yoda-jag Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Spotted this: the new homepage pic for GUN. HERE There are a couple more of interest in their photo's section on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Here are a few more of the (sadly now gone) Jags tribute at Schipka Pass, off the Gallowgate. Clicky for piccies I wonder if the Gun photo is faked at all - the street name is spelled wrong "Skipka".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapiti Jag Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Not faked, see: Title: St Andrews Market Place | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Url: For some reason this thread made me go and do a bit or research on the old place. Here are some links which are worth reading if you're interested. I've been down there a few times and never once realised that it used to go right under London Road!

NZ Jag Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I'd be very surprised if Joolz and Dante are Thistle fans. Alan Thornton, their original drummer, is a big Jags fan tho'. Edited August 4, 2010 by NZ Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggyman Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Would doubt very much that Toby Jepson (singer) is a Jags fan i think iirc he comes from Scarborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Good finds there Kapiti Jag I'd be very surprised if Joolz and Dante are Thistle fans. Alan Thornton, their original drummer, is a big Jags fan tho'. For some reason, I have a feeling the brothers are of the green persuasion, but possibly Alan converted them before he left Gun (again) Would doubt very much that Toby Jepson (singer) is a Jags fan i think iirc he comes from Scarborough. Toby left a couple of months ago - Dante is the new singer. Hence why the new Gun pics show only the two brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Skwerr Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 As Yoda says - good finds, Kapiti Jag, and very interesting. I particularly liked - "Dick" Barton sponsor of the less than legendary women's football team the Lesbian Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKennan Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've known Joolz since the days of Blind Allez. I saw him in most rawk pubs around the city centre. I never saw him at Firhill. Perhaps T Cramer Esq of Auckland might shed some light on this mystery as he's also something of an antique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get my wife to type this for me, as it's difficult to type with my poor old wizened, arthritic fingers. As I suspect you know, young McKennan, the reason that you've never seen the guitar playing lad Joolz at Firhill is, as someone else has already suggested, that he probably lends his support to the green and white mob from the East End.

KAWB Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Toby should stick with reforming Little Angels, actually they were pretty awful, forget that idea. Question, who adds new graffiti to Schipka Pass as I'm suprised no old firm fans have taken it upon themselves to write over the top of it?

McKennan Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Talking of 1980s bands and singers, I'm sure I've seen Gary Danza around Partick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Gall Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Talking of 1980s bands and singers, I'm sure I've seen Gary Danza around Partick. Is he any relation to Tony "Taxi" Danza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicky for piccies I wonder if the Gun photo is faked at all - the street name is spelled wrong "Skipka".... Can't see it being a fake as there are were a number of pictures taken .

Camallain Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Now that Dante has been confirmed as the new lead singer GUN have announced the first gigs with the new line up. They will be playing the O2 ABC in Sauchiehall Street on the 6th of December, tickets only £10.00 They have also made a demo of Seraphina with Dante on vocals available to download for free from here: Seraphina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camallain Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Would doubt very much that Toby Jepson (singer) is a Jags fan i think iirc he comes from Scarborough. You are correct, he does come from Scarborough. I was actually at Toby's last gig (although I didn't realise that at the time) at Rock Radio's Two Rivers Rock Festival in Paisley.
