Glad you had a chav-tastic time

I saw them in Budapest earlier this year at the Sziget festival and they were easily the highlight of the whole week. Absolutely brilliant.

Suggs was laughing as they said they'd stayed on stage longer than they intended and had run out of songs. I think they enjoyed it as much as the crowd did...

Really? I would have rather have been a smart suit wearing ska fan in 79 than one of the great unwashed greebos.

saw them in cardiff on monday, the new stuff sounded good, but the older stuff was just excellent, good mixed audience too, some mohicans, some very well heeled rude boys and lots of office parties.

Have always been as far as I concerned, I guess you are a fan judging by your post and you have just confirmed my suspicions

So is a band's motivation entirely dicated by its majority fanbase as far as you're concerned?

[Bomber Denton]

This thread has taken an odd turn.

I can't really understand someone calling Madness 'chav' nor do I condone another comment made on this thread.

Madness were a band born out of the ska revival, seven in members and the vast majority of songs were their own work.
They were pioneers in reinventing ska with their own twist, at the start of the scene, not on the bandwagon like some bands.
I have got over 10,000 records and CDs, not that it makes me right but I reckon out of that collection Madness have a valid contribution to popular music.

It would be far more chav to pay a huge some of money for a ticket to see Led Zep just because it is the ticket of fashion, a bit like those numpties that pay over list for cars.
