Well the songs LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG and WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL were written by YACOUB R/FALK C/KOTECHA S, so unless the band write under pseudonyms I'd guess it's not them.

What can I say...I didn't think you could go down in my estimation any further, but with this you manage to. FFS who prefers steaming shite like Marillion to Joy Division? Are you deaf?!?



Queen are pretty terrible though IMO. If they're influential, it certainly isn't upon anyone who's any good-oh, aside from that Family Guy episode where Stewie is scared of an album cover. That's quite good. Foo Fighters are very much the overly commercial career-betraying afterbirth of Nirvana. And Queen certainly aren't as critically acclaimed as some claim on here. They're very naff.

Fair enough. I'd never heard of them until now to be honest, only time I hear that sort of music is when I'm steaming in Scholars.
I'd rather be listening to some mid to late 90s hip-hop or be off my tits in Ibiza.
Saying that, I went to Download Festival last year and Metallica and Black Sabbath were quality.

They (or Tony Parsons - their manager - I think) used their funding for the Hacienda in Madchester, and promoted the Happy Mondays etc.. So I suppose they did really

Erm yes, I am although to be fair to OD they do get credits on some of the songs along with the other composers. I've no idea which bits they wrote and there is no suggestion at all that they are vanity credits.

Different tastes an all that, which is perfectly fine.

That music that you are listening to whilst off your tits in Ibiza...., that whole scene was pioneered by New Order at places like the Hacienda in the 1980's born from the band Joy Division. That's influence in a sense of music and culture defining that Queen have never done.

Indeed it is - listened to it again the other week and still awesome. You can hear where it influenced others over the years. Film isn't bad either

Wow a music thread! Or was that something about the stadium?

Ok back on point because to get involved in the 80's music scene again for me is too good a memory.

people need to realise before they consider SISU would not build a stadium due to cost that such a stadium would most likely be built by a developer of a site. Money would pour in from all over. SISU's outlay would in fact be small. They would end up the owners with a mortgaged freehold property or even a 125 year lease. The projection for such a mortgage or lease is less than the 1.2m they were paying for renting the Ricoh pitch! This time the income of everything they do is theirs. beginning to make more sense?

For me though I still believe the part ownership or long lease interest in the Ricoh is the more viable option for them. But don't rule out a new stadium, far from it. The modular design is easy in concept and built to speed, can be increased in capacity during a close season.
Perhaps ACL need to realise they may have another stadium competing for business with them in a few years time and the football club would be the big headline grabber that ACL could not offer.

What I want is a sensible council work something out with the football club for the long term and offer SISU a clear exit strategy they could live with while the stadium is always in the football clubs hands whoever own the football club from time to time. In other words a clause that stipulates an owner can not sell the stadium interest without the football club.

They were the true originals, and there are plenty of others in between, but New Order and The Hacienda scene were the beginning of modern dance music-in this country at least.

Shouldn't forget the likes of Tubeway Army, Classix Neaveux and Depeche Mode either - Oh for the late 70's early 80's again (musically, football of course - not politics). Quite like a lot the Queen "stuff" as well by the way

Ah the Hacienda...happy memories of a couple of nights out there, although at the time I was having too much of a good time to remember anything.

The manager was Tony Wilson, the man who managed to lose money on New Orders Blue Monday the best selling 12 inch of all time by making the cover of the disc more expensive than the sale price....mad!

A great time which seemed to start off with the music of Joy Division. For anyone interested in that period a good film to watch is 24 Hour party people, which is based on Wilsons life during that era, with Steve Coogan playing Wilson, and covering the time from Joy Division, to the closure of the Hacienda.

Sorry a bit off topic!

There's 1 Queen song that I like and that's Too Much Love Will Kill You. It's the only one of their songs that has an emotional truth to it, although even that cranks up a bit on the chorus. They went for showmanship and commercialism over expression and artistic merit. On the contrary, emotional truth and expression seep out of every Joy Division song. Sometimes they're too much for me but I would always choose them over Queen, and would never ever put a Queen track on out of choice - they make my stomach turn.

Whilst the fact about each member of the band having four number one hits is impressive (in a sense), to me it says more about them understanding the mechanics of what makes a song a commercial success rather than what makes a song good.

Bang on-topic, fella!

I was going to mention 24 Hour Party People. Soundtrack's great, too. I now have Voodoo Ray in my head


I often wondered whether this Fall track was partly about Tony Wilson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=j_Et2w-LjBc#t=288

Some intersting points there, but I'm not sure about money pouring in...

In any case, Joy herself said 40% equity, 60% debt.

On a £20m stadium that leaves £12m for the club to find.

Even at 3% p.a. that's £800,000 per year over 20 years if I've done my figures correctly.

Even without considering the losses that are currently mounting up, and the losses that are already there, that's a lot of money to find from a much smaller set of customers. Can't see how it works myself.

Some of that can be profit from selling of land and leases.
