Where was that then Kid? Broadgate Centre ice rink? I was there today, walking past, but not yesterday!
btw, shhh about the suit - I don't want people to think I'm a boring git of a city worker.
Damn, too late...
If you're around that way in future, let me know, we should meet up.

Lav it!
I remember the first time I heard it they spun the whole thing over the PA at The Lyceum a few weeks before it came out I remember thinking "this is really the sound of the modern world" or words to that effect ...

Re : Johnny Ramone
Just read he was voted
16th Best Guitarist of all
time in Rolling Stone ,
so i guess he's not underrated,
but i would not say he's overrated
by any stretch.

And not's let forget that Bowie himself played all the guitars on the 'Diamond Dogs' album......
Yeah- good call for all!
There's great footage around of Adrian Belew playing with Bowie circa 1978 in Bremen -
I also like that 12" single called "Big Electric Cat" - the way he used to bend the neck (literally!) of that battered stratocaster he had was great.
Reeves Gabrels did a great solo on a version of "Heroes" on the Jools Holland Later show one time.
I've always thought that Bowie as a 'multi-instrumentalist' was always 'unsung' too.

"Walk Don't Run" is great, but I say "Uncle Harry's Last Freakout" tops them all!
Plus he also replaced Lemmy as the bassist in Hawkwind, a pretty neat thing to have on yer resume!
