Only 10? 😉
Nowhere and Scremanger are some of the best rock songs of the 90s, Some where I've got a digipack of Opel Mantra in the cave. Despite the crap they churned out later on, they are still an awesome band live. Is it wrong to still want the logo tatood on my arm?
Gentlemen, start your axes!

Just spotted myself on a video of Therapy? playing the Cambridge Junction, can't believe that was twenty years ago!
Well that's my in car listening sorted for the drive home tonight 😀
Troublegum was my first exposure to Therapy? I remember buying the album on cassette when it was released after reading about it in Kerrang, came out just before I went on a school trip to Germany, near enough wore the tape out in that one trip!
Saw them play Troublegum on full on Crooked Timber tour in 2010. They were utterly brilliant.
Checking dates to see them in April now.
Was at the same Monsters of Rock. Had gone to get a burger before Korn were due to be on but when we realised Therapy were on instead we had a proper fight through the crowd of disappointed teenagers to get to the front again.
"Stop It You're Killing Me" Mega,Mega riff!.Get in!.
Saw them in Preston Student's Union half a lifetime ago, I've never heard three men make so much noise before or since. Sounded like they were a six-piece.
It's a good job Screamager is only two and a half minutes long, or I'd have long since died of exhaustion on the main floor at Jilly's.
Always loved the clasic tracks but seeing them live a few years ago was a real dissapointment. It was in the Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh and every comment out of his mouth was either sectarian, anti-english or just plain inflamatory. Gave the gig a real shitty atmosphere and wasn't surprised to see several fights break out.
Funny, I would have been at that gig (never missed them at the Liquid Rooms) and I remember no such thing, nor at any of the other Therapy shows over the years...
Seen them a couple of times in the last few years and they really don't cut it without Sebastian Bach (yes I know it's been like forever since he left). However, Sebastian Bach as a solo artist with his own band was right good
I was a fan of Skid Row until I saw them live at MOR: The band were brilliant but Bach was simply awful. The guy can not sing live to save his life. It wasn't just that gig either as I have also seen lots of footage of them live before and after.
Slave to the Grind will always remain a favourite, though.
Never quite got Therapy, was too busy discovering Metallica and Nirvana.
1995 Donnington was the one when you could barely see the sky for bottles when Metallica came on, my mate got hit by a watermelon and we got serious cases of the shits from the hog roast...
20 years this year since Kurt Cobain died...
Saw them supported by Skunk Anansie. 20 years really, arrgghh
Loved Nurse and got Troublegum the week of release. I am old! Got this it the collection somewhere too - must have bought it when I was 14.

Now playing:
Feeling old +1
One of my favourite bands in my later teens, but still not sure about the cello phase [s](irc he is/was James Banbury, the same cellist as the Auteurs had, and must have been a busy boy around that time as both bands were recording/touring iirc. He is only ever referred to as "the Cellist" in the rather excellent Luke Haines books.)[/s] (edit) actually Discogs says they were 2 different cellists all along. 😳 Anyway, I digress. Opal Mantra EP was my favourite release. Especially the James Joyce bit.
My fairly modest collection of their vinyl was recycled via ebay a few years ago into quite a lot of bike parts. 😀 Sacrilege, I know but you can't ride a bright green 7" disc of plastic round the woods can you?
Donington 95 was my first concert. I loved Therapy?, but always found them disappointing live.
I threw a strawberry cake at Seb Bach's, because I thought Skid Row sucked...
Was that the one where Seb ran on stage, slipped on dry ice and slid straight off the other side again?
The cellist was mostly Martin McCarrick- quite a discog that boy, Marc Almond, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Skunk Anansie, Biffy Clyro, Gary Numan... Was never totally sure about all the strings stuff but hey, it was interesting. Wish the Almighty had kept their horn section but they were too expensive 🙂
(apparently when Biffy wanted some strings, they said "Let's get the boy out of Therapy?", but he wasn't available. So they said, "who else does rawk strings? Oh, his missus!" When she turned up for the first session Martin gave her a lift and got more or less pressganged into doing the album. This is how the music industry works?)
My favourite band. Seen them more times than I can remember and will be making it to two of the April gigs this year.
Northwind - Infernal Love is really underrated. The version of Diane with the strings is awesome.
You can see my spiky-haired head bobbing happily at the front in this vid.
Yeah, always thought it was a shame that they lost faith in the album- deserved better.
Always liked their cover of The Smiths' 'Vicar in a Tutu'.
...every comment out of his mouth was either sectarian, anti-english or just plain inflamatory
That really surprises me. 😕
every comment out of his mouth was either sectarian, anti-english
Can you elaborate on this? Knowing Andy I find this hard to believe.
94 brixton academy...I was in the front of that lot 😀
Was that the one where Seb ran on stage, slipped on dry ice and slid straight off the other side again?
No, that was '92, it was from all the bottles thrown at the stage as soon as they started up that he slipped on! Quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen at a gig.
First gig I ever went to - 1995ish at leeds T&C.
great band!
Is the drummer in a dress not rik from ash?
Thread Resurrection - Off to see them on April - last time was 1994.
Can't wait.
Oink. Jealous.
Last time I saw them was in some shed in Preston. They were ace, and it was very much a greatest hits set.
And I got the same plane to Vienna as them in 2005.
And Mike McKeegan's cousin was in my year at uni.
I even managed to sneak Troublegum into the 'classic albums' column in the uni paper when I wrote for it (in 1997, because they were desperate for writers rather than any talent on my part).
