• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Yea course mate 👌

You’ve probably heard the one where Keith Richards summoned Cable to his backstage lair after finding out that he’d committed the ultimate sin of breaking the pie crust on a shepherds pie 🤣

I’ll try and find the pic of them with Bowie. Basically they had a football team and the band / crew would play each other. Bowie lines up in full kit for the photo but did not play as his insurance would not allow it.

Np doubt Keith Richards told you this story personally though :lol:

No this is a well known tale which the welsh press picked up on years ago. Hell of a character was Stu, sadly his like of a party did it for him in the end.

Struggling to think of bands who improved after big label deals-arguably The Wedding Present but they did not last long on RCA or Island. REM were five albums in when signing to Warners. Literally sucked the life out of Kurt Cobain. New Order were rubbish after Factory collapsed.

It happens to bands who start on majors too look at Coldplay. Their first LP was great then came the pressure from record company heads to write hits. Travis too the same although they are back on an Indy label now I think. One of the very reasons Radiohead have been putting their own stuff out. Their record company were horrified when they heard Kid A.

Coldplay are a good example-Parachutes is great, Rush of Blood to the Head is OK (I like The Scientist of course) but then.....

Few get the leverage to do what they want-Radiohead, REM and to an extent U2 are exceptions.
