Eh?

Is this a candidate for the worst miming EVER in the history of telly?

Hexagonal drum pads - the 80's, alright.

I saw Der Human League in Lepoardstown over the Summer.

Not bad, although I got the feeling they were sick of singing Dont You Want Me Baby for the 1,247th time.

Was saying to a pal, I'd love to see them watching that video today..... I suspect there'd be a certain amount of squirming going on (even more than was going on on stage!)

Anyone staying on for the Genesis docu? I know it's been shown a million times, but they were such a class act, and just so different - I love it.

Ha, The Human League gave a good show in fairness, Heidi ... Phil even gave us a burst of Together in Electric Dreams as an encore.

I am dozing off now to be honest, but the Genesis doc is class ... they are all speaking from the heart with nothing to hide (or to plug).

Just watched 'The Story Of 1981' documentary - good stuff

Couldn't be mentioned of course, but MTV launching in '81 also played a major part in the visuals becoming as important as the music, ending the era of Legs & Co

And a rare appearance by Jerry Dammers

Zoo just couldn't make the same impression.

Gone were the days when audience members lived in fear of being crushed by the cameraman.

'Dare' was the big one of course, but the Human League's first two sausagefest albums are good too

And Kim Wilde? Still would

Heads up...the memorial service for Lemmy on Saturday night (at approx. 11pm over here) from the Sunset Strip

Watch it live here...

Starting now

Welsh Megaman · 09-01-2016 11:11PM

Marshall Amps in a church :cool:

Welsh Megaman · 09-01-2016 11:20PM

So many anecdotes, so little time

Skid X · 09-01-2016 11:23PM

I can hear a radio news feed in the background

The Son is giving a fine tribute.

It's in Los Angeles, WM says it's on the Sunset Strip.

Also, I like how the pews in the Church have lots of legroom. Easy to get in and out of without tripping up over everyone else **

** Not a post I ever expected to make on this thread

Welsh Megaman · 10-01-2016 12:05AM

All those swastikas in the comments, trolling a funeral feed - not cool

Patty O Furniture · 10-01-2016 12:10AM

Thanks, as the last 2 fellas mentioned something about Swindon :P

Youtube comments are the dregs of the Internet.

I loved that story about the Swindon Advertiser saying Motorhead's gig was in jeopardy after Lemmy's Death!

Welsh Megaman · 10-01-2016 12:18AM

When Slash walked down the aisle, I was expecting a 'November Rain' solo

Welsh Megaman · 10-01-2016 12:30AM

ALL HAIL THE METAL GOD!

Welsh Megaman · 10-01-2016 12:34AM

Has Scott swallowed a squirrel? :pac:

Skid X · 10-01-2016 12:38AM

Triple H, from the Wrestling?

Fair play.

They have all done Lemmy proud tonight. Must have been amazing to have had him as a friend.

Skid X · 10-01-2016 01:11AM

Very frustrating at the end ... the audio dropped for most of Dave Grohl's contribution, and then again when it looked like they were going to perform a song.

But lots of good stories that reinforced all the good stories you ever heard about the man, the legend - Lemmy. RIP.
