gutted. at the last night at brixton hooky threw his drum sticks into the crowd where i was (front row at the right) they hit my hand & bounced out to be handed to some tall bloke with long arms stood next to me by a bouncer.
anybody else nearly got a great souvenir of a gig?

I'm a bit worried my stories sound far fetched(I think it's the, 'where you really replies'), but I can honestly say I think I've told the truth on here the whole time.Anyway the story goes...my girlfriend long beore I met her, back in the Eighties, went to see Limahl, him with the big wig, she and a friend snuck onto his tour bus and had it off with a pair of his trousers(apparantly there was something special about them can't remember that bit)anyway needless to say he'd only packed one pair of trousers and when he awoke that evening and found them missing he had to perform that night in his undies...o.k. that last bit was slighlty stretching the truth.
Originally posted by Huntsman Just remind me Shimmering, which bits of that story were true?
I may have got the undies bit confused with that guy of 'The Hitman and Her'

Hehehehe
Bunnymen's Pete de Freitas threw his sticks at us the crowd, they fell into the floor right next to me but I was too shy (or too stupid) to actually pick them up. Next thing I knew someone had already grabbed them. It was May 1984 and I'll never forget it.
I stood about 7 feet away from Madonna with my best pal and he got so excited he started 'moo'ing' like a member of the cow family. Surrounding members of the public stood in awe, and it wasn't at big M ... who looked extra special that particular evening inside Wembley Stadium. I'd never heard my pal moo before, it was a beautiful moment.
Although she never asked us to dine with her at the post-match gig and we never actually claimed any artifact she may or may not have thrown out towards our general direction we did thoroughly enjoy the evening and the experience to see one of the world's top stars in her prime (around 1991).

Certainly NOT her success! Since when sales figures count for artistic endeavour?

George I haven't the energy to battle this one out. She is popular, that does not mean she hasn't written good material and shaped certain aspects of pop music. I'm not her biggest fan, but I do like the odd tune.
Kate Bush, however, I adore.

There are a lot of words you could use to describe Madonna -I don't think bimbo is one of them.....

Just cos he put the ball in the net against ENGLAND in '86.......WHAT?:D
in december of 1986, in pittsburgh, barney handed me one of his guitar pics. I STILL HAVE IT!
that was when Gillian played the guitar and keyboards for the band.
I left 4 setlists on a plane between Perth and Bangkok earlier this year. I purposely didn't put 'em in my suitcase so as to 'keep them safe'. Doh!
Fuck me - this is an old one - I've actually got a drumsick from the last night of Brixton Hibster
But it wasnae one that Hooky threw into the crowd, got one of the stewards to jump on stage and grab me one, Lorraine managed to grab one of the one's that Hooky threw though!

That is very very very funny.
Made my night. 
Brix Smith of The Fall danced as my hands went round her legs at The Astoria, Laandan.
Great girl. 
At the end of the night, she gave me her plectrum and kissed my hand lovingly.
Nearly died .........swoon.......

*sigh* very nice tale,Jim, I'm a bit jealous now! 
Only time I saw The Fall with Brix, I was treated to the sight of her on her back flailing her legs in faux-metal histronics while wearing a short skirt. Mark looked nonplussed, while Scanlon and Hanley kept the whole song together (sorry, I can't remember what that was)!
Ah, Miss Brix... Did you know I bought Adult Net's LP just for THAT cover (the actual record stinks, by the way...)? That was 1989, what a year!
I also have a Brix plectrum, and have had a pint with her (Nigel gobshite Kennedy wasn't impressed).
Also have a Bob Mould plectrum, which is of infinitely more value than the B.E.S one !!
Originally posted by HOOKYS WALLET i was once lucky enough to find 4 setlists that had been left on a plane
Have to agree with yr assessment of the Adult Net LP,Jorge, both w/the cover and music, though I do like the single of Waking Up In The Sun, and her version of Where Were You When I Needed You beats the Bangles version by a wide mile.
I got Barneys guitar pick and the set list from a 1987 gig at the Galaxy Club in Auckland, N.Z. Didn't have to fight for them. Barney was literally feet in my face and spat his pick on the floor at the end of the gig. Just had to pick it up along with the set list attached to the monitor.
