'Simply lethal' just about covers it, along with the Smiths comparison. I hope you get the chance to see Suede again; I'm glad the trip/expense/baked beans diet for the next six months was worth it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />RickRick Burinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881210028902623964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246324592600373028.post-39441731510925533252011-05-26T01:22:05.696+01:002011-05-26T01:22:05.696+01:00I was there for all 3 shows. And after they were ...I was there for all 3 shows. And after they were done all I could think was "WHY did I not get tickets to the Dublin shows?!?!" (Because I'm near broke, of course, and flew to London from NY to see the Brixton shows, with money I didn't quite have.)<br /><br />They were simply lethal all 3 nights. I thought they would be great, but they went way past my expectations. God, I hope I get another chance to see them, but they never come to the US, unfortunately. <br /><br />And it's great to read your article and see that others out there get it. Suede are THE band of the 90s. What the Smiths were to the 80s. I still never understand how people go on about Oasis vs. Blur as best britpop band ever, not even mentioning Suede.erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246324592600373028.post-91582045078664828892011-05-22T19:52:13.082+01:002011-05-22T19:52:13.082+01:00Hi Matu.

I spent quite a bit of my teenage years sucking my cheeks in and pretending to be Brett... I never quite had those cheekbones!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RickRick Burinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881210028902623964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246324592600373028.post-86135853056760090092011-05-22T18:25:00.329+01:002011-05-22T18:25:00.329+01:00thank you for these!!! so spot on. we were there t...thank you for these!!! so spot on. we were there too for thu/fri nights and honestly i've never experienced live gigs quite like these two - from the word go the atmosphere was warm and excited, audience united and mesmerised... and suede was amazing. amazing.<br />i first saw suede 1995 at 19, in Croydon, and fell in love with dog man star. it has always stayed as one of my favourite albums ever, and after friday night i feel that this 'first love' is still very much alive.... :)<br />(i'm just looking at a photo of a 20 year old me trying to look like brett - chopped my hair short like his, dyed it black etc etc - sweet!! and i'm a girl.)matuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350107662554122729noreply@blogger.com
