Symposium - Fairweather Friend

[MykeMetyll]

Amazing how one song can go from ska to punk to pop and back again.

[shambles007]

[weezilesq]

The best live band ever. Those little gigs where everyone is climbing over one another were freakin' awesome. Oh, to be a teenager again...

[lovebug1011]

[sandoval1904]

I miss the song fear of flying

[tweekin001]

That's a bad way to ruin gear when there'll only be 18,500 people watching your video in the future.

[Kevydee1982]

@tweekin001

whats a good way?

[tweekin001]

@Kevydee1982 Attaching IEDs to them and placing them in Guitar Center. I don't know. I have bad syntax, sue me.

[binstig]

@tweekin001 They had their success at the time. Let em enjoy it in peace! I think this was even a top 30 hit anyway.

[AKLPUNDERGROUND]

[YouKnowWhereThisEnds]

Two words to describe this bland bilge:

Public lice.

[febflower]

I saw a clip of this on something the other day and remember it from an indie club I used to go to years - absolutely brilliant, fantastic, just love this type of music even though I'm old now lol! It has a TUNE!!!

[hollium]

nvm the buzzcocks?

[8days8]

same here its good

[joeisaflyingfish]

saw a clip of this band on never mind the buzzcocks. so glad i decided to check them out :)

[SullenRiot01]

@joeisaflyingfish ... Me too ... about 3 minutes ago ... there really good :)

[TulwarKahn]

@joeisaflyingfish as did i

[markusfearn]

Remembering how good musis was back when this was out really shows you what a low ebb the music scene is suffering from at the moment.

[binstig]

but this is pretty unoriginal and generic of the time. if you look in the right places then you'll find great music from the last decade.

[YouFreddyTube]

need to look in the right places

[ckyable]

got loads of cds and live tracks of them,they were mental live bring them back!

[thomo1077]

Just found a 1997 copy of melody maker at work...

''best live band in the country''

x

[sehort]

They're gigs sure we're crazy - At the 100 Club in 1996 - it was chaos - the sound packed-up during their set - disgruntled fans started trashing the place & it ended with their gear getting trashed too i think!

[stelikesboobs]

This song is mega.

[pixiedancer]

happy days!!

[richardscunningham]

fuck me this song takes me back a bit

[LylaRox]

I miss them so much!!!! I am getting so nostalgic since it was them, Ash, and Oasis that really defined my adolescent years! They were so fun and I heard their gigs were crazy!!!

[gellycat]

Wow - these were the first band I ever saw live! :o)

[jjahastings]

Not the first I saw live but my first 'proper' gig. Opening for the Foo Fighters at the SB Empire! Happy days...

[gellycat]

Ahh that must have been great. :o) What year was that?

[69kipper69]

two of them are in hell is for heroes and yes the ginger one

[batkev]

carnt beat symposium. best band ever.

tho paper cuts is close.

an can download there album for free on there webpage.

[chrissams88888882]

Brilliant!! :)

[BADam4710]

My favourite story that got me into them I heard on the John Peel show that the lead singer got naked ata a pub gig just before they got big with this track, and started dancng nude on the bar so the landlord, not wanting to interupt the gig and grab him started spraying him with soda out of the hose to get him down!

[PeshwariNaan]

I don't remember that...

[BADam4710]

the mini-album was great, but the album wasn't great. they changed direction and tried to BE the smashing pumpkins, they even left the single inbetween time Average man, one of their best off the album and abandonned it such was their direction change, i did love them.

[noonez2001]

no way i remember seeing them in a gig @ the birmingham irish centre like 96-97ish, think i still have a cd somewhere 'why do i hate you'

[Britrock99]

God i miss em! If only they would reform !!!!!!!!

[Moosina]

I SO agree!

x Katie x

[Britrock99]

They are only in their 20's still so anything is possible ....

[Subfavscream]

So that means when i heard their first two albums they were like 8 or something? I had an albumn of theres over 10 years ago easy

[HitOrMiss5150]

Apparently they formed in '95 when they were all around 18 so they're around 30/31 now. Just look at the red-headed guy in that video. He looks about 12!

[candoduck]

wasnt the ginger kid in harry potter??

lol

[candoduck]

well 10 years ago i was going out drinking,and watching these live,,im still in my 20s,all be it late 20s and i certainly wasnt 8 when they formed,,i take it maths and common sense isnt your strong point
