I used to like Dead or Alive. Do you think any gay folks might possibly attend this gig?

Fuck Off ! :mad:


One of the reason's I hate them so much is because as a gay in the 80s this was the type of music that got pumped at you in nearly every bar and club, non-stop. You couln't get away from this crap. They started their sausage line with Hazel Dean, a butch looking high energy diva who was marketed at gay men. At the time I tried to avoid fucking people who had Hazel Dean records.
 
I saw Prince Lovesexy tour and the two blokes for Dead or Alive sat a few seats along from me - they looked really larger than life in their garms, and danced the whole way through ;)
 
I've been trying to make up a joke involving Oxo cubes, 8 children, and some water, man, but I can't come up with anything funny :(
 
Find it hard to hate SAW esp in the era of Simon Cowell tbh,snogged my 1st girlfriend when Rick Ashley was no1 with "Never going to give you up",brings back happy memories whenever I hear it on the radio.

It was also really popular in nite clubs in post-industrial hellhole central Scotland. Hazel Dean, Divine, and above all Man 2 Man meets Man Parrish.
 
Pete Waterman isn't human. He's some kind of spiteful, malevolent egg-creature, badly disguised as a sex tourist.
 
Respectable's probably the best thing the SAW beast ever created, although Dead Or Alive's You Spin Me Round runs it close.
 
^ I actually preferred Showin Out, that was the one I meant to post, can't be arsed lookin fer it now, though. They'll be no Mel an Kim reunion though will there? Not with one of them bein dead. People are supposed to remember where they were when JFK got shot or John Lennon. Well, JFK was before my time, an who's arsed about John Lennon? But when Mel Appleby died, that really hit home. I remember talkin to me mate about it at the time - skin cancer wasn't it? Both dark haired as well, weren't they?

Spin me is up there, but nope.

Their first (I think it was first) Princess 'Say I'm Your Number One' was way out in front. It's still a great record, albeit unfeasibly slow for a 'dance' track. Yes kids, clubs used to play records with an almost *negative* bpm.

I wonder where she is now? I'd love to shake her hand even if she's working in my local chippy.
 
I once did stage security at the SAW matinee roadshow in about 89 or so - proper shite, all the acts mimed 2 songs and Jason was the final turn. I spent the entire afternoon dragging hystercal / fainted early teen girls out of the crush.

I never want to expeience this ever again.

a big no for me.

oh yes, one of the more famous singers - in the line up the OP mentioned - passed out in the dressing room and was sick on herself after doing a rather bountiful line of coke. Peter Waterman wasnt impressed

Mel died of pneumonia, following treatment for metastatic paraganglioma.
