I find it hard to like any sculpture that keeps dropping huge bits of itself on peoples' heads.

I heard that a turd shaped piece landed on a pigeon head....The bird ended up in a ironic iconic clonic state.

Good tastes brings it's own rewards my friend.
I thought the 'B of the Bang' was genuinely iconic and it was Manchesters answer to the 'Angel of the North'
It should have been modified, made safe and kept. Alas it was not to be.

I hated it.
Rusty and just looked a mess to me.
If it was on a hillside and didn't rust, it would have been great.

I liked it, thought it looked good. What was the problem with it? Were the welds breaking?

I thought it was a waste of money but when I saw it I loved it and was sorry to see it go.

Had it been odne in Paris or the states or just about any other major City it would have been a bright shiny thing that looked immaculate - as it was it was a rusting pile of shite that kept loosing bits of its self

Brilliant concept but utter utter shite implementation
