best heckle? (1 Viewer)

Jesus Nooly, it's been almost 10 years, you really need to get over these things. I do like the idea of me being a hipster though.

The only one I can think of is seeing Shellac years ago in the US and Steve Albini and the bass player took a round of questions from the crowd - real dumb shit, and then played a song. Then they asked if people had any more questions.
Immediately one lad shouted 'yeah, who gives a fuck what you think about anything?'
Cue riotous laughter and Albini lost for words, which was probably a first.

after playing a pretty ropey set of post-rock to a load of bored punks who were waiting for their mates band, their singer said, "let's hear it for the lads" or something along those lines to a dead silence. then he said it again to more dead silence. then the bloke next to me just said, "gay" and everyone turned around, "yep" "yep" "yep" and nodding their heads.

Wankers!

I'm surprised they're not heckled more often. Y'know, stuff along the lines of

'YOU'RE A GROWN MAN FOR GOD'S SAKE'

or

'REALLY? A PLANE?'

Somebody in Whelans once shouted at Jonathan Richman to shut up talking and just sing a fukking song. Everybody gasped. Jonathan responded by playing 3 songs in a row in Spanish.

I don't know who the maladies are but that sounds like the most amazingest thing that has ever happened.



or simply an awkward moment where the humour didn't work

I know. I'd like to pull the plug on them when they do 'Prayer to God' of whatever it's called and tell them 'kill him, yeah right...got it'.

That was a mate of mine, also when Shellac first came on "HOW MANY CHIPS DID YOU EAT YE FAT FUCK" was directed at the bassist.

And straight after most songs was "AVERAGE"

He actually does love shellac though.

No it was ATP I don't do fun.

Yer man that shouted play "Peace Train ye bollox" to Cat Stevens in the O2 was pretty amazing.

I also heard that when the guy who wrote and starred in Fatal Deviation held a questions and answers session after a screening of his movie in Trinity College the first question was "You're really good at karate".

Probably as good a place as any for this

At a Shellac gig in Dublin someone shouted "Is Spiderland the best album ever made?"

I vowed there and then to never go to this sort of hipster douche-bag gig again
