Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Yes i do think Mick put his priorities else where. Thinking about it I get a feeling Mick wants to move with the music scene in a very dignified way I do think hes not comfortable in later years with the front man role to a band. Which is a shame as the last BAD tour caused lots of excitement and personally i would love to hear the original line up create a new album.
But hes contributed so much to us all i say good luck to him for whatever path he chooses even if it is a more back seat role.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
What would really cap it off for me is a Sound System type release for BAD. From what I remember, its harder for that to happen because there is now laws with sampling so they have some copyright issues with remastering and re-releasing the material so I really doubt it would happen. It is something cool to think about though. It could be all the original BAD albums, maybe the BAD II stuff, the demos like all the Joe and Mick stuff from No. 10, a full Bradford 1988 gig, and some goodies like pins and maybe the BAD belt buckle.NoMoreHugh wrote:Yes i do think Mick put his priorities else where.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Oh definately i agree with that. That comes across very clear on all the youtube footage. You can really enjoy something and still reflect that maybe a more dignified role is appropriate. I hope he doesnt feel that way as i do believe that they exceeded expectation.Heston wrote:I saw them 3 times on the reunion tour and he looked like he was bloody loving it every time!NoMoreHugh wrote:I get a feeling Mick wants to move with the music scene in a very dignified way I do think hes not comfortable in later years with the front man role to a band
So what do you reckon is the reason for the reluctance for a front man role for the last few years ? It seems to me that you have Tony James waiting in the wings as well as the BAD boys but i think the desire does not seem to be there for Mick.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Ah yes, that is a great one. I dove a bit more into the reggae stuff and I realized something about it. BAD got the idea to drop samples in between songs from reggae albums. Like Mikey Dread has an album called African Anthem. After most of the songs, theres a little voice sample that will play. So on Megatop, thats most likey the reason for the 30 seconds songs in between the actual songs.Heston wrote:Never knew that sample in Battle of All Saints Road came from Mikey...

As much as I'd love to finally see a legacy #10 come out, what I'd also like to see a B.A.D. II reunion, now that would blow me away

I've just realized after all these years of loving BAD, I have never heard Greg, Leo or Dan speak. No interviews, nothing.
