No. THIS is :

 

what were they booing - the performers or the characters. Ike was worthy of being booed, but not towards an actor playing him.

 

It seemed to be the girl playing Tina. She was sensational, so I've no idea why?

 

If I can just interrupt the punk rock/Ramones fest. A court case going on reckons that the first song has copied elements of the second. What do you think?

Is

plagiarising

Listened to both (and I like the first, but love the second) I would say no. It's a fairly similar backing track, but the melody is so different it is barely noticeable. Lots of songs have the same tempo, bass line - there is only a finite number of possibilities. The overall listen is very different.

 

The guitar in the first is playing something very similar to the bass in the second. Not sure it's the same, though.

 

Yes, the irritating ginger busker is ripping off Marvin Gaye.
At least Ramonescore bands admit they are ripping off the Ramones - it's called paying homage.

P.S You're very sarcy

P.P.S This isn't ripping off da Ramones, it's just copying stylistic elements of their sound

After hearing that Britain's answer to Ted Nugent Morrissey had cancelled his UK tour due to lack of ticket sales at £75 a pop despite no supporting act or staging to justify the cost something something left-wing protests, here's something to encapsulate my thoughts on the troubled genius jumped-up turd surrounded by yes-men and sycophants

 

Ska alert

Toots and the Maytals, the beat, lee scratch perry at alley palais 8th September.

I saw Toots Hibbert about 30 years ago and he was fekking old then, must be ancient now, but I bet well worth seeing. They were brilliant 30 years ago.

 

I saw Toots in about 1979, he was ****ing brilliant but he must be about 80 now. Love Lee Perry, for his own stuff and his work with Marley and on The Clash's Complete Control/City of the Dead....of course, leading to Marley writing and recording Punky Reggae Party.

Plus The Beat were fabulous, maybe the best UK ska band and Mick joined General Public when he was chucked out of The Clash. I love this, especially......

.

I might try and go but Mrs B is a totally non-Reggae person...........Heathen.

 

I think I will be in the UK then, if I am, I'll be there. My mrs likes eritrean music, also anti reggae, anti rock, anti anything decent. Double heathen

 

The problem is that the backing musicians play
pedesrian white middle-class, and not "riddim wild" .

And on that note, if you like me are a true child of the
Upsetter riddim :

50 YEARS AGO (FOUNDATION) !!!

 

£40 - that's a bargain. I'm in.

 

RIP Bay City Roller, Alan Longmuir, who died today. He was 70. I was shocked how old he was. Where does the time go?

I didn't hate this.......and that guitar sound.......Marquee Moon, anyone?

 

No one could hate that song, prefer it by the late, great Mary o'Brian, but whoever sings it, its going to be good.
I'm just surprised a scotsman reaches 70, with all of those fish suppers, pizza suppers, deep fried everything, iron bru and Tennants Super lager. Well played, good innings.

 

Haven't heard that in 40 years! Sounds a lot better than I remember. By the way, Alan Longmuir was not part of the group when this song was released (according to wiki).

 

I try to be nice to the bloke.............

 

I tried to find something decent with him in. Totally failed.

 

The Bay City Rollers had some killer tunes

Would it make a great punk cover? Yes
