You know, I haven't listened to Filmstar in years. I think I love it now more than ever!

Ok I've looked into this- as "Let Go" wasn't a UK single (I think it was on the B-side here of "Can't Get Enough") so isn't eligible. "Together" isn't listed as double A-Side with "New Generation" on either Polyhex or MW (again at the time) :(

 

:( Oh well.

Lazy is awful - as is everything from Electricity onwards - apart from Everything Will Flow.

 

Coming Up has to be the most heart-breakingly disappointing album of my life. :( I grew to like it but it took about 10 years.

Totally the opposite for me - I think it suited my taste perfectly at the time (indie/pop/90s britpop). I can see why if you were a huge fan of Suede and DMS it would be a bit of a sell out and change of direction?

To be honest I only bought "Suede" because all my mates liked them when they were the new indie darlings circa 93 but I wasn't really into it beyond the singles and "Pantomime Horse". I didn't bother with DMS but when "Trash" came out they absolutely HAD ME! and I then invested in DMS which is literally AMAZE (such an overused Buzzjack word but here appropriate) but I was majorly let down by both HM and ANM. :(

I purchased in this order

 

 

DMS - staggeringly amazing album :w00t:

Suede - disappointing but grew on me - amazing singles

Coming Up - crushingly ordinary with terrible lyrics compared to the high art of DMS

Headmusic - awful apart from maybe 3 tracks

A New Morning - listened to once

Nah....it was more like they lost their mystery, their danger, their darkness, their power. Coming Up was the work of a band who knew how to write decent pop songs. It wasn't creation. It was production.

Each to their own. It is a huge part of my Uni days for me!

Suede tour dates

 

Thanks to this ingenious site I now know that I saw Suede on 28th February 1993, and 4th October 96. I also saw them in 2011 when they did the "Coming Up" show- magic!

Ingenious but incomplete :( There a number of 1992 dates missing, including my first ever Suede gig (out of more than 40)

Glorious song, don't blame you!

A glorious song indeed. One of my favourite ever gigs was McAlmont & Butler's only performance with Edwyn Collins as the support act. They were due to do another gig some time later. However it clashed with a Kitchens Of Distinction gig and I chose to go to that instead. In the event David McAlmont was ill so the gig was cancelled. However, he turned up at the Kitchens gig and joined them for one song (Mad As The Snow) :D

That "Coming Up" show in 2011 was indeed fantastic. Probably the best gig I've ever been at - I got to touch Brett's manly chest.

I was in Ye gods for that show but the view was good! I like that they did a little "greatest hits" section at the end for the benefit of Radio 1 that night. IIRC they played "Europe Is Our Playground" which one of my fave B-sides.

 

Oddly enough I did wonder if anyone else from Buzzjack was there that night! :lol:

I should do this really. I bought all their CD singles from the first 3 albums although I only ever saw them once - 15th October 1992 at the Liverpool Krazy House. 20 bloody years ago!

Yeah - we all have different experiences with different bands.

May 4th 1997 for me where they played all of Coming Up except Picnic By the Motorway - which was my favourite song on it.

 

I saw them do Suede and Dog Man Star in 2011 which were bloody fantastic.

I went to all three of the London shows :D

Gezza - Some votes in from me - sorry to any Lazy / Filmstar fans, but those two singles were horrible - although strangely befitting of the time when all charting indie bands were obliged to sound awful.

Yes please!! :D

We might have rubbed shoulders at the bar (which took forever) :(

 

They were on cracking form that night!
