It's a flimsy enough topic for a documentary ... Musicians who were in Rock Bands didn't stay young forever.

For sure the best ones did not unfortunately..........:(

"Live fast, die young, have a good looking corpse" was the mantra in those days..

Good point, it's a bit silly isn't it?

Then some of them died, but some of them didn't!

It's so true.

The Darkness gave it a good go a few years back. Went to see them in The Olympia a few months back. Outstanding, shame they broke up after two albums for a few years.

Saw them at Glastonbury and Leeds 2003 - good, silly headbanging fun!

These guys seem to have the attitude of 'oh, I'm old, so I can't perform rock 'n' roll anymore'.

Sounds like an interview on the LLS.....

Well, I might have died and I could have died but in fact I didn't die but my canary did and....and....and....

We need a heavy rock band to give the music industry a swift kick in de balls :pac:

i remember the same in the early 90s. music was dominated by the likes of 2 unlimited and other such eurotrash. then one night while watching The Word some band called Nirvana came on, he said something about the best **** in the world, courtney love, and the rest was history.

we need another nirvana.

Justin Hawkins was going out with Noddy Holder's Daughter at one point.

That would have been one wedding I would have liked to have been at.

I saw The Darkness once, really good band. They could have been much bigger.

Ol' Donie · 23-02-2014 12:08AM

We need another Hermin's Hermits!

grey_so_what · 23-02-2014 12:08AM

Iggy gives me the shivers when he does those freaky ads nowadays.....:(

At the risk of falling into the trap of "the best music is the music when i was a teenager" i agree.

Doesn't help that the charts are full of Mumford-and-Sons soundalikes.

This defeatist attitude is bumming me out...say it ain't so, Iggy!

It's mad to see the interviews in the Beatles Anthology where the Interviewer is trying to convince the Beatles fans that The Beatles are almost finished, and that Herman's Hermits are the next big thing.

I feel like going out and buying a few dozen mass cards.........:(

Misspellings on the Wedding invitation - Z's instead of S's, Slade-style

My musical taste starts from about 1975, anything before that is dead to me.

Ol' Donie · 23-02-2014 12:17AM

Only You is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

It would be more interesting to look at what they tried to do instead of being in a band.

Like Mick Jagger's acting career, others did TV or Radio Presenting etc
