Genesis Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Should I go and see the Fall when they come around here? It sounds cheap and I haven't been to a gig in a very long time.In other news, Frankie Goes to Hollywood have cancelled their tour. Swines!

mr-fukaji Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 its always hit and miss with the fall, one of the best bands of all time, no doubt. but live, it can be the best gig you have ever sene or the worst shit ever, the line up these days generally are usually always good rather than bad, just make sure mark is smiling when he comes out, if he looks grumpy then its going to be a bit off, if he looks cheery or indifferent, it will be great.similarly, the new album is fucking great.

Genesis Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 I have no access to any of their music, apart from 30 second clips from allmusic.com, because Limewire is shit. But I know I like it because it's similar to other bands from that era I like.Plus, Lard was with them to start, and he's God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-fukaji Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 if you havent seen them before, defenitely go, cant be touched live when they're on form.make sure you get hold of their 1st album and everything up to Perverted By Language whenever you can, spot on.and the new album, fall heads roll.

Genesis Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 If they can be found for a fiver, then you've got it.Their 'BBC Sessions collected' boxset is priced rather reasonably for 6 disks of live music. Perhaps it could be wise getting that as a best-of type. It's outrageous and probably unadvisable, but sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me, like my £40 transactions of Judas Priest's Metalogy and Joy Division's 'Heart and Soul' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-fukaji Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 the peel box set is essential, defenitely worth egtting that if you're on a tight budget before getting anything else, they were always at their best for the sessions. i saw them a few weeksago here and they were amazing, almost as good as the time before that when mark was in a wheelchair sat behind the table for the whole gig.the heart and soul box set is good, got it for twenty quid.

Genesis Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 Why yes, it is very good. And 20 is a bargain compared to the extra 10 i was thieved from.The gigs on Monday, so I really should buy the tickets tonight. Im thinking maybe a Hallowe'en feel?
