[awafaehame]

I have tickets for Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot at the Musical hall in March. Looking forward to that. Also, I know its a long way away, but in October, From the Jam are at the Lemon Tree on the 22nd. Should also be a good one....

[SimmieFour]

Got tickets yesterday for Milburn in Sheffield end of April :-)

Stone Roses in Dublin July.

[57vintage]

To quote Derek McInnes "hunners".

A slight exaggeration, but with sheep1903's Blue Lamp/Tunnels gigs, Blues Rock Aberdeen's growing roster (Devon Allman and Laurence Jones thus far), the mighty Glenbuchat Hall's carefully-chosen acts and my mate Hinnerson's house concerts, it's a bonanza year coming up, starting with Gordie Tentrees at the Lampie on 5 February.

[Skacel]

Was at James Yorkston / Pictish trail / Withered Hand last Friday which was excellent.

Coming up:
mewithoutYou
Primal Scream
Trivium
Explosions in the sky

We saw From The Jam at Montrose two weeks ago. We were really there to see Urang Matang, a ska band in which Big Jimmy fae Dexys guests on trombone, but FTJ were pretty green good. Foxton limits his louping aboot the stage nowadays and DEFINITELY DISNA DYE HIS HAIRXD XD XD XD

This O/T sh!te is ruining this forum, worse than it actually is.
It means theres just not enough intelligence to talk about footballing matters relating to the Dons.

Only O/T threads should be limited still to footballing matters but those not involving Aberdeen

From my very personal and non influence opinion

How about you make your own OT thread and moan on that instead of picking a random offtopic post and posting on it.

How hard is it to skip past the O/T threads

[Pacman1903]

I have my brief. Dont know if i will be here though.

Makings of a good day. Dons at home,Thrashing at night.

That would be ironic b0!!0cks would it not.
Create an O/T thread to moan about O/T threads



How hard is it to skip past the O/T threads


Not that easy when about 50% of the threads start with O/T.
It makes the site woefully awful

This is a fitba forum, lets keep it to fitba.
O/T should still be about fitba but non Dons related topics.

If you want to discuss cooking habits or knitting patterns, **** off to sites designed for those



COME ON YOU REDS!!!

[Pacman1903]

Its nae just a fitba forum though is it. It used to be a forum for Fitba speak and nae just AFC related (Stand Free Forum)and an Offtopic Forum for knitting patterns etc. These two have been merged now into a single forum because the site had redirection issues and all the offtopic users were getting p@ssed off. I dont know how often you were ever on the offtopic but theres alot of radges used it and it was good craic.

So it is a designated anything goes site now. Ill stay put. Maybe stick up a few more O/T subject. Hopefully Term can start a world cup.

You obviously have a problem with this which is fair enough as each to their own but dinna put your complaints on an O/T thread that is highly active and used by many a user who just get on with the new set up. Ed winna see you complaint and im sure most on it couldnt give a f@ck.

Ed merged the two. myself, Gihooly, Jormundgan, Vas,Term,Vintage etc etc didnt. Or even email Sibo as to his credit will get back to you. Winna do a

[awafaehame]

I much prefer the off topic messages to be on the same page. I used to like that previously then hated it when it changed. I barely went on the off topic page on it's own, so I am happy enough.

Can please some folk some of the time...........

[IveSeenTheLight]

Its nae just a fitba forum though is it.........

Why didnt you speak up when the merge idea was mooted.


Fair enough, the Forum has just significantly deteriorated then (IMHO)



Also 50% is over exaggerating to prove a point. There are 30 threads on the front page and only 10 offtopics


It wasn't an exaggeration prior to the Celtic game, finally threads are back on topic as a result, but it seems now the move will slowly ebb back to a higher O/T ratio

Hey Sheep1903, ever heard The Low Anthem? Probably the best gig I ever saw at the tunnels about 5 years ago. Incredible live performance.

[Pacman1903]

Janes Addiction announced for Donington.

[Pacman1903]

And Municipal Waste


:D :D :D :D

[scobiemacd]

Janes Addiction announced for Donington.

:D

I love Janes and saw them in Glasgow a few years ago (2003) . Perry's voice isn't the most powerful live though .

[Pacman1903]

His voice failed him and he cancelled when i went to Leeds festival to see JA. Waited all weekend and they were last on Sunday and they pulled out on Sunday afternoon. I was fuming.

Watched the Mighty Mighty Bosstones instead which was f@cking fantastic though

[Mr_Grieves]

Aye thats a great idea, Cheap Trick live at Ross' Cafe

Ill sit and eat fruit slices and haggis rowies with a cup of coffee while they whip oot classics like "Hes a Whore", "Sickman of Europe", "Surrender" etc

Stuff dreams are made of

[xtrmntr75]

Sickman of Europe? Eating haggis rowies? Whoever could they be referring to? ;)

[CalumGilhooly]

The Who at Wembley on Saturday just past.

The loon's first ever gig, and fair to say he bloomin' well enjoyed it.

They were on for two hours, Roger slowly recovering from his illness fae last year.

