Those are strong words coming from a Genesis fan.

Wolter is a Genesis fan?

You disgust me, Wolt.
If this is even remotely true, this is the equivalent of the preacher caught with a trunkload of naked boys.

Wouldn't let him anywhere near my gate if he was clutching a Genesis album.

As for We built this city.... title wise it sounds like an CTC outtake, musically it sounds worse than Genesis played backwards.

Wasn't there a CtC era track called Rock n Roll City? I think it may of developed a different title later on.

It's not even remotely true. I despise Genesis. Even with Peter Gabriel.

Hoy, stop the defamation.

I think Matey was getting confused, he meant Mike and the Mechanics.

I was waiting with bated breath for your response to my fabrication.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Tell us Wolter, who is the uncoolest band you like? No one is perfect.

edit: I forgot, you like Iron Maiden.

It was so odd that I almost didn't bother until I realized not addressing it might make some people think I had told you something Hoyish at the CTC Cougar Bar.

Honestly, though: I think attacking my love of (SOME!) metal is more sensible, in that it has a foothold in reality. I've gone on record condemning Phil Collins on many occasions on these boards.

Are you kidding Heston? The uncoolest band I like is clearly KISS performing "Strutter."
