Def Leppard

Ooh ooh!

 

Think it were 79 when they played at Reform Mano, they played there twice also played a couple of times at Wuzbro Dale club.

Saw Be Bop Deluxe at Reform anall.

 

I think it is if you have the original pressing

 

I saw Saxon at Wath Montgomery Hall, they were called Son Of A Bitch at the time...can't remember year...late 70's?

 

probably early to mid 70's,i know a couple of members quite well and they'd finished by 76ish and that's about the time saxon were formed from members from SOB and Coast.

 

No, they started out as Son of a Bitch in 76 after two bands SOB and Coast merged, they changed to Saxon a couple of years later and released their first album in 1979.

 

SHIIITE ... NWOBHM is shiiite , but they are a poodle permed sheffield sell out of the crappest genre ever.

 

Oh Fook Off!

 

I thought you were on about the original SOB.

 

No mate, but I admit I had to Check The Saxon747 website to be sure..As Saxon they were brilliant for quite a few years.

 

OK fair enough...

You love music.

That puts you better than 85 percent of the population.

Just don't get that stuff.

I'm a soul & reggae man, but like RATM, Motorhead, Metallica (in places) & Black Sabbath. I also like Mogwai who are fairly "heavy".

 

I've just emailed graham oliver to find out,graham is a good friend as is Steve firth,both of them played together in the original incarnation of SOB..I've been fortunate to play alongside graham a few times at charity do's and I used to dep with one of steves bands a few years ago.

 

I like loads of different stuff, Rock is part of it....I'm not bothered about RATM but I like the work Tom Morello's done with Springsteen.

Oh by the way, the "Oh FOOK OFF", was a friendly Fook Off like mates would say over a pint...maybe....luv ya JP....That hattrick against Scunny!

 

He used to go in The Boy and Barrel down Mexbro back in the day.

 

I used to drink with him in the eighties at the Ferryboat,that was the regular spot if he wasn't away touring,in fact most people from Mexborough area who played in bands seemed to sup in the ferry,i don't even know if its still open its been that long since last time I was in.

 

did you see Blodwyn pig at the mont?

 

As was my "OK fair enough" .... at the end of the day I try & keep an open mind & if I'm DJing to a crowd that want Def Leppard I will play it .... just in my world I don't get that era of rock... at the time on the US front I was listening to the Ramones, R.E.M. , Pere Ubu, The Minutemen, Husker Du & Bob Dylan (I appreciate the last is unrelated)...

 

Cant remember, I was a teenager just "learning" to take my drink...I went to gigs and Football matches that I can't remember much about...remember a band called White Spirit at the Reform....Oh the Ferry and the George are still there but I haven't been in either for over 25 years....

 

the blodwyn pig gig was in the early nineties when the local blues scene had really picked up,they had some good bands on during that time.I remember White Spirit,in fact I'm sure they supported saxon on one of their tours.
Reform was the first club I was ever an affiliated member of,i still have my cards and the original wallet.

 

johnny,did you used to get in the reform regularly?
