Discussion: Echo And The Bunnymen unite indeed !!!!! yeah i dunno i think the world of this band & their 'bunny' sound & to me it's kinda strange that they haven't reached & touched a wider spectrum of music lovers especially with the 1980's nostalga fad & the airwaves being re-graced with bands like The Cure, The Smiths & Joy Division as well as Echo & The Bunnymen you'd sort of assume that their music would have reached a whole generation of new listeners who'd be proud to carry the "bunnyman" membership card but who knows maybe they are lurking out there loitering in the shadows grinning & humming their favourite (bunnymen) tune >>By Helmet "...loitering in the shadows grinning & humming their favourite (bunnymen) tune" how'd you know...i thought i was alone "...All at sea again And now my hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain To bathe me again My ship's a sail Hear it's tender frame Screaming from beneath the waves Screaming from beneath your waves Screaming from beneath the waves Screaming from beneath the waves..." >>By giambotta No Giambotta, you aren't alone, I'm at least another one, and I think I speak for Helmet when I say he is, as well. But that's not very remarkable, 3 bunnymen fans... It's time to spread the love around! Step out from the shadows, and sing instead of hum! Yeah... >>By Urbane absolutely sir...united we sing!! >>By giambotta Saw Echo and the Bunnymen in 1981 and 1986. Missed the 1988 show that fell on my wedding anniversary. Saw Ian Mccolloch in 1992? and the Echo and the Bunnymen w/o Mccollochin 1992. Mccolloch may have played in Houston two other times in mid-90's. Thought the three Bunnymen shows were great. Mccolloch show was alright. The Bunnymen show w/o Mccolloch was the best show! Very psychedelic. Picked up two CDs with a total of 5 songs at the show. The 5 songs are great! I do not think the Bunnymen have been in Houston in the last thirteen years. Wig out. >>By headrush77 echo & the bunnymen are playing tomorrow night at The Fillmore in san francisco (just accross the bay from me here in oakland) dammit !!!!! what booking agent moron comes up with these MONDAY shows it's a killa on da workin' man but hey how often do the b'men come to your town ??? not too often so......... i guess i'll be draggin'-ass at work on tuesday morning >>By Helmet Lately, I have been listening to "Reverberation" by the Echo and the Bunnymen without Ian McColloch. An excellent LP just as good as the other Bunnymen LPs, just different. On "Reverberation", the lead vocalist gives the Bunnymen a '60's psychedelic feel to it, while the Bunnymen with Ian's vocals has an '80's psychedelic feel. >>By headrush77 Ocean Rain is a beautiful LP. I'm afraid the others didn't match up. >>By sloth For some reason Ocean Rain just never appealed to me... But most of the others did. Man, I wish people came to Canada more often. I get so envious hearing about so many people who've seen them live when I haven't. Anyways, any breaking news on the Bunnymen front? >>By Urbane The first few times I listened to "Ocean Rain", I thought it was OK. and Iliked about three songs on the LP. I set it down for about a year. Recently I have been playing it a lot and discovered how great the LP is. When I first acquired it, I guess I was expecting it to be like its early music. Check it out. >>By headrush77 I like Ocean Rain a lot. Some of the songs take multilple listenings to get into, but I really like it now. In general this is a really fantastic band that I wish I could've seen live very much. >>By snoockerdoodle Echo and the Bunnymen are on tour. I saw them live June 18th, 2006 in Houston. I almost missed them. Excellent concert. Sounding better then ever. Always puts on a great concert. I heard all the favorites from their first LP to the last LP. >>By headrush77 I almost missed the June 18th show. I only found out about the show about 25 hours before the concert. >>By headrush77 well echo & the bunnymen are coming to a small field just north of where i am surrounded no doubt by a gang of bagpipers & fiddlers for half an hour or so i just found out yesterday so i looked up the tickets for the WHOLE event are £40 i figure thats a bit too steep to see a band for half an hour although it IS meant to be for the whole two-day event but nevermind i only have crocodiles so i can't really say i *deserve* to see them live at all as i probably won't have heard all the songs they play but still the chances of a band coming within 40 miles of me is pretty unlikely so it's always good if you actually like the band oh well maybe i'll grab a pair of binoculars & head up a hill & look down on the stage & hope i can hear the music as well mucho annoying........... >>By Tchock and my son will be in the crowd watching them in the field! >>By hiflydi btw i'm in hiding ................. >>By hiflydi well i missed them.... :(:(:( Damn the Student life.............. :(:( >>By Tchock Of course, they never come to Canada. Too cold, I bet. >>By Urbane just got Ocean Rain today on CD - with a whole lot of bonus tracks on it i love the version of villiers terrace which is on it & i LOVE ocean rain itself & nocturnal me & silver.............. & them all really !!! >>By Tchock
