It's interesting with metal how it sort of sneaks classical music and folk forms into the mainstream.

The riff in that SOAD song sounds like that Salisbury Hill song.

When @Mr. Tea and I were undergraduates next door to SOAS there was a hippy culture in the union there regardless of the student body. The story went that because the bar was on property belonging to the Queen, the police had to give a week's notice to raid it. So there were people in there ALL the time selling and smoking hash openly. My memory of visiting is a bit "dim" but it was a darkened dank hippy den for sure.

i dont but i have and have had muso friends and musos have a tendency to like metal without actually being metallers. they always get into it sooner or later for whatever reason

John Balance went to uni in Brighton innit.

Just trying to get things in this thread back on track, like Jesus driving the merchants from the temple :)

Yeah he moved to London in 1982 (when he was 20?) though, so I am not sure how long he was there for... the lure of Sleazy and being in PTV must have been compelling.

Philip Best ran away from home to join Whitehouse when he was 15 years old though.

Unclear what safeguarding procedures the early 80s industrial music scene had in place.

Yeah genesis was writing to balance when he was a schoolboy I think ? Quite amazingly active / efficient talent scouting operation really. No one would be bothered to do that kind of thing nowadays. Well I guess Wiley when he goes to Romford and hears a new 14 year old MC or whatever

i'm surprised that your surprised, but yeah go for it, i think studying as a grown up is probably much more worthwhile than as a stupid teenager, i was not that committed a student but i did see edward said speaking and that was sufficient
