I still have my video of when Wayne and the boys were on The Tube.
That was bloody amazing.
Were any of you lot gigging in London from 86 on?
We would always see the neffies,lorries,mish and salvation
Looking back it amazes me how far we would go to see The Hunters Club on a wet Wednesday night.
Loved Balaam as well,a right laugh. I remember Reading 86,it just started to drizzle and they played Don't Burn Me Down. I was off my face and if ever a person could be genetically entwined with music it was at that point.
At the other end of the scale seeing the neffies support laibach in Germany was a bit scary. Laibach has a swastika made out of axes for a back drop and 2 very Aryan drummers in leiderhosen up front.
The dormant nazi gene was switched back on and all of a sudden it wasn't a good place to be English.
Any other sad old gits who want to drone on about the good old days feel free.Posted 7 months ago # -
this thread just goes to show that old "goths" never die, they just smell a bit funny like wee soaked mothballs and still have an urge to wear more shiny silver things than a magpie

spent many years touring around Europe with various tribes of goth with the most time spent with the neph, NMA, creaming jesus, END-G and rosetta stone.

die laughing or as we knew them "die snacking" as the singer was a very big lassPosted 7 months ago # -
The hiss of the dry ice machine just before the neffies took the stage.
That was just about the most exciting thing I knew. The set was always different so you never knew what song was next.
McCoy was one cool bastard wasn't he?
Don't care for much after the split though.
If if they just got back for the money it would be so good. Everyone else is doing it. PLEASE.
Just to hear the opening notes of Preacher Man one more time.

This was local band Skeletal Family's first single Feb 1983, I have fond memories of local Punky Pete selling them out of a carrier bag in the White Horse Pub in Bingley. It's the only 7" single I still own.

Did anyone know Nula the girl with Green hair from Thornton Heath?
Posted 7 months ago # -
Talking of the larger ladies, there was a girl we called 'Hilda The Builder' which we thought was funny. Then we got talking to her friends and they called her 'Conan The Librarian'.
Trumped us big time.
Apologies if anyone on here has married her.Posted 7 months ago # -
luckily, these days, I look like a quite and respectable business man so I blend into the background and no-one would ever know my secret side buckled pixie booted shame

Just got home and I can see the videos. Thanks everyone,
Most mornings before I open my shop I play Eighties by Killing Joke really chuffing loud just to get me going for the day. Beats any coffee.Posted 7 months ago # -

Enjoying the thread. If you're liking this sort of thing then can recommend picking up a copy of "The Dark Reign of Gothic Rock", a most amusing read. Was a bit young for much of this myself, catching the tail end of it all. Still remember seeing the mission play live around 1990, excellent stuff, even if Wayne Hussey could just about stand up through most of the gig.

Why was it the girls always wanted to sit on your shoulders for the long songs? No wonder my knees are knackered!

Faileds of the Nephilim were poor mans Sisters I'm afraid.
They were good at what they did but it was basically a sisters tribute band doing original material.
Sisters of Mercy around 1984- 87 (Albert Hall?) Eldrich,Adams, Marx, Hussey era) was unsurpassed. Every song on First & last & Always was a gem.
Shame I never got my act together to see them live (although I did see the Nephilim, lorries, and offshets the mission, ghostdance a fair bit and virtually lived in Rock City, Notts for a while)

strange I always thought the sisters managed about 1 albums worth of decent tracks and a lot of fairly dull stuff whereas the Neph were far better musicians and massively better Live and as a massive bonus they didn't have the arrogant little tosspot that eldritch was.

or even better some bugger with clogged biker boots wanted to stand on you to build the biggest tower possible in the middle of crowd.
We did get up to the ceiling at a couple of roesetta gigs

Fair point.
Felt nostalgic so you tubed SOM at Albert Hall. Quality viewing.

Used to like a bit of Goffy in the morning
I always wonder why so many goth bands hail from within the Rhubarb Triangle...
