Comprehensive List Of Bands I Wish I'd Seen Live But Now Never Will (1 Viewer)

I'd say there's plenty of people in Ireland who've seen them both a good number of times. Ha!

I wanted to see Thin Lizzy on the farewell tour but was too young to be allowed. And when Rory Gallagher played belfast I'd not heard him and thought he would have been rubbish. (in all fairness though,I'm not sure how much I would have got it then,but could have been swept up in it)

But just not you, Ha!
I dunno, I always imagine the type of guy who say everyone "back in the day" to be some addled old rocker, it's strange when it's the normal looking guy the works a few yards away.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I find it's very often the "normal guy"

James Brown - I baulked at the ticket price for his Olympia gig, he was dead not long after.
Nina Simone - I baulked at the price of her gig in The Point, she was dead not long after.

I'm definitely going to Neil Young this weekend.

A friend of mine said that nina simone gig was shite - I hope that's some consolation to you

According to Nick Cave she's a right cunt. And coming from a right cunt like Nick Cave that probably means she's a right cunt altogether.

She shot some young lad because he was making too much noise

She shot some young lad because he was making too much noise

that's not a crime, is it?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Not if enough of us do it

Not if you're famous enough. Pat Kenny and Gerry Ryan took turns shooting me when I was 10, it hurt but what could you do, they were famous and I wasn't. They were always up to shit like that. Gay Byrne had a "Duck Hunt" style shooting range where members of the Artane boys band held inductions. There would be Gaybo firing shots off at the young whipper snappers legging it around dressed as ducks, naked from the waist down as nature intended. Charlie Haughy would shout encouragement and abuse at them as they went. A young Robbie Keane was shot very badly by Peter O Tool, he swore revenge actually. Some say Keane made a pact with the devil and when he scores his 80th goal for Ireland O Toole will be reincarnated as Twinks gee.
