Bands you almost heard but could not be bothered

[Ariel Badger]

I was talking bout the old days to some people today. In the late 70s Brum's punk culture was centered on a shop called Bell & Khan that sold bondage gear and a few late night venues like the Hosteria Wine Bar. We used the Hosteria a lot and one night the bouncers told us it was £0.50 to get in as there was a band on, They told us they were rubbish and called Duran Duran. We went for a pint at another bar.
I also walked out of a Pink Floyd gig at Knebworth in 76 but they were rubbish

Same with me on the Duran Duran front, but it was only about 8 years ago.

I nearly didn't go and see Rage Against The Machine once (seen them several times), but I came to my senses in the end.

Was too lazy to go and see Oasis and Jamiroquai at a local club before they were huge. Possible not a bad thing.

My closest call was Dire Straits - I saw a documentary on TV showing them playing live and they looked, well..........dire!!

I couldn't be bothered to go after seeing that, but was persuaded on the basis that I had nothing better to do. They were just superb and to this day it is still one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

I have no idea what year (early 80's?) as it was years ago and they are all blurring into 'the old days' now!

Left the main stage at The Hop Farm Festival because Dob Dylan was shit, ended up going to see one of the best live performances ever! Hyipnotic Brass Ensemble.

Almost heard GNR at Leeds this year but being half an hour late on, I decided to go and get some food. While eating said food I was in such a mood I buggered off back to the tent.

...Anyways, who cares, I also saw Slash at Download.

Bob Dylan has always been crap. He played here a couple of years back & they resorted to giving away the tickets for free because no one would buy them..... for $7 each....

Anywho, when I lived in sunny Brixton the house bands at a couple of the local pubs were Adam Ant & the Thompson Twins.
