Bands that can't still cut it

[Leedsbusdriver]

I've got tickets to see an 82 year old Frankie Valli in Leeds next year. I don't think he will be hitting the high notes like he used to do.

Was that the line up with Bruce Foxton ?

Foxton plays in From The Jam. Saw them this summer and I though they would be rubbish but they were very good

Completely lost track on that....Just checked, Bruce was with SLF from the mid 80s for 15 years , he joined up with Rick Buckler to form From the Jam in 2007.

It was over 8 years ago I saw a surprise appearance by Paul Weller to perform Etonian Rifles at a Rifles show at the Forum......

[QUOTE 4538591, member: 76"]I saw them in the early 80s, and through the years. The last time was a couple of years ago in Bristol. Dear oh dear, they were dire!

But they still recorded a song that will always be in all time top 3![/QUOTE]

Alternative Ulster ?

Nothing wrong with this if played very loud.

Isn't this often described as being the worst ever Super Bowl performance

Talking of Ulster, The Undertones are doing the rounds, but surely without Feargal Sharkey they aren't the Undertones, his voice was the hook.

Yeah, Indianapolis were rubbish.

Yep , I wonder if it is even the original line up .

I went to one of those 80s rewind festivals. Big lineup, inevitably some bands can still really do it (such as, amazingly, Adam and the Ants) but some really can't and should give it up

Stand up........Boomtown Rats

IMHO the Boomtown Rats should have given up before they even started.

[QUOTE 4538398, member: 45"]Used to be good. Kept going far too long or tried a comeback and failed. I'll start:

The Alarm

The Police

The Who

The Rolling Stones[/QUOTE]

Err you're on crack about The Stones

 

[Primal Scream]

Saw them a couple of months ago and they were good but not great, stand out looking after number one though

saw them a year or so ago. most disapointed they didnt play Joeys on the Street again, but it was a good evening

they were great back in the day, but without Feargal, no thanks..
Have you seen the film good vibrations about the Belfast record shop ?

That whole album is brilliant, I played it to death back then
Although its a bit factually incorrect, I really like Half a life away.

I've been a devout hater of all things Status Quo for years (3 chord wonders), but their new song isn't bad at all I'm pained to say. Probably because it doesn't sound like them..

Shakey's new one isn't too bad either, which is a nigh on miracle!.
