What a load of ******* shoite. They ought to have given up when Cornwell left. They're just an anachronism and an embarrassment now.

Will never come close to the first 3 albums thats for sure , And I haven't even listened to it , For me it simply won't have the nostalgia behind it . And to some extent I agree with Bubba , although not as strongly. Truth be known they will never be the band they once was. 
Personally I thought Bubba's band was almost as good as his T Rex head

That band never "tried to copy them". No-one tried to look like the band or take on stupid corny fake names - it was purely for the music.
Even when I was in it, there was nothing in the set newer than 1980. Can you hazard a guess as to why that might be?

Yeah JJ going soft in his old age , I've seen him get people like that on stage debag and slap their **** in full view of everyone .
And to prove Bubba's point , I see the setlist for this tour is made up of songs mainly from the new album and the first four albums and that's from a total of 17 studio albums.

Two pieces of factual information:
That band never "tried to copy them". No-one tried to look like the band or take on stupid corny fake names - it was purely for the music.
Even when I was in it, there was nothing in the set newer than 1980. Can you hazard a guess as to why that might be?
