I tried not to be too harsh on Boy O Boy/Fighting Gravity, but I believe that my take on their history was fairly accurate. Yup, back in the day, they had an OUTSTANDING live act that I went to see as many times as possible. I think their biggest mistake early on was hooking up with that DMB producer, who started significantly modifying their sound on Forever = 1 Day. They were on their way out of ska long before they signed with Mercury.<br /><br />Yes, I would see a BOB reunion show as well . . . just so long as they played some of their early stuff.<br /><br />Thanks again!HFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020353895605709934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559050863064711508.post-56963782419959520302013-12-27T19:02:03.532-05:002013-12-27T19:02:03.532-05:00I used to follow these guys around in the late 90&...I used to follow these guys around in the late 90's and early 2000's as well. I agree with you that they lost their way when they dropped the ska elements. It was those elements that made for a phenomenal live show that you would no doubt leave having a great time. I think if they would went with that sound with Mercury that they would have made it more mainstream. I remember hearing 'real big fish' on the radio thinking holy crap FG made it! Only to be disappointed that it wasn't them. <br /><br />At any rate, they should get the boys back together for a big anniversary tour. I'm sure they would do pretty well.<br /><br />Great article.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807667224073384305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559050863064711508.post-75316563853260527992013-06-04T23:39:22.526-04:002013-06-04T23:39:22.526-04:00Thanks for posting this!Thanks for posting this!xtimmyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887205335843471206noreply@blogger.com
