This is devastating news, I'm a huge fan of Setzer and the Cats, I really do hope he makes a full recovery.

I've been a Stray Cats fan since boyhood, I never had the opportunity to see them live until they performed in London, before the pandemic, and they were amazing, a lifelong ambition fulfilled, and Setzer was on fire!

Good old Lisa, proper northern lass and a huge talent to boot, legend!

One of my biggest burning regrets is not getting to Tom Petty perform live, I've always been a massive fan, and I'll take that regret to the grave.

Likewise the On The Beach holiday adverts, incessant and really f**cking annoying!!

Well they can't be Walkers, there are too many crisps in that packet!

I'm shocked and appalled, I don't think it's possible to adequately convey my disgust.

It simply demonstrates that this platform attracts well balanced, open minded, and more importantly sensible people, who are just begging to be corrupted by a total sod like you, and we thank you for it, keep up the good work!

I'm pissing myself with the exciting prospect of seeing them in London next month, I know it won't be the same without Dimebag, but I am a Zakk Wylde fan, so hopefully it'll be a banger!

Just stop it will you, how am I supposed to get any work done today when you keep bombarding me with videos reminding me of all the great music from my past. It's a good job you don't live nearby, I'd be frogmarching you to the nearest pub with a jukebox! 🤘🤘

Tell me about it, years ago I lived next to Peter Parker, and one day that twat just stood there staring at at me while I struggled at the top of a high ladder, desperately trying clear the guttering of dead leaves. I wouldn't have minded so much, but he knows I'm afraid of heights!

I think we also need a platform that is a little closer in form and functionality to Facebook, without all the bullshit, fraud and advertising, although Bluesky is great, but the character limits can be frustrating.

Cheers for the tip off mate, it's getting a bit frightening how many books are now on my rapidly growing "books to get" list since joining Bluesky!

Now you're talking! I'm a massive Rory Gallagher fan, I can't wait until the summer, when I'll be heading to Ireland to celebrate the life and work of the great man in the town of his birth, Ballyshannon, which holds an annual music festival in his honour!

What delicious heaven, I'm just digging out my VH1 album which I now intend to listen to very loudly, even though it is only 06:45, the neighbours won't need an alarm clock this morning!🤘

Welcome Nick, I just want to begin by saying how much I'm enjoying Karla's Choice, to me (and I don't care what others may say) it feels so much like a seemless continuation, in the most respectful way, of your father's work, it's like being reunited with an old friend!

Having taken the very same cable car ride in Madeira, which despite being scared of heights, I allowed myself to be talked into, I totally sympathise, I still have nightmares about those big rocks just begging for fragile bodies to smash into them!

And how many have died so far as a consequence of Musk's fuck up machines. And if he can do that for transport, just think what he can do for the progress and prosperity of mankind....

That was supposed to read challenging, it's always a mistake to rely upon spell unchecking when writing messages or the usual braindead shit I spew out!

I know mate, and what I appreciate the most, is you changing me in my native tongue, for that alone, you get my respect me old mucker.

You are now enlightened to the purpose of the BBC, which is to dumb down and reduce to the lowest common denominator, and make stupidity an acceptable norm.

Followed by the overwhelming sense of anticipation, when upon returning home, and inserting the prized cassette (if you were lucky it was a TDK C90, better audio quality) into ones own cassette player, of audio nirvana!

I listened to A Different Kind of Truth for the first time in quite some time last night, fucking hell I almost cried. Also, as a Brit, I'm still cut up about the passing of Jeff Beck, as yet, I still haven't been brave enough to listen to one of his albums.

I'm too old to know what MySpace was, but in my day we had a wonderful creation called the double cassette recorder, which was a sure-fire way of accumulating friends! 🤘

Still heartbroken, I don't know how I would have survived my teenage years without the music of Van Halen. My days of darkness were illuminated by a raucous magic that as yet I'm unable to grow out of, I will go to my grave with my rigor mortis afflicted hand making this sign 🤘and a smile on my face

Wouldn't that just take the mystery and the fun out of it though, if we just absent mindedly revealed ourselves. Oops🤫

I think this post is a bit ambiguous, I don't think you've expressed your feelings and opinion strongly enough, why don't you try again and tell us how you really feel 😂

In relation to my earlier post, the second chap is also a veteran who saw active service, and has similar mental health issues as the Geordie lad, he's struggled to reintegrate into civilian life, has received very poor support from the state, his relationship broke down because of his mental health

I struggle with this, on an emotional level, returned to my home city and met two homeless guys, both veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, one lad, a Geordie, had his leg blown off by an IED, has mental health issues (PTSD) and the system, and society has really fucked him over!

And the more we learn of the UK's complicity in this genocide, the more sick and ashamed I feel.

Very fetching, but we're a bit disappointed by the absence of a Christmas hat!

It's important to learn not to give ourselves away by giving in to generational references, unless you're uncomfortable about lying about your age 🤥

My mother in law still believes this, I tried to explain to her the concept of photosynthesis, and I was immediately admonished and told not to be lured in by conspiracy theories.....

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but the government WILL bail them out, the bills WILL go up, and the shareholders will barely get a haircut. We in the UK are now also living in the age of hyper capitalism, again, I hope I'm wrong!

Well you can exclude me from that sweeping generalisation, I'm as sickened and appalled by the arsehole as you are, I'd quite happily allow despicable things to be done to men like him.

And we're already on that slippery slope, we as a country just seem incapable of seeing the writing on the wall, and we just hand over the cheque book to a bunch of fec kless twats who say one thing and then do the exact opposite.

I think we'd probably shit ourselves in reality, but you're right, it's blindingly obvious that we aren't as grateful for its existence as we should be, and we all need to unify in defending it and ensuring it's future, without it we're screwed!

I hope things turn out well for the people of Syria, they've been through enough hell in recent years, but I'm fearful that things will descend into the same chaos that Iraq has suffered, am I too ignorant to raise this as a concern, or could it really happen?

Oh, for fucks sake! He really is the insufferable twat that would turn up to the opening of an envelope!
