BB FANS

NO Im spending (£15 quid you say - thats not much when you think I can spend upwards of £70 on a night on the beer!!) MY MONEY on a CD by a band IVE followed for over half my life in order to complete my collection of EVERYTHING THEYVE RELEASED!!! I've got every CD TAPE AND RECORD theyve bought out in this country and a couple of american ones too....

THATS WHY! I couldnt give two s***s who the money goes to...as long as I keep my record collection complete! AND if that makes me shallow or sad or fanatical I really couldnt care less!!!

BTW HD much agreed on that - since REM never used to print their lyrics on their stuff it was funny trying to decifer it!!! Talk about the passion IS french!

*spluttering coffee all over the keyboard *

Oh god! hahahha! ROFLMAO....oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was something like that but convinced myself it was call me in to talk! My mates laughed at me so long for saying it was French!
I can't stop laughing now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

whats the difference ... i buy blank discs for roughly 40cent each , i copy the music , it sounds exactly the same .... am i missing something here .... i mean do u look at the CD and somehow get enjoyment out of that .... or what?

Depends what's on the cover I suppose

Yes - as I said before.....

I tried to get tickets to see the band in Manchester not long ago. But they all sold out. I'll keep my eyes open for when it comes out as I haven't got all the cd's.

As for the copying issue of CD's. If you are on low income or have very little money I can understand why some people would download music, some CD's can be pretty expensive to many people. This is something which has been debatable for years. When I download anything on the net it tends to be a TV programme that I have missed. I love West Wing and I missed a few of the shows when I doing my exams so I downloaded a few episodes to catch up with series and then delated them.

Ive seen them quite a few times michelle - they were EXCELLENT!

Not as good live since Bill Berry left IMO but still VERY good

I really dislike you now Obo! I wish I had have gone to seen them. Everytime I go to get a ticket they always sell out!

I always ring and ring and ring on the day the tickets go on sale until I get through!! They nearly always sell out on the day!!!
