I’m sure you will correct me if i’m incorrect ... but my post highlighted a time when kids could seriously identify with the bands who were high profile at the time - and that was because we knew that they were the same age as us and they had grafted so, so hard to get a record deal - they had rehearsed in their Dad’s garage with their mates and then when they were confident enough they took their songs all over the UK, playing five, six, seven nights a week at horrendous venues just hoping to get spotted. They worked harder than any X-Factor winner who wouldn’t know the first thing about honest graft or how to pick up a guitar and learn how to play it from scratch - we loved our heroes because they were just like us - they didn’t get flown out to a Simon Cowell mansion, somewhere exotic to practice an horrendous bubble gum pop song cover version to perform in front of brain dead couch potatoes on a Saturday night ready to vote by pressing the red button .... our heroes were real ... and a great example, like him or love him, is Bryan Adams - his band has been together since they were 14 years old, practising in his Dad’s old barn in the ‘70s and early ‘80s and making it to the top ... proper blokes, proper musicians - and the same goes to legends like The Jam, The Specials, The Clash etc, etc, etc .... I can understand somewhat why you are ‘confused’ but our heroes were real, not manufactured and pampered, and the reality they displayed through their playing and lyrics made us pay homage to them at a time when their outpourings were so refreshing and honest. I get the impression your heroes will be forgotten in a matter of years, whereas ours will live forever ... hectic, heady days ... they were just awesome ... You talk about your youth with great passion, and they were indeed great days. I suspect the confused emojis that your original post got was due to the fact that you have fallen into the classic pitfall of "Bloody kids, not like it was back in my day" that seems to happen to a lot of people as they get older. Don't forget that your parents generation thought exactly the same of you. You also seem to have forgotten that there was an awful lof of manufactured pop in the sixties and seventies as well, it's just that you were a little more discerning in your musical tastes. It's exactly the same now, plenty of 'proper' bands out there that have followings, just that the media these days makes it harder for them to get mainstream exposure than it ever was. There is also a wider variety of different styles and genres than there was. Edited January 16, 2021 by richwwtk 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Some people on this post need to be diverted to a facebook group called "Bristol pubs and clubs of the 60's 70's and 80's. I can highly recommend it for a nostalgic trip back in time, with lot's of references to music, pubs, clubs, fashions, fights. All the stuff you'd expect from the title.

I'll give you the Locarno's starry ceiling was a thing of beauty but never had time much to look at it given the requirement to constantly scan for thuggish bouncers who took delight in bouncing folks down the concrete stairs......for no reason whatsoever..... Kings I wouldn't know (never had the guts or Mac to go in) - more an Arts Centre or Arnolfini flicks watcher, me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
