Funke88 Â Â 10 #2 Posted September 14, 2003 I went to the Limit once, but never again. I was too scared! When people have to drink out of plastic glasses then you have to worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

max   13 #9 Posted September 16, 2003 Used to go there in the early 80s but remember taking some friends from work there in later years. When we entered we thought it was empty but then realised that everybody, and I mean everybody, was dressed in black and they just blended into the black decor.  The bouncer in the early days was scary. He used to wear one black leather glove and gripped a short iron bar. Don't remember there ever being trouble at the door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Zeppelin   10 #12 Posted September 16, 2003 The Revillos, Victor Drago band, Secret Affair, Phil Rambo band, Devo D-E-V-O. And a Francis Rossi lookalike who used to fly down the stairs attack a few punks, get 7 bells knocked out of him, cause a near riot, get slung out of the door by Egor then repeat the act the week after. Yes, happy days. Take it to the limit one more time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
