Re: Diane in General Therapy? Topics
I read at some point that one of Andy’s friends had been attacked which made him want to cover the song… dunno if that’s true or not. The single royalties went to rape charities I think too.

Re: 30 Seconds in General Therapy? Topics
30 sec has some of the lyrics from Human Mechanism repeated in it doesnt it? ‘I can screw my head back on’ etc. Always thought that was interesting for some reason. I like the whole album but have to defend Epilepsy, it seems to get slagged off a bit, its not my fave but I do think its in the classic T? killer opening track tradition, its a pretty weird song, hard to pin down really… also love the bit where Fyfe’s drums come back in, really manic drum fill… rocking!

Re: I finally picked up High Anxiety… in General Therapy? Topics
Someone on another thread said there hadnt been too much development between Shameles and HA, which to some extent I’d agree with. Having said that HA has a bit more variety on it with heavy stuff, poppy stuff and general T? goodness. But I have a little voice in my head telling me the next one is going to be even better… they hadnt been with Neil that long when they did HA and I think once they’re really up and running they will produce a really imopressive album… I’d love to hear another one that is totally unique and stands out from all their other albums, having it’s own sound and feel. But I know whatever they do I’ll love it anyway!

Re: andy cairns solo album? in General Therapy? Topics
I fMr Cairns had free reign to do whatever he liked and indulge himslf it would be great… but then hopefully that’s kinda what T? are doing anyway… having said that Andy has said that if the other members of T? had no input then all his songs would end up sounding like The Ramones…

Re: Graham, Neil or Fyfe? in General Therapy? Topics
Here is my interesting T? drummer-related story. Loved Fyfe, he was a big part of why I ended up loving the band so much. Mid-late 90’s though, my second favourite drummer, with a very crisp and original style, was Cable’s drummer Mr Neil Cooper… So imaging my delight when my favourite band seemingly randomly hooked up with my 2nd favourite drummer… ahhh! I told lots of people who weren’t interested. And now I’ve told all of you!
Is it true Graham is related to Ronan Keating? If it is I’m not surprised T? never really mention it… though maybe they could have reached a whole new market supporting Boyzone… ‘hey kids, this one’s called Neck Freak…’

Re: Guest appearances in General Therapy? Topics
Alan, could be wrong but I think Andy did backing vocals on Jonestown, ie “Your the jesus that didn’t get nailed”, quite a Cairns-type lyric really. i actually quite like the t? remix of that song when in the right mood.

Guest appearances in General Therapy? Topics
Title: Guest appearances
Hello, long time listener, first time caller, and all that jazz.
Since I just signed on thought I’d better throw in a new topic, probably been done before but I was listening to Get ur Groove on, the wildhearts song, yesterday, whats the best track a therapy? member has guest-appeared on? Always had a soft spot for Jonestown Mind by The Almighty actually.
