What a great band and I love that song, I have liked these for years and have all their albums, I might even go for the remastered special editions

I have never seen them live and that will probably never happen

Ive always loved THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN throughout their career and have most of their albums. Im also fortunate to have seen them "live" on the rollercoaster tour that also featured My Bloody Valentine and Blur on the bill.
It has been very quiet since they "reformed"....I heared through friends they were outstanding at the MERA LUNA fest in Germany a few years back. I looked on their website and the band are playing a few US dates soon. It would be nice to hear some new material.
Favourite album? difficult choice....just gone for "AUTOMATIC"

^^^ Wow! That must have been great to see them live with My Bloody Valentine and Blur!! I'd love to see The J & M C live even if they are 20 years older.

Touring the UK this year, 3 dates only and tickets for Manchester £50+ at the moment so won't be going for that one..

 

[LOU/REALM]

....Its great that they are back on the scene.....but 50 quid?...ouch. I must start playing some of their albums again

Saw them on last reunion tour in London. They were excellent. Not a massive fan but Munki is a great album. Dad's going to see them.
