RIP New Musical Express

Last print edition of the NME

When I were a lad, there was nothing cooler that walking round with a copy of the NME stuffed into the back pocket of your loon pants. Wasn't too keen on Melody Maker, as I suspected it was read by...Jazz fans (nice). Sounds was for Heavy Metal gonzos.

All pretentious nonsense, but good in its day. What did you read?

 

I read MM and Sounds but later on that seemed to be full of crap by that berk Bushell. I did read NME but it started to grate frankly. I made the mistake of reading one of Tony Parsons novels once. Jeez what a load of sad sub Nick Hornby wannabe crap it was. Total rubbish.

 

I was a Melidy Maker reader - where else could you buy a pair of loons for 67/6?

 

Sounds for me
Whippet fanciers was where I got all my wall posters from

 

Don't forget the denim bum-freezer with big fur collar My God, we had style...

 

We did didn’t we? @Terrordales still has, but I’ve lost mine

 

No votes for Jackie yet? where's @Barry Haynes gone?

 

It was total pretentious crap, wasn't it? I could never stand Charles Shaar Murray. What a w@nker.

 

He's just taking down his David Cassidy posters.

 

Razzle for me

 

I was more of a Liberace fan

 

Didn't know you read that sort of thing

Or did you mean Razzle from Hanoi Rocks ?

 

Bet you’ve still got your Afghan coat haven’t you Bern?

 

No - but only because it ran away

 

I’d run from the smell of patchouli too

 

Nooo! It's what girls smell of.

 

I had a jacket like this as well :
