Wall of Mouths

A friend of mine had recorded a T? demo from Dave Fanning’s radio show many a year ago and myself and a load mates became instant T? fans. The demo had (I think) early versions of Dancin’ with Manson, Innocent X and Die Laughing, which Fanning called Realityfuck (hence the username :D ). Actually, Meat Abstract might have been on the show, I haven’t listened to that tape in years. Anyway, the moment was about 14 yrs ago, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, listening to good tunes!

I was already into metal listening to bands like Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Pantera - stuff like that - was still at high school and had fuck all money other than spending money.

My best mates sister was a few years older than us and had a fairly big CD collection - we were pretty obsessed by music by this time, so I used to buy packs of tapes and me and my mate would sit in her room looking through all her discs and copying what we liked for ourselves…

We found this CD with a picture of a guy wearing an all in one suit with his head in a dustbin - we had to listen to it and the rest is history!

That was a couple of weeks after Troublegum came out. I got my first CD player soon after and the first CD’s i ever bought was Pleasure Death and Soundgardens Superunknown!

My buddy Julie (black_star) heard T? on the radio back in the glorious days of February ‘94. She bought a ticket to their gig and on a whim at the last minute I got one too. I completely fell for them during that gig so bought Troublegum, closely followed by their back catalogue, and it’s gone on from there. 10 years, blimey. :D

I saw them on tv in 1994. It was a live recording made at the Pinkpop festival. I still have it on tape.

moment: it must have been @ reading92
song: “teethgrinder” for the 1st time on radio DRS. :cool:

I went to see Babes In Toyland at The Mean Fiddler in August 1991 during my summer holiday in London and was blown away by their support act, T?. Got me the Babyteeth album back home, got finally addicted to their music and still am.

my sister saw them in Belfast around 92/93 and made this mix tape with Primal scream, david Bowie and then a live version of Teethgrinder!!!AMAZIN…

Back during 1994 I used to take the piss out of my mates listening to ‘shitty heavy metal’ all the time. Then one day on the school bus my mate forced me to listen to his Walkman. He played me ‘Knives’ and I thought, thats actually quite good.

Then I bought the Trigger Inside single and really got into Therapy? and rock music in a big way!

I saw Nowhere on MTV the first time it didn’t get me, but when i saw the video more and more i bought the cd. 1 month later i saw them in Utrecht ( Holland ) and i was complete lost in the world of T?

Are more wombles from the troublegum time (or before that) in here or after this period? I think someone did made a poll some time ago … but don´t know :(

just interessting question for me!

It was about a year and a half ago that a friend suggested i learn Jam Jar Jail so we could try and cover it. I liked the song so i borrowed suicide pact, initially i was a bit disappointed that each tune wasn’t as catchy a JJJ but after listening to it more and realising that this is the most introvert, anti-social album i’ve ever heard (which is a good thing :D )it just clicked that Therapy wern’t always about catchy tunes and now i love the fact that each album has a (slightly) different style.

Enough brown-nosing from me :o

I’m surprised I’m actually one of the most recent fans. I became a fan in the summer of 1998, the semi-detached days.

i would be going the the Lowlands festival in Holland a few weeks later and T? were to play. I already knew Diane, Stories and the moest recent single Church of noise. I lent Infernal love and S-D at the library, taped them (oh… the nostalgia). I listened to it over and over to prepare for the show in august at the festival.

well, that show was so awesome (it’s been bootlegged so some of you would know it) and thought they were good, but great. Until I was in the library again some time later and saw they had a new T? release.

Suicide pact - you first. From then on: Fan for life

Title: First moment

I was sitting on the soda one night watching MTV when I was about 14 and Nowhere came on. I decided that moment it would be THE band for me and told my mum who was sitting next to me at the time so. She was very polite about it.;

I have not looked back since.

Watching the video for teethgrinder on raw power (rock programme, used to be on itv at 3am. Was originally watching it for guns n roses. T? opened the the door for me for alt rock!

I think the gig at the Turbinenhalle is still my worst T? show (not a bad show, just compared to the others).

At least there was Skunk Anansie. ;) But You’re right. Of all the many times I’ve seen the guys live, that gig was the worst one. Well, it was the Infernal Love tour, and Andy looked totally stoned on stage. There worlds between that and the next tour, Semi-Detached in Frankfurt, when the guys rocked their asses off, Andy did some stage-diving and stuff… :)
