They are still a great band and have been around a long time in oneform or another....
I used to go and see them when they were called Terraplane - back in 85/86

Great band![/i][/list]

I have always lived in London and to be fair I have always lived to go and see bands play - it was pretty much the most important thing for me over the years...
I started when I was 14 (1979) and am still doing it
During the mid 1980s I could be at the Marquee several times a week if there were a lot of bands I liked playing.....

I was looking through all my concert ticket stubs the other day and there are a lot of them........

Seems a lot more expensive to do these days though which is a shame

My dad is a huge Thunder fan, so I've went to see them a few times when they play Glasgow. Good live band, not something I listen to often though.

always liked Thunder, nothing flashy or gimmicky, just good, solid rock music. Danny is looking a bit like a middle aged hairdresser, but then, he is middle aged! still sounds the part and that's the main thing.

I liked Thunder back in the day (oh the shame, heh) but the last two times I've seen them in recent years they were distinctly average - guitars sounded awfull (like a DI'd guitar) and they looked disinterested.

:twisted:

I saw them way back as terraplane as well when i went with a mate to see a non vegetarian bread based product (i'm feeling cryptic :) ) - and saw them after backstreet symphony which IMHO is a great blues rock album, although i was never a massive fan of the guitar sound...

You should be ashamed

I'd forgotten what a bloody great song "Love Walked In" is - and what a great singer Danny Bowes is.

I too go back to the Terraplane days (including that awful period when they went Britpop, had short hair and went on Saturday morning kiddies' shows), but I never actually bought any Thunder stuff, for some reason.

The new track is OK, but it does sound a bit too much like the blander end of Bad Company's repertoire.
