[kj] new topic-opener any bets?

[Neil Perry]

Kazoo..?? Which rare unreleased version do you have?
All I can hear is that delightfully abrasive Geordie riff.

They opened with The Hum at the Forum in 2008 and I thought it fell a bit
flat. Wanted them to
roar out of the traps but instead they sort of wandered out with their
slippers on.

They should open with a frigging new song if they have the balls!

Am I in a minority thinking Asteroid is frankly bollocks? Don't understand
the excitement this
song seems to generate.
