I feel so quick in my leather boots: poll of PSYCHOCANDY by THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

The late John Loder, jeez, I hadn't realised he'd died.

I remember a number of the tracks had "Drums: John" so..

.. It cound be John Moore, or it could mean Loder. I dunno. I think it's quite some time before Moore was their drummer, but then ...

are you saying bobby g wasnae a good enough drummer? heaven forfend!

John Moore did some of the drums but it was mostly Bobby Gillespie.

Not mentioned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychocandy but here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jesus_and_Mary_Chain
it says

Drummer Gillespie announced his departure from the band in October 1985, to concentrate on Primal Scream.[31] He had recorded most of the drums on Psychocandy, with John Moore filling in when Gillespie was unavailable, eventually joining the band to replace him.[32] John Loder also acted as a stand-in drummer when Gillespie was unavailable for live performances.[33]

Well, there you go then. I knew this before Wikipedia was invented.

I'd find these sheets if:

1) I had the time,
2) I knew where they were. or even knew if I still had them or not.

Even the tracks with 0 votes are A+++++.

AND IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

and it's cold outside

so i'm playing the remastered version of this album for the first time tonight. absolutely blown away, like one of the best albums ever released blown away. WOW

these remastered versions of Jesus and Mary Chain albums are so amazing to hear.

Keep forgetting about these. Is Honey's Dead out and worth getting?

they were all released together afaik, sept 2011. amazon.co.uk has copies of HD.

good news, nostalgic pensioners!

this actually sounds really awesome

only going to go if they have meat whiplash as support

And Doug and Bobby back in the band..

And, heck, Murray too for old times sake..

Do I have to drink a litre of Merrydown in the queue outside the Barras to complete the full nostalgia package?

that would be fun but i would like to hear more than just this album.

Lead singer Jim Reid said in a statement (via NME), “Psychocandy was meant to be a kick in the teeth to all of those who stood in our way at the time, which was practically the whole music industry. In 1985 there were a great many people who predicted no more than a six month life span for The Mary Chain. to celebrate the approaching 30th anniversary of the album, we would like to perform it in its entirety. We will also perform key songs from that period that did not feature on the album.”

Wish/Grant

You do realise they would play for 30 to 45 mins back then?

And that was when things were going well...

I have decided this will be done. Silver top, none of yer sweet gold top shite.

Looks like it sold out in minutes. Weird how doing fuck all and/or being rubbish for decades makes you more popular.

iirc the last round of london gigs got merged together, 2 dates collapsed into 1, which i assumed was due to low ticket sales at the time.

just had a look and they were no tickets available. but GetMeIn could 'get me in' for ~£50 (half the glasgow price)

Was "Just Like Honey" a well known alternative rock hipster signifier before Lost in Translation or did it become so after? Danish national "alternative music" station P6 must play it a couple times a week and it seems like such a hollow gesture.

They also have stuff like "Lust for Life" on repeat, which it's a great song but maybe should not be applied every day I dunno.

It depends on which side of the pond you are. UK, well before. USA .. someone?

it was pretty known (number 2 in the Festive Fifty, got to number 45 in the charts etc) but not mega known. the film definitely put it on the radar of your Gen Y types.

i saw the Psychocandy gig at The Roundhouse last week; incredible sound and Miki of Lush fame was on backing vox for ..Honey once again.

Eye-opening pics in this thread. I had no idea these guys had such terrible 80s hair.

I was just going to ask if anyone had seen them on the current tour. I saw one of 2007 reunion shows and was pretty disappointed, but I'd give them another chance if the reports are good.

Gonna see them on Friday.

Seeing them this evening!

I will Never Understand, what the appeal of this song is.

It is a good song, but 2nd on the list?

Please enlighten me...

great revive

I like it but I find it almost indistinguishable from "My Little Underground" and I'm not sure why one has so much more canonical shine than the other.

Oh wait I've said this like twice in this thread already

Some eephus talking

Not gonna lie. Some eephus talking make me laugh!!
