Think he's come down with Lackofticketsaleitis.Seriously Pete Doherty has a better reputation for keeping gigs than Will and Les.Blimey :/Perhaps Derek Acorah can spirit them up .

isn't derek dealing with his car smash? bet he didn't see that coming!! :lol:
poltergeist probably did though...

is it some kind of joke as to how many times they can cancel shows? you have to give it to them though. they are still trying to push that old bison (with 50 arrows in it) along.

just saw this bit online. already trying to get a date for Jan and Les isn't even out of the hospital yet... you can't make that stuff up.

btw, DS, i saw Babyshambles at the O2 Liverpool a few years ago. they were amazing! some may not believe it but for that show, it was true. pete was swaying to and fro in the back area but when he went on - - - brilliant!! them AND lee mavers. no cancellation on that one.

poltergeist = cursed. that's what you get for playing with ouija boards or bad karma.

Always look on the bright side, at least it gave IBS a chance for yet ANOTHER moan, all for a bloody Ebay guitar. :laughing-smiley:

I hate to say I told you so but ... I told you so.Poltergeist has much artistic merit but as a commercial entity zero.Sad but true

And with Les being ill why the fuck is Will making him commit to gigs??Just so he can say to Mac their gig was better the night before? .Its fucking ridiculous .You know the Bunnymen will rehearse minus Mac and meet up at the soundcheck.Their relationship is at an all time low.i really think its time to put the band to rest.No new songs since 2007....and before you correct me the fountain was recorded in that year then delayed

DS, could be the 'itis' that you mentioned above. The show is rescheduled for Jan 24. Guess Les will be feeling better by then. They predict things as well as Derek Acorah!!

VB, get a life. You really have no idea. Btw, the guitar situation was mended, ten fold.

I apologise, couldn't resist. Go on then, spill, have you had someone knee-capped?

It must be said and I will do it. VB, you are a little bit of a saddo! Do you have a life outside of being a Bunnymen fan?

Knee capping? Is that popular in the woods that you come from?

No woods left around here I'm afraid, we had to burn them all to keep warm.
