I dare you to go over to eircore and say that. Dire Straits are the reason punk rock was invented.

















ps the first album I bought on Cd was Brothers in Arms.

i was on the bus one saturday after heading into one of those arts centre gigs.and there was this hardcore punk-looking type sitting across from me listening to his headphones.he was giving people the stare and looked pretty inebriated.i thought, he's probably heading into the show.

all of a sudden he starts singing 'sultans of swing' out of key at the top of his lungs!! he knew all the words!

Oh, and i went to see the Devlins at the Tivoli when i was 18 and felt some girls tits (over the bra) in the middle of the crowd (we were wearin the face of each other at the time).

me and wobbler shared two birds at a blur concert when we were about 17.got a bit of under the bra action during dEUS! it's amazing, 17 yr olds these days would've taken them home and given them a good seeing to.never even crossed my mind at the time

 

[flashback]

hmmm
I think all five tracks on Love Over Gold are really good
pay no mind to the haters

Sound.
I like nigglybits.
Telegraph Road was my track though. It was 15 minutes long or something. I had a little cassette deck, and I would sit in my room and concentrate on that huge guitar solo at the end.
That solo ruled my young life back then.

EDIT Score central Hermie. dEUS and boobies? Gift.

I was on their myspace last week. They're STILL going!

So are Northern Uproar.

Holy shit, now that is a gig I'm not only ashamed I went to, but utterly furious about for a long time after. How does a band like that get to play the olympia? They (N.U.) were utter Cack

I haven't read the rest of this thread but I have been waiting for the opportunity to admit this in public and I suppose this is the time.

Some time in the late 1980s/early 90s when I was a very young lad I passed up the chance to go and see The Butthole Surfers in London (Brixton Academy I think it was) and instead went to see, oh my God it pains me to admit this, .......... Something Happens.

Phew. It's done. I don't feel better ... I now have a sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach.
