Just to keep it town related, I hear Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins thought David Cork was overrated. I’ve liked this but have no reason why 🤔. I have not thought about David Cork and his blond mullet for almost 40 years! Made me smile though. Billy Corgan is our generation’s Bob Dylan: Tremendous songwriter and musician, absolutely ghastly singer |

Mate, that is one of the reasons I love Megadeth; the complexity of Mustaine's songwriting, note/key/chord changes, mixed with the SPEED he plays at just blows me away. I could NEVER master any of his riffs when I learned guitar. I remember reading an interview with the orchestra that did the shows with Metallica and every single member that was interviewed said how surprised they were at the complexity and arrangements of metal songs. The majority of them are now fans of heavier music. I think it's the more extreme versions of singing that put most people off. Quote from my granddad to my metal-head uncle in the 70s: "Black Sabbath are a great band, until the singer opens his bloody mouth"  Edit: I agree about Foos too, WAY better than Nirvana IMO and to top it off Grohl is the nicest person you could ever meet according to my wheelchair-bound mate. Dave saw him queuing at a gig and got security to let them in the side entrance, got him VIP spots to watch the show and got him VIP meet and greet tickets for after too; legend. Dave Grohl is the Darren Moore of rock music. A nice bloke but you wouldn’t want to listen to him or watch anything he’d put together!I'd have to disagree. While not a HUGE fan of them, the Foos have some great catchy tunes. Regular posters will know I'm more into the thrashier and heavier end of music but Foos have some really good songs out there. Nirvana do too, don't get me wrong, but the hype they got after Nevermind was insane. I thought Bleach was better personally. And to compare their music to DM? Blimey, had you had a bad day or something?  |

Tremendous songwriter and musician, absolutely ghastly singer 100% agree about Dylan, vastly over-rated singer, but the songs themselves, brilliant. A bit different with BC, awful voice, but somehow it works with the music. Love a bit of Pumpkins. |

I have not thought about David Cork and his blond mullet for almost 40 years! Made me smile though. David Cork scored the first town goal I ever saw live (a 3-1 home defeat to West Brom in 1988). He has a special place in my heart. |

May have just been an off-hand comment or a tangent about finances I can't quite remember. We certainly should be having more bands at the stadium, if a band like Muse can "lower themselves" to play in Huddersfield I'm sure others can. FFS look at the calibre of bands that appeared when the stadium first opened, household names. Can't even remember who played there recently before Muse. |

The Eagles played there too - It’s not cool, but I’m a sucker for 70s West Coast artists and they were note perfect (if a tad aneamic). |

And Blue (shit but huge at the time) among others? |

Prior to Muse, the stadium had Take That, Green Day and someone else?
Whilst Halifax Piece Hall has some fab gigs going on, there needs to be more gigs back at the Stadium.

The Piece Hall doesn't hold at least 40,000 people for a gig, it holds 5,500. It's like comparing the Manchester Apollo to the Manchester Arena, they are two completely different types of venue. |

I’d rather blame that smug tw@t with the smackable face Gary Barlow than some young ladies who have talent, great voices and put on a show….  |

As far as I remember, it was Bon Jovi in 2001. Blue, Girls Aloud and Darius in 2004. Elton John in 2005. Bryan Adams in 2006. |

My word we need some decent gigs at the JSS. Elton John, Bryan Adams, REM, Green Day all great.
Then you have Take That, Bon Jovi and Blue.
Jesus wept. If they development came to fruition with bars, accommodation, etc then you could easily sell packages to eat, take in a gig, and stay over. Mind you, not exactly a glamorous location to a non-football fan!

Mind you, not exactly a glamorous location to a non-football fan! I think people need to get real over this though. The Piece Hall is great, and is really bringing money to Halifax (although some Halifax residents moan like fuck about it). But the capacities of The Piece Hall and the John Smith's are vastly different. As far as I'm aware, about 40,000 people went to the Bryan Adams gig. In contrast, The Piece Hall holds 5,500, so the only gigs that they're realistically going to be able to host here are far beyond what they can host at The Piece Hall. For example, I've seen The Specials and Madness at The Piece Hall. There's no way those bands would sell anywhere near enough tickets to make it viable at The John Smith's. How many of the bands and artists that are playing The Piece Hall this year would realistically fill the John Smith's? The downside is that the capacity is simply too big, so it limits the gigs we can get. Most stadium bands will already play Leeds, Manchester and maybe Liverpool/Sheffield, so that's also another factor. |

Promoters/booking agents will take venues that offer the best value for the size of show they are looking to put on. Value will be determined by price, insurances and cost of operation at the venue. There are enough stadium shows but does the JSS offer the best option/value? (NB: I don't know the answer but there will be a reason) |

Dave Grohl is the Darren Moore of rock music. A nice bloke but you wouldn’t want to listen to him or watch anything he’d put together!I'd have to disagree. While not a HUGE fan of them, the Foos have some great catchy tunes. Regular posters will know I'm more into the thrashier and heavier end of music but Foos have some really good songs out there. Nirvana do too, don't get me wrong, but the hype they got after Nevermind was insane. I thought Bleach was better personally. And to compare their music to DM? Blimey, had you had a bad day or something? Have to agree with mosher on this. The Foos may have been on the pop end of that genre but they did some very good stuff. Regarding Dave Grohl he is a very accomplished musician. I think he is one of the main reasons Songs For The Deaf was such a success. If you listen to God is in the radio on that album, if you are OK on the heavier side of rock, the way the percussion, very simply, drives that track is spot on. (Sorry to continue the off topic but it is silly season for football message boards) 🙂 |
