Tim Rogers/ Missy Higgins Altercation

[bragg]

Perhaps he suggested the song should have been called "Axe Wound".

GOLD.....Champagne comedy !!!

Maybe this should be on the misheard lyrics thread, but I swear that I hear her say in the opening verse that some bloke gives her cleaning products and suggests bluntly that she uses them down her bum.

Who was she dating, Andrew Dice Clay?

Timmy is a dead set aussie legend! You just have to accept he will sometimes be very drunk. As a frequent UamI gig attender, as well as the twin set, and on his lonesome (Evan Dando, Tim and Bob Evans at the Watershed in Perth was a true classic night out lasy year), the only thing that surprised me about the initial report is that he was only "allegedly" drunk.

Ya pack of wowsers, all great rock bands have days they push it too far - I'm sure you could find ACDC, Stones, Doors, whoevers, have all been ********e and drunk on their days.

As for the Muttonchop criticism - that is way way out of line.

Seriously though, I saw him solo about 3-4 years ago I think - maybe not that long, and he was so happy and having a great time, new kid etc he was Mr Happy. But then a gig I did not attend in Freo only a couple of years ago apparently he fell onto the drum kit. You just have to take that from genuine from the heart musos, as opposed to choreographed and calculated bands.

I'm sure Missy will get over it, knows he is a legend, and they will kiss n make up.

or you can take it that he is a complete fu cktard who has lost the plot.

I know i would be seriously annoyed if the "performer" who was fronting a band I had payed to see was slurring, falling over, and generally unable to do his "job".

So you never saw the Pogues then?

So you never saw the Pogues then?

Who have had a set of reunion gigs over Christmas in the UK. I saw them on their last reunion in 2001 and it was completely mad (and bizarrely while always **********ed) was much better than when I saw them in 91. Their auld albums are being reissued at the moment with additional tracks (available on amazon but haven't seen them here).

I imagine otaku will be getting along to the Idol concerts.

and for that matter while shane was clearly **********ed I've never seen a more joyous, mad crowd than at the Brixton Academy.

 

[Leaping Lindner]

When they played Adelaide in 1990 Shane lasted about a minute into the first song and collapsed. Spider Stacy did the vocal honours for the rest of the gig.

I saw him at the ANU in Canberra in 91 and he lasted 3 songs before barfing into the crowd and being taken offstage...

 

[Leaping Lindner]

I meant 91 (those years tend to blend together for me). You got 3 songs that's not bad!!!!
Do you know off hand if any of the reissued stuff includes live stuff done with Joe Strummer? I've been trying to get hold of that gear for ages.

 

[The invisible mullet]

They were similarly blurred for me. No the Strummer stuff isn't on any of the reissues as far as I know (although there are a couple of live tracks). On Rum, Sodomy and the Lash they've added tracks from the EP Poguetry in Motion and they've added a range of other B sides on to the other albums. They're looking at putting out a boxed set of rarities sometime this year which will probably include some Strummer stuff and BBC sessions. They're also looking at putting out a live Cd from the 2001 tour which was a cracker - absolutely mad.

Hardest working band in rock history ? i`m sure you are just embellishing for the sake of the arguement ......but for the record , that is cr.p

Think you will find I said "Hardest working band in Aussie Rock History, but I see you choose to see what you want to see.

As for anything else Id have to say in response, I think funkyfreo summed it up perfectly..

Well said funky.

and you paid for this??

jokes on you then aint it?

And no, idol isnt my choice of music style either.

 

[The invisible mullet]

Well to be fair there was enough talent in that band (3 other vocalists) to still have a pretty good concert so I still got value for money. That said Brixton 2001 he went the distance and was in good form and it was a cracking concert.

 

[The Super Grass]

Dont worry Otaku. I hear Milli Vanilli are reforming

so, you went to see three decent musos, and one bellend.

Fair enough.

save a seat for me then

 

[The Super Grass]

Doh!

Yu were meant to say 'isnt one of them dead".

To which I was to reply, "And the difference?"

You pass music knowedge with flying colors due to you lack of bad music knowledge.

I don't remember you being on stage.

I love that decent music. None of that awful, dirty rawk. Its such a racket. Why can't they all be like Ronan Keating.

 

[otaku]

you admitted it was a better concert when he wasnt puking his guts up into the crowd.

It seems you agree with me, but are to worried about your "image" to say so

i feel sorry for people like you. By the way, who is Ronan Keating?

Image? What drugs are you on?

The 2001 concert was better but the 91 concert was value for money as well. And 3 decent musos - well no I paid to see 8 great musicians perform great material - one was burning himself out(and eventually the band) but he's no bellend - and the other 7 were still great - and you'd have to be a prime knob not to have expected alcohol to be flowing at a Pogues concert.

You can still take back that Ronan Keating Christmas album (but remember you say it best when you say nothing at all).

well, there ya go - had to look up who the pogues where - never heard of them. Seems their front mans images was to get ********ed eh? wow, thats so out there. Pfft.

I dont give a rats if you get slaughtered as part of a band - but when it means ytou cant perform as you are paid to do so, then you are p|ssing in the eye of the fans.

You can still take back that Ronan Keating Christmas album (but remember you say it best when you say nothing at all).

how come you are so up on the whos who of the Pap world at the moment? (I also had to look up who Ronan Keating was)

It wasn't an image it was an unfortunate reality. By that stage he was close to a liability on stage which led to their breakup a couple of years later - in most cases the rest of the band could still put together a blinder of a set (hence they were still great value). Nonetheless he wrote some of the great songs of the decade in direct contrast to the anodyne pap which dominated the airwaves in the 80s.

Come on Otaku we know you know who Ronan Keating is - its okay to like the 20something Daniel O'Donnell.

so, you admit he was more of a liability that an assest when he was drunk? So, you were just arguing with me for the sake of arguing?
Fair enough

nup, never listened to any of his stuff. If he is in the pap charts, i would be guessing he is not my cup of tea. And who is daniel o'donnell?
