I thought it was just me. I was with the wife who is Bunnymen Virgin, even she thought their hearts were not in it.

I feel so sorry for Will The othere are hiered hand and they know it, but how must Will feel when he sees somthing he help create slowy wither and die.

My advice catch this tour for many reasons i think it could be there last

Not convinced that Nick, Ste, Gordy, Jez and Will, will put up with it much longer.

Saw all of them before the gig and they are usually quite chatty and friendly. This time they were polite but were not intrested.

These are troubled times, quite sad really

The only reason this is called a Bunnymen album is so that Mac can sell more units.


Even if it is a Mac album, Will still gets a cut of it so he is lucky (?) in some respects. Unlucky in many others.
Add on the tour money if they can actually do the shows. As you say though, they've been letting it slide for so long now. Will it finally be the breaking point?
It's also rotten when you take a partner and are hoping for a great night out then the entertainment is kind of weird. Add in the cost of tickets and a night out, drinks, dinner. Not cheap.

will's maybe fed up cos someones making him wear harry cross's glasses. I htought it was OK even though I missed a the start (they were playing my kingdom as we walked in) and it ended early. Mrs FC commented that she thought his voice sounded good - and she doesn't usually hide disappointment well so i guess it must have been true. Bit raspy but he hit the notes OK. Thought that constantinople had a good vibe going but not sure about the words. Question for smiffy and/or any other equipment heads (is that the phrase). Cant remember which song, but towards the end, but was gordy playing that guitar of will's that he uses in i want to be there video?

they do - disco dancing to the hits of yesteryear and today - and it used to be that you could hang around for it but htse days they seem to shove you out of the door as soon as the gig's over. Or maybe its just me they like to get rid of.

Love this place sometimes......

The band have played 4 concerts on this tour, 3 have received great reviews in the main but one show receives mixed reviews probably due to Mac's throat problems.... So what happens on here, the usual voices of doom say it's the end the bands shit, Mac's a total chunt the sky is gonna crash down and wipe us out......

Always cheers me up on here... :lol:

Liverpool didn't win the league and now the bunnymen concerts are being cancelled, one by one. How do you expect us to be happy? The bloody sky is crashing down...... :wink:

Jimbo .trust me it was weird .good but weird.Perhaps if you'd travelled too you'd understand

FC - Gordy played an Eastwood 12 string which Will used to play Pictures on during the Heaven up here crocs tour.Gordy played it on Lovers

everyone ...some of the songs were Brillant and Mac tried his best .BUT at one point he really looked like losing it .Add in the mix Devlin love and his young daughter dancing by the side of the stage and him singing during Wild Side "candy and mimi always turning heads " it was just an awkward night for band and audience alike .
