Och Aye Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Fs 63! Always a couple of Buzzcocks songs on my play list. Great songs with a bit of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sad one. One of my favourites. Saw him tour solo and of course with Buzzcocks. So many to choose from... In tribute... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnyTJS Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Aye, sad to see him gone. First saw Buzzcocks at an Anti-Nazi League rally in Manchester in '77. Next around '79 at a club in Sheffield and Joy Division were the support. Last saw 'em maybe 15 years back. Pete had put on the pounds - enjoying himself, I hope. Loads of good memories with Pete Shelley connections. Early Buzzcocks using a riff that I guess had been left them by Howard Devoto - he used it again with Magazine's 'Shot By Both Sides': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7_hYWbJDtc Pete solo - colliding with early '80s sequencing; still toe-tapping though:Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HwmO_GZfzI Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
