agree, sad day.
lets hope they can stay mates. band split like a divorce starts all nice but can turn nasty!!! we have probably all been there!!
on the other hand, met up with an old mate from the 1st band i was in that made my day...
come on lads, keep on rockin...

@ Stuart - you beat me to it, was just thinking that myself.

I've just rang the rest of the 45's to make sure we're still a band, LOL,

Rick.

roj will be back soon, no doubt

that's just life innit.. old Boethius and his wheel and all that

'Inconsistency is my very essence,' says the wheel. 'Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths. Good times pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it is also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away'

:)

tonight Ryan and I are having a jam with a singer/guitarist/songwriter from a fairly well known Burnley (originals) band who recently called it a day - if it all gels it could be terrific

fingers crossed!

I once read a stat that said the formula for the longevity of a band was, on average, either 3 gigs or 18 months. Obviously, some of us on here have been around for a long time. But even LGIT had to replace our departing drummer after aprox 18 months.....
For every band that splits another one is formed, all wiser for the experience. I've been in quite a few bands down the years and I'm always gutted when one breaks up, but I always find or form another.
Such is life.....hope everyone finds the perfect band for themselves like I did.....rock on.

Boethius Fookin wheel....???!!!
Didn't know you was a bible basher mate....
Anyway, wasn't that story the last of it's kind to be called a 'Classic'.....

Who can remember that line from the Commitments film when the band broke up?

“ Success would have been predictable, this way it’s poetry “

pmsl,

Rick.

I prefer the bit when Joey says he'd been sent by the Lord....and the dad replies ''what, on a fuckin Suzuki''...'Classic'

Gary,

i'm not into the bible but I like a bit of philosophy :)

even the famous philosopher Bruce Dickinson said "life is like a wheel... "

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

The Commitments - the best musical ever (even better than The Wall).

Best line from the Commitments - when one of the backing singers (the less attractive one) repels Andrew Strong's advances with the line 'F*** off ya f****** fat f***!'
Poetry.
