There were more than a few occasions on buzzcocks when lamarr crossed from banter to actual bitterness.

Funny character.

And on Shooting Stars.  He never seemed to like the "Fifties throwback Mark Lamarr" jokes.

Funny you should say that as it was a couple of people in the audience at the show I mentioned that were shouting that out and that's what changed his demeanour.  Wound him right up.  Truly one of TV's most unfunny, bitter little men.

I once went to a charity show compered by this twat....



He was combative with the audience from the start, and not in a funny way, but a "I'm better than you, you plebs" way.  Singularly unfunny, got heckled, threw his toys out of the pram and ended the show by singling out a woman who had light-heartedly heckled him a couple of times by saying nastily "and YOU..... (points), You're just a spiteful cunt" then walked off stage.

What a monumental bell end.

...and he's just been charged with common assault and false imprisonment. (Probably against a woman).  What a surprise.

Just to cheer you up, @Emp_Fab , they've closed the case against him - insufficient evidence!

Yeah, but the world now knows he’s (likely) a wife-beater.  Like countless other women, she probably got scared of testifying in court.

or....

He could be completely innocent and the victim of a vindictive harpie.

Either way, he’s still an arsehole.

There wasn't much need for shade on that occasion, as I recall - it absolutely lashed down for the entire day.

You must have been in a different milton keynes?

German thrash metal gods Kreator Liverpool (Royal Court? I forget) late '80s. 
Guitarist in response to singer being spat at 'Hey you f**kers, if you want to spit? Spit at me!'
Cue him disappearing in a hail of green phlegm that was literally dripping off him. Absolutely rank, there are some dirty bastards out there. 

Ah, Mille Petrozza!

Infamous for his audience salutations: "Ihr Penner!" (This is really hard to render well, perhaps: "You dipshits!")

They played 3 nights, it's possible for both to be true.

I know just thought it weird to suggest I was wrong, I was there, it was red hot.  Think I was on the saturday.

Oops, looks like my quoting went a bit wonky there! I meant it lashed it down at Milton Keynes for the Genesis Six of the Best Gig and it was your response to that that I was replying to. (Although rereading it now, I'm not sure it – my reply, that is – made much sense anyway.)

ISTR someone on here back in the Intermusic days saying they went to a filming of Buzzcocks and that Lamarr came across as a thoroughly unpleasant person.

I saw Bad News at Reading.

Truly hilarious from one end to the other (do hunt the boot) - the bottling level was truly surreal - they were pretty much wading in plastic at the end.

The heroes of the day though were Terraplane (forerunner of Thunder), when our still hairy singer caught a full bottle and foolishly took a swig (it was!).  This single act turned them from "who?" to "heroes" in a heartbeat.

Wasn't it Donington? Skip to around 7 minutes in for the throwing part.....

I think that's because he is.

A comedy night rather than a gig, at the Komedia in Brighton. There was a big bunch of blokes at the back who talked, really loudly, through every act. A few audience members told them to shut up, but they just carried on. You could see the performers were getting really pissed off with it too. Eventually the MC came out with "Those guys at the back, if you want to talk and catch up with each other, why don't you just fuck off to the pub next door? It's like you're paying to go into a brothel and then having a wank".

We were playing in a pub in Salford years ago nd a bunch of lads were in there with big mouths, the worst one being a chap of diminutive stature, at the end of a song he shouted “you’re fucking shit” our singer said “if you’re going to heckle at least have the balls to stand up and say it”. Didn’t go down too well....
