I've seen them a few times in the last 10 years or so. They're always entertaining. And both albums they've released since they got back together are well worth getting - and I'm another who didn't like the goth stuff of the Captain-less mid to late 80's. Edit: That's not say there wasn't a bit of goth thing going on from the late 70's onwards or even on the newer stuff, but I'm sure you know what I mean!

That Michael Ball makes me want to embalm myself you know! :-) Astralcat wrote: but anyway, I shall not be posting again. Oh lordy, why do flouncers always announce they're flouncing? See you soon no doubt. :-) Astralcat wrote: I'm a free surfing forward thinking mofo, you see. Such Is Life. Om Shanti :-) Again, really? :-) I've always thought you were a person with one of the most reactionary outlooks that posted on here :-) Reactionary ??? I fail to see that. It's very hard to convey humour, and as for fish in a barrell, it's about having a laugh. There's only so many references to Scandinavian Death Metal that a fellow can take. I've been accussed of being po-faced, ha ha!..when there are so many other more worthy examples of po-facedness on this forum! :-) Well my reading of the situation is no more provable than yours, but I got the impression Mr Torino himself was being ironic with that last comment? Perhaps he'd like to explain himself in my office at 3.45. And in case any of the moderators read this, no I'm not implying that I think emoticons should be introduced on HH. I don't know what's going on anymore. Yesterday, in retropsepct, I may have been a bit tetchy due to chronic toothache and a shite day at work (my impacted wisdom tooth is holding a festival in my jaw) and being dosed up to the gills on co-dydramol and being very tired and jazzmotional due to lack of a previous nights sleep doesn't help either. It's only marginally better today. Not in the best frame of mind right now.

What's the point of paying all that money for a ticket if you can't hear yourself chat? ; ) Conversations at Sunn 0))) gigs are often delivered through the medium of mime and interpretative dance...or by lip reaing "Sorry, I can't hear you. LoL".

As I unwittingly gave you a lead into that advertisement AND bigged them up for you, I'm wondering if I'm entitled to a percentage? Emoticon.

It's only marginally better today. Not in the best frame of mind right now. Speaking for myself dude I hope you don't go, flounce whatever.... Thing is, what I personally find a bit difficult to square sometimes is the notion of your good self as a kaftan-wearing, chakra-juggling, crystal nibbling, ley lining, incense sniffing hippy fellow, supposedly a purveyor of posi-vibes and melloness, that somehow always seems at their most animated and energetic when pretty much slagging every thing off in the cosmos. It kinda dilutes the good vibes, such as they may be, when one is faced with a 50 NEGAton blow-out of Victor Meldrewisms when the person concerned presents the world with a rainbow-hued peacenik aura, if you see what I mean? I personally, and for good reason, have a problem with possible 'bitter hippies' and I shall tell you why. One Glastonbury, many moons ago, we were camping next to a friendly enough bunch one of whom had clearly just passed his "Hippie 101" and was very keen to show his credentials. So, this fellow was Chakra Chief, Crystal gazer, good vibes, Up the Tor, smoke me Kaftan incarnate. But, when he'd had a few drinks, the facade dropped and he was the moaningest, slag-offiest, conservative (with a small C), bitter cos the world wasn't like he wanted it, small minded fuck in Avalon. And it was worse cos he hid all this under the tye-dye bonhomie that was his armour and disguise. If he'd just been a moaning cunt, that woulda been better. But to spew buckets of bile relentlessly at everyone and everything and then suggest a group hug and bongo sesh after was the pits. So I'm understanably wary of these things. His name was Steve by the way, if you wish to avoid 8^)
