Fad Gadget (Page 1 of 2)

I know "Lady Shave" and "Coitus Interruptus"and both are quite good IMO. Any other tracks to check out?

Love Parasite is pretty good, if I recall.

Ricky's Hand and State Of The Nation

'life on the line' is all got from fg and i like it.

It was on the Exciter tour 2001, I saw them both in Copenhagen. It was my first encounter with FG, and I really liked it. Then he died

[quote=Techn

no, I don`t think so

Arch Of The Aorta is also one of his finest moments, almost monumental track.

one of my favs! in top ten perhaps..though don't know which the other nine are

from all the above mentioned tunes i think that played 'ricky's hand' the most. that one makes everyone crazy on the dancefloor. fav tunes are the box and back to nature. for those who don't know the music, this is a good release to check

saw FG at the exciter tour..that was just around a year before frank tovey died.

Thanks for your suggestions, have been checking out their stuff. So-so, not bad, but IMO, something's missing.

As my favourite FG song I have to recommend "The Ring". It's on the "GAG" record.
Very "poppy" song with beautiful chorus. Tip!!

Also like the music of Fad Gadget very much.
As a long time depeche MODE lover, it was only a question of time to get in touch with his music.
But I bought all his albums BEFORE, I saw him live 2 times @ depeche's 2001 tour!
These shows were very crazy and cool. (maybe more "exciting" than the depeche MODE shows back then in 2001 )

@ Ricky's Hand, he drilled himself in his hand with a drill machine. -> Blood squeezed all around the stage and on this white lab-coat. Ok, later you he showed it was a fake hand made of plasic or something. -> He impaled the hand with the drilling machine and threw it into the crowd. -> On one show, someone of the "only depeche devoted audience" threw it back in the stage. *lol*

@ Back to nature he climed on a high ladder - while he was singing (!) and hung up there only with his legs, with his head in direction to the ground! Crazy man! (I always was afraid, he could tumble down...)

And hey, look at him in 2001/2002. This guy was 45 and looked great like 30 or something. Really a shame he had to die so early.

R.I.P. Frank!
