[#10-7]

now pete, are you talking about the bloke who sit on their amps and do u2 songs? cos they're not very heavy metal.. or is it the old guy with the finger-pickin' device, cos h's not heavy either, or what about that old OLD guy who plays black sabb and led zepp stuff outside mcdonalds? cos he's terrible... so it can't be him?
i think those kids who shout 'father and son' repeatedly for 6 hours on a saturday should get my vote... or hey what about that old lady who dances and sings on o'connell street? eh? if she changed from religious stuff to destiny's child i'd say she'd get number one...

 

[Willie Willions]

no way, vote for the bottle guy, remember him? he used to bang bottles on his knees, he got a fair ould beat going too, no-one ever gave him money though... poor guy

 

[pad]

actually he did make good money and the funny thing is he just started doing it one night when he was locked and people started giving him money...or so the urban legend goes

 

[pad]

that sounded much more interesting in my head

 

[ommo]

Y'know the metal guy, always plays slayer riffs an has a basketball net, so its fun to give him quids...
he RULES

 

[Ex-User (250)]

glen hansard got him to play support to the frames once in vicar street. no joke. it was the same gig the null set played at. he does rock more than anyone here for what it's worth. black black day, all the oil and coal in the world couldn't de-chill my palsied bones....

 

[rothko]

Metal Guy© is a serious talent indeed.
He's like a juke box...he even knew "Crepitating Bowel Erosion" by Carcass.

Well it impressed me anyway.

I believe he's a bike courier now, wasn't he on that awful 2Phat on network 2 also?
He played riffs instead of that DJ guy.

 

[krystal]

I do believe his correct copyrightable name is actially The Marks and Spencers Blues Explosion

Least eh... according to Dudley it is.

 

[pete]

this is all well and good


but did anyone VOTE for him?

 

[rothko]

Yep...I did.

Twice.

 

[#10-7]

metal guy was on 2phat? wow. he met zig and zag. he IS famous. cool.
and wasn't a there a group of kids who busked there in front of the flower sellers by bruxelles given a record deal? thats shit. i don't agree.
(maybe i'm bitter cos i didn't get signed from busking....)

 

[John]

Yeah. They supported meatloaf (!)recently. they also acted the bollox with my little brothers trad supergroup on Grafton St on a turf basis. Gonks.

 

[#10-7]

yeah but i bet they can't shout 'father and son' at the top of their lungs for 6 hours? eh? EH? no. i didn't think so. i'm sure they'll be on the second day at slane...

ps - screw the dean

 

[Pantone247]

no, no, one of them went off to do some solo work.

an installation piece on urban underage performance art, at the Douglas Hyde
He cut a carol singer in half and put him in a steel tank.

caused quite a stir in the world of high concept urban street proformance.

Apparantly some guy got physically sick on himself at the opening.

 

[John]

No wires crossed.
Then they got a record deal.
They're supporting some other schmuck's stadium gig soon.....
