    Probably the last year you heard the term the big four of Thrash.

    Didn't go to see Slayer in 1988 - I've seen them five times since. Saw Metallica, a few songs from Anthrax and Megadeth 88/89. Megadeth were unreal.

    C&C music factory was the closest America got to dance culture until daftpunk hit them in the face in the early 00's and they layed off the hippin and the hopping and turned to molly.

    Even though they invented House and Techno but it didnt take off in a big way there.

    Same as blues and jazz music - bring it to Europe to be appreciated. Racism basically.

    I was a rocker and stopped watch TOTP back then and my memories are vague but my mates who were into alt. One of them were always going on about them being way up there! :p

    Deadly!! Man the G'n'R clone support band got some stick until the last song when they played Holiday in Cambodia(I could be wrong there but close) and brought the house down!

    Anyways, this was the start of the decline of Maiden! Sad if you were a fan.

    From the poster ‘AcerBen’ on Digital Spy enquiring about when and if ‘The Story Of 1991’ will be shown...


    I've just had an email back from Head of Music TV Commissioning at the BBC. I asked whether she could confirm that Story Of 1991 would be shown at some point or had the series been discontinued.

    She has responded:

    "We think it will go out in the autumn, date to be confirmed. There is a new run of films coming to be announced soon."

    Probably no point going back to ask why - my best guess would be that production/editing was put on hold due to the proposed changes to the BBC programming budget, and perhaps now that has been decided and/or they've seen how well the BBC Two repeats have done, it's back on?

    31 years ago...man I feel old! Shame what happened to them all the same.

    I must have repressed all memory of that, dont recall it at all.

    Anthrax. Bastards walked off stage after three songs in the Top Hat 1989 because they were being spat at. It was £8 and we got £5 refunds. I'll never forgive them.

    Yeah, I hated the fu<ker back then too but took a shine to him when he did Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

    Among the Living is a bit of a classic. And what they did with Public Enemy was actually reasonably good - although the horror of Nu Metal that followed :pac:

    9pm The Live Revival (Sky Arts) New!
    Ep 1 of 3 A showcase for small music venues that have been closed during the pandemic, with performances by artists who played in them at the start of their careers, including Paul Weller, David Gray, Sleaford Mods, Amy McDonald, the Fratellis, Frank Turner and James

    This was very much meh. Weller doing his granny impression, the usual Noel Gallagher nonsense and a couple of decent tunes from Sleaford Mods.

    The piano started melting and I was wading up to my thighs in it by the chorus.
