Hello all - I can't believe it's taken me 40 years to get here. I remember getting my first hardcover book in the mail, edition 1 - because I had mailed a love letter to Neil in 1985 saying how I wanted to marry him. I got a postcard back from the UK asking me to join their club. So I did.
Over the...

Hi everyone! I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan since I was 4 years old, they're my favorite band.
I am an Italian guitarist and producer. The PSB are a great source of inspiration for me, and I try to draw inspiration from their style even though my band plays rock music.

Thank you for accepting me...

hello my name is Emilie I am French. I've been a fan of Petshopboys since 1996. I can't wait to see them soon in Amsterdam and Mannheim as well as for 3 evenings in London

Hello from France, I have been a fan for a long time (I fell in love with Go West in 1993, at the age of seven, and I rediscovered Neil and Chris in 1999, and never left). PSB is by far my favourite band.

I don't hate any album, and my top 5 is Fundamental, Very, Introspective, Bilingual and Yes....

Newly joined and now following the “new members introduce yourself” tradition.

Long time (old enough remeber using a pencil to rewind a spooling cassette) enjoyer of Pets Shop Boys and the tension between pop/avant-garde, commercial/creative, humam/robotic, past/present.

Anyway… off now to listen...

Hello, long time lurker, first time posting.

My love of PSB was sparked by my late cousin, 13 years my senior, we grew up together and I was the annoying kid who used to steal all her stuff, including a cassette of Introspective. Was also captivated by Losing My Mind and as a Smash Hits devotee in...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, finally ready to join the fray in time for the new album. :dance:

I grew up in the UK and remember Neil leaving Smash Hits to do his little band thing . I liked PSB enough that they appear on several of my old mix tapes but apparently not enough to buy any...

Hola hola everyone! This is Cote from Chile.

Hi there !
Long time admirer of the forum, and with all the excitement of a new album coming out soon, decided to bite the bullet and join.

Hi folks

This is my second time on here.

Was here 2003-2008 as neiljulieus. Some familiar posters still here and obviously lots of new too.

Been lurking on here for decades, fan since the start just decided to get involved!!!

Just found this forum. Thanks for letting me join. I've been a fan right from the start. Nice to see so many fans here.

Hi there, new member. Fan since 1987.
Just saying hello!

Hi there, everyone. I’m new to this forum and have actually really wanted to sign up for a long time, so I’m glad I was finally able to.
I’m a newer and younger pethead - only became a fan in September of 2020 after hearing “How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?” at the end of a Daria episode....

Just updated my signature to my Insta link!

Used the Loneliness EP as music for my stories :mrgreen:

25-year-old fan from Finland! Love with Pet Shop Boys since 2019 and also collecting their albums (LPs). Almost have them all!

Hi,

I'm not really new to this forum. Been a member since 2003, but my last post was in 2009 so it's been a few years! I remember being more active on the two forums that predates this one, but I forgot their names now.

Been listening and collecting PSB since the late 90s! I used to be more of a...

Hello everyone!

i have been an on and off longtime lurker of this forum, but earlier this year I finally registered since I wanted to share my problems with the official UK store, and now I actually visit the forum every day.

I loved West End girls and Love comes quickly when they were released, and by the time of the...

Hi. I'm Jane from Stoke on Trent and have loved PSBs since the beginning when I was 11. Been a few concerts and wish I hadn't left it so long to go any. Best one for me was Inner Sanctum at the royal opera House. I went one of the filming nights and even show up on the recording.

Hey all,

I have been lurking here for a while and thought I better register. Currently I live on the East Coast but I will soon be moving (Go West!). I just recently started diving deep into the PSB catalogue (I only had PopArt for the longest time but never went further until now) so I am really...

Hello There,

Favorite song : This Must Be The Place I've Waited Years To Leave
Favorite album : there are too much that I Love :) Yes, Fundamental, Very, Behaviour, Actually, Electric, Please... not in that particular order....

Hello all, I've just recently discovered PSB and am a bit obsessed with them at the moment so thought I'd join the community.
I'm 34, female, and in the USA. Still working through their catalog but enjoying it immensely so far. I've already impulse-bought tickets to see them next year :lol:

Greetings from the US.

