smiths things to see in manchester,london

[xfranklyx]

granted i went during the day to salford lads, i never once got the impression of a bad neighborhood or maybe having probs during the night there. phil (sorry i forget your name on here) was driving us around and we also drove past another part that he said was bad but again, it didnt seem that bad for me. maybe cause i lived in ghetto brooklyn? haha

i have heard from touring bands from the states calling manchester "gunchester" and having probs but whatevs. MAYBE waiting for a bus at piccadilly gardens seemed a little sketchy late at night besides that.. i just dont see it!

make sure you walk behind the new hacienda along that canal. they have all these plaques on the wall of bands an the first year they played there. of course theres a smiths one!

p.s. def pick up that book!

went in Jan this year


also went to the Holy Name Church although i cant find the picture at the moment and Moz's childhood home (just drove by, i thought it to be a bit strange standing outside someones house and take pictures)..


i'll be back in Nov..
need to go to the Southern Cemetary and any other spots that come up on in this thread!

bigmouthxxx...where are you from, CA by any chance?

Have I offended you in some way, Cowshed?

Oh, God no, sorry Scarlet! Your name just happened to be at the top of Virgil's original quote. It was just to jibe in Virgil's direction that I'd be available for a East End breakfast

yes, I go every year. I did see the queen band,they were great(best ones)
I like the bands who get into it. I wanted to see Bowie but my mate wanted to see James Taylor? so we compromised and watched madonna who was funny and camp.
I am disappointed it doesn't go on as late as it use to (10ish) but you can always go inside the pubs and bars.
imagine a morrissey and smiths stage,just for them. wow, if I get excited over tributes the real thing would make my life more bearable.

The guy really went for it as mercury I thought, ooo I saw Bowie on Tithebarn st, he was really good
The Madonna one was camp, you shoulda seen the take that one
Yeh it did finish quite early this year, I carried on the party in the bars though although, I couldn't move for all the peopel

Get the book "Panic on the streets" that should tell you all the places and how to get there.

That's the book I would recommend
