Great Support Bands

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Clutch supporting Motorhead , Cardiff

Clutch are a fantastic band

Motorhead were very loud as usual but Clutch took em to the cleaners

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Yes saw it and agree

Motorhead were poor that night , never the same after fast Eddie left

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Did you know that he was in a crap boy band from Glasgow called Slik in the mid 70s?

Lizzy by the time midge ure was in the ranks were done

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Happy Mondays supported James at the Ritz in Mcr. God knows when. The place was rocking for the Mondays . Great gig.

1989

[Mr Soul '68]

By far the best support band I have ever seen was Hanoi Rocks supporting Johnny Thunder, New Ocean Club, Cardiff in October '84. Awesome band who would have made it mega big if it wasn't for the fact that numpty Vince Neil of Mutley Crud drunk drove and killed the bands drummer Razzle in a car crash.

[Brisbane CCFC]

I’m jealous. I bet Ozzy was great in his prime.

[Bobby Dandruff]

I went to that gig too. At the time, I couldn't understand all the fuss about UB40. I thought they were boring.

I think that was the first time I went to the Top Rank. Still only 14.

But there wasn’t any fuss about them as they were unknowns at the time, not having had any chart success (or releases in fact) :-/

(I don’t like reggae either but I remember them only because it was my first gig I suspect)
