hello

TotalWar

you may or may not remember me.

anyway I wanted to post a photo I found tonight.

TotalWar

guess who

TotalWar

If you don't know who the lady and gent are in the band t-shirts then you must be a "noobie"  ha ha

Lixarto

Hullo!

TotalWar

hows it going Zap

Just found this place after checking musicradar site. that pic must be 8-9 years old I guess.

 I was just hinking yesterday that it must be 10 years almost exactly since the first northern Gas. happy memories

 

TotalWar

when I say hinking, I mean thinking

WYNIR0

Well Hello. Glad to see you found us.

viz

All right. Nice to see RB again- what's she up to these days I wonder?

Lixarto

Goodness, how time passes!

("You are young and Life is long and time is getting short" as a lyric I've just written has it)

Ten years since the first NGas - happy days indeed. Goodness, I'm old.

TotalWar

that sounds like a lyric I could sing Mike.

I do miss the times of my friends on intermusic, now there was a proper community. such good people, you, Nick, trell, RB, grover, goji, krash, honeytone, fergie, stance, jase, bezzer, dennis, filthy, huw, vibe, etc. no ego's, just friendship and support, great days.

 

Lixarto

I'm not sure about this place here and now, but you're right, that was a proper community that you couldn't explain by saying "I'm on this forum on the internet ..."

I hope there's some of that spirit still here, but not many of the people you mention. Sadly. (Other forumites are available. They are not necessarily shite)

And that lyric is from the new one, "14 Kisses", and it strikes me now is partially a Pink Floyd quote ("Time", I think). Hmm.

TotalWar

I hear you.

if you've got any music, I would love to hear it. I have no idea whether you are in a band. anyway, upload/download it. can you pm on this forum?

it has been said, by others, that my singing is vastly better than it was previously..I have a suspicion that is called progress.

 

 

Lixarto

I shall send you a message.

Hello John, good to see you back again - you  won't remember me but I certainly remember you... That is a great pic of you and Zap and RB!

I was at the (last?) Northern Gas gig in Middlesbrough - Zap, you might remember I did "Substitute" and *Oliver's Army" that night.  

Happy days indeed!

Cheers,

Al. 

Lixarto

I remember - I ended up with your crib sheet for "Oliver's Army"

Happy times indeed.

Nitefly

Aha - I wondered where it went!  Some good chords in there, yes?   

Lixarto

Some real fancy chords. You some kinda jazz guy?

Nitefly

Well, if that's what it takes!  

It wasn't really weird inversions, but there were some pretty slick changes around the middle eight:

"Hong Kong is up for grabs" 

Lixarto

I'm only teasing. Doesn't Chuck say something along those lines to Keith after "I'm Through With Love"?

Which is a Marilyn song I think? Wow.

bertie

Hello  John mate................ good to "see you"

That spirit is definitely still here today, just different people, and the differences in opinion do seem a tad more violent shall we say, but the support and friendship is there also. It would be nice to have some more blasts from the past join though; Mr. Totalwar's list brings back many memories!
