rate the last gig you went to

I'll only ever return to the 02 for the roses. I must of been smashed beyond belief the first time I went to of had a good night. Felt like I was trapped in an airport.

PJ Harvey @ Royal Albert Hall last night

Near enough a ton for 2 tickets and 7 quid for a plastic glass of lukewarm wine nothwithstanding, this was fucking awesome. Polly Jean's first non-sung words were a pre-encore mutter of "Thanks very much, goodnight". Luckily her sung words were earth-shatteringly good. I've not heard heard a better vocal at a gig. I was watching her and realised my jaw was open. The missus had tears running down her face, although she is on the blob. The acoustics were wonderful as expected and bar some embarrassing nobheads in the crowd, it was a magic evening up to it's conclusion. What was noticeable is how much better the Let England Shake songs sound, a real songwriting step up, framing the strong, sinewy concept. Phenomenal, really.

9/10

also, never seen so many gay couples at a gig

some french mates went last night and got a pair outside for £25 each...

ah well, shit happens. sorry at not being able to meet up, we seemed to be running massively late for everything throughout the day. how was noel?

It was ok, some big moments like dlbia. New stuff leaves me cold though. Wilco on sat was hugely undefwhelming

Saturday went arctic monkeys @ the 02

Been there before when I was very very drunk and thought it was ok. Wasn't as drunk this time & hated every single minute. Them and the vaccines were both good but I wished I' hadn't gone I couldn't enjoy it. It's not me being a dick with a anti arena attitude either it was just everything about the place sucked the enjoyment out the night for me. Will only return for the roses, neil young or tom waits. Nobody else could make me go there.

Sunday I saw Ringo Deathstarr @ The Lexington.
This was the bollocks. was a bit weird at first, like revisiting the scene of the crime after the dustins gig, kept getting flashbacks of shit that went down anyway over the past 2/3 years I've stopped seeing 'new bands' or at least bands that play tiny venues, everything i see now is 20 quid plus which is shit. I enjoyed this gig so much and reminded me of why I used to enjoy seeing smaller scale bands so much. Everything was no hassle. Lexington is really nice too, downstairs was really chilled out, great music, nice people. Ringo Deathstarr were superb as well I really love that new record. Top band

Last night Noel @ roundhouse.
Most horrible, useless bunch of dickheads I've ever seen at a gig. Seriously everyone was static until wonderwall when they all decided to get their camera phones out. I really enjoyed half the world away and talk tonight, they were the type of Oasis songs Noel should of done. Supersonic made me cringe big time & I fucked off during little by little cos I'd had enough of everybody around me. The good rebel was the bollocks, biggest song ever & that manky teeth whatever the fuck it's called sounds better than anything on his album.
Enjoyed it despite the crowd, it just reminded me of what a bunch of weird people Oasis fans are. I'd take the beered up piss throwing racist crowds over what I got stuck with last night.

So basically, I should stop going to big gigs cos I am a miserable cunt.

You could tell it was over when everyone stood there like eggs during Mucky Fingers.

Still Good Rebel, Talk Tonight and Half The World Away were good.

Just looking on Ringo Deathstarr's facebook now, that girl is absolutely smoking hot.

should have been shot on the spot for taking on supersonic the big cunt. ;D



what's that chant all about.

exactly the reasons i suspected to stay away from these 2 gigs. there were quite a few annoying twats for pj harvey at RAH but the material and performance was so strong and the venue so great that it overcame it easily.

camera phones at gigs are despicable. i can fully understand taking a photo or a quick vid clip for the sake of memory, i wish i did it at more gigs, but to just have them out recording whole songs and taking pics from every angle...i don't fucking get it. what's the fun in taking yourself so far out of the moment?

handy for people like me who can watch the gig on youtube the next morning and save meself ticket money and travel expenses.

some people just live their life through photos though, don't they. there's always someone who on a night out will spend literally the entire time taking pictures, to remind themselves what a great time they had even though they missed it all.

Stocky, that girl is amazing. I saw them maybe 2 years ago as a 4-piece and they are so much better now yet I don't remember her being so fucking hot. She wears the shortest skirts I've ever seen. I was pretending I was Kevin Burgess and having a good look at 'the pedals' which is quite ironic as Kev would of jizzed everywhere as I've never seen a band use so fucking many of them.
If you've not heard them their album from this year Color Trip I think you'd like. I call them the pains of being my bloody mary chain as they've no sound of their own but they sound convincingly like all 3 of those bands at times.

weird, are they? they spend their money to see someone they seem to hate. bunch of fucking weirdos, yeah.

Who's hating? I've clearly stated that I dig the record. Did you know that your Nan's dead?

The camera phone epidemic is totally out of control these days. Pretty sure I watched at least half of the beady eye show in toronto through the person in front of me's viewfinder.

lad I know drove their tourbus earlier in the year.



she has absolutely perfect tits.
