Gary Glitter Released

[lankeela]

after serving 8 of his 16 year sentence - do you think he could resurrect his music career? I still enjoy his records and would probably go to a gig if he did one locally. Or do you think he should be permanently outcast?

Stick to the topic please, Canary42. ;)

I think a combination of national hostility, combined with tha absence of any audience for virtually any original Glam Rock artist will make a return to the stage highly unlikely for Mr Glitter.

[naomi24]

I think there are several acts from that period still performing and of course loads of tribute acts - but should this creature ever consider returning to the stage, acceptance of his music would be the least of his worries.

The anger should be directed at the powers that saw fit to set him free. This man, and his sort,have to be mental,and will always be an obvious danger to kids.

[andy-hughes]

In terms of specifically 'Glam Rock' bands, only Sweet springs to mind, which is guitarist Andy Scott and a collection of young anonymous fill-ins.

I don't know of any other Glam bands still touring, but ad always I am happy to be corrected.

[naomi24]

Like some of the old 60s acts, some will rock 'til they drop. Adam Ant, for example is still touring.

[Redhelen72]

Wasn't Adam Ant the 80's?

[naomi24]

Yes.

It seems to me that very few bands ever pack it n.

I am not sure if Mud count as glam rock, but they are still going in some form or other.
Even Mungo Jerry, for Cliff's sake!

Remnants of The Glitter Band were still performing as of last year (!)
