Robbie on C4 — Forum Archive

Any UK viewers catch Nicole's better half in concert in Koln on Channel 4 last night?

Quite an impressive performance, despite the fact C4 edited out the "She's The HUN" renditions for audience "She's the one" sing-a-longs, and bleeped out his finer, more offensive moments.

Anyways, can you believe, that was the gig NEW ORDER supported him at in the summer!! See how many people were there? A good 55k. Probs the biggest gig the Order have ever done. And first time I've ever seen the band from a bloody mile back too, such was security...

Still, a good day out all in all.. Just a shame Hooky insisted on that Gap Kids hooded top again!

Funnily enough I did catch a bit of it - while I was at the snooker hall - me mate didn't believe me when I told him New Order supported Nobby - and BTW I have a habit of singing "She's a Hun" at work - always aimed in the direction of the ugly people;) :lol:

Being there, it didn't seem 'all that', but watching it on C4 last night it looked like Bloody Live Aid or something!

No wonder it took so bloody long to get out of the stadium.

Playing to 60,000+ people in wonderful German sunshine?

"Really reached a low-point"?!

I quite like the guy actually, he's taken the piss out of everyone for a long time and made a mint doing it !

Allan,

You who are very good at coming up with pictures on this message board, could you, for the benefit of us non-British or non-native english speakers, come up with a picture of a HOODED TOP SHIRT ? I've been wondering for months what it is!!!!!

I'll see what I can dig out when I'm at home. It's what Hooky's wearing on Crystal / TOTP though, if you've seen a vid of that. Gets incredibly sweaty in it, very quickly though, and looks like a Jawa (was it?) from Star Wars when he sticks the hood up.

Great concept - Hooky as Jawa !!! :D

Star Wars with New Order? Hmm, Barney could probably be Jabba the Hutt by now (he-he! Laughing at fat people is easy and cruel!), while Tony Wilson could be Darth. Yes I see it now :idea:

...i'd rather say Hooky looks like good old Chewbacca... :D

I can picture it....Green Greedo and all those !

Maybe Steve could be Boba fett or something...all this Star Wars talk reminds me of the *horrible* Star Wars Holiday Special. Not going to go into detail, but suffice it to say the Seventies were an awful time based on viewing that piece of crap :\puke:

That Robbie Williams concert was on Dutch TV yesterday. I managed to watch it for a few minutes just to see what it was like there. What a huge stadium; all these young girls there having to listen to Barney talking about 'Bavarian mountains' and 'Naked sauna's' ; that's hilarious :laugh:

Sadly I can beat that one. Had to explain to someone once that LWTUA wasn't a fucking Paul Young song !!! :violent:
