Re: 'rage goes retro' 2 - FULL ARCHIVAL INFO on TWO of the ROCK ARENA episodes being screened
Very much looking forward to Retro 2- also a big fan of Japan and the Stranglers.The 89 episode is not too bad if you record and FF through the TISM rubbish and just watch the Prince and Siouxsie Sioux clips
Re: 'rage goes retro' 2 - FULL ARCHIVAL INFO on TWO of the ROCK ARENA episodes being screened
I am a HUGE Japan fan and Sylvian and love The Stranglers ... BUT ... in the case of the 1983 Episode, rage play Elvis Costello A LOT as well as The Stranglers and as for TISM, they only played a Rock Aren performance half hour special after the repeat of the TISM 90's Guest Programming last year. So it's a bit annoying ...
But I have requested the David Sylvian interview for yearrrrrrs!* So I am so PLEASED *
I'd prefer rage avoid 1989 at all costs if possible! Especially in the case of Rock Arena. But that episode Nathan posted looks okaaaay. Big Bam Boo are cool, I have one of their videos.
But AGAIN, the TISM show was played on rage only about 6 months or so ago on rage after the TISM programming. A tad lazy ...

I'm not, it's absolute CRAP!
I am awake at 4:55 and for the last hour we have been ROBBED of another Rock Arena or a Countdown or TWO Countdown Revolutions if rage wanted to concentrate on 1989.
An hour repeat of a useless Top 10 they played on Saturday morning.
And there was no need for the last 1989 Rock Arena, totally bland as bland can be.
The first two Rock Arena's started off great and then downhill from there.

Interesting to see people's different points of view. Whilst I agree week 2 was a bit of a bummer I still got something out of it. The 3 H & C clips were good. Been years since I saw those. Also that Black Sorrows set was also cool. A much younger Vicka & Linda. I enjoyed watching that set.
Re: 'rage goes retro' 2 - FULL ARCHIVAL INFO on TWO of the ROCK ARENA episodes being screened
I was one of the only ones that got something out of rage goes retro 2. Whilst the first Rock Arena had clips many see on rage all the time, I love the Rock Arena format and I've always been a Rock Arena fan since the 80s.
And as for episode two, I certainly got A LOT out of it as I requested that episode. Certainly not for Hunters And Collectors as I only like their first two albums when they were Post Punk/New Wave. Me being a HUUUGE Japan and David Sylvian fan was my reason for requesting that episode and I am one happy boy to finally have the interview that Suzanne so very gracefully conducted with KING SYLVIAN!
It takes a certain sophisticated musical palate to appreciate Japan and Sylvian and I luckily have that sophisticated musical palet unlike most Australian bogans as I am European/Irish and English.
I fortunately tuned out and pressed stop on my DVD Recorder on the awful 1989 RA, I loathe Vika and Linda and The Black Sorrows. Jo Jo Zep was SO GREAT in the Falcons and was STUNNING solo and then came that travesty!
