This reminded me when you used to see a TV advert for an artists album and they’d play a snipped of a song, then another one, then they finish the advert with the first song again. You know it’s going to be shit when they didn’t dare play a third track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's a joke about country music clichés, but it's a perfectly legit thing to write about, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Come to think of it, I think I’ve previously quoted one of my absolute worst gigs being Brian May, where he started the gig with the music from a Ford advert he had done. Mid gig, I thought it was odd, but he played it again. End of gig encore, he did the Ford advert again. That wasn’t even the worst thing about the gig.

bickster Posted June 19 Moderator Share Posted June 19 A band doing the odd cover of another bands songs live is a good thing IMO, nothing wrong with a nod to your influences. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Wax work figures. Wow, it marginally looks like a person. It's slightly worse than the person or an actual picture. Dogshit. Pointless. Get rid of 'em 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a line on her forehead where clearly the Botox started but it was so obvious and unmoving and the forehead so prominent that it looked like she was wearing one of those poorly applied bald wigs the likes of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are fond of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I found slightly odd, was up in the top corner of the screen was the Reform manifesto launch looped with pictures of Farage celebrating something and saying thank you and waving. Just on loop like it was ‘live’, but it was from the day before. I’ve never seen Newsnight doing anything remotely similar to that before, on any story or for any party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in the case of the latter, most audiences will take the opposite line: "Play something we know!" Sorry, should have made it clear - I meant famous bands, i.e ones with a sizeable enough back catalogue of well known songs to not have to cover other well known artists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
