Today I'm happy about......

[CrazyHorse]

Fckin £60 a ticket though!

£55 innit? But how much did you pay to watch Megson strap five across midfield, at home, against Hull, Blackburn, Fulham et al.

Fookin' bargain, Buddy Boy

Aye, £55 plus a fiver rip-off tax.
You do make for a pretty convincing argument; it's a no brainer when you put it like that.

We're talking the Stone Roses here. Would've been worse if we were talking James though.

Now I don't have anything major against the Stone Roses, I even like a couple of their songs, but lets be honest, sixty quid for a band that managed to knock out two albums is taking the piss.

If they played everything that's ever appeared on an album, they'd just about get 2 hours out of it, by extending some guitar riffs (or in the case of their second album, some silence)

I think Blackburn at home was a tenner and I think Fulham at home was likewise AND kids for a quid.

Wash your mouth out!

I do agree its total rip off. They are all at it though. Doesn't make it any better but its the price you expect to pay now.

They didn't all manage to knock out just two albums. If James tour and charge £60 at least they've got a decent volume of stuff to pick from (although there is a philosphical question as to whether (10 * absolute shite >= 2 * albums with a couple of half decent songs on them)).

"oh, sit down next to me..."

Thanks! Gonna have James in my head all day now...

[Beefheart]

I can easily justify it since I paid 60 quid to watch the semi-final....I haven't got through yet but my mate has some and I've been promised a ticket. Wooooo.

I think quality over quantity is apposite here. I have a good few James albums each containg about three decent tracks. Stone Roses first album is widely acknowledged to be one of the finest debut albums of all time, and the second got panned for sounding too much like Led Zep. I'd like to see how it's detractors might get on trying to play like Led Zep.

I like the second album, and there are a fair few very good tracks that aren't on either. Mersey Paradise, Elephant Stone, What the World is Waiting for etc.
