[Kermit McDermott]

Yer woman from Place-bow is a ride.

Good to see the little twirp is going bald. Not so androgynous now are ya

 

[cephalopod]

He was hardcore though wasn't he? I mean taking drugs and having sex with people. Then writing awesome songs about it. Hardcore.

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

I went to U2 POP.
Lady Di had just croaked it that morning.
Bono tried to heal the rift between Ireland and England.
Cant we just get along?
People teared up.

I should really have been old enough to know better.

sorry flashback, i cant rep you twice in one thread!

 

[taubstumm]

i trump you all

i went to see the eagles in the r.d.s. - with my parents

they were kind of rockin

 

[Scientician 0.8]

You guyze are so lame. Did they put on a decent show? Who the fuck cares if it you were entertained.
I saw Bosco when I was 6, god I'm morto now I'm mad into dubstep.

 

[sweetoblivion]

So you were a little girl once. Nothing to be embarrassed about, dude.

I think it's more that other people are embarrassed for me

Anyway, much better input this time around lads and lassies!

 

[taubstumm]

I saw placebo in whelans

i was at that gig too

it was... also kind of rockin

 

[Gabbo]

The Foo Fighters on a few occasions. When they got bad. I had spots.

 

[Lillian]

I saw Boyzone everytime they played Dublin,I was only 6 when I started, not ashamed at all, had to start somewhere. I think I was at some of those Foo fighters gigs with you. The first one was when I was 12 or 13 in the Olympia but I remember that being pretty excellent

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Symposium in the Music Centre. Absolute rubbish. A were good though, the support band.

I went to see Andy Williams about 8 years ago in the Point. I guess some people would be embarrassed about that but I'm not, it was amazing. I was at At The Drive In the night before or the weekend before, quite a contrast.

 

[taubstumm]

i'd still like to see the foo fighters

Not saying I didn't enjoy them, it's just I'm way cool now. Still have the stubs on my noticeboard.

 

[Lillian]

I think I have some the Red Hot Chili Peppers, thats probably way less cool now that I think about it

 

[Flux]

I'm embarrassed about plenty of gigs Ive played, but none I've been at.

 

[chickenham]

Isn't it confusing when people talk about 'uncool' gigs that they're not embarrassed about? Look at the thread title!

I burn when I think of the Rollins Band supported by the Red Hot Socky Mickys in SFX 1991 .... I want that evening back. I didn't go to very many gigs.

 

[St. Fechin]

Scissor Sisters in Belfast, a couple of days after the Indian Ocean tsunami. There was a spare ticket going.

Support came from Mylo and some local New York Dolls-y bunch.

Near the start yer wan made a speech about how, as a New York band, they felt a kinship with the people of Belfast - terrorism etc etc. 3000-ish dead etc etc.

There was a song dedicated to "anyone who had to work in retail this Christmas - we've been there. We got out of that thanks to YOU."

They kept banging on about oral sex for some reason. "Hey, Aer Lingus - hahaha." "A word of advice: perform oral sex"

A lull came when they dedicated their only vaguely sombre song to the victims of the tsunami. Then it was straight back to the bacchanalian carnality: "COS YOUR FILTHY!" Seamless.

In the queue outside beforehand there was some old guy handing out religious calenders illustrated with lambs and suchlike.

SAVE ULSTER FROM SODOMY.


edit: fuck it, that was a great night out

 

[Cara]

I went to Steps and S Club 7, I was embarassed then, because I generally had relatively good taste in music for my age, couldn't care less anymore though, they were deadly gigs, had a great night on both occasions!

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

I saw Bosco when I was 6, god I'm morto now I'm mad into dubstep.

i saw bosco live as well at father matthew hall when i was about that age as well. he put on some performance.

i remember it like yesterday, i arrived down for breakfast and dad said you're not going to school today, you're going to bosco!

but im not embarrassed at all - he's better than most of the metal bands out there these days anyway.

I was just about to say there's nothing to be embarrassed about after that account of the gig!
