hi old skoolers,
i dont know whether im gonna be on my own with this,but i think helter skelter's were the best raves ever,they just got better and better,actually i think they peaked in 97.and when they tried to re-start them after the millenium it just wasnt the same,the vibes just wernt there,coz everyone just sort of knew that dave & penny had just re-opened for the cash.where before i felt that they were doing it because they genuinely loved the scene and they made you feel part of it.(with the hs news letters etc).i used to have alot of respect for dave pratley because of the way he stuck with all the original mc's and dj's that had been playing at hs from the beggining,even when man parris,and mc massive were really starting to sound a bit dated he kept on booking them.and when skibba,shabba and eksman were tearin down one nation,slammin vinyl etc,he stuck with mc mc,gq,warren g etc.
id love to see helter skelter start back up,with the original line up's of mc's and dj's.(even man parris).
like to hear what people think...................

massive used to dj for helter skelter in 91/92 but he kept getting off his head so dave let him mc at a few events. if you listen to him, half the stuff he says is recycled man parris lyrics! (which used to annoy him) and that was the stage in the later years anyway, that man parris got into crack. bad times for him and it showed in his mc'ing as well. he's well out of it now, as well as mc'ing and promoting amnesia house, he teaches music studies at buxton uni now. massive is still dj'ing and holds his own parties called midlands underground.
