That was the only matter I took issue with (if you’d care to read back)

*On the matter of Guns N’ Roses, Castle Donnington, 1988. On everything else you are, as usual, completely wrong.

You hapless, drunken buffoon.

actually, i lied. I was just trying to be part of the gang. what I was engaged with was the “Down in the sewer” ref – unsubtle as it was. Nevertheless one of the finest songs ever written by mankind. skewers ore otherwise.

*Comes in late*

I got the Peaches reference, even though I find the song mediocre. Do I get a medal?

Also, rock? Donnington? What’s all this? Rock is stuff like McFly and Green Day isn’t it?

He’s lucky he didn’t get crushed to death.

My brother was at Donington the year that happened. (88).

Well done! So, finally, you acknowledge the fact two people being crushed at Monsters had no relevance to what I was talking about. Progress, at last.

As for Iron Maiden headlining the show in 88, yes, you’re absolutely correct. I should have said ‘appear’ when referring to G N’ R in my original up-to-date news bulletin. I would still argue that 88 was the year they were the biggest band on the planet – but then that’s always going to be a matter of opinion.

Betcha didn’t see that one coming, did you, you shithouse?

And yes, you are mistaken. Some lyrics to a song I don’t like by a band I don’t like are not as recognisable to me as ‘God save our gracious queen.’ I don’t tend to recall the lyrics to songs I’m not too keen on quite as much as I do easy-to-remember words from an anthem I’ve heard repeatedly every year of my life. It’s just one of those things.

No, you were getting facts wrong about who headlined Donington after failing to notice the source of some lyrics from a song as recognisable as the first line of the National Anthem, if I’m not mistaken

Still irrelevant to my last point, though. Was I, or was I not, talking about whether two fans were crushed to death when I made my original statement? Reading back (something I note you find it difficult to do), I see I wasn’t.

Yes, but G&R weren’t headlining that year, it was Iron Maiden

No, I didn’t know the incredibly secret fact that two people got crushed at Donnington in 1988. Why would I? What possible reason would I have for knowing something like that? It’s not as if I have anything to do with the world of rock music that would make me privy to such under-the-radar rock information, is it?

Or perhaps it’s the fact I was talking about who was headlining that year, and not how many people died, that made me omit such information? Who knows, eh?

Cheers for knocking a few years off my age, by the way. I’m in my twenties again – huzzah!

As I wasn’t talking about 88′s death-toll, I didn’t feel it necessary to mention the fact, no. And anyway, I don’t need a lesson in rock history from a man who lives his life attending classical music concerts and listening to risible shit like Hawkwind, for fuck’s sake. Let’s just agree that you’re completely wrong about everything, yes? YES?

Good, now we’re agreed, back to some new and exciting rock news …

NC, 88 was only notable because 2 people died when G&R were playing, thought you would’ve known that being the rock aficionado you are. They weren’t the biggest band on the planet that year, they were tipped, everyone was very, very excited *yawns*

I thought they were overrated, still do.

I don’t, that’s my excuse. Still doesn’t mean you have to know all the words if you do, mind.

There’s nothing to defend, Swineshead. You’re expected to know the lyrics of every bloody song ever written, are you? That’s the sort of thing obsessive weirdos like Piqued do.
