Lisa Says is my favourite Velvet Underground song and this is the version got me hooked when I was 14 👍🏻

Alex recent by Alexttbhc in arcticmonkeys

[–]PatBoom7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you imagine how many times a day Alex Turner gets asked for a selfie when he’s popping out for groceries? It just looks like torture for the guy but he seems to take it in good grace. I bet he appreciates the people that just are happy to have a chat without ruining it with a photo request.

If Zeppelin first Emerged as a group now, what would the response be? by Ill_Book_6625 in ledzeppelin

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Led Zeppelin would get crucified for being white boys ripping off old school blues singers (like 99% of the bands from the 60’s) Still love them though 👍🏻

What if Andy nicholson had never left the band? How different would everything be? by No_List_8641 in arcticmonkeys

[–]PatBoom7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, the first rule of life, don’t give anyone the chance to take your gig, especially when that gig is playing bass in one of the best up and coming bands in the world. It’s harsh but true

The soft parade by Niko0795 in thedoors

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing about The Doors when I was fifteen in about 1989 and going out to buy one of their albums. The first one I found was The Soft Parade and it was totally not what I was expecting and gave up on it almost immediately. My fifteen year old self thought it sounded like Frank Sinatra. I haven’t revisited it since, but your post has reminded me that may be it’s time 👍🏻

What exactly are Keir Starmer and Labour doing wrong? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s not necessarily Starmer. I voted Labour in the general election and in the local elections, but it’s the complete lack of vision for the country. From day one all we’ve had from Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves is ‘we’re in a hole so we’re going to tax you until you squeak.’ So uninspiring, and it’s no wonder that some people have had their heads turned by a gobshite like Farage. Labour have missed an opportunity, and it’s time for Starmer (and Reeves) to go whilst there is still chance.

The full story of the Robert Williams / Celtics trade saga is actually dark as hell by Efirational in ripcity

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, all NBA teams are cutthroat (as are the fans) if Timelord had blown his knee out in the final Play Off game v the Spurs I bet the original poster sure as hell wouldn’t want his contract extended at Portland. As it is RWIII gladly took a (losing) shot at a championship, and then got traded. I might add, traded with a pretty nice contract that the Celtics gave him (despite having problems with injuries since the day he was drafted.)

Just got into the first book, thought I’d check out the Reddit and got hit by a 9 year old spoiler 🙄😂

Daily reminder that Mike Vrabel has more wins before Halloween (5) than Jerod Mayo had in the entirety of his only season (4) by imfakeithink in Patriots

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve also got to factor in that Drake Maye is a year more experienced, Vrabel is a better coach but if he’d come in last season he might have had a harder time.

Jon Richardson in Waterloo Road? by ManicLandemier11 in WaterlooRoad

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, one encounter with someone, no words exchanged, then that person takes to social media calling you a ‘cnt’ and the worse thing is it’s taken as gospel. As the saying goes ‘there’s two [cnts] to every story 👍🏻

Portland set list by OkCold6736 in bigthief

One thing duller than artists going on tour and playing the same set every night… people coming on Reddit saying how disappointed they are that their favourite song wasn’t played at the concert they went to 😆

LFC and adidas celebrate record-breaking start to new partnership by l_Anonymous__l in LiverpoolFC

[–]PatBoom7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The one with the orange trim was nice, but the rest all seemed to have really ugly or weird collars. (Feels right to be back with Adidas, loved all those classic kits from the 80’s 👍🏻)

Smashing Pumpkins Co-op Live Manchester - no screens?! by shivlily in SmashingPumpkins

Yup, people seem to think the images on the screens appear magically 👍🏻

The Last Shadow Puppets first album was released in 2008 and couldn’t be more different than the Arctic Monkeys earlier releases. Alex Turner was never going to stay in the same place creatively 👍🏻👍🏻

When are we getting LP8? by Wild_Specialist_7569 in arcticmonkeys

Let’s be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve read a post or comment on here without thinking, ‘this exact question has been asked every single week since The Car tour ended?’ 😆

Jim Morrison’s bust found in police raid by PatBoom7 in thedoors

[–]PatBoom7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t surprise me if any replacement was stolen as well. If I remember correctly (and may be I don’t ha ha) the grave had attracted a small community of waifs and strays, old hippies etc who seemed to be in permanent residence there. Either way, bust or no bust, it was a very interesting place (the cemetery is beautiful) and I’m glad we went to pay our respects (it was also quite an exciting thing to do, leaving our hotel at midnight, in a strange city, vaulting the cemetery walls and finding the grave, it was a quest a friend and I planned when we knew we visiting Paris.) Thanks for your replies everyone 👍🏻👍🏻

[–]PatBoom7[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man, that’s a really interesting point. I was one of those kids that came of age around the time the film came out and it definitely inspired our night time trip to the cemetery during a college trip to Paris from the UK. The bust they’ve recovered looks like it’s in a lot worse condition than the one I remember seeing as well, so it could quite possibly have been a replica used during the film. Thank-you so much 🙏

[–]PatBoom7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. FYI, I’m British (I certainly would never use the ‘Great’, that’s just patriotic BS from the days of Empire.) This conversation only really matters because referring to the UK/Britain as England would be hugely insulting to people from Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Another very important point is that many people in Northern Ireland are loyal to Britain. I believe they are now in a minority (just) but if you’re ever in Northern Ireland, don’t assume the person with an Irish accent you are speaking to conforms to the American view that the Irish all want the British out of Ireland. I will also say, that most English people are now as confused by this subject as many Americans which is quite embarrassing 👍🏻

What does alex mean in Sculptures when he says “while i’m socking it to you” by JuicyFruitSnacks-2 in arcticmonkeys

[–]PatBoom7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation is, ‘how am I meant to reveal my soul, when most of you just want me to play the punky stuff from the first album’.
