Woodstock

Woodstock

You were selling hemp clothing, if I remember correctly. And bongs made from recycled cow dung you collected from nearby fields?

Ahh, I remember it well. you were there, dressed as a wizard, and you'd used old condoms soaked in brine to turn your face into a peace sign, but you'd left off a bar and just looked like a filthy product placement for Mercedes.

And then there was Woodstock '94, when you tried to get a Million D&D march together, to draw attention to Gamers' Rights issues.

Such an inspiration.

im almost sure (and hate to admit) that i think my first gig was the manic street preachers! i think that shit all girl band were supporting.... anyone know the name? the chicks, or something like that, from the balcony you could see up the drummers skirt... teehee.
it was either that or a gig in the phoenix i think it might have been Consume.

fear factory in the SFX when i was 15. fkn brilliant 'twas. first punk gig was oi polloi, hansel and regretel era puget sound and homebrew in frazers. i was wearing a nine inch nails tshirt and big barry tried to sell me a copy of his zine claiming it had an interview with trent reznor. then he noticed the resemblance between me and cormy and backed away in shock; i don't know why he was so horrified, then again cormac in girl form isn't something i would be very enthusiastic about if i wasn't warned first.

I was in Comet for the ramones thing but couldn't go up and ask for a signature. Me and my mate Alan just rummaged through the albums looking up at Joey and Dee Dee (must have seen you there too)
Subhumans, Golden Horde, Paranoid Visions, Vicarious Living and Cactus World News in the Youth Expression Centre. What a night !!!!! (or was it two nights?)

 

[subbuteo !]

first gig - slane festival 1981 - thin lizzy blew me away but i was there to see hazel o connor in her punk/ new wave phase. great mileage to be had from having seen lizzy.QUOTE]


conor i heard somewhere that if you kill someone you can steal their memories
so ,watch you back.

 

[tommytrousers]

[TOXIC]

andrew

Try and track down a copy of the song "Behemoth" by Tad. It may sound silly and dated now, but that was the proverbial shit pre-Grunge explosion.

AHA!PROOF!!I KNEW IT!!!

That would be the "Behemoth" that Foetus covers on the "male" dvd.That would be Foetus whose mainman would be a bloke who looks scarily like Mac.Who's just reccomended "behemoth".
Admit it Mac..you ARE Jim Thirlwell aren't you?

Giros gig: SomeDaysBetter(pulled-out)/SplitRed/Debt, February 2000

I was just gonna say "we never played with Some Days Better" funnily enough.What a bad idea that would have been.DEBT were far more emo than SDB will EVER be.

 

[needtokill]

barbarella. They played my school (as they all attended the thing) God they were shite.

Is that Barberella the notoriously shit waterford all girl band?
Are you from waterford?
shouldn't you be out scoring members of your own family if you are?
