Catch joke with tourists in NZ was asking if they had any kiwi in them... 'No? - Would you like some?'

That was Phil Lynott's line at a live Thin Lizzy concert...
Has anyone here got a bit of Irish in them?

Man, haven't heard of them in a while! How was the concert?

Brilliant, so much energy.
We saw the 'new Thin Lizzy' playing here in Plymouth a couple of years ago. Gorman's still good but, without Lynott it wasn't quite the same.

Their live album is phenomenal.

Good stuff, though (re the later concert) never is the same John... like The Doors without Jim Morrison, or AC/DC without Bon Scott... missing that voice that gave the group it's character.

Very true. The Who, much as I love them, is not the same after Moon and then Entwhistle died.

Yes, I agree Dave, I had tickets to the 1979 Knebworth where the full LZ were playing.
I didn't go as I was offered a lucrative bonus for some work... 'oh well, there is always next time' I thought.
But there wasn't...

Saw The Who "Farewell Tour" in Vancouver BC back in the late 1980s or 1990s. This was the same tour where Townshend famously impaled his hand on his whammy bar. I thought I was a diehard Who fan. Apparently, I'm not. That show sucked bigtime. Poor performance and sounded terrible.

Who's Last was not their best. Townshend had all but given up.
I could never understand why these people cannot leave on a high note rather than have to do one more tour when they dont want too....
Pity that that concert is your memory of the 'orrible 'oo Matt.

The same could be said for W. 'Axle' Rose's GnR during 'the Bucket head years' when Dizzy, Duff, Slash and Reid went became Velvet Revolver with that Stone Roses guy IIRC. When Axles GnR did the MTV awards, he was so big he couldn't sing and run around the stage or remember the words while being out of breath.
Thanks to a politically incorrect deity of rock metal that Snakes and Barrels are apparently working on a new album after their last one, Chinese Democracy.

As an old die hard fan of the band GNR (only second to Metallica for me). I was so disappointed in that train wreck. I waited for over 15 years for the next GNR album only to have that **** force fed down me. The music itself was not bad, it was just not worth the wait. Besides the band will never be GNR with Slash and the rest of the band. I refuse to call it Guns N Roses. I call it "Axl and his Backing Band".
I am still holding out hope that there will someday be a reunion. I was fortunate enough to see GNR (the real GNR) together with Metallica and Faith No More.

Man that must have been something Chris! I don't know what G'n'R are at, they lost me with the Use your illusion albums already... Lies and Appetite are still classics though and always will be!
I loved the Illusion albums. Different from Lies and Appetite, but they were still good rock albums and very well produced.