Superb as ever, although personally I'd have liked to have heard more from Quadrophenia.

[TheDandyBassman]

Dons fan and Voice USA runner up is back in Europe for some shows and is doing a home village gig on Saturday at the Linsmour Hotel in Pitmedden. Craig John Davidson, who in my opinion, is one of the finest songwriters Aberdeen has ever produced is supporting. Should be a cracker.

[sheep1903]

Just bought tickets for Nathaniel Rateliff at The Barrowlands in Nov.
Never been to the Barrowlands before.

[OneBrianIrvine]

Never been to the Barrowlands before.

Had my eyes opened first time there, we headed straight to venue to get our bearings & thought we'd find a nearby pub. I thought I was on the Falls Road, it's like pseudo Ireland, bars with grills & RA graffiti etc. I'd found the Glasgow I'd heard horror stories about as a kid. We headed straight back to bars in centre sharpish.

That said, for a dive, it's a cracking venue for gigs, especially foot-stomping types.
You've to wipe your feet on way out but aye perfect size & pretty unique IMO.

Been meaning to check out Rateliff since hearing him for first time on Later last year.
My highlight of the series (felt programme had dropped off but thought much improved last time out, more back to basics & artists not bringing their own bloody tour stage).

[donsdaft]

Marriage of Figaro for me next Thursday.

[OneBrianIrvine]

Mozart :heart:

[donsdaft]

Mason b'astard.





He could hud a tune though.

[Pacman1903]

Exodus on Saturday night. To say im a wee bit excited is an understatement. Tunnels is going to fall down

[57vintage]

Devon Allman at The Tunnels tonight. More excited than a man of my age really has any right to be.

[Skacel]

Barras is an ace venue. Utter shiitehole but it's got character.

The Barras

[Pacman1903]

Barras is great. Ive seen a few beauties there

Slayer in 2000ish was awesome, full venue mosh pit going on. The most insane thing i have seen/been part of, still to this day.

Rancid around 2 years ago was phenomenal too.

Carcass a couple of years ago was also phenomenal.

Its a sh@tehole but its a great sh@tehole and the wachty foosht smell just adds to its greatness.

I also like the tinny table at the back. Spent a few quid there over the years.

[DaewonSong]

I see 'The Boss' and the E street band have announced they will be playing Hampden this summer. Tickets on sale Thursday I believe.

[jamiesd]

Buzzcocks at Lemon Tree October. Sorted.

[donsdaft]

Buzzcocks? f'uck sake min, are they still touring?

I don't suppose Joy Division will be backing them this time.

We stayed in the bar at the Capitol during the support act. To this day, I have no regrets.

Exodus Tunnels 27/2/16

When i heard Bay Area Thrash legends Exodus were playing Aberdeen i was so excited a little bit of pee came out and to think they were playing the Tunnels made even more pee come out. I have pretty much been excited since the day i booked PacBro and my tickets.

Turned up half an hour after doors and it was f@cking rammed. The busiest ive ever seen the Tunnels in maybe twentyish visits. Support band Lost Society sounded pretty decent, bits of all Thrash bands of the past heard in their riffing. But it was all about the main event.

I saw Exodus about four years ago in the Garage in Glasgow but Rob Dukes was on vocals, that man could not lace returning frontman Steve "Zetro" Souzas sweaty boots. Zetro makes this band a completely different (better) beast. Soon as they hit the stage (i was now in a position to see the stage)it was cacophonous breakneck brilliance, with constant moshing created by new tunes from the latest album, "Blood in Blood Out" includi

[Redtothebone]

You shoud get a job with rolling stone magazine ? I wiz there I think :d

[mondo_notion]

f*ck aye, i'm off to google the sh*t out of 'cacophonous'*

[vasilyrats86]

Sounds a braw gig Pacmin

Never seen Exodus nearly seen em back in 89 when they played Glasgow but it was that or Anthrax at the Playhoose so I went to watch that instead.

They are a class band but went a bt awf the boil with Force Awf Habit and some off the Dukes stuff is nae that braw

They are on a big list awf guid thrash acts I never saw as they never toured Skotlund or I couldnae get time awf tae travel doon tae see em

Death Angel, Flotsam & Jetsam, Metal Kirk, INC, Faith Or Fear, Over Kill, Dark Angel,VoiVod, Celtic Frost (aroond the time awf Pandemonium) all spring tae mind. Ken Over Kill are touring later this year but doubt i'll make it.

Braw review min did they no play Last Act Of Defiance or Cajun Hell they're brutal tunes

[Pacman1903]

Thats a good list of bands. Ive got a ticket for Overkill in April. Vader are supporting. F@cking sweet min

Forgot to mention in my review, Gary Holt was missing as he was pooving aboot with Slayer (on tour with Carcass and Testament,some gig) and they had a dude ive never heard of called Kragen Lum (who looked suspiciously like Woody Weatherman from COC). Did his job very well.

Toxic Waltz was only tune from Fabulous Disaster im afraid

[MeadowbankRed]

Pac min gone giz a list of good metal albums apart from obvious stuff like Metallica, old stuff right up till present day. You got the time?

