I think I was at Motörhead there in... 2008?

I was at that. I remember some wag yelling "Judas" when they brought out the acoustic guitars

I think I was at Motörhead there in... 2008? I was at that GY!BE gig too, I enjoyed it. Think Mark Lanegan was the only other gig I was at there.

I think my company probably ruined the GBYBE gig. Long story.

The company you work for or the company you keep?

Ah, sorry to hear. Hate that. I almost prefer going to gigs by myself now.

Were you sitting upstairs chatting about soccer throughout the gig? I asked the two lads sitting in front of me to please hold the soccer chat until after the gig and they responded by deliberately talking louder, the pair of pricks. As I recall the general chit chat was louder than the band at all times. I never really like GYBE anyway so I didn't care that much

It was everything you could imagine, and more.

Earliest cinema memories are seeing The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians in there. Might also have seen BTTFII there. I remember going nuts for the trailer for III at the end.

I’m sure I’ve said it before but I was at what I believe was the first show they held there when it reopened as a music venue in the early 2000s, which was Steve Malkmus + The Jicks, but I was only there to see Quasi supporting them because I was mad into Sleater-Kinney and that was Janet Weiss so come ON. Then they started playing and the issues with the building’s sound were painfully obvious.

I was at the GYBE gig as well but I was jet-lagged after a few days in Toronto (where I saw Trail of Dead at Lee’s Palace and nearly got bottled in the head by their drummer) and I blew it off halfway through, which really annoyed my friend I’d gone with. I made it up to him since. I hope?

I don’t remember my first cinema memory there, maybe when they did a rerelease of Peter Pan or something in the ’80s? I remember going to some Xmas do there for the kids of staff in some company that my press snapper uncle blagged me and my cousin into, they showed a bunch of Pink Panther cartoons. Later when it reopened as a cinema in the late ’90s I saw the Roland Emmerich Godzilla there from the balcony.

I saw Dinosaur Jr there in 2005. One of the loudest gigs I've ever been to.

That was the first one the reformed trio played over here, wasn't it? I'm still raging I wasn't able to make it.

I lived down the road from it so went to a good few gigs there. Saw Amy Winehouse, Machine Head, the Lemonheads, Mastodon, Fall Out Boy and numerous others playing there.

Don't think I went to any gigs there, but I remember when it was a cinema, probably around 1986. Me and the brother asked my Da to bring us to see Commando. They wouldn't let us in. Too young. In fairness they were right. Arnie kills a small army in that film.

All to play for as game lovers revisit classics
