They had 2 good years, 94 and 95, but unfortunately they kept going for another 10 or 15 years after that.
The Prodigy were incredible.
As regards these gigs, I think there'll be loads of different supports over the dates.
Almost like a mini festival.
Maybe one or two second on the bill, that do most dates.
Johnny Marr perhaps
Both the brothers, but Noel particularly seems to have championed up and coming bands as well as established ones, with support slots over the years, so I could really see The Reytons getting the nod for one or two.
I could be tempted by one if I knew they were on the bill, but it'd be just pot luck picking the right date, when they go on sale on Saturday so I doubt I'll try for tickets tbh.
Also, the pricing might be a bit off-putting.
I've seen £100-£140 mentioned as starting prices.
To be honest,I've always suspected this 'brotherly rift' was a little less of a rift than what was portrayed.Nearly 20 years of pent up demand with little digs and jibes along the way to keep stoking the interest fire means that they will earn an unbelievable amount of money out of this.The promoters will basically have asked them to name their price. I agree with Great Fire......they had 2 good years.They would not have maintained their relevance for much longer had they carried on.They would not have been in such demand to this day had they carried on.Audiences always need to require more than what is provided to keep relevant. I was never a fan other than some of their 4 chord anthems are great to sing along to when you've had a few too many.Other than that,to me,they just resonate a group of lads bouncing around town 'on the lash,in their Stone Island gear just,well,.............basically being lads!
