In comparison, The Damned and post-Lydon Pistols were far more pantomime. Jamie Stephenson Where is the best unsigned scene at the moment Having seen Kubichek and The Hype Foundation play on Tuesday, I have to say it's in Newcastle. Both bands were great, and so was the mad man on laptop who supported. Anyone else wanting to stake a claim that their town is better?

They did used to come out on Fridays and Saturdays, so Led Zip IV may well have been on a Saturday. It was only when some bright bod at the big record labels realised they could get a full week's sales in before the charts came out (on (uesdays back then) that Mondays became the norm. I'm noe sure if Fridays have always been the day for new films, though. Ian (ownsend ——————————————————————————————————2/9—— Your favourite Channel 4 shows 400 HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT WARN'T YOUR FAULT?

TV not playing enough metal^ As if Eminem needs to be played on yet another channel. You're almost guaranteed to see his latest video within minutes of switching to one of the other channels. KTV should show rock and punk only. Angie Lovatt Alabama 3 never get any recognition and should be having No 1 singles with their life-affirming songs. They don't fit into a flavour-of-the-month clique, but they're the greatest live band we have.

If that doesn't get Peter back among us, nothing will. Fingers crossed. Stop whining about Green Day selling out. Even the real punk bands sold out^ It makes financial sense.

Chris Martin has made a career out of proving them right. As for the unfailingly dreadful Pete Doherty's new single F*** Forever, I'm forming a new band named Forever^ Our first single is called F*** Babyshambles.

Good drumming and lead guitar work all going to waste when chucked together with afterthought riffs and awful screamed or whiny imo vocals. Why listen to a watered-down version of melodic death metal when the real thing is a hundred times better? Sarcastic Horse I agree with Hummer, The Kooks are nothing more than public school scum trying to be with it. We've got one Fightstar, we certainly don't need another.

I still think their songs sound the same, but theu put on a great show and it was worth the journey just to hear Hurt. Also, the gorgeous Natalie Imbruglia looks just like the even more gorgeous Carol Vorderman. Varg I've long said Rachel Stevens records a half-second soundbite to be put in a PC to create a "voice" for all her songs. Her vocals make Gere sound rich by comparison.
