"The pop star who goes to the toilet twice a day"
At Archbishop William Temple Primary School in 1969 - That was considered to be a fantastic joke.

*wants to see you stripped*
As an aside, I know a lass who's such a fan of Depeche Mode that she changed her surname to Gahan...

(PsychoChomp, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:46, Reply)

What do you call a pop star who's mates keep pissing off?
Dave Gahan...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:56, Reply)

I've heard 2 versions of Stripped, both are shit

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:49, Reply)

You're veering very close to a smack, boy...

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:50, Reply)

Don't get me wrong
I don't despise Depeche Mode, I think Personal Jesus is a good track, it's just lacking any bite to it, if you get my meaning?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:52, Reply)

Check John the Revelator
Probably my favourite DM track, has plenty of bite to it.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:53, Reply)

It is excellent.
Songs of Faith and Devotion is probably my favourite album though.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:55, Reply)

Shall do
I know it's a fucking awful track, but the best example I can give of this problem is a track from a few years back - Jamelia - Beware Of The Dog. It used the tune of 'Personal Jesus', but gave it some bass, and a bit of agression.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:00, Reply)

It kicks arse live.
As do the Mode themselves. Very entertaining; haven't seen them for years though; not since they decided to only play London and call it a UK tour, the gits.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:59, Reply)

I never 'Got' DM at the time...

I appreciate them a bit more now. I think that a few more years down the line I'll hear them again and think, 'fuck, they were good!'

I'm like that with bands quite a lot...btw: who are these 'Beatles' chaps I've heard about?
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:10, Reply)

DM are shit. The Beatles are also shit.
Hope this helps.

Who'd have thought, eh?

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:39, Reply)

He's right about the Beatles though.
Most overrated band ever.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:41, Reply)

I'd argue John Lennon as a solo artist is far worse for this
As are Nirvana

Thanks for this service...

To whom would you recommend I listen to?

*fears worst*
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:21, Reply)

Hendrix
Dick Dale
and several others I've forgotten

^Monty's recommendations

I'm currently really enjoying Mumford and Sons.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:26, Reply)

I'll bet you are.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:42, Reply)

What's your 'cup of tea'?
My latest find is a 70s obscurity called Leaf Hound and their sole LP 'Growers of Mushroom'. It's a kind of Free/Zeppelin/Purple kind of heavy rock record, with lovely vocals* and some decent guitar/organ workouts.

*I think the chap was also in Cactus, but this may be wrong.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:26, Reply)

OK then...

Before I say, please remember I am a crusty old scrote...But I rather like the musical stylings of the following beat combos:

Not in any particular order:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Manics, Ben Folds 5 (and his solo stuff), The Who, The Jam, Metallica (older stuff). Oh lorks, there's loads.
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:34, Reply)

Monty may well explode at those
But I agree with you on a few of them. Metallica especially.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:38, Reply)

There's a new, remastered and expanded (by about four times)
'Live at Leeds' on the market, as a Who man you need this in your life.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:41, Reply)

I remember one version of this coming out about 10 years ago...

A mate bought it and brought it round my house. It was incredible - like raw energy in plastic form.

But I'm an immense tightwad so never bought a copy for myself.

I will investigate a purchase forthwith.
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:47, Reply)

They do keep re-releasing it
but this latest one is worth having.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:53, Reply)

Of course it's not really my place to speak for anyone else...
But I'm fairly sure that Monty would recommend the lyrical wit and earthy humour of Ian Dury.

For some reason this has just reminded me
The other day in the pub, Nick Cave started playing on the jukebox. Sweet Jesus tittfucking Christ that guy is shit.

Just about any fucker you haven't heard of, basically.

It's not a bad cover.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:51, Reply)

Aye, that's the one
I just don't think they should sing in English, it sounds awful.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:52, Reply)

I concur
Although my opinion is based entirely on that godawful "Amerika" song from the Reise, Reise album
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 9:59, Reply)

Only the chorus is in English, isn't it?
They've also released 'Stripped' and did 'Du Hast' as an English version.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Dec 2010, 10:00, Reply)

The chorus was sufficient
Du Hast in English? Surely that's just...
