In all seriousness....

General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

With all DUE respect, I don't think so.

One of us has seen Pete play live, has been listening to Porcupine for more than a year, and has more than two gigs under his belt. In none of those cases is that person you. Maybe you're the Bunnymen expert when you're talking to blackfrancis, but you're out of your league with me, son.

Letterman and Leno and O'Brien are part of the promotion machine for Hollywood. Appearances are made to promote whatever. Or if the performer is currently bg in the tabloids.

When I was in the studio audience, I was stunned by how even more not funny Letterman is in person than he is on television.

What are you bringing me into this for Mr. Bunnywunnypert?
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

When Jr. takes a swing at Daddy in front of other people, everybody gets hurt.

I saw Pete play live in 1987. New Order opened for them. I've seen the Bunnymen live more than two times and had a cassette version of Porcupine in 1986.

More importantly, simply stating the band has done ok with drummers after the two videos posted back to back show how downright boring the drummers for hire are and leave so much lacking shows you really don't know what you are talking about.

Let it go, grandpa. Sometimes you are wrong. This is one of those times.

Listen punk, I crap bigger than you.** Simon Finley is an AWESOME drummer. So actually, the band have done BETTER than okay drummer-wise. Are you sure you know good drumming when you hear it?

You saw Pete in 87? How old were you? 1? In your mother's womb? And I didn't say you didn't HAVE Porcupine, I said you didn't listen to it.
