[pete]

[the departed]

ill be more specific for you pete..

im putting together a short documentary about primordial for an upcoming DVD release. part of the doc contains some references to the irish metal scene and i was curious to see if anyone had any photos they'd consider putting forward.

anything considered..

You've posted on metalireland,right?

 

[the departed]

there was a primordial post a while ago for footage but it didnt really yield anything.

was just curious to see if anything came up here. i may post over there soon too.

 

[HMD]

there's a few olden folks on the rock/metal forum on boards, might be worth a go

I saw asphyxia in the spingfield hotel in maynooth a long time ago, maybe 1990. I think it was a battle of the bands. I remember they played Nuclear winter by Sodom and some Kreator. They were the cool metal bands from around my area, them and a band called overdrive.

yep I have a ton of photos from those days. Not sure if they're what you're looking for though. My makes and I used to use a roll of film every week, each time getting a free replacement when processing. Mainly just load of photos of teenagers messing around.

might be what im looking for. theres little piece on how it was rough for metallers in ireland and there was a lot of fighting and stuff. and also just a little bit on how gigs were often in slums and kids used to drink in carparks yadda yadda. (heavy metal carpark hah)

 

[pete]

really? i had a blast.

 

[Red_Dog]

Yeah I'd say it was a laugh actually , go to amusement city have a few games of Ghost and Goblins drink a two liter of stone house , get the dart over to the top hat to see Napalm Death while drinking another two litter, meet some bird wearing a PLO-scarf and a Nato jacket with Kreator written on the back , then back to yours for a few 2 liters - nice

the only trouble i ever had was with other metallers, the lads that hung around amusement city. Two of them tried to rob a tshirt i was wearing by putting a craft knife to my neck before the Massacre gig.

 

[pete]

ah, the Amusement City Moshers. they gave themselves the coolest nicknames...The Prophet of Hate & The Ultimate Warrior are only two i can remember.

jerks.
