There is probably a good film to be...God Almighty.<br /><br />There is probably a good film to be made about the role of industrial cities in establishing Heavy Rock & Metal. Birmingham obviously for Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, while Detroit and Cleveland were the cities that boosted Kiss and Rush, respectively. Metal has always been blue collar, which is surely one reason why the critics are sniffy about it.<br /><br />I still don't like Def Leppard, mind.Hawkfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869783230626158753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-28576357580872955432014-07-18T15:49:26.341+01:002014-07-18T15:49:26.341+01:00Why, why, why?

Truly gruesome stuff.<br />In the late 90's I went to an off, off, off, off Broadway production in New York. The play was a dramatisation of Ian Curtis's life, a dozen years before 'Control'. It was utterly awful. The actors each played more than one part, so characters kept disappearing to the pub to have some 'pints of ale', for some reason things were constantly being described as 'bollacks' in hopeless 'cor blimey guvnor' accents and the dummy legs purporting to be the hanging torso of Curtis dropped through the scenery while the actor playing him was still on stage. I should really write a post on the whole sorry business.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-11436254200516460262014-07-18T12:06:46.556+01:002014-07-18T12:06:46.556+01:00Face, meet palm.Face, meet palm.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.com
