I see Elton John is booked i dont know about you Phill but he will do for me .The first LP i bought of his was Tumbleweed Connection the young uns might not be so happy but there will be plenty of time for the artists they like to come to the venue.

You've got to wonder if Oasis or the High Flying Birds would ever have happened if it wasn't for the Beatles, haven't you..? I think we're meant to be honoured that Elton John is playing the opening gig at the arena, but he wouldn't have been my choice and certainly not at £65 a ticket! Still, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, as they say.PS - phill, I might have known we'd trace the crash back to you somehow....

Two sentences there that sum things up perfectly for me Phill Phill_dvsn wrote: I mean as in musical bands, not manufactured boy bands, that's not music.... ....It's a dying industry, killed off by the likes of Stock, Aitken, Waterman, who probably did more damage to the music industry than anyone else... My eldest daughter is fast approaching 25 years old and when I go to her house she often has contemparary music playing and moans at me when I tell her to turn that noise off.She argues with me that it is modern "music" but fails to understand when I try and explain its not music but computer generated noise, It might have a beat and consist of different musical sounds ( most of the time ) but to create music you have to use musical instruments, anything else created on any other medium is just noise.Strangely enough I walked in the other day to find her listening to a 70's compilation disc, perhaps there's hope for her yet lol

One of my daughters has a Led Zeppelin t-shirt, and thinks it's the coolest thing! It must be the latest youth culture rebellion - being not down with the kids at 21!

My Thin Lizzy T shirt from 1976 is still alive and kicking....think i'd have a bit of bother squeezing into it now though.

JLS 2013...................!!!!!!!!!!!!I can hardly wait.Thousands of screaming women & teenage gurls (our wives and daugters included).While me and a mate enjoy a civilized soiree round Leeds. We even get a pass out and brownie points for dropping them off.My diary is filling up early.

Artists like that being JLS?! I note they are booked for the Arena also in Sept.Suppose the concert sec. has to start somewhere! Might as well start at the bottom and work up!
