I’ve been meaning to sign up and get on here for ages so I thought i’d finally do it.

I’ve been listening to Therapy since just before Troublegum came out when my best friend at the time (sadly no longer with us) bought Pleasure death and upon hearing it thought something along the lines of “Christ! This is amazing!”

I can’t remember exactly how many times I’ve seen T? off the top of my head but it’s around 8 or 9 now, last time being Rock City the other night.

On the fave song front, it shifts around a bit but at the mo its a three way tie between Bad mother, Sister and If it kills me.

Other interesting bits; I met T? in A bar called Big Hands in Manchester back in May after the gig and by God, they were the coolest band I’ve have ever been fortunate enough to meet. I was too drunk to really remember how long I spent yaking (mainly to Andy and Neil but a bit with Martin and I said a brief hi to Michael) But it was long enough to cover everything from the gig they’d just played to Mike Portnoy, my band and my friend who first got me into T?. After chatting to Neil about my band he gave me his phone number to get the address for Sumo off him as at the time I didnt have a net connection. However,it was a bit later on that I was really overwhelmed by how cool T? are when Andy proposed a toast to my friend- I cant really describe what that meant to me.

So, great music and great guys making and playing it.

Wow, this is quite long! Sorry!

Hey Heysatan!

Bet’s there’s not many fans of other bands that could tell a story like that - can see why it would mean a lot.

Welcome to the boards!

Yeah i guess most couldn’t. Thats the story that stuck the most about meeting them, probably because of being older, a bit more worldly and thus able to converse with the guys. Oh and being legally able to drink and so the beer courage kicked in a bit. I had met them very briefly in 96 or 97 but there was a load of people out the back of the manchester uni after the guys had played so I didn’t really get a look in then, however I do remember Andy bringing a case of Becks out from the bus and declared “Help yourselves!” and on being asked simultaneoulsy where then new boy Graham was and why Martin hadn’t appeared yet Michael announced “Graham? hes on his knees!” Funny stuff eh?

Oh speaking of Martin, I read before about his ear. Man, thats bad. I was actually getting worried the other night in Nottingham because he wasn’t there and wondering what had happened. It’s not something I’d wish on anyone- I’m deaf in my right ear and have been since I was three, its not a good thing normally but for a musician?! I hope he gets well soon coz that cant be a good experience. I’d wish for broken bones (for me, not Martin, that be evil if I did that!) if I could get my hearing back.

It does have its good points with “selective hearing” in conversations I dont really want to have :) However, being right footed and playing a bass drum thats set off to my right can be a git. So I just bought a second. Ahh… drums

Anyway enough whisky fueled ramble, thanks for having me here.