[Pacman1903]

Meadowbank min ill just grab my ipods then list my favourite albums by a chunk of bands. Very heavily thrash orientated but with other worthy mentions chucked in. Where better to start than Thrash. Its the best form of heavy metal.Then if you like you can look into them further.

[Pacman1903]

You will notice the lack of newer music. This is because there is a distinct lack of new good bands. New good music is usually made by old good bands.

Well between what me and Vas have given you, you will now be growing you hair in, stickin patches on a cut off denim jacket to be worn over a leather jacket and heading, cutting the sleeves off your Judas Priest tshirts and heading to Wacken Open Air in the Summer.

Something like this

http://i65.tinypic.com/2quotbm.jpg

Oh and dinna forget your bullet belt

By the way Kreator are the best thrash band ever. Vas will possibly argue.

Vas min.the Expoited Beat the B@stards is wicked

[vasilyrats86]

Was Lee Altus on geetar fir Exodus??

What happened tae Rick Hunolt

I hae an old Exodus show fae when Hammett was in them the amount awf riffs that ended up on Ride The Lichtning is unreal

[Pacman1903]

Altus was there, Tom Hunting drumming, Jack Gibson Bass, Holts stand in and Zetro singing. Hunolt left years ago but filled in for Holt when he first helped Slayer but it wasn't a permanent deal, just a few gigs

[vasilyrats86]

I'm sure Altus was playing when I saw Heathen in Glasgow aboot 25 year ago!!! FFS

Best thrash close between Megadeth, Testament and Over Kill they've done great albums but have the odd awf one

Kreator are a damn fine band went awf them with Renewal but they came back

[Pacman1903]

Vas someones posted a few videos on youtube from Saturday

Heres "and then there were none" complete with my old Donington bud Oggys heed in the way

Nae the best visually but sounds ok - view external link (https://youtube.com/watch?v=w4YimiE50aw)

[MeadowbankRed]

Aye Pac I'll go and look out my leather chaps and bandana min.

[jamesyjamesy]

Glad you had a good time pacman, min. To be honest, was really surprised when aksed to put on Exodus. Hopefully get some more old school stuff off the back of it. You should all get into Sylosis, on the better new wave metal bands.

[xtrmntr75]

Quite fancy The Coral on Saturday if I can get a ticket.

[CalumGilhooly]

Aye Termie, new Coral album oot the morn, tunes I've heard have been great.

Got The Cult tonight at the Music Hall, new album on constant at the mo, fantastic record.

[Pacman1903]

Jamseyjamesy Kreator, Testament and Death Angel would be a good start :D . You would pretty much guarantee the exact crowd from Saturday.

Do you book the bands? There are alot of rockers/metallers up this way as a city Aberdeens well overlooked. Get it sorted. ;D

The Cult tonight. Should be good. Seen them about 15 years ago at the Glasgow Green festival and they were the best band there. Some of their older stuff is fantastic

Aye, based in Edinburgh these days and working in Glasgow for one of the promoters here but used to book Moshulu back in the day and have booked tons of stuff over the years in Aberdeen. Most of my gigs are in the central belt just now but trying to get some more at home for sure.

[Pacman1903]

Good man. Tunnels is a decent venue. Especially when its packed like Saturday.

I forgot to say Cheap Trick winna go a miss either, look out for them touring ;)

[Pacman1903]

The Cult- Music Hall 3/3/15

My only previous viewing the Cult was 15 years ago at the Glasgow Green Festival and they blew every other band away that weekend so was really looking forward to tonight. Im also a long time fan of Billy Duffys guitar style, Astburys also a very under rated singer.

Support band Walking Hands, not bad musically but the frontman was a bit gash

The Cult as expected were decent, All the big classics including "Lil Devil", "Fire Woman", "She Sells Sanctuary" "Love Removal Machine" "Wild Flower" and more. A few new eens too (album already purchased on return to Pac Towers). Decent gig, im guessing it was a sell out. Glad i was there. Back on to Astbury he doesnt half talk pish between songs but he makes up for it with his singing capabillities. Definatley one of the best singers in rock atbthe moment.I also never realised who was on the drum stool these days. Heavy Metal journeyman tub thumper John Tempesta (ex Exodus, Testament, White Zombie, Helmet)

[Redtothebone]

They've never really had a drummer but drummers Steve b (big country )made love album his own

[CalumGilhooly]

Nae sure how many times I've seen the Cult now, last night wasn't the best, but it was a rare old night.

That was the best humour I've seen Astbury in, he's aff his heid at times, but right enough he's got some voice.

Loved the new stuff, the latest album is up there with the best they've done, but the old tunes won it for me. Phoenix, Spiritwalker and Nirvana were fantastic.

Glad the Aberdeen gig was sold out, band seemed genuinely appreciative of that. Hopefully it winna be 29 years till they come back the next time.

As for Tempesta, he's been around the Cult now for 10 years, considering the Cult have a 'Spinal Tap' attitude to drummers, he's done well to last this long. XD

[Pacman1903]

Did any of the old drummers self combust?

