ade Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 They did indeed. at the Bowl I think. Miss Take, that's exactley what they do. Not sure about the Bowl Oogie, but they def. played at the Lido And for some of my useless trivia, they stayed at a hotel on the prom in Douglas in 1983 while rehearsing for Flick of the Switch. Amazing what you hear at gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deejay Denzel Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Dad rock, at it's finest! Someone like Fatboy Slim would be a tenth of the cost and would attract a lot more, the perception of visitors to the Island and their taste in music by government officials is as dated and mystical as Paul Daniels' piss.

Why would anyone want to watch some balding middle aged twerp playing records? The same reason a smaller number of people would be watching a bunch of old age twerps. I would rather watch someone that has had 6 top ten hits rather than whitesnakes 2 and, play a whole selction of songs from different artists rather than just whitesnake. Prancing Dad rockers is a bit of a dull sight, at least with Fatboy Slim you get an excellent stage and visual show, and often infuses live sections in his sets. Creamfields UK 2008 was superb.

Obviously there's a taste issue here, but if you think some dick playing records fits TT week better than a rock band like Whitesnake, you need your bumps feeling. Who wants a selection of songs from different artists? It's a gig not a wedding disco! And success wise, Whitesnake have had six top 10 albums, two top ten albums in the USA, one of them triple plantinum. You really don't want to get in a record sales pissing contest here. And prancing dad rockers rule, the Robert Plant gig sold out instantly, what more do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Cool, It's been a long time since a "Whitesnake v Fatboy Slim" event. For what it's worth, I'd probably go to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a funny feeling we'll be discussing something similar next year, and year after regarding who the DTL have booked for TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimcalagon Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 They should have booked the Prodigy - "rock" enough to attract the metal-lovers and "dance" enough to attract the people who think that playing someone else's records on stage makes you a musician.
