    I guess twitter would be the go to place, but I dont have an account anymore, but where could I send a mail to say I hope the show continues in some form in the future, even once a week, and not buried on 2XM??

    Somewhere it would actually be read?

    2XM would not be relevant anyway as that is for alternative rock.

    Euphoria Mourning is one of those brilliant hidden gem albums.

    Scott Hutchison is one

    Chris Cornell is the other....

    I wonder will The late debate return in September? It would normally finish around now for the summer anyway. I presume the reason for replacing it with this classic rock show is that John Kenny would be idle without any sport going on.

    You can't beat RUSH. I'll have to ask John will he play 'Cut To The Chase' off Counterparts. Lifeson does a super solo on that tune.

    I’m sure if Richey Edwards is listening in, he’ll be shocked to find out he doyed.


    He’s working the night shift at Spar in Merthyr Tydfil.

    I think the theme is 'gone too soon'. It's a medical miracle Lemmy lived as long as he did :D

    Gone too soon...

    Did he play any Queen/Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Prince, Joe Division (Ian Curtis), Nirvana (Kurt Cobain), Jimi Hendrix, ACDC (Bon Scott), or Doors (Jim Morrison)?

    surely 1 hour a week on Radio 1 could be found for this show to continue?

    And rightly so; it was recorded during their commercial phase :cool:

    Instead of that it should have been 'How the f*ck is he still alive' featuring:

    Guns N Roses
    Alice Cooper
    Megadeth
    Ozzy
    Black Sabbath
    No Motley Crue because they're sh1te.

    The Rolling Stones, especially Keith Richards!

    Shane McGowan (with The Pogues or The Popes!)

    Pete Townsend (with or without The Who) - he had some serious addictions in the 1970s
    Eric Clapton - ditto

    Pete Doherty (do I have to explain?)

    I heard some of his show the last two nights. One of the songs I happened to hear last night was She's Lost Control by Joy Division. That's great to hear on the radio.

    I heard the first 10 or 15 minutes of the show last night. It was great to hear My Way by Sid Vicious - that's one that is not played much on radio at all!

    Is This It by The Strokes was the featured album last night..... How is that album 20 years old?? (many others texting in were thinking the same!)

    Jesus that album accompanied some good times for me, it came out around junior cert time and was an ever present thru all my teenage years, underage partying and general messing!! Great memories!
