Reading the thread where people are talking about the first band they ever saw and the best gig they ever went to and the next one to come, got me thinking.
Have you always been a metal fan/punk/pop person etc, or have your tastes changed over the years?
For me, I was a big fan of the Beatles...
Ah yes, I remember. Wonder what they were like without the great man himself.
He was such a showman wasn't he.
First record I ever heard of theirs was Next and I was blown away by it.
Saying that though, the loudest band I ever saw was the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. That really hurt my ears. Spent the whole concert with my hands over them
That was Coventry Theatre too.
Yup. I was very young. I think I was 10 or 11. Coventry Theatre 1972 I think.
I just remember them being very, very loud. Really enjoyed it though.
When was Deep Purple in Rock? 1970? 71?
I didn't find him that funny, but he was a very good host and performer, it has to be said.
Not sure I want him to be a national treasure to be honest. 😂 Remember Glitter, Savile, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris etc.
No, true.
I did think the second episode though seemed much lighter in tone and always came across as some sort of comedy caper. I stil liked it, but thought it was at odds with the first episode, which was much darker in tone.
