Crook F.C., Saturday 29th March 2008. Basically hometown for Chris and Tom (me and Woody had our turn at Shamrox last week) and it was a great night. Dancing, birthday girl and friends got down on the floor midway through the first set and gave us the sort of stuff we’re used to. People having […]
Break On Through (November 2001)
Weiland was invited to perform on the show VH1 Storytellers with the surviving members of The Doors. Weiland did vocals on two Doors songs, Break on Through (To the Other Side) and Five To One. That same month Stone Temple Pilots appeared on The Doors tribute CD, Stoned Immaculate with their […]
During Velvet Revolver’s show on Thursday 20th March 2008 in Glasgow, Scotland, frontman Scott Weiland made a rather peculiar and unexpected announcement, one that stirred considerable debate among VR fans all weekend. According to several media and fan accounts, Weiland told the sold-out crowd that they were “watching something special … the last tour by […]
Shamrox, Durham City, on Saturday 22nd March 2008. This was a gig we were really looking forward to and what a blinder of a gig it was! We ain’t played there since 18th December 2004, when it was known as O’Neils, but it felt like “coming home”, to me and Woody anyway, we’ve played there […]

Wednesday 19th March 2008. In the afternoon, bassist Duff held a signing session at GuitarGuitar prior to an awesome gig at The Carling Academy. Having spent the last two years blasting STP and VR it was kinda surreal to see them walk on stage. Scott emerged sporting beard and shades and coated and scarfed up […]
The Carling Academy, Newcastle, Friday 7th March 2008. “Now the light fades out and I wonder what I’m doing in a room like this”. Fantastic gig! First time for me as a Numanoid. Have plenty of his early stuff but never got round to seeing him. Great light show and when was the last time […]
Ziggy Stardust (October 1982)
The first Bauhaus album in 25 years, Go Away White, is released today, 3rd March 2008.
Recorded in 18 days, some tracks in one take, Bauhaus’ fifth studio album proves that even a quarter-century’s hiatus can’t kill a great band, especially if it was undead to begin with. It picks up right […]
