The Jesus And Mary Chain - Barras Tonight


Recommended Posts

Annoyed I missed this. Automatic is an under-rated classic - I couldn't stand it when I bought it on LP - it was only years later when I decided to give it a second chance on CD that I started to appreciate it.

I also love the songs on Automatic. But i find I starting noticing and focussing on the drum machine (Gillespie leaving etc) more and more and it becomes really annoying to me depending on my mood. If they could re-record the album with an actual drummer it would be right up there for me.

That was the main thing I didn't like about when I first listened to the LP. I must have developed a drum-machine tolerance in the intervening years.

I wouldn't mind going tomorrow night but the Sabbath is for quiet contemplation; not concerts (especially bands with blasphemous-sounding names) and football matches :wink2:.

Accompanied the wife. Have to say I was never a fan and that was reinforced last night. Godawful they were. I'm sure it seemed very alternative and rebellious when they were teenagers but it just looked silly and sounded terrible last night.

Thought I might enjoy it when I was there but was worse than I imagined. I've seen better bands for £3 in pubs in Kirkcaldy back in the day.
