The Pajo lineup was inspired but I think I’m a pass on this one.

I saw Gang of Four about a decade ago, and it was probably the most awkward show I'd seen. It was at the Metro. Watching Jon King in his buttoned-down shirt with his leathery skin was creepy. Thankfully, Dave Allen was not in the band, it was some younger guy. He seemed to know when to leave things...

The mighty Les Binks of Judas Priest. He played on Stained Class, Killing Machine and Unleashed in the East. Easily their best drummer (until Scott Travis).

I'd rather be throwing darts.

Glad I got to see the original-ish line up years ago.
RIP.

Edit. It was the original line up.

Bummer. I also saw the original line-up earlier that year at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and they were pretty incendiary.

Also heard a live set on BBC6 Music by the line-up that had Andy Gill as the only original member and it just sounded ... wrong. Tight, but wrong.

Could have sworn I read somewhere recently that Jon King was about to do some shows with yet another line-up, but my memory could be at fault there.

Pajo did the last tour (I missed it, but would've gone) and Ted Leo is on this one - I guess I can see that working? I might go just because....

This came on randomly last night and I thought I'd seen most of the whistle test stuff worth seeing, but I hadn't seen this before and it rules.

LOL

As a recovering Catholic, I have somewhat mixed feelings. Not sure if I could ever go so far as to say that I'll miss a Pope, but let's just say that it's likely that the next one will be worse.

Remember, the one before was pretty terrible!

Vance did it.

VP Shillbilly definitely sucked out his soul.

The one thing that just might inspire me to go and see them again would be if they brought in Mike Watt to play bass.
