They're shizzle.

Neither soul or anything else and Cook's hatred of Hull means they deserve nothing but contempt.

I saw Paul Weller on expenses in a converted church hall in Amsterdam 1998 total value for money, worst I've got to say was Black Sabbath at the Ally Pally 1974 - they were eaten alive by their warm up band Stackridge who were sensational

Well I came on this board to chuckle at some of the meltdowns & spats but saw this instead.

Entertainment wise, The Stones have to be up there for me.

Musical Quality, I saw Bjork at Sheffield Arena a good few years ago, with just three old guys playing some Hurdy Gurdy’s or something, but it was amazing.

Worst by far, I promised to take my daughter who was about ten at the time, to the M.E.N. to see Avril Lavigne, God Awful.

But the biggest regret has to be, never seeing Zeppelin.

The sad thing for me now is, I no longer attend any concerts. I’m getting too old to be physically assaulted in the pit & too angry to stand behind someone filming it on a phone, as for sitting down I'd rather die.

You won't really get meltdowns and spats on here Squire because most of us who post go to games and have had to endure how awul we are all year.

Score flattered us today.

The best I've seen
The Clash, London Finsbury Park, RAR, 78 ish
The Ramones, Leeds uni 78
Sex Pistols, SPOTS tour, Aug bank holiday Scarborough, 77
Stiff little fingers, Leeds poly, the scariest yet most intense exciting atmosphere I've ever seen at a gig.
And my last, Rolling Stones, Glastonbury, 2012? I hate the Stones with a passion but my mates love em so just went along. What a loving voice Jagger has for an old guy! It was pi$$ing it down, and for the first 45 mins I was thinking, "I'm right they're cr@p". They then went into a best of hour, the hairs were up on the back of my neck, incredible set by a band I despised, strange innit?

.... but I've also enjoyed some smaller gigs including Kasabian at Brid spa...

Saw them there in 2013, it was a brilliant gig. Just bagged tickets for later this month when they are coming back to Brid again. Possibly my favourite mid-sized venue.

Best was the first top act I saw. 15 years old just started work & a collegue was lead singer in a locall band, got asked to help with thier gear as it had to be lugged to the top of the Co Op in town (Skyline ballroom) Top act Jimi Hendrix, even met him after the show & got his autograph, Wish I could find it now. I dont recall but I would ave seen robert Plamer as well that night (with the mandrakes).
Worst Billy J Kramer at a do in Walkington he was awfull but saw him a a show thirty years later & he had learned a bit by then & was great.

That place brings back some memories though it was called Baileys and then Romeos by the time I was frequenting them almost every weekend.
They actually had some decent well known bands on in there during the seventies and early eighties.
I also remember seeing the glitter band, haha, perform at another well know disco in Hull at the time..... Tiffany's, later known as LA.
Best bands on my travels would have to be... The Sweet, Queen, and Slade, all during the seventies and eighties, the former almost deafening me with their loud music, Slade have to be one of the loudest bands I've personally ever listened to live.
I cant really think of a bad one, unless I include one or two lesser known bands that sometimes played in East park during the festivals they had a few years back.
One of my regrets in life is not seeing Bowie live, during the time he played with Hulls brilliant guitarist ...Mick Ronson (spiders from Mars) even though I was still a teenager at the time, Good days.
