Live or on record? I love the records,but I'd love to know what crime I commited to deserve the punishment that was Slint live at vicar street.

 

[mackle]

vicar street gig is the only time i ever heard slint but it was enough for me i think, i didnt like it at all. several people who've told me they enjoyed it said it was because slint meant so much to them years ago and it was a nostalgia buzz more than anything - i didnt have that though. theres so much slint hype though that its impossible to hear them for the first time now with fresh/unprejudiced ears

spiderland very much, for me, was not an album i liked at first. took a long time to get into it.
problem for people coming across it today is that there is so much similar stuff out there, that's definitely a lot more accessible, and i guess folk don't see the need to put the work in.
if you do, you'll be rewarded. at the time, they were a fairly unique proposition

 

[plug]

wouldn't it be nice to see them play tweez sometime?

most definitely!

i still think ron is the best opening song on an album ever.|..|

Was in road on Saturday trying to buy a ticket for it and they didn't have any. Not sold out already surely?

agreed. it took me years to get into it. "washer" was the key..

no, tickets only went into shops quite late on saturday

 

[oh shit]

they played a good few non-spiderland songs at atp and vicar street. i loved all their stuff on record and went to atp on the understanding that it was a one off. then they did a tour after, i thought, ok fair enough, wish i'd known that before paying out for a fucking shit lineup at a festival, but now they're taking the piss.

i caught the end at primvera and it was just boring. then they played a 'new piece' that was just embarrassing.

surely everyone who would have had a special place for spiderland has had the chance to see them already? isn't it kinda ruining the specialness of it now?

 

[ernesto]

isn't it kinda ruining the specialness of it now?

no. you are.
i caught them for the first time at this years ATP but it was bright and it kind of took away from it. im looking forward to this one. granted they are milking it but there are still people who want to see this before they call it a day.

I didn't really think the Vicar St gig was all that great becasue they took so long between songs even if there were parts of it that I really loved. But I saw them doing Spiderland at Primavera and I thought it was great, so I'm going to see them again. It's not going to be special, but I think it'll be good.
