Electrafixion, unfairly neglected?

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.

Yes but you just "got it" three years ago.

He's referring to Porcupine the ride. A short lived attraction at Knott's Berry Farm based on the early music of the Bunnymen. Being the Grey album hadn't been released yet, the ride didn't fare well in the states and was soon shut down.

Thanks for the welcome back FHG. I guess you could call it vacation.

That was great. I'm still laughing at the possibilities of a Bunnymen theme park and the rides. Some of them would make us want more of Will's idea's I suppose. Would you get on a ride called "Happy Death Men" or "Rust"? :lol:

Characters would roam the park - including The Fish Hook Girl and the Man with the Necrophelia (and his boxes full of hair)

On the Midway you have attractions such as "Catch the Falling Star! It cuts your hands to PIECES!!! 2 Tries for $1.00"

Good gawd!!! Has it been 13 years already!! The album was good, they were even better live. I haven't seen that much fire from them (not including the original lineup) since then.

Wasn't it the cover for 'Of Mice and Men' at one time? Read it a couple of weeks ago as it's going to be in my son's GCSE syllabus, good book.
