lol....... ::)

at the time the pistols were the most important thing to hit the music industry and give it what it needed, a kick up its sanctimonious back side, unfortunately the pistols didnt have the talent to keep going (except glen matlock who left when the idiot sid vicious joined) with other bands, the clash, d**ned, stranglers etc
in retrospect the pistols were typically eccentric british and could only be british, who else could've been arrested at the queens jubilee for taking their own boat on the thames and belting out the now classic 'god save the queen' superb. they are also probably the only band to have been in the weird situation of having a number 1 record that you couldnt hear on the radio, it was very difficult to get hold of in shops and you were unlikely to see the band live as councils banned them up n down the country.
with the help of the pistols yet again this nation beat the yanks in the music industry.............. ;D

due to demand they added 2 more nights, so thats approx 15,000 tickets, all sold in about 10 minutes if that, myself and 5 mates that were trying all failed :'(. now we cant get em for love, but we can for money as they're fetching £250 a pair on ebay........

Yeah, ticket allocation for these type of shows is a complete scam.

" Sold out in 30 minutes " you don't say , I wonder why ?

Coz they're sold to bulk buying ticket touts, that's why.

Within minutes they are on E-Bay for 3 or 4 times their face value.

Be careful cheekyboy, you're not as young as you were, we don't want your hipjoint popping out when pogo-ing to Holidays In The Sun

pmsl, my hip joints were tested recently at a jam tribute gig, they also get tested a few times a year watching stiff little fingers.........

anyway, since i gave up smoking in april i've put on a bit of weight, so i've now taken up cycling, mainly to work and back which is only a 5 mile round trip but its a start, but sunday i went on the freewheel event cycling round central london, i did 25 miles that day. so theres plenty of pogo left in me lol
