for transport which for some reasons are not a subject to return. What have they to do now?! Thank God, that Bryan Ferry comes during the same time there. But he will not replace PSB. And now, posting this not clear date, they scoff at us again! Many of us haven't already got the desire to go somewhere in general. If the December concert will take place, it will be attended mostly by occasional people, not fans.
holmes_spb, do you agree with it?

I agree.

I can't say "thank you, boys for 07 November", - it sounds really strong.

I understand the reasons of the cancellation but can't understand the official information about it and I'm not really sure about 02 December to be honest.
As I said one time, Neil is a dreamer, Chris is as well.
the line between dream and lie is so slimsy.


By the way, Pet Shop Girl, I think it would be better - ignore nobody.Nobody deserves this.
At last the conversations here became interesting and you want to destroy them.
Unbelievable!

[Pet Shop Girl]

OH yeah real interesting indeed!

[holmes_spb]

Move on?

[Pet Shop Girl]

Move on?

YES please move on now. Lets go back to the main topic at hand on this thread.

[FantasticVoyage]

Don't do a drama of all this, bad things happen all the time. And believe me, one concert cancelation isn't the worst that could happen to you.

Exactly.

This reminds me: three years ago I attended a Bowie gig here in Prague. It was my first (and most likely the last one). That night he practically got a heart-attack onstage which he didn't know at that time but he was operated a few days later. He performed half of the show and then had to end it. That was a horrible feeling for me!
I would have been happier had he had cancelled it even and hour before the start than experience this, I tell you. Even if it meant I would NEVER see him live.

If I were PSB, I probably wouldn't get back to Russia for several years because I am just over-sensitive when it come to bad things like death. Even if I lost a lot of money and piss off some fans. I would understand their problems caused by cancelling the show but I would also expect them to understand MY feelings about something like death of my close friend.

I really can't get that some people can be so heartless and only think about their problems, their money and their time.

It was an accident, they had to change their plans and so some people have to change their plans as well because of that. The fact that they do try to reschedule the gig only shows how much they love Russia. - As I say, if I were Chris, I would cancell the show without much doubt. It would be just too much for me.

And as a fan - I would understand, it's just a show after all. Nothing less nothing more.
If I were from the other corner of the country I'd make the trip to Moscow anyway - it's a beautiful city...right?

(What makes me really sad is the fact that there seem to be people who would complain about cancelling a show even if the reason were death of one of the Boys... )

...And it all started by posting an Irish interview with Neil...
@Pet Shop Girl, holmes_psb: I really can't think af anything more to say about the interview, though.

[holmes_spb]

They cancelled not because of Dainton.
You mentioned different problem.

By the way, how many shows did they cancel after his death excluding Moscow?


Moscow is a beautiful city but very expensive. It's hard to trip there twise
If you don't believe - come.
When I come to Moscow I will go to that place where Dainton died as he was beautiful guy.
I repeated so many times- Dainton is not the main reason of the cancellation.
Under such circamstances and sadness of the place (Moscow as a place of friend's death) it could be more understandable if they would change the date for next year, for example. But for many years- it's a noncense. According with this thought they shouldn't arrange the shows in London, for example, because they lost many good friends there.

Dainton had a good time in Moscow, they celebrated Chris birthday and I'm really sorry that Chris will remember his date of Birth with Dainton death.
But I believe, that the world where Dainton is now is much better than this.
I'm sure.

[Pet Shop Girl]

Holmes_spb, seeing more of you here than on Lydia's forum now.

Anyway, you are right, Dainton is in a better place now. For whatever the reasons are for postponing the russian gig, just you know they will keep performing there in the future I would think. They postponed the Romanian gig for 25 November because of the funeral. The gig on the 1st in UK is still ahead and the gig in Ireland and Spain this week, unless they say otherwise. We just have to wait and see, now everyone is talking if they should cancel all those gigs too.

[Syncratic]

I have to say that post of hers is one of the most shameful things I've read on here

Agreed. I was so disgusted I had to leave my computer.

I was so disgusted that before I left my computer I had to post how disgusted I was on this forum just in case people don't get how easily disgusted I am.

Move along Dave Gahan girl...Lena's giving me the horn

I love Lydia's place as well,
I had to protect my friends here. The affair of honour and my own opinion.
I love everybody,
I am an angel

Yeah, we'll see and wait.
All is for the best in the best of possible worlds

[Pet Shop Girl]

Protect your friend here? I had no idea that Lena was a good old friend of yours.

ANyway, lets get back on the topic at hand.

Well, the cancelation king is Morrissey. He is well known for being impredictable. I remember in 2004, the same year that PSB and Kraftwerk performed one after the other at the FIB festival, he canceled his performance 45 minutes before taking the stage...

[Pet Shop Girl]

Well Fantastic Voyage, then maybe there should not be anymore posts here if we have nothing else to say about the interview. To le petit corbusier's comment. Yes Morrissey is the cancellation king, the rest of these PSB shows are going forward for this week.

[holmes_spb]

All Russians are my friends excluding some of them.

Get back, I will not prohibit

[fabpet]

Thanks!... I'd love to read Neal's Culture Club review