[CalumGilhooly]

Well, one is dead, nae idea if he blew up on stage though. :)

Edit: In fact, two of their ex drummers are broon breed.

It was Matt Sorum when i saw them in Glasgow, hes definatley alive and kicking

I was a bit "meh" after last night. When they cranked it up they were at their best, there just wasn't enough of that for me.
They seemed to have quite a lengthy mid gig lull, even the boys in front of me that were going mental at the start

[jackdon]

Was into see the Cult last night, pleasantly surprised. Never a huge fan & t.b.h only knew a few of the songs last night.
But it was pretty good & has to be said the guitarist was superb.
astburys vocals were pretty good but he doesnt half waffle between songs. If they return i will defo be there, didnt see the support group as the drinks were flowing in the globe pre gig.

[CalumGilhooly]

Mark Thomas tomorrow night at the Lemon Tree, always enjoy his shows, hope he nips in past MacKays on Queen St first. :)

[Pauldolski10]

Balls i thought Sabaton and Alestorm was this Wednesday, it was last

[CalumGilhooly]

The Wonder Stuff in Glasgow last night.

Fantastic. Bit of a cheek still calling it a 'band' as there's only Miles left, but a great night nonetheless.

[GlezgaRed]

Two weeks tonight i'll be seeing Guns N’ Roses at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

[Nae Huns]

Was at SHAM69/ANGELIC UPSTARTS last Friday at liquid room edinburgh.superb!

[Pacman1903]

Overkill, Classic Grand, 8/4/16

What a line up. Overkill supported by Vader. Two legends i have never seen. Pretty busy affair and couldnt get on the raised walkway for a decent vantage point. Being 6ft 2 and a bit definatley has its advantages.

Polands finest Vader come on stage much to my delight and play 4 songs and " thank you good night". Turns out there was another support that went on stage and had no power for twenty mins so Vader gave them part of their set time. Nae amused as i was well up for seeing them. Special mention to their drummer, he is a f@cking machine.

New Jersey has brought us Springs****, Bon Jovi, Skid Row but f@ck them all,Overkill piss on them. Another of the thrash pioneers Overkill are definatley due legend status. Singer Bobby "Blitz" is old as f@ck, had strokes on stage, beat cancer but is still at it and is still powerful as f@ck. An hour and 40 they played for with tunes like Armorist, Blood Money, Blood and Iron, Horrorscope, Nice Day For A F

[Pacman1903]

In two weeks time ill be pitched up in a field getting beered up with Pacbro and other beauts awaiting a glut of rock and heavy metal. A heat wave to hit England that weekend too(supposedly). 13 on the bounce for me and im off the leash this year

Saw James at the SECC Hydro last Thursday. Great gig as always from them, but spoiled by the amount of ridiculously drunk and or drugged youngsters in the venue. Even three guys behind us smoking.
Not a steward in sight ( a bit like hampden lol) and very poor with regards to security on a whole.
Guess I have been out of the country too long and havent had to suffer this previously.

Can't begin to imagine how bad T in the park would be.........

[DaewonSong]

I see Black Grape are playing the beach ballroom in November, will be getting some tickets and going with the old man.

Shaun Ryder is always up for it and a good laugh.

[Shadow8]

Can't imagine a gig without a joint or two before! I've been living with a Coffee Shop around the corner for 33 years. Used to be much cheaper when you could buy the blow at the gig but because of the EEC that got banned! Too many coke heads that hate people smoking!!!

[xtrmntr75]

I'm going to head down to Newcastle to see Last Shadow Puppets on Monday. Sit down gig too :)

[Pacman1903]

. Sit down gig too :)

Watch you dinna show your age Term min

[xtrmntr75]

I've done that a few times pac but I think this one is seated only. Kinda like the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Really wish I was seeing Radiohead this summer. Their sets on have been varied and they are playing loads of different stuff from the past.

[Aldo1983]

I was at Brian Wilson last night (sitting down). Last time he is touring Europe so figured it was worth it.

He was joined by Al Jardine, his son and Blondie Chaplin. His band were fantastic.

Done an hour of hits then after a break he done the Pet Sounds album from start to finish.

Beautiful stuff.

[Skacel]

I was at that too. By the looks of him he doesn't have long left on this earth. The encore was my highlight.

[Aldo1983]

I was at that too. By the looks of him he doesn't have long left on this earth. The encore was my highlight.

Delighted to hear that! My pregnant wife decided she couldnt last any longer so we left during the last song from Pet Sounds. I had a look at the set list yesterday and noticed all the songs he played after it! :blue:

Anyway, I saw someone having to help him off the stage and thought the same.

[Pacman1903]

Just bought a ticket for Ginger Wildheart in toon in July. Was supposed to.be away but home now due to my rota f@ck up

Also got a ticket for Dinosaur Jr at the ABC in November.

