revolution saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Share Posted 30 March, 2011 Remember seeing them at the Guildhall years ago. I even splashed out on the single Blue Tonic before the 1st album was released and I hardly ever buy singles. At the time I thought they'd be huge but it never quite happened.

scott_saints Posted 30 March, 2011 Share Posted 30 March, 2011 Easily one of my favourite bands. Gotta try to interest someone to go with me now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real tones fan wouldn't bother with Slight return Slight Return is a good track but yeah, it's the only one I will skip every time now! Was listening to their cover of "Sail On Sailor" the other day. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 30 March, 2011 Share Posted 30 March, 2011 Slight Return to this day is probably still my all time favourite tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 30 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 30 March, 2011 Never heard of them...are they any good? Couple of tracks... Their first single, Bluetonic and a personal fave of mine, Sleazy Bed Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 30 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 30 March, 2011 and most fans fave track, tho to be honest im sick to death of hearing it... Slight Return http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIzcRqyXGdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 30 March, 2011 Share Posted 30 March, 2011 Bagsy in the front seat with Baj! Mark Morriss isn't a racist, you're confusing him with Dune. Are You Blue Or Are You Blind? is their best tune. I'll go to the Brook gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChudSaint Posted 3 April, 2011 Share Posted 3 April, 2011 Didn't realise there so many Tones cross Saints fans out there.... Seen them a dozen or so times and a band that always been massively underrated, would put them up with Teenage Fanclub in that category.... Already got tickets for the first night in Yeovil as it's closest to us in Devon. Trying to persuade the wife it's worth and overnighter in Brum for the last gig but may have settle for the penultimate in Bristol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 3 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 3 April, 2011 Chud. You and the missus are welcome to crash at mine if you want. Its Eastleigh and then head to Yeovil next day. Not much time saving I guess but might be enough not to have fork out for hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSaint Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 and most fans fave track, tho to be honest im sick to death of hearing it... Slight Return Their most identifiable track, but I'd have thought pretty much all fans would be sick of this one TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much time saving I guess but might be enough not to have fork out for hotel. Thanks for the offer Baj but it will be a hotel in Yeovil coupled with copious amounts of alcohol. It'll be our first chance to get away after have our 3rd child a few weeks ago, Yeovil's only about an hour away for us and with it being a Saturday will try and make a weekend of it if babysitters allow..... Not sure the wife would be so enthusiastic if i told her we were crashing at some 'internet stranger's' house, no offence, sure it's lovely... For the record, this is my favourite Bluetones track (no idea if the video will come up, i'm more of a lurker than a poster but couldn't help but share some Bluetones love...)

fish fingers Posted 6 April, 2011 Share Posted 6 April, 2011 Had a pint in the Soul Cellar before the game last night and noticed that Mark Morriss is doing a solo and DJ set in there next week. I've been to a couple of his gigs before and as well as his own material he always chucks in a few Bluetones songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 7 June, 2011 Share Posted 7 June, 2011 Their most identifiable track, but I'd have thought pretty much all fans would be sick of this one TBH. Never. Its a great tune. My best mate at the time was a metal head who hated all things in the chart no matter how good it might have been. The kind that instantly started disliking the likes of KoRn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson etc... the minute they seemed to get a bit of cross over success. I played Slight Return to him and he loved it though. Sadly he died a few years ago at the tender age of 21 because he turned in to a very silly man but the song reminds me of growing up with him and brings back some very funny, happy memories.

Baj Posted 7 June, 2011 Author Share Posted 7 June, 2011 So for all those that bought birmingham tickets thinking it was their last gig, its not (as fish fingers has said above), so have just bought 2 tickets to SBE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
