Millsy …re-trumpets- massive Love Ranch track, the sweating leather trousers and waistcoat crew lapped it up

(aside from it not being remotely Cream/'Crasher, feel I’ve partially contributed to the guilty pleasures aspect of this thread now)

Unbroken1 My mate always rated Fun City over Love Ranch…. Reckons it was nuts.

Unbroken1 I worked (briefly) in Vinyl Rhythm Chelmsford and we used to shift a ton of Tomahawk Records stuff.

Dan …tbh, only went a few times. Played at Maximus a bit around that time and was curious to see what it was like when it was rammo’d 😂

Dan what year was that? (Not that I would have seen you as I always in the other half of the shop buying old hardcore and jungle stuff

Saw the Judge absolutely tear up the Oxford Brookes Student Union in 1999.

HUGE night!

Dan Mr C sang on all the embarrassing songs tbf.
Exhibit A:

It could be worse - he could have been Sven Vath.

I saw this posted on a facebook group recently and christ alive it’s one of the worst things music-related I’ve ever seen and heard. The guy’s moving like he’s holding one in and the tune is all sorts of wrong… it’s like anti-music.

It’s difficult to imagine anyone took any pleasure in this whatsoever, whether guilty or otherwise.

One of my first nights out back in Blighty after living in the US for 12yrs was seeing Judge Jules and his ragamuffin band playing in Nuneaton. Trumpet made an appearance. There were 2 pint beers available. I questioned my life choices.

Dan that was after the days I used to go there, I was at uni in 96, so was too skint to buy a load of vinyl anymore!

Dan

RichM The hardcore side was fucking nuts…. The Ship at lunchtime was handy.

Unbroken1 sleeveless shirts

I did always wonder about these. Do we think this was some woeful faux pass by a paid stylist, or was this a personal fashion choice? Either way, who the fuck looked in the mirror, and thought ’perfect, this’ll have Redford, Dean, Grant and McQueen shitting their sartorial tweeds’.

That was when everyone knew Gatecrasher had jumped the shark I think: when they installed Judge Jules as resident (they did actually have a decent resident, in Ashley Casselle)
