There are so many bands that I've really liked who only lasted a few years.

To have a band I truly love to be going on for damn near 40 years and STILL producing really excellent music...  :o

If NMA finished tomorrow, we've already had far more than anyone could have expected.

Still, a few more years would be nice, eh?   ;)

And this thread proves why I have it better than you lot.

I have entire New Model Army albums that I have never listened to. When the band does call it a day (and it will happen), you folks are finished. But me? I have "new" New Model Army material to listen to.

My advice: when NMA release their next album, buy it but don't listen to it. Set it on your shelf with the other albums and be patient and wait. Then when the band dissolves, it won't be so bad...you still have an album's worth of material unheard.

Wow I've read some dumb things in my life, but that has to be the most stupid piece of advice I've ever heard. Or rather not heard, as I've put on the shelf with the other astounding pieces of his "wisdom" and will return to them only after Whirlwind / Space dissolves...

Good sense often makes no sense to people whom lack sense.

I am the only one here who will not be gutted when NMA break up. Why? Because I will have "new" unheard material still to discover.

Whirlwind/Space, I think you are missing the point slightly, it is the gigs and gatherings, the anticipation and planning, the hugs and kisses, to faces and places old and new that I will miss the most.

It will end, so my challenge to you is to come on over before it's too late and we will look after you and make you feel welcome; conversely If they happen to go to the Big Apple then make yourself known and we shall have a drink and a dance together and you can show us around.

Cheers

1. it is the gigs

1. Don't you own a DVD player?

I'm not going across the pond.
1) I'm an American, we are like Kings -- you come here to see us,
2) we have everything here in America, no need to visit some B, C, or D-level nation.

Hmmm, this one is interesting. If NMA play New York would I go? Yes. But would I make myself known to some of you who would venture to the States to see New Model Army perform there? Well, what good would that do? Share a drink? Hey, I'm not a weakling, I don't drink. Share a dance? Uhh, I like to dance but New Model Army is not exactly dance music. Baryshnikov himself couldn't dance to "Ballad." Show you folks around New York? That has possibilities. That's always fun. But where would I take you? Some of you I'd like to take to the top of the Empire State Building so I could push you off. Some of you I'd like to take to a music studio so you can hear me play my guitar to "Inheritance" and you can 100% hear that I am right - I did improve the song. I made "Inheritance" a better song.

But, alas, meeting me would be anti-climactic. You'll just see that I was right about all my claims. You would feel bad for doubting me. I don't want to make anybody feel bad so it's best when I go see NMA in New York and you are there....it's best I remain in the shadows. Like Orson Welles in THE THIRD MAN. Isn't this the way you want to always think of me?

Oh dear. Another topic hijacked and polluted with Space debris. Personally rather than be taken to a studio to listen to you murder the song "Inheritance", I rather be one of those you take up the Empire State building.
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

And, once again, someone (jc, in this case) puts out the hand of friendship, despite so much past awfulness from Space-y Boy, and is met with arrogant and antagonistic nonsense.

I despair, truly.

I am sure jc has a sense of humor. You should ask him if you can borrow it for a few days. See what having one would be like.