[wester_ross_don]

The Boss at Hampden on Wed. Looking fwd to it. Quite liking the move away from The River tracks back-to-back on the European leg. (Not seen set list from Dublin yet mind you)

[its_a_goal]

I saw Brian Wilson last year. His band were fantastic but he wisnae. It was a bit like a family wedding and your drunk uncle gets on the stage, grabs the mic and belts out a few tunes.

Ticket riddiculousy expensive?

[milne_afc]

[Aldo1983]

Totally agree, 3-4hrs of non stop rock n roll!

[InversneckieDob]

The Boss at Hampden on Wed. Looking fwd to it. Quite liking the move away from The River tracks back-to-back on the European leg. (Not seen set list from Dublin yet mind you)

Interesting set list from Dublin, a few wildcards in there, he played the Holy Trinity (Jungleland, Thunder Road, Born to Run) back to back.
If that's ever happened before it was an age ago.

Back in your Arms and Lost in the Flood made their tour debuts.

I have to say, I was well up for the full album River show, not sure how it would've gone over in the stadium environment, but in all the times I've seen him, I've never seen tracks like Point Blank, Wreck on the Highway, Drive all Night played live.

It caused a stooshie when he announced he wasn't doing the full River shows in Europe, I'm not doing multiple dates this time, partly a financial decision but partly because I thought it was a River album show.

Well up for Hampden like, weather

Oh aye, mark up of summat like £20-£30 on the same gig 3 years ago.
But, having said that, still a heap cheaper than pretty much every other stadium show on the go.

And in terms of value for money...................no other stadium show comes close.

[deedon]

Tickets were "only" about £75. But by the time they'd finished with add-ons, came to about £86 each. The handling charge is bad enough, and I don't mind paying postage, even when it is exorbitant, but I left it last-minute to buy my tickets so have to pick my tickets up from the venue. For which they are charging me £3.50 for the privilege. At least **** Whittington wore a mask....

[Pacman1903]

^^^^^^^^

Turpin min

[InversneckieDob]

**** Whitington!!!!!!

You're thinking of the Highwayman, Pac's got it.

Betty Turpin.

[InversneckieDob]

Right enough though, the add ons are a feck ing joke for gig tickets.

Gan to Jesse Malin at the Oran Mor in July, ticket was summat like £15.

Turns out the Oran Mor has some kind of tie in with Tickets Scotland, or Gigs Scotland. Something like that.

This mob, in turn, seem to link to Ticketb@5tard.

So I phones Oran Mor to see if I could just get a ticket at the box office.

Nuh, have to go through this website, in turn through Ticketb@st@rd.

It's one thing stadium acts forcing you into the arms of these behemoths, but for a gig like Jesse Malin at a venue like Oran Mor........ the game is defo f u c ked.

[deedon]

Aye D*ck Turpin. And I can't even say D*ck anyway on this site :(

You say the game is a bogey.

For the venue/supplier
They don't have to employ ticketing staff.
The money goes directly into their account (less costs), they aren't paying the individual transaction costs associated with credit/debit card payments and so on

All in all at a time when a lot of smaller

[InversneckieDob]

I understand what you're saying, but when you can't walk into a small venue and buy tickets for a show in that venue, to me, there's something wrong.
Also, I'd prefer the £2, £3, £4 fees that go to Ticketb@stard to go to the bands, venues etc.

I hear your point about the overheads, fees etc. but these things can be administered relatively cheaply these days.
And there are opportunities to use other local independent outlets rather than TB.

[xtrmntr75]

The last two gigs I've been at Oran Mor, I've just turned up on the night and bought tickets. Maybe that's different as the last few tickets probably go to the venue to allow for walk up fans.

The game deffo is a bogey. I'm not sure the artists are that bothered any more. I always thought Radiohead were one of the more conscious bands. I know it's a different subject but secondary ticketing sites do my head in. There were tickets for Radiohead's Roundhouse gigs changing hands on viagogo for over £700.

Most of these big gigs nowadays sellout almost straight away yet secondary sites are selling them. Sites like seatwave are owned by Ticketmaster. That can't be right.

[Pacman1903]

Those after selling c@nts are total c@nts. 99% of the time. A week after Donington tickets came out there were 5night camping weekend tickets for sale on there for 650 quid. The site are c@nts for allowing it and the sellers are c@nts for snapping up heaps of tickets.

Anyway good luck with that as those type of Donington tickets are not sold out and still on the go today for face 220 quid

But and theres always a but. I went to see Slayer/Anthrax in November at the ABC, didnt have a ticket as i was supposed to be offshore. Went on to Getmein and got one for face value and no add ons so it worked out cheaper as Getmeins fees didnt total what was originally added on. But that is an affa rare occasion. Obviously someone who genuinley couldnt make the gig

Gumtree is the best if you need tickets in my experience

[Pacman1903]

Oi System of a Don

Far you at these days min

Donington this year?

[PittodriePile]

Speaking of festivals, the full Glasto line-up was announced today. Some beauties on there but the majority is pi!sh. Anyone else going this year or been before and have any recommendations?