Multi decade PSB fan but just found this forum. Lucky to have seen them in the US a number of times and still love their music.

Look forward to interacting more with everyone!

Hi from Ireland, finally getting around to joining my first forum!
Long time psb fan since first opportunities 7”!!!

Hi all from Spain, Madrid.

Nice to be here and read all of you!

Hi everyone, I have just recently found this community. I have been a massive PSB fan since I was a teenager (a long time ago!)
Looking forward to talking to others who share my love for the boys 🎹🎤🎵

Hi, I'm Stefan from Germany
I'm Fan from PSB since 1984.
I'm 54 years old :D

Hello Petheads. I am a lifelong fan too. Still my favorite musicians. I could go on and on about why. Keeping it simple, their music speaks to me about my life.

One special memory to share with you. Met a fan before the San Diego concert of Nightlife. I purchased Happiness is an Option t-shirt....

Hello PTB fans! As I am one of them, I decided to join this community to keep in touch with you here.
For the start - my favourite album is Behaviour . What's yours?

All the best!

Hello everyone!

I may be a latecomer to the forum, but I've been a fan since the 1980s.

If I recall correctly, my first Pet Shop Boys memory would be their Top of the Pops appearance, performing Suburbia, on 2 October 1986.

Chris had a green screen monitor on one of his keyboards (which I...

Hi
I am 69 and have loved the PSB's music since their first single.

Only just found this place so I thought I would take a look.

I have a massive music collection, vinyl, cd, md and cassette.

My main love these days is heavy metal, used to be a hospital radio DJ presenting a rock show, poor...

Hello PSB Community! Thought it was about time I showed my face again. The discussions of the old boards prompted me to return, although I have been lurking almost daily the past couple of decades. I was 'ea17' twenty-two years ago (there was, and continues to be, no link with the Walthamstow four...

Hi, I' m Frank from Germany. I' m reading here in this forum for quite a while and today I thought that I should be registered here.
I' m a PSB fan since It's a sin but went more into it after breaking but with my girlfriend at the beginning of the 90th. I was also in one of the first Literally....

Hello fans! Feeling awkward as an elephant - first post nerves. I have arrived at the PSB party very late (sorry!) but decided I’m here for the long haul, and with much catching up to do. Now the owner of many albums etc.

I guess I’m a little obsessed. Go to bed listening, wake up listening, out...

Thanks for the opportunity to learn and discuss with other fans all that is PSB! :)

Looking for a certain sound. Thing is it has many layers.
It'll help by providing other videos if a close sound.

Pet Shop Boys sound. 0.47

18.52

4.14 D05 sound.

I guess Chris could be using Native Instruments now, any ideas on the sound set he'd use? Let me know if other Synths can do...

Greetings, people with obvious good taste in music (and those who just dropped by).

The Pet Shop Boys may not have enjoyed the 1 (count them 1) time they toured Perth in 1995, and may have wondered what were we thinking , but those of us who live here sure as hell enjoyed THEM.

I count myself...

Hello, I'm Dee. I'm so so glad to be here!! Greetings ^^

Hello everyone from Italy!

I went to the same primary school as NT and in about 1968 a pamphlet was produced from poems written by pupils. One by NT is attached - Hot Summer. Can’t quite perceive
his seething resentment of the Holy See but I date say it’s in there. I should that he had only one composition in there whereas...

Hi there, I'm Tony I live in San Francisco, originally from London. I've been a Pethead since the 80s growing up as a teenager and first hearing West End Girls started a life long love affair with the boys, they have literally written the soundtrack of my life.

I'm pretty deep in the rabbit hole...

NOTE: I made a mistake with the demogrphics of where are you from?) because I forgot to fans from South America and Canada. I didn't give any option to put the vote on the poll. So I edited the post where are you from? to include this option. So I had to delete the previous votes of the poll. So...

Hello Everyone,

I have finally registered after lurking for near a decade.

I hail from the States and live in the wonderful Bay Area.

I must say that I have known of the Boys since I was a kid, but really didn’t start worshipping them until I was in the right place and frame of mind; that is to...

All the best.

Hello!

Thought I'd add a wee message here as I'm sort of new.
