BEST: starting the sample for 'the soundwaves, reversing!' at man or astroman in the TBMC. being a retard nerd paid off for wance.

WORST: but also the real best - this crazy guy who played before the first jimmy cake gig. can't remember his name......oh it was william wade! that was wicked weird. a truely bizarre person.

WORST: but also the real best - this crazy guy who played before the first jimmy cake gig. can't remember his name......oh it was william wade! that was wicked weird. a truely bizarre person.

he was truly astonishing. i seem to remember a large part of his set consisting of the first line of "come as you are" repeated over and over again, followed by an abba "medley".

needless to say, nobody had asked him to play, he sort of invited himself.

 

[THRILLHO]

"AND I SWEAR THAT I DO-ON'T HAVE A GUN.. Yes, I do, it's in that bag over there".

I bet he did, and all.

 

[mark]

Charlatans gig I think was late 1990 around the time of Some Friendly - I thought it was average - not the worst ever like

 

[Anthony]

Best: AC/DC and King's X in the Point 1991
Worst: (of bigish gigs) Mercury Rev in the Olympia on the Deserters Songs tour.

 

[krystal]

Best: The Cure: RDS 1989
.

my abiding memory of this gig is that julianne whatshername from all about eve came on stage wearing a backless crushed velvet frite-frock, complete with highly visible shiny white bra

style = none


who were the other support??

 

[Rimbaud]

Best:
(1)Insulting Godspeed You Black Emperor after they`re fantastic gig in Galway.(It was seriously one of the best performances i`ve seen by a band - but i told them they were crap anyway)They got very defensive actually.
(2) Warzone fest.
(3)Tristeza/Shalabi Effect in Amsterdam.



Worst:
(1)Vv/M
(2)Stricknein D.C.....ugh..

 

[Wheels]

Best: Watching Phil Kay drag a certain guitarist from a certain Dublin 9 piece onto the stage in the Funnel then wrap him up with the mike lead, spin him around on his back and than throw his fags into the crowd ( for being a stinge that only buys tens). Ho ho. Or when Warren Ellis waded into the crowd in Whelans and persuaded everyone to sit on the ground while he sat playing in the middle.

Worst: Having to endure a number three at a Dead Plants gig. Anyone who's ever had one knows what one is.

 

[Ex-User (1487)]

best: golden -> empty bottle 2002

worst: never getting to see don cab

 

[Keeror]

Worst: Having to endure a number three at a Dead Plants gig. Anyone who's ever had one knows what one is.

Do you mean where one shits and pisses oneself simultaneously?
Did you not excuse yourself and go to the bathroom?
Were the Dead Plants the cause of said no.3?

You are a Dermody and I claim my prize.

 

[Hector Grey]

slayer gig was ace. that is all.

william wade was a legend. a legend of nuts. a nutty legend. a wierdo. a nutter. nuts.

Worst: (of bigish gigs) Mercury Rev in the Olympia on the Deserters Songs tour.

ha ha ha bizzare, I was about to say one of my tops moments would be Mercury Rev in the Olympia! They played there twice in quite quick sucsession and the night I refer to was pretty empty. Anyhow I think it's a lot to do with the fact that I was absolutely wrecked and thought Johnathan Rev was Satan, but a nice smiley druggy Satan who wanted to wash my brain with feedback and be my buddy. The whole thing for me was the denition of the word Pyschadelic.

I'm not a huge Mercury Rev fan, but thay really blew me away that night.
I've seen them since and have been very underwhelmed.