[wester_ross_don]

Aye, this ^^. I reckon it's not bad value for money. I quite like The River, but not all of it, I'd probably have gone anyway, but I'm a bit more enthusiastic he's now doing more "other stuff" too. Dublin set-lists looked ace, either of them, so beers, some sun and The Boss isn't a bad combo :D

[xtrmntr75]

Last Shadow Puppets last night at the Newcastle City Hall. Fantastic. The two of them bounce off each other pretty well. The string quartet were awesome too. Great venue for a gig. Despite there being seats I stood through it :)

[sheep1903]

Sneckie, Fits the script with the pit ?
Nae that bothered to be honest
I'm driving down tomorrow. Will get there about 12ish. Going to see Mark Wright before hand and walk down fae there.
I hear he'll be starting at pretty much 6.30 ?

[simarooskimoose]

As a fellow Boss attendee tomorrow, aye, he will be onstage 6.30 sharp seemingly. Makes sense if they want to chuck out at 10.

I think for the pit thing you have to be there really early and check in repeatedly throughout the day to prove you're really waiting. A couple of folk I know were at the Dublin gig and that's the system they had anyway, they had to check in at half 12 and half 4 and basically spend the rest of the day hanging around Croke Park.
You ask me, for a three and a half hour seat, I'd be queuing for a seat, nae a standing space.

[sheep1903]

Aye, canna be arsed with that. Will just go down nearer the time.
Canna remember having to wait that long to get in the last time I saw him at Hampden (09), so should be fine.

[deedon]

The Boss was absolutely awesome tonight.

[wester_ross_don]

Boss was pretty damn fine last night.

Few minor irritations:

1) We were seated in north stand and the sound was "patchy" particularly in the higher end stuff like the organ and piano. One of the things about gigs in echoey stadiums I suppose.

2) Folk talking to their mates during songs they didn't know ("ah only like the hits eh"). Feck off to the bar for a bit then and shut the fu(k up.

3) Two fuds deciding not to go back on the bus but not telling anyone beforehand, so the rest of us had to hang around for 40-odd minutes waiting for them not to turn up. (Bus tickets said the bus left at 2345, presume this was a default time from other gigs, so the driver and us had to wait)

[InversneckieDob]

Aye, canna be arsed with that. Will just go down nearer the time.

Arite Chief, did you go to Mark W @ The Montford?
I did the marathon pit Q from noon, worth it though, sunny day and plenty beers the day flew in.

WRD one of the main reasons I always try to get into the pit, less nuggets that blether during the likes of Point Blank.
Oh and I doubt you were sat in the North Stand, that's far the stage was....unless you're Max Weinberg?? ;-)

[wester_ross_don]

Ach my cover is blown :-). Was in South stand (always had sheeyite sense of direction). Mrs wrd didn't fancy standing, might just go myself next time :-))

(Having issues with no reply on this thread)

[sheep1903]

Aye, went to see Mark at The Montford. Nae that many people in the afternoon, only about 10. Busier after the gig when he did his 'Elvis songs the Boss'. Cheesy as hell, but good fun after a few drinks !

The concert was amazing. Got a good spot in the middle of the park next to the soundboard. Much better than I got at Hampden in '09 where I got lots of echo. Nae problems this time, and nae queuing to get in.

Folk talking through songs annoys me at any gig, but why pay £75+ and not watch the show !!
This Hard Land was spoiled by people walking past leaving the show.

I'm nae a fan of stadium shows and I doubt I'd pay to see anyone other than Bruce in a stadium, but that was brilliant !!

[InversneckieDob]

That's the problem with stadium "events" like this, some melts just want to "be part of it" and wouldnae ken Sandy or Point Plank if they found it in their soup. But if they can get ratted and sing along to Dancing in the Dark then say to their mates "I was at the Springs**** gig, what a session" they're happy.

Faaaaarks me right off, as do the "waiting a sunny day parents" shoving their precocious little brats forward and barging to the front to do it.

[xtrmntr75]

Ah the Montford. Cracking rub-a-dub. Mate had his 40th in there

The whole ticket scam is something our lazy thieving b@stard politicians should be doing something about. Recent purchase through viagogo on top of stupid cost of ticket were:
Booking Fee: £18.75
Delivery Fee: £9.95
VAT: £3.75

[Mason89]

Just heading back from the Stone Roses. The sound was appalling & John Squire needs a wash but the sing along songs were good when you're drunk. There's an awful lot of Liam Gallagher haircuts in Manchester. Some would even say too many.

Was sitting with a squad of very obnoxious Man U fans before it started. Their whole conversation revolved around how **** City are. Anyway, after a few drinks they burst into song about City being a massive club. It's pretty good. It's just throw away one liners sung to the tune of Half Man Half Biscuits 'Paintballs Coming Home' (or he's got the whole world in his hands if you're a traditionalist) Stuff like 'They signed Spencer Prior on deadline day' etc

That would work very, very well for the victims...

Aye Chris is good but look beyond the screetching and high pitch voices. They might fill stadiums but Neil Young has something special with that voice. A strange vulnerability.

