Manchester Concert - Bon Jovi, The Feeling, Heavens Basement

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I saw Heaven's Basement is their previous incarnation as Roadstar and they were pretty awesome.
I'd love to see Bon Jovi - but the Feeling...? Not for me.

I quite like the Feeling (going by the 5 or 6 songs that I know of theirs) .... but I've gotta admit that they were quite cr@p live .... Heaven's Basement were quite good, even though I'd never seen or heard of them before :shock: .

Bon Jovi?

you have to be kidding?


I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still Im standing tall
Ive seen a million faces an Ive rocked them all

Im a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Im a cowboy, I got the night on my side
Im wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Lyrically I rest my case your honour. Hey why not go listen to Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler while your there and then afterwards we could go home and put on those great Phil collins records.

Ok I'll stick with Cream and Led Zeppelin thanks in order to keep my soul intact

Fair enough - each to their own - but don't knock it, if you haven't seen them live.
I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of their songs .... but live ... they just own the crowd. I've been to quite a few concerts and these are by far the best crowd pleasers :shock: .

Like I say ... each to their own - you stick with your Led Zep and Cream .... and I'll stick with these :roll: .

ermm .... a bit of a difference between Led Zep and MC Hammer :shock: .

I think my first concert was The Damned back in 1984/85 ish at Manchester Apollo (is that place still standing ??).

I've seen Bon Jovi about 4 or 5 times now and they're always fantastic. There aren't all that many band who can put on a show like they do. Glad that you enjoyed them.

as a full time music snob, i must say "they give music a bad name..."

hey, you may think what i listen to is rubbish too - differences as well as gravity make the world go round...

Led Zepplin, Snore fest. Okay they have a few that are really good, "Black Dog" songs But when half a record is the worlds longest and boring drum solo...please. I like most of the music of the time but for some reason Led Zepplin just bores me and if I have to hear 'Stairway To Heaven" one more time I'm, I'm...well I'm not going to do anything, but I'm not going to like it!

Bon Jovi I like best when he is on his own, but it is no Aerosmith.
