Chrissie Hynde On Bbc

[237SJ]

Did anyone else watch this on iPlayer? I thought she was amazing.

I will check it out.

I reviewed the Pretenders back in the day for Melody Maker, and I enjoyed the show and said so, but something in my review upset Ms. Hynde and she pulled out of an arranged interview with another writer - if I catch up with her, I will ask her if she remembers what I said that she didn't appreciate.

[237SJ]

I met her twice. The first time, she scared the hell out of me (but I was young - 22) Second time I was a few years older but she was in a good mood so that was OK. Now when I see her, I quite like her.

I didn’t watch it but I think she’s amazing. I love her voice and her look.

[237SJ]

I love her too. I saw her at Guilfest ( a defunct music festival) She still has her voice.

[Apc2604]

I love her voice and her music. I saw her a few years back at a smallish gig with The Pretenders on a Norfolk estate. She lost favour with a lot of her audience by spending time preaching about vegetarianism and using the event as a platform for her beliefs, and being very rude to those selling beefburgers and hotdogs. Not a very pleasant person.

[237SJ]

She's always been rude. When I saw her at Guilfest, she used the C word on stage. That`s the way she is.

She has a great voice but her looks-personality has never floated my boat.

Saw the pretenders support U2 in 1986 (I think). They were far bette than the pretentious Irishmen

[douglas9401]

I was at the same gig, thought U2 had the edge.

[Zacs-Master]

Elland Road?

[Mozz71]

I didn't see it, but Chrissie Hynde has one of those voices that, with the right material, is hauntingly beautiful.

[Apc2604]

She also was bragging about how great she looked for her age due being a veggie. To be honest I went to see a music event and not hear her issuing forth. Considering the venue was on an estate that reared livestock I think she was out of order.

I expected better of you.

[Zacs-Master]

I expected better of U2. But they didn’t deliver.

What was the programme called?

Chrissie has an amazing voice and it brings back memories of when I was at school.
