THE EXPLOITED IN BELFAST (3 Viewers)

[Cormcolash]

The rider is actually a pretty standard one,

for bands like westlife and u2 yeah? and complan?

For bands like Sick of it All, and The Slackers, and The Beat. They ask for similar sorts of catering, just nowhere near as much of the stuff as The Exploited asked for.

 

[nooleen]

This is mesmerising...what a bunch of fucking loons.

It would take 25 years just to get through all that.

'12 actimel strawberry'...... ?!*#!*

Bonkers

wattie's probably sending it all home to his poor mammy, it's the only way a working class lad from edinburgh can make a living now that the british army are out of northern ireland

 

[GO]

Fuck them.If Wattie put the steam off my piss on his rider he still would'nt get it.

And these riders are only 'wish lists' anyways.

b.t.w. the band they didnt want to play with them was axis of,

becasue wattie buchan said ''they were not a punk band'', which they are.


Fuck that. Were gona start playing classic rock covers and see if they'll respect us then

I listened to your myspace page and in my opinion yas are not a Punk band.

Here Janer, are they still a punk band then?

Yes but not a DIY one or a band thats popular at grassroots.

 

[the strange guy]

The Exploited = Crossover Metal/Thrash + Singer with faux-hawk

 

[Janer]

I miss the old days when you had it simply as
Punk or New Wave.

 

[the strange guy]

Those days never existed.
Pistols Vs Damned Vs Clash
They were never all simply 'punk'
Sub genres of sub genres, that's what it's ALL ABOUT!

 

[Janer]

I disagree, The Clash were known as the political thinkers, Damned as the fun/crazy/crossdressing band, and the Pistols were the face of Punk music to non Punks....
They were still all labelled as Punks.

 

[Kev Bones]

Yes but what is punk? Snore!zed

 

[the strange guy]

Punk is all about the riders, eating meat and hating gays and paddys.

 

[Janer]

I feel shame, I don't understand the term "riders" unless it's to do with 2 on 1.......

 

[Carlow Punks!]

Fuck it it's been posted before on Thumped/ Eirecore, but we may as well look again for comparison to the mainstream rock world....where does The Exploited fit in on the scale of these concert performer riders?

Smoking Gun Backstage

Oh, yeah... and anyone who hasn't seen this website before give up ten minutes of your life and read the Iggy Pop and the Stooges one. You will not regret it.

 

[Primitive]

Always thought The Exploited were a waste of time & this certainly this hasn't changed my mine. They've progressed from been a pretty substandard punk band to a pretty bad trash metal band.

 

[PiperX]

Just thinking about this a bit further....

I always thought punk was about doing, saying, playing, listening, etc. to whatever you like, and not feeling you have to confirm to anyone else's ideas, etc. Therefore, Wattie and Co. are fully intitled to request a dancing monkey if they want, as is Joshthefirst is fully intitled to tell them to fuck off, (and justifiably so in this case).
However I'm still looking forward to the gig in Dublin. My only real concern is if Wattie'll be able to get his fat arse up on the stage after eating all that processed shite!

While I'm here, why would they want '2x 9v battery blocks' ?!*?!

It's still as simple as that, people make up their own genres - they're not really real... If you think there's too many subgenres then you're just dividing it up too much yourself.

That reminds me of the end of a South Park show were Mr Panky explains the logic behind the previous 20 minutes.

this is my rider, if anyone wants to book me to appear in their sitting room:

-somebody with cigarettes or tobacco to scab off
-teabags, milk and a kettle
-some toilet paper in the jacks
-collection of old copies of viz or entertaining zines (e.g. KOTSP)
-a few good books to flip through
-the strong possibility of a session