[andoplzcumbak]

No a gig, just been listening to radio 6. Ty Segall and the muggers were playing a session. Never heard o him but he smashed it! I wanna go see him noo!

[xtrmntr75]

Just watching the Glasto coverage. What I saw of Foals I liked and thought Last Shadow Puppets were awesome. Adele is on now. She can fair belt out a tune. Think she's overdoing the foul mouthed 'girl next door' between songs though

[PittodriePile]

Just back from Glasto. What a place! Would certainly recommend doing it at least once in your life. New Order, LCD Soundsystem and Beck being up there with my highlights. Bumped in to a few dandies that I recognised from going to the games aswell, didn't know any names, just screamed "MON IH DONS" at them for them to do the same thing back. Quality!

@andoplzcumbak - Ty Segall is amazing, hunners of brilliant albums.

[Pacman1903]

Ginger (of the Wildhearts) at Underdog tomorrow. F@cking sweet

I see the Answer are back at the Lemon Tree in Nov with the Dead Daisies, purchased, I also just bought a ticket for the Computers at tunnels in nov. Few decent gigs ahead also Dinosaur Jnr in Glasgow in Nov which i bought earlier

Ginger Wildheart Band- 16/7- Underdog

Just in the door. Still smiling. David "Ginger" Walls is my hero simple as. The guy is just f@cking class. I must be approaching 30 times ive seen him in all his bands (The Wildhearts are on 15, that i do know)

The good thing about his solo gigs is you dont know what to expect when you see him as every gig is different, sometimes no interaction, tonight there was, sometime alot of Wildhearts, sometime the biggest hits of his career, always different . His band tonight was Denzil (long time drummer with his solo stuff), Conny Bloom (guitar, Electric Boys,SG5 and Hanoi Rocks) and Toshi(Antiproduct). Only 4 Wildhearts tunes (including Suckerpunch :D )and the rest a career spanning show including tunes from Ginger and the Sonic Circus, Silver Ginger 5 (Sonic Shake :D) and Solo albums. Decent mix with a few rarer heard tunes. No "Black Windows" though which was the only downer Denzil is wicked on the stool. Best drummer hes worked with id say. Underdogs a decent venue, good sound and if you get one of the steps at the side(which i did) a good view. Was driving so was on the cokes so didnt partake in the wide array of Brewdog beers which is probablly a good thing as i can remember the whole night.

[Aldo1983]

Think i'll go and see John Carpeneter (yep, the director of Halloween etc) when he's over here in October playing a few shows.

Thats just sad. At least with Maiden or Springs**** theres a huge back catalogue. Shed 7 must have 3 albums. How many times do you have to see "its getting better" before you think, "hmmm im a bit sick.of this"

[Mason89]

For me it'd be once.

Funnily enough, she's into the same crusty music you like. The Shed 7 thing is just bizarre

[Pacman1903]

Crusty always makes me think of punk bands like Amebix, Hell*******, Disfear nome of which are in my tunes collection

Didnt want to start a new thread, this one seems appropriate. Does anyone think that Aberdeen needs a small, intimate underground club night (deep / tech / prog house) that's all about the music? Kind of mid 90s Pelican vibe? Dark, not too many lights, couple of lasers and a fog machine :) Big sound, full of clubbers not pissheads?

Haha, no, thought that might be the type of reply I'd get on this forum ;) Would be looking to fill the place with students basically. Though folk in their 40s would be welcome, we're not ageist..

[Pacman1903]

Does that kind of club still exist anywhere?

[SteveDelSol]

Does that kind of club still exist anywhere?

No, there's a market for this in Aberdeen. UnderDog (underneath BrewDog in the old Athaneum building) are doing a good job in trying to bring something different to the city's nightlife. We want to bring a proper underground dance club to the city and a percentage of the takings will go to good causes. We've had a lot of good feedback so far :)

[Brian Grantland]

Well if this site is your market research :/

Nae my cup of tea, in fact its as far away from my cup of tea that there is.

But if there is a market for it surely somebody should be taking advantage of it already or do you reckon people are missing a trick and you are trying to fill the gap.

Also, Underdog is tiny, must get sweaty affa quickly, and the punters must get pissed affa quickly on the potent beers

Good luck with your quest, hopefully you get something. (I winna be there though, ill be at home listening to Queensryche)

There's a couple of places in Glasgow doing this but you'll be lucky attracting a young crowd, does tend to be 30s. In fact I prefer it being a slightly older crowd.

Black Grape were pretty sh1te the first time around. The first album was not bad but touring again? Is Shaun skint ?

[Pauldolski10]

Was at Bellahouston Park for Biffy Clyro and Fall Out Boy in Saturday. Very enjoyable im a fan of Fall Out Boy from my younger years and knew what to expect with them, never a hige Biffy fan but after Sat i am sold, they were ace. Missed the X-Certs, Cage The Elephant and WolfAlice as i was at the san giro but what i heard they were all quite good.

[Skacel]

I lost interest in Biffy after Infinity Land but they are playing the AECC in November with support from Brand New, so I might go to that.

