Oooffff. Each to their own I suppose. The Mondays were/are a great band. When on top form and not smashed on drugs their live performances are superb. Which is more often nowadays.Quote:

Plenty of bangers in the back catalogue. WFL, 24 Hour Party People and the overlooked Stinkin Thinkin.
Black Grape continue the fine work too. The firat album was fantastic as was the last one that they released.
Black Grape played Merthyr Rising last year. They were decent but prefer the Monday’s.Quote:

Pop Voodoo is a great album. Got lots going on in it.Quote:

The Monday’s live were either brilliant or a ****ing mess. I think they’re actually underrated due to their notoriety and propensity for gargling drugs.
I like the way the riff to kinky afro dominates the songQuote:

Their last album , produced by tina Weymouth of talking heads was a disaster . They went to the west indies to record it and as soon as they got there bez and Ryder got stuck into the crack cocaine .Quote:

It's right up there to be fairQuote:

The trouble was once they were fitted up with all the gear they were so slow moving they were scrapped . Cost the city millions .
Really sad to see how much they have both aged , yes I think they were still with FACTORYQuote:

Reading an article about Ryder the other day, even though he had to file for bankruptcy he still paid back every penny of his debts otherwise he would have lost all the royalties to his music.
It’s only now he’s done a bit of reality TV workthis last decade that he’s making decent money again.
Interesting fella, enjoy listening to him, refreshingly honest.
I have. Funnily enough very recently, the wife must've bought me the DVD years ago and I watched it since lockdown began.Quote:

Wilson dropped a couple of bollocks mind group wise.
I like Ryder, he's very observant and sharp with his opinions. He's a great story teller too. Black Grapes Pop Voodoo is Laden with them.Quote:

Their first album is very underrated and seldom heard. Squirrel and gman 24 hr party people etc. Some lovely lazy groove guitar. Produced by John Cale.
Tart Tart is one of my favourite Monday's tunes, that guitar intro is groovy as feck :music:
Love'em, incredible band.
Great shout 'Tart Tart'.Quote:
