What if.......

[Kiran]

In a parallel universe Chris Lowe was in The Smiths and The Pet Shop Boys was a duo of Neil Tennant and Johnny Marr.

Discuss the possible outcome.....

I think Pet Shop Boys would be less famous than now

[bookshopboy]

That means that PSB would have got Chris Lowe in to help them with "Release" and it could have been a lot better....

Discuss the possible outcome.....

They would rope Barney Sumner from Depeche Mode in and start a band called Electronic.

Johhny and Neil Play the Blues....

I think you might need to change your glasses Sjon and read the whole thread.

I just didn't know Bernard is the same name as Barney. There aren't many Barneys in Barcelona, you know?

Ah! Well, rest assured your english is much better than my spanish.

Bernard Sumner used to be known as Barney Albrecht, for some reason.

Bernard Sumner used to be known as Barney Albrecht, for some reason.

Yeah - was it something to do with his mother/father? I'm sure someone will know, I can't remember.

The only other Barney that I've ever known was my friend's dog, so it isn't a popular nickname even in Engand. Oh yeah, and Barney Rubble from the Flintstones.

And Bernard is one of those old names that has fallen out of fashion - you wouldn't meet many Bernards under the age of 50 now. Strangely, though, I've always thought that it suits Mr. Sumner.

[psb-freak]

We wouldn´t be discussing about Neil and Chris....

[Chrispsb]

The best musicians ever named in one thread, great.

[Janet Street-Porter]

Isn't he called Barney after Barney Rubble? He does look like him.