The X-Certs are originally from Aberdeen. That's pretty cool they were opening the gig.

Caught a few shows at the Edinburgh festival - Sigur Ros, Mogwai and Sam Beam / Jesca Hoop.

[Skacel]

Also, coming up: Nothing, King Creosote, Honey Blood, 65dos, Into it. Over it. and maybe Beach Slang

Just bought a ticket for thrash titans Kreator for their next European tour finishing gig in their home town of Essen in March. Awesome

Ach sh@te. The Computers at the Tunnels next week is cancelled. Booooo

The Dead Daisies, The Answer. Lemon Tree 12/11

The Answer
A band that have never quite made it but they plug away. Seen them and enjoyed a few times in the past. Tonight nae so much, too many slow tempo tunes. When these guys rock they f@cking rock. Nae so much tonight. Bit dissapointed. Some of the new tunes nae to my liking

The Dead Daisies
Soon as i saw these dudes were playing i had a ticket. Nae for the band themselves but for their guitarist Doug Aldrich. As far as hard rock guitarists go hes one of my favourites and i wasnt missing him and his f@cking excellent chops in Aberdeen.As for the band i knew a few tunes from litening to KNAC and i knew Marco Mendoza(Ex Black Star Riders, Ted Nugent and Right Said Fred, aye you read that correctly) and John Corabi(ex Motley Crue and Ratt) are in them but never really paid much attention. Turns oot these c@nts are right up my street. Some great tunes, great riffing, even the covers they did were great,Fortunate Son and Helter Skelter especially. Before i knew it they had finished. A sign i enjoyed it immensley. Special word on Brian Tichy(ex Pride and Glory and Slashs Snakepit). That guys skills on the drumstool are phenomenally tight. Very good drummer, me and my pal were well impressed. Also was fair chuffed when Aldrich came out in the crowd and did his thing infront of me. Anyway away on to Amazon to get their back catalogue

Aye leo was was a sound dude. Bought me a pint. Said he could afford it. Something aboot hidden money or something

[Pacman1903]

Aerosmith closing out Donington next year. Thought "f@ck sake, twice in three years". Ill let it slide though as its their last ever UK gig ever.

I've got a ticket for it but right now I don't know if I'll be able to attend . You and pacbro staying in Glasgow?

[Pacman1903]

Nah im driving

[Pacman1903]

Dinosaur Jr, ABC 17/11

Cant say im a huge fan but i have a few albums which get a whirl now and then. I saw these guys in 2005 at Donington and enjoyed them so took them on doon the road with Pacbro and wasnt dissapointed

It was worth it. A good night. ABC was full to the gunnels too. This is a band thats been on the go as long as i have and it shows as J Macscis is looking old now with his white/grey long hair/beard combo. Theres a fair chance he is a santa in a mall back home during the festivities as a side income. But hes a master of the effects pedals. Not sure how many he uses through a night but i can guarantee his pedal boards huge. Freak Scene, Tarpit, Start Choppin and the Wagon all in there along with a few new eens which sounded decent(note to self, buy album). A good nostaligic night and highly enjoyed.

Made record time home too which is always a bonus.

[leontrotsky]

some Bowie tribute the night Krakatoa...

Couldn't make it Pac,, had a feeling I wouldn't. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll catch them next time. The c.unts.

Think I ken yer bro is he a bass player ?

[Pacman1903]

nae affa good at all....

[Pacman1903]

That guy has the look of someone who deserves the bite of an Alsation

[Pacman1903]

nae affa good at all....

Thought you were more of a punky kinda of dude anyway

[xtrmntr75]

Had some time off work recently so managed to catch three gigs I'd have normally been away for.

Steve Mason @ The Art School - Decent 7/10
Sleaford Mods @ ABC - Mostly unfamiliar set but still good 7/10
PJ Harvey @ SECC - An absolute joy. Can't remember exactly how many musicians she had on stage but there were quite a few. She played a fairly modern set, very well 9.5/10

[Pacman1903]

Nae that i care but i see T in the Parks binned next year

[xtrmntr75]

Noticed that Pac. Nae that much of a surprise. It's been on a slippery slope for long enough. The new site didn't help but music wise it has become a festival for neds and nippers. They've alienated the people who made it the festival it was. It's probably better they rip it up and start again. Something based in a city park akin to London's Field Day might make more sense.

[Skacel]

I think they are looking into doing a 3 day event at Glasgow green but it won't be TITP.

I used to love it. Went to the full thing for 7 years. Seen some amazing bands there - NIN, RATM, Mogwai to name a few but in recent years there has been nothing to make me want to go back.

As you get older you realise there are better festivals out there that are cheaper, with no bams and with better line ups.

[xtrmntr75]

Yeah, I agree Skacel. I've still to sample it ut Latitude always seems to have a good line-up. Go further afield and Rock Werchter in Belgium is one I'd fancy.

[Pacman1903]

Did you see Cypress Hill Skacel?

Ive always wanted to do Roskilde if we are talking further afeild.

Be hitting Donington this year as usual
